Nyaya yakananga yezviro zvataurwa naIsaya pano muchitsauko 43 – chitsauko 42 ndiyo nyaya yakapara; rwiyo rwumushumiri anotambura – zitsauko 40 kusvika 55 zvebhuku la Isaya. Chitsauko 42, chitsauko chatinova Mwari anataura pamusoro pa kuuya kwumushumiri waShe, chinhu chitsva chaaigadzira Muri, chido chake kutizve nyika dzione chiedza chake. Asi chitsauko 42 chinopera pamamiriro akasuru a vanhu wake. Vakapofumadzwa ivo vanzwa. Chitsauko chinopera nerurimi rwekuti Mwari achidurura hasho yake. Inoguma zvakaipa, uye inoisa hwaro kwekutangira chitsauko 43 mune zvandinoita “Rugare rwekubva”.

Tatidziye praye toverenge chitsauko 43, zvitatu 1 kusvika 7.

Baba, izwi lako; tiveni vanhu wake. Taura. Titeerere. Tipe pfungwa dzakar cleared. Dyara zvizhinji izvi mumitima yedu. Dyisa mweya yedu. Tipe midziyo. Baba, senga pedyo. Titeerere patinonamata muNazi Jeso, amen.

Isaya chitsauko 43, kutanga na zvitatu 1:

Ashava anoti izvi Jehovha, Akakusika iwe Israaeri, Akakugadzira iwe Jacobu: “Usatye, nokuti ndakukombera; ndakukudana zita rako, iwe ndiwe wangu. Unopita nemvura, ndichava newe; nemwenje, haungakukurira; unofamba nomoto, haungatsvi, uye moto haungakushavi. Nokuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, Mwenzi weIsraaeri, Muponesi wako. Ndinoipa Misra kwauri, Kushi” (kureva, Ethiopia), “naSebha, kwauri. Nokuti uri mupfumi pamberi pezvangu, uye wakakudzwa, ndinokuda. Ndinoipa vanhu kwauri, marudzi kwauri. Usatye, nokuti ndini newe; ndichauya navana vako kubva kumavirira, ndichakusanyira kubva kumasheri. Ndichati kuchamhembe, Tenga; kumadokero, Usakudzivira; unza vana vangu vari kure, namwanasikana vangu kubva kumagumo e pasi, munhu wese anodanwa nezita rangu, wandakamusika nokuti kukudzwa kwangu, wandakamusika.”

Vanhu vose vakafanana nenzara, uye kubwinya kwavo kwakafanana nemaruva emunda. Nzara inovhiringa, maruva anowira, asi Shoko laMwari wedu rinomira nekusingaperi.

Chii ni “Rugare rwekuva”? Zvakanaka, pamaybe tinotangira kutsanangura, “Chii ni kuva”? Regai ndikuzivisai kwandinoda kuenda mu sermon iyi nhasi. Tinchitaura pamusoro pekuva, tinchitaura pamusoro pekuva kunoratidzika sei, ndotimiza nekubvunza mubvunzo, “ Nei zvikosha?”

Chii ni Kuve?

Chii chinonzi kuva wako? Ngatitarisai pamutauro unoita naIsaya mune verse 1. “Asi ikozvino izvi ndizvo zvinotaurwa naShe, Iye akakusika, iwe Jakobe, Iye akakugadzira, iwe Israeri: ‘Usatya, nokuti ndakukombera; ndakukudana nezita rako, iwe ndiwangu.’” Unoziva misoro mikuru yaBhaibheri ipapo – akakusika; akakugadzira; akukombera. Tinofunga nezvebudiko iro guru kubva kwaIjipiti – Mwari akombera vanhu Wake kubva kubudiko akavagadzika munyika yaPledge, nyika Yaakavapikirira Abrahama. “Akukombera” – iro shoko rechiHebheru, “gaal,” rinoreva “muredembera” – kufunga pamwe chete nemitsara ya “muponesi, murevengerri,” zvakafanana naBoazi aiva muponesi, murevengerri waRuth naamai wake wakaroorwa, Naomi; mukama muredembera uyo akavimbisa ramangwana ravo pamabasa ake ekuredembera. Iro ndiro fungu reMwari riri kureva; Iye akakukombera. Iye akavimbisa ramangwana la vanhu Wake pamabasa ake ekuredembera kwavari.

