4. Chii chakaita kuti Jesu ‘afare kwazvo nomudzimu mutsvene’?
4 Kunzwisisa Shoko raMwari hakubvi pakuva nenjere kana kuti padzidzo yenyika, inowanzokurudzira kudada. Pane kudaro, kunobva pamutsa waJehovha usina kukodzera kuwanwa, waanoratidza vanhu vanozvininipisa, vane mwoyo yakatendeseka vanoziva zvavanoda pakunamata. (Mateu 5:3; 1 Johani 5:20) Jesu paaifungisisa kuti vamwe vanhu vasina kukwana vainyorwa mazita avo kudenga, “akafara kwazvo nomudzimu mutsvene, akati: ‘Ndinokurumbidzai pachena, Baba, Ishe wokudenga nenyika, nokuti makanyatsovanzira vakachenjera nevakangwara zvinhu izvi, mukazvizarurira vacheche.’”—Ruka 10:17-21.
5. Nei vadzidzi vaJesu vakanga vasingafaniri kurerutsa chokwadi choUmambo chavakaziviswa?
5 Anyengetera nomwoyo wose, Jesu akati kuvadzidzi vake: “Anofara maziso anoona zvinhu zvamuri kuona. Nokuti ndinoti kwamuri, Vaprofita vazhinji nemadzimambo vaida kuona zvinhu zvamuri kuona asi havana kuzviona, nokunzwa zvinhu zvamuri kunzwa asi havana kuzvinzwa.” Chokwadi, Jesu akakurudzira vateveri vake vakatendeka kuti vasarerutsa chokwadi chinokosha choUmambo chavakanga vaziviswa. Zvizvarwa zvekare zvevashumiri vaMwari zvakanga zvisina kuziviswa chokwadi ichi, uye chakanga chisina kuziviswa “vakachenjera nevakangwara” vomuzuva raJesu!—Ruka 10:23, 24.
6, 7. (a) Nei tichifanira kukoshesa chokwadi chaMwari? (b) Musiyano upi watinoona mazuva ano pakati pechitendero chechokwadi nechenhema?
6 Mazuva ano, tine zvikonzero zvakatowanda zvokuonga chokwadi chaMwari, nokuti Jehovha akaita kuti vanhu vake vatonzwisisa zvakadzama Shoko rake, achishandisa “muranda akatendeka, akangwara.” (Mateu 24:45; Dhanieri 12:10) Nezvenguva yomugumo, muprofita Dhanieri akanyora kuti: “Vazhinji vachamhanya-mhanya, uye zivo yechokwadi ichawanda.” (Dhanieri 12:4) Haubvumi here kuti mazuva ano zivo yaMwari ya“wanda” uye kuti vashumiri vaJehovha vane zvokudya zvine chokuita nokunamata zvakawanda chaizvo?
7 Tinoona musiyano wakakura chaizvo pakati pokubudirira kwevanhu vaMwari pakunamata nokuvhiringika kwezvitendero zveBhabhironi Guru! Somugumisiro, vakawanda vanoodzwa mwoyo kana kuti vanoshatiriswa nezvitendero zvenhema vari kuenda kunonamatwa zvechokwadi. Ndivo vanhu vakaita semakwai va“singadi kugovana naro [Bhabhironi Guru] zvivi zvaro” kana “kuwana mamwe matambudziko aro.” Jehovha nevashumiri vake vanokoka vose vakadaro kuti vauye muungano yechiKristu.—Zvakazarurwa 18:2-4; 22:17.
Vanhu Vanoonga Vari Kuuya Kuna Mwari Vakawanda
8, 9. Mashoko aHagai 2:7 ari kuzadzikiswa sei mazuva ano?
8 Achifanotaura nezveimba yake yomudzimu yokunamatira, Jehovha akati: “Ndichazunungusa marudzi ose, uye zvinhu zvinokosha zvemarudzi ose zvichauya; uye ndichazadza imba ino nokubwinya.” (Hagai 2:7) Uprofita uhu hunoshamisa hwakazadzika munguva yaHagai vakasarira vakadzorerwa vevanhu vaMwari pavakavakazve temberi muJerusarema. Mazuva ano, mashoko aHagai ari kuzadzikazve panyaya ine chokuita netemberi huru yaJehovha yomudzimu.
9 Mamiriyoni akatouya kutemberi yokufananidzira kuitira kuti anamate Mwari “nomudzimu nechokwadi,” uye gore roga roga mazana ezviuru zve“zvinhu zvinokosha zvemarudzi ose” anoramba achiuya. (Johani 4:23, 24) Somuenzaniso, mushumo wenyika yose wegore rebasa ra2006 unoratidza kuti vanhu 248 327 vakabhabhatidzwa vachiratidza kuzvitsaurira kwavo kuna Jehovha. Nhamba iyoyo inomiririra avhareji yevanhu vatsva 680 zuva roga roga!

Vaivenga hondo uye vaivhiringidzwa uye vainetseka pavaiona vafundisi vachikomborera varwi nezvombo. Vaviri vacho pavaikura, vainzwa sokuti vamwe muchechi vakanga vasisina hanya navo, kunyange zvazvo Virginia akanga adzidzisa Sandisikuru kwemakore akawanda. “Hapana munhu aitishanyira kana kuti airatidza kuva nehanya nezvokunamata kwedu,” vakadaro. “Chechi yaingoda mari yedu chete. Takavhiringidzika.” Vakatozonyanya kuodzwa mwoyo chechi yavo payakabvumira ungochani.
11 Munguva iyi, Muzukuru waWayne naVirginia pamwe chete nomwanasikana wavo vakava Zvapupu zvaJehovha. Kunyange zvazvo Wayne naVirginia vasina kufara nazvo pakutanga, pave paya vakazochinja maonero avo ndokubvuma kudzidza Bhaibheri. Wayne akati, “Mumwedzi mitatu chete, takadzidza zvakawanda nezveBhaibheri kupfuura zvatakanga tadzidza mumakore anopfuura 70 akanga adarika! Taisamboziva kuti Mwari anonzi Jehovha, uye hapana chataiziva nezvoUmambo uye kuti pasi richava Paradhiso.” Munguva pfupi, vaviri ava vaida chokwadi vakatanga kupinda misangano yechiKristu uye kuitawo ushumiri. “Tinoda kuudza munhu wose chokwadi,” akadaro Virginia. Vakabhabhatidzwa muna 2005, pavakanga vava nemakore anopfuura 80. “Tawana boka revaKristu vechokwadi,” vakadaro.

Uye rakaitwa saizvozvo. Nei? Nokuti Noa “akaita maererano nezvose zvaakanga arayirwa naMwari.

Chokwadi, basa redu guru nderokuparidza mashoko akanaka oUmambo hwaMwari hwakagadzwa uye kubatsira vakafanirwa kuti vave vadzidzi vaJesu Kristu.

Mazuva ano muungano 99 770 dziri munyika yose, Chikoro chaMwari Choushumiri uye Musangano Webasa zvinoitwa vhiki yoga yoga kuti zvitibatsire muushumiri. Unoratidza here kuti unoonga misangano iyi inokosha nokugara uchiipinda uye uchishandisa zvaunodzidza?—VaHebheru 10:24, 25.

Asi ngatiregei kukanganwa kuti Jehovha noMwanakomana wake vanokoshesa zvechokwadi vose vanoshumira Mwari nomwoyo wose, sezvavanoita zvose zvavanokwanisa kuita.—Ruka 21:1-4; VaGaratiya 6:4.
16. Zvishandiso zvipi zvokudzidzisa zvakagoverwa naMwari munguva ichangopfuura?