“Akakudana nezita” – zvakare, funga nhambo yaakaita naAbhrahama; funga nhambo yaakaita naSara, mudzimai wake. Zita ravo akalichinja sei; Akavadaidzera nezita. Funga Noa. Akadaidza Noa nezita. Ari kubvuma kuwana nhambo dzepedyo naMwari vaya aakavadaidza nezita. Sezita baba na mwana, Mwari achivhura mikova yeramutswa, vanhu wake havatongova vatumwa wake chete, asi ivo vana wake. “Akakudana nezita.” Mukusiyana naizvozvo, teerera zvaanoreva muPisarema 1, izvo chati takaverenga vhiki mbiri dzapfuura. “Jehofa anoziva nzira yevakarurama, asi nzira yevakaipa,” anoreva, “ichaparara.” Ichanyangamuka; haiuzwi. Kana kunyange zvakare, zvaJesu anoreva muMathewu chitsauko cha7 kutanga na verse 21. “Hakusi vese vanoti kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe’ vachapinda mubhomba la Jehovah. Asi iye anoita kuda kwaBaba wangu ari mudenga.” Kune vaya vanoti, “Ishe, Ishe,” asi vasingaiti kuda kwaBaba wake mudenga, Jesu anoreva, “Ndichavazivisa, ‘Handina kumuziva. Handina kumuziva. Endai kure kwangu.’” Mwari anoreva pavanhu wake, “Akakudana nezita. Ndinoziva. Ndinoziva pedyo. Akakudana nezita.”

Uyezvino Anokupedzisa zvose nezvokuti “munyangu.” Funga zvakare pamusoro pechiporofita chikuru icho Mwari anokusanyira vanhu vake paSinai mushure zvemishumo yose yaikapoclimax yaekisodo. Anovakusanya kwake paSinai. Anoti, “Imi pachenyu munachiona zvandakaitira vaEjipita, ndakakunyanyai semapapiro eaguruva ndikakukuzirai kwangu. Zvino na, kana zvino dai munoteerera inzwi rangu roguchengeta chibvumano changu, munenge pacheni pfuma yakakosha pakati pavanhu vose. Sei zvose pasi zvangu. Munenge kwangu umambo vaaprista na vana rudzivo. Munenge pacheni pfuma yakakosha.” Ndiyo nhumbi; ndiyo mutoro unotakurwa paAnoti, “Munyangu. Munyangu setsvimbo.” Pfuma yakakosha. Izvi zvinoreva, Mwari ari kut, “Ndine chaimbwa chakakosha paari uye nepachivimbiso, munenge na chaimbwa chakakosha pandiri.” Cherechedza Mwari anovazivisa sei – “Ndakakupai zita; munyangu.”

Ndakukuudzai nezve kupera kunorwadza kweshoko 42. Mwari havazivisi vanhu vake nekyaro kwo kupera kuno kurwadza sezvavanoita pa kupera kweshoko 42, asi Anovazivisa vanhu vake ne shoko, “Munyangu.” Ndiyo Anovazivisa vanhu vake. Havanyanyi kutombwa nekutenda, kunyange dai vari. Iwe na ini tinorwa nawo sin. Iwe na ini tinorasikirwa nawo sin nguva dzose. Asi Mwari anozivisa nezvatinwi, “Munyangu. Ndakukupai zita. Ndakatanga ukama nawe. Munenge pacheni pfuma yakakosha.”

Inokuva Sei Kubva Kwake?

Zvakanaka, kuva nhengo kunoratidzika sei? Regai tidzore zvimwe zvinhu kubva kudzagezhe. Imwe yezvinhu zvatinoona ndeyekuti kuva nhengo kunoratidzika kunge kuchitobhurufa kubva, kunakidzwa nekutarisika kwaMwari. Tarisai zvinyorwa 2 ne5. Zinyorwa 2, “Kana muchipita nemvura, Ini ndichavaenyu.” Zinyorwa 5, “Musatya, nokuti Ini ndichavaenyu.” Iyo ndiyo Nheyo yaEmmanuel – Mwari anezvose, anogara veeku, vari pamwe na vanhu Wake. Mwari varienyu; Mwari varienyu! Varipo mukutambudzika kwedu. Achishanda zvinhu zvakanaka kubva kwatiri sezvavaimba. Kuvatsigira; kuvabatsira; kuvapa simba; kuvagonesa. Varipo mujoie redu. Kuvabatsira kurangarira kuti zvinhu zvose zvakanaka zvatinakidzwa nazvo zvakaudzwa kwatiri neruoko Rwegracia rwaMwari.

Kudzivirira

Ko kuva nhengo kunoratidzika sei? Kunoratidzika kunge kuchinakidzwa nekupedza mazuva muvpo weMwari. Kunoratidzika kunge kudzivirirwa. Tarisa vesi ya 2. “Wakati uchipita nemvura, Ini ndichava newe; uye unoti uchipita nerwizi, haruzakukundi. Wakati uchifamba nomoto, hautapiswi, uye liea haruzakushupisa.” Isaya anotatamura njodzi mbiri, njodzi mbiri dzinotyisa, dzinotaura njodzi dzose. Cherechedza chisimbiso. Njodzi dzichauya. Haati, “Kana uchipita nemvura” na “Kana uchifamba nomoto.” Wakati uchidaro – njodzi dzichauya. Zvimwe vazhinji vedu nhasi tiri pakati penjodzi, njodzi imwe, pamwe kunyange ikozvino vagere munzvimbo iyi yaungano mangwanani. Kumwe kuedzwa, kutambura, kusava nechokwadi, kusava netariro, kuora mwoyo, marwadzo kana kurasikirwa kana kusuwa. Majina anogona kuenderera mberi kwenguva refu kunyange ikozvino. Asi mutendi waJesu, iwe unobva kuMwari Baba, Musiki wekudenga nawe. Uye akakusika, akakugadzira, na akakudzikinura. Mune njodzi, tine tarisiro yake isingachinji na simba lake lotsekwa kudzivirira. Tingatambura, asi takachengeteka. Tingatopiwa nyika, asi takachengeteka. Tingatonzwa sekunge tichida kunyura, asi takachengeteka. Anotizwira, “Imi venyu. Pasi rose renyu, ini ndinayo, imi venyu nhaka yandinokoshesa.”

Zvaanofarira

Ko kuva nhengo kunoratidzika sei? Kunoratidzika, pezvepo pamwe chete nekuvapo uye kudzivirira, kunoratidzika se kufarira. Teerera zvinyorwa 3 na 4. “Nei ndini Jehova Mwari wenyu, Mutsvene waIsraeri, Muponesi wenyu. Ndinoupa Misraimu sechibhadharo chenyu, Kushi” (kureva, Ethiophia), “na Seba musana wenyu. Nokuti unokosha pamaziso angu, uye unokudzwa, ndinokudai. Ndinoupa vanhu musana wenyu, vanhu musana weupenyu hwenyu." Kana uri kutarira pazvinyorwa izvozvo, ndinoda kuti uone chinhu. Une nzira yechiHebheru yetsika iri kushanda pano. Une kudzokorora. Une kudzokorora kwepfungwa yechibhadharo. "Ndinoupa Misraimu sechibhadharo chenyu." Nawo kumagumo ayo, kumagumo averse 4, "Ndinoupa ini musana wenyu." Iri kusimbisa pfungwa, mune ino nyaya, pfungwa yechibhadharo. Nawo pakati pezvo, munzvimbo yakakoshesa, "Nokuti unokosha pamaziso angu, uye unokudzwa, ndinokudai." Hako hakugoni kupfuura; hako hakugoni kupfuura. Une kudzokorora ikoko kwakashinga kwepfungwa yechibhadharo nawo pakati payo Mwari achizivisa, “Ndino kuda! Unokosha kwandiri!” Kaluvini anoti, “Jehova anotora hanya yakadaro kwa vese vatendi kuti Anavatakurai vakakwirira kupfuura vamwe wose wepasi.” Zvinofadza.

Manotsi mashoma a nhoro. Imwe inoti. Mambo Hezekia – teererai! Iri inhoro yeIsraeri; haisi kuzonyanya kufinha. Musandiregerei! Mambo Hezekia weJudha akapangana neMisraimu achipambana naSennacherib, mambo weAsiria. T mimwe nguva. Ndakagara muzvikoro zvakawanda kuti ndikwanise kutaura zita iroro zvakanaka, Sennacherib! Uye ndakadzidza rimwe, “Tiglath-Pileser." Munofanira kunyanya kukudzwa nekuti ndakapedza maawa akawanda ndichishanda pamusoro pezvinhu izvozvo makore apfuura! Uye akapangana naFarao weMisraimu na mambo we Ethiopia. Uye unowana izvozvo mu2 Mafumu 18 naIsaya chitsauko cha30 na31. Kuti aite kodzero yake nekururamiswa kwake, mambo weAsiria anorwisa nehondo zake kubva Judah. Sezvo kurova kukuru kuri kuda kudzika Judah ichava kup粉粉, Sennacherib anofanira kupumha hondo zake kudzivirira hondo inopinda kubva Ethiopia naMisraimu. Vanawa munzira yavo Sennacherib avadzinga kusvika Misraimu. Judah inoponeswa, nevaMisraimu naEthiopia vachidyiwa nehondo zaAsiria. Heino pfungwa. Judah inoponeswa nekuti Mwari akapa vavengi vake mumwe anotsiva. Judah inoponeswa nekuti Mwari akapa vavengi vake, munyaya iyi, vaAsiria, mumwe anotsiva.

Cherechedo chekare mbiri. Panguva ya Pasika, yakatarova mugore 30 AD, gavana weRoma wepurovhinzi ya Judea akatendera kuti Jesu waNazareta, mupresita anofamba achip preachisha nevashandi vane zvishamiso, hwake nemabasa ake akapa humbowo hwakawanda hwekuti Akazve Mwanakomana waMwari naMesia akamirirwa kwenguva refu. Mazuva matatu gare gare, Akamutswa kubva kufa, Mwari achisimbisa nesimba kuti Akazve Mwanakomana waMwari naMuponesi wevatadzi. Mwari akatumwa Mwanakomana wake semutengo wokudzikisa vanhu wake vakashaika na vatadzi. Mwari akatumwa Mwanakomana wake semutengo wako nawe, anotenda Jesu. Akapa kupfuura Misra. Akapa kupfuura Ethiopia. Akapa kupfuura Seba. Akapa Mwanakomana wake wega. Tine zviratidzo zve kutsiva kwake, zvemutengo wake, zviri pano pamberi patafura. Tichazvida mumaminitsi mashoma. Zviratidzo zvemuviri wake wakaputsika na ropa rake rakadiwa. Ko kuva wake kunoratidzika sei? Kunoratidzika kunge Mwari achida kuponesa vanhu wake kunyange paakabhadharwa neupenyu hweMwanakomana wake wega.

Kudzorerwa

Chimwe chinhu chimwe chekutaura pamusoro pezvinoreva kuva nhengo. Zvinoreva kudzorerwa. Tarisa aya 5, 6, na 7 pano pamusoro pechidzidzo chedu apo Isaya anoti, “Usatye, nokuti ndini newe;” – achitaura, hongu, pamusoro paShe. “Ndichauya navana vako kubva kumadokero, uye kubva kumavirazuva ndichakusanyira. Ndichati kuchamhembe, Rega, uye kumaodzanyemba, Usakudzivire; unza vana vangu kubva kure uye vanasikana vangu kubva kumagumo ePasi, munhu wese anodanwa nezita rangu, wandakamusika nokuda kwekubwinya kwangu, wandakaumbwa nawo.” Utumwa hwaIsaya hwetumwa hwakatanga muumambo hwezasi waYuda wakaramba kwaa kwemakore makumi mashanu. Asati atanga utumwa hwaa hwemakore makumi maviri, madzinza gumi ekuzasi akazivikanwa saIsraeri akapihwa kuutapwa naAsiria. Tiri kutaura pamusoro pezvizvarwa zvakarasika zwaIsraeri. Ivo ndio! Nokuti vakabatanidzwa mune mamwe matunhu ehuwa waAsiria, ivo sevanthu havakudzorerwi paPasi zvakare. Vaya vose vangadai vakaponeswa vangadai vakayirauza kumaodzanyemba kutangira kutambudzika kuumambo waYuda. Vakanyangarika; vakarasika. Vakarasika munhoroone wose kubva panguva iyoyo. Akatyisa; chiitiko chikuru. Zakatambudza, uye zvakaitika nokuda kwekutenda, kuoma kwemwoyo na kuzvarwa, kutendeka kwakatevedzana. Mwari, pashure pezvizvarwa, akavapa kawaye wavo nokuti havakuteerera Zwi rake.

Kutapwa kuri kuuya kweJudha. Ichaitika makore 150 mushure me kufa kwaIsaya. Nechikonzero chimwe chete – kusatenda, kuoma kwe moyo, kutendeka kwas契約. Asi zvakare, teerera ahwepo aMwari. Chii chinoita kuva chake kutaridzika? Inotaridzika sekudzorerwa mushure me kutongwa kwaunwa na sin. Sin, sin yavo, haisi magumo e nyaya yavo. Asi nokuti vana chake Mwari uyo anotarira kwavari se pfuma yake inokosha, Anovachengeta. Anovadzorerwa. Sin yedu haisi magumo e nyaya yedu; kudzorerwa ndiko! Kunyange kana tikapamba, kunyange kana tikakomarisa mwoyo yedu na kupamba mu sin, kana tikatenda paJesu, Jesu akava Muponesi naShe wedu, Anosvika kwatiri. Anotsemura kuoma kwe moyo. Anotsemura kutsamira pa sin. Anotidzorerwa. Sin yedu haisi magumo e nyaya yedu. Kudzorerwa ndiko! Nokuti tina chake, na nokuti Akapa upenyu we Mwanake kwaTiri, Anodzorerwa izvo sin yaka ruina. Ndizvo kuva chake kutaridzika. Inotaridzika sekudzorerwa.

Kwakei Zvakakosha?

Zvakanaka, kwakei zvakakosha? Tichafanira kupfupika. Kwakei zvakakosha? Tarisa vesi 7. Uyo anodzorerwa ani? Uyo anotunganidza kubva kumavirira na kubva kumadokero na kubva kuchamhembe na kubva kumabvazuva? “Wese uyo anodanwa nezita rangu, wandakamusika nokuda kwe kubwinya kwangu.” Mwari anoita chisungo chikomba pakati pekubwinya kwake na kuponeswa kwedu. Mwari anoita chisungo chikomba pakati pekubwinya kwake na kuponeswa kwedu. Anosunga kuduma kwake kwaari. Anosunga kuduma kwake kwatiri na kuponeswa kwedu pamagumo, mune ino nguva kudenga, pamberi pake. Anosunga kuduma kwake kuponeswa kwa vana vake.

Mihombwe ye Nyasha zaMwari

Tevera Ephesani chitsauko cha2. “Tatova vakafa pakutenda kwedu, Mwari akatidzosa kuzo upenyu pamwe naKristu, kuburikidza nerufaro rwenyu wakaponeswa, akatikusimudza pamwe naaye akatugadza pamwe naaye munzvimbo dzedenga muKristu Jesu kuti, muzera ririkuuya, angaratidza pfuma isingapimiki yerufaro rwake muutsitsi wake kwatiri muKristu Jesu.” Mwari anozviratidza kuva nomutsa unokudzwa zvikuru paanoratidza zvinhu zverufaro rwake, zvinhu zvemutsa wake – vanhu vake! Iwe na ini na vose vakapfuura vakati na vose vachauya! Anoratidza kwatiri sezvinhu zverufaro rwake unokudzwa. Knee dzose dzinofanira kukotama na rurimi rwose rufanira kubvuma kuti Jesu ndiye Ishe. Anobatanidza kukudzwa kwake nekuponeswa kwavanhu vake.

Makore mashoma apfuura, kuburikidza nerupo rweshamwari vake vadiwa, ndakaenda rwendo rwekutanga rwekufamba nechikepe. Takabhururuka tikapinda Tortola, British Virgin Islands, uye izvi zvaitika mazuva asati air conditioning yaitambiswa kwaari so airport na customs house zvaitova zvivako zviviri; kwaisina madziro akawanda. Vakanga vasingadi kuvharidzira mhepo. Ndiye ndakayeuka ndakamira mumutsara murefu kuseri kwechiratidzwa chakanga chakanyorwa, “Vashanyi.” Izvo zvaitova zvine musoro; ndiye vashanyi. Ndakayeuka ndakamirapo, ndichinzwa mhepo na kuona miti yemadeti ichikwenziwa, dzimwe nguva ndainzwa saini yegungwa ichirova pamhenderekedzo yaiva kure kure, ndichinzwa kunetseka kwangu kuchisiya na kunzwa kwerufaro rwauya. Naipapo ndakaona mutsara uri kurudyi rwangu. Waiva pfupi. Waifamba nekukurumidza kupfuura uyo wandaimira, na chiratidzwa chakanyorwa pamusoro wake chakati, “Vagari.” Mwoyo wangu, ndinofunga wakaita suko rakabuda. Mupfungwa mako ndaiti, “Ndinoda kuva mugari pano! Ndinoda kuva mugari pano! Ndinoita sei kuva mugari pano! Nzvimbo iyi yakanaka!”

Iwe Unogona Kuva Mugari

Zvimwe zvingava uri pano nhasi, zvingava uri muenzi; zvingava uri muenzi pakati pemhuri yaMwari. Wai ziva kuti unogona kuva mubereki? Uye zvipikirwa zvese zvakanaka zvamwari zvatakanga tichitaura zvingava zvako. Unoziva here uri munhu akatadza asingagoni kuzviponesa? Unotenda here uri kuda Muponesi? Unogona here kuvimba naJesu waNazareta, Mwanakomana waMwari naMuponesi wavatadzi? Unogona here kuva nechivimbo kuti Iye ndiye akamire pachinzvimbo chako, akabhadhara dhanzi yako, akabvuma hasha zaMwari kwauri akakupfekesha nekururama kwake? Ndiyo ndiyo njia yatinova mubereki. Tinoona kuda kwedu; tinoona zvitadzo zvedu. Tinosuka kubva kuzvitadzo zvedu nosuka kubva pakuzvigona, pakuedza kwedu kuzvigadzira pachedu pachitarisiko chaMwari, totizvireva pachena pamunhu akamire pachinzvimbo chedu. Totizvireva pachena pamunhu pachena pamunhu waMwari wakaratidzwa naKristu. Ndiyo ndiyo njia yava mubereki.

Ndine tariro yokuti uchatarisa mwoyo wako nhasi. Sezvatinotegura kuenderera chechi yaShe patafura, ndine tariro yokuti uchatarisa mwoyo wako woona kana uri muenzi kana mubereki. Tiyeuke kuna She muombe.

Baba, Unopanguva vanhu vakanga vasina vanhu, kuva vanhu vako. Unopanguva vanhu vakanga vasina kumbogamuchira nyasha, kugamuchira nyasha. Ndianiko Mwari akadai saKowakugonesa kutadza nokuregerera zvitadzo? Ndianiko Mwari akadai saKowakufarira kuponesa vatadzi? Tatenhe zvipikirwa zvatakanga tichifunga nezvazvo. Zvikanyura mumwoyo wedu zozvigadzira pachedu pamunhu wedu, zozvigadzira pachedu pamunhu waMwari, zozvigadzira pachedu pamunhu wedu, zvikanyura pamunhu wedu. Uye kupfuura, tibatsire kuzvigadzira pachedu pamunhu wako. Titegere, sezvinoita nhapwa yedu, Baba, munziwani waJesu nawo. Amen.
