Bhaibheri Rinoitaura Chii Nezvekurambana?

Ko Biblia Inoti Chii Nezvekurambana?

Mathewu 19:1-12

NaRev. Mike Osborne

Jesu apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi, akasiya Galilea, agienda kumatunhu eJudha, mhiri kweJordani. Vanhu vakawanda vakamutevera, akavaporesa ipapo. VaFarise vakauya kwake kuti vamuedze. Vakamubvunza, “Zviri pamutemo here kuti murume arambane nemukadzi wake nechero chikonzero chipi?”

“Hakuna here kuverenga,” akapindura, “kuti pakutanga Musiki akavagadzira murume nemukadzi, akati, ‘Nechikonzero ichi murume achasiya baba naama, agabatana nemukadzi wake, vaviri vachava nyama imwe’? Saka havawachanyiko vaviri, asi mumwe. Naizvozvo, izvo Mwari vakabatanidza, regai murume achiparadzanisa.”

“Ipapo,” vakabvunza, “nei Mose akarayira murume kupa mukadzi wake gwaro lokurambana, akamusiya?”

Jesu akapindura, “Mose akarega muchirambana nemakadzi enyu nokuti mwoyo yenyu dzaiva dzakaoma. Asi hakuna kweri izvozvo pakutanga. Ini ndinokuudza kuti ani naani anorambana nemukadzi wake, kunze kwekuipa kwemukadzi, akaroora mukadzi wega, anoita upombwe.”

Vadzidzi vakati kwaari, “Kana izvi zviri zvakadaro pakati pemurume nemukadzi, zvakanaka kusaroora.”

Jesu akapindura, “Hakuna mwanthu wose anogamuchira shoko hili, asi vaya vega vega vakazvigamuchira. Vamwe vakazvarwa vakaita makastrati; vamwe vakaitwa vakaita makastrati nevanhu; vamwe vakazvikana roora nekuda kweushe waMwari. Anogamuchira izvi anogamuchire.”

Shoko la Mwari.

Unenge uripo ku mabiko akawanda, sezvandakaita. Na pamabiko ayo, vanhu vanoteka zvipikirwa. Muroora anoti, “Ini, Joe, ndinokutora iwe, Mary, kuve mukadzi wangu, ndinokuipikirira pamberi paMwari nezvevaona, kuve murume wako werudo nawe wakavimbika—muzhinji namuzhinji, mujoi nasoronyika, muurwere munorwere,—se nguva yakapfuura ku ngariro.”

Nehoshamwari, kana nhamba dziri pedyo nezvokwadi, Joe naMary vangasarudza kuparadzana, pashure pemakore mashanu, manomwe, gumi, gumi nemashanu, makumi maviri, kana kupfuura. Vachatoudza shamwari zavo kuti vakaroora vadiki kwazvo. Vachatoudza mutongi kuti vaine kusawirirana kunge kusingagoni kugadziriswa. Vachatsanangurira mwanakomana wavo kuti isiri chake, asi Amai naBaba havagoni kupfana pamwe chete, uye zvichava nani kana Baba achifamba oenda. Uye imwe mhuri inodzungaira pamusana wemugumo wekurambana.

Makumi mana nemashanu kusvika makumi mashanu muzana yezviroorwa zvose zvinopera mukurambana. Asi sezvamunoziva vazhinji, kurambana hakuperi chinhu. Kutaura nyatova, kunowanzogadzira matatambudziko—emari, emanzwiro, emweya, evanhu, kunyange emuviri.

Vamwe venyu vanofunga kuti hazigoni kuitika kwamuri. Vakawanda venyu vari vasina vako vanofunga, “Oo, handimbotarisira kurambana.” Ivo venyu vakaroora uye vakaroora kwenguva refu vanofunga kuti uri kupfuura dambudziko rakadaro. Asi ini ndinoda kuti muzive mangwanzi: hapana imwe yeuroorwa uri munzvimbo ino yakachengeteka kubva kurambana. Kana uri wakaroora, asi nekuda kwenyasha zaMwari, waizorambana nhasi.

Uye kana wakamborambana, ndinoda kukubvunza mangwanzi—usatize kubva kunyaya ino. Usarete tsitsi kana kunyadziswa kukukundikisa. Zvakakosha kuti titaure pamusoro pazvo. Tine vechidiki vazhinji chechedu muchechi, vazhinji vevana, vasina vako, nawo vakaroora. Iyi inofanira kuva nyaya yatinogona dzisana nayo pachena pasina kutya.

Kunyange kana chitadzo chako chikapa ko kurambana kwako, rega ndikuyeuchidze zvatisinaimba kare nhasi:

Nyasha dzakakura, shamwari—nyasha dzakakura kupfuura kurambana kwako.

Ndinoda kuita zvetatu mangwanzi. Tiri mu nhevedzi yesororwa muzhizha inonzi Mhinduro Dzakatendeka Kwemibvunzo Yakatendeka, na mumwe munhu akatumira mubvunzo uyu mwedzi mishoma yapfuura: Mwari anoti nei pamusoro pekurambana?

So tichaatanga nazvo. Uye ndinoda kuita zvinhu zvitatu:

1. Dhizaini yaMwari yeuchato. 2. Kubvuma kwaMwari kwekurambana. 3. Mashoko mashoma ekushandisa.

Ngatipindemo.

1. Dhizaini yaMwari yeuchato

Chitsauko ichi chamanzwiwa chiverengwa ndechimwe chezvinhu zvinokosha muBhaibheri rose apo kudzidziswa kwaShe pamuchato, kurambana, nekuroora zviri kutaurwa. Zvakakosha zvikuru.

Mamiriro acho ari mu verse 3. Tarisai mabhaibheri enyu. Inoti vaFarise vakauya kumuedza Jesu. Vaida kumubata—vaida kumusundira kona, vaida kumusita kutaura zvimwe nezveMutemo waMose voita kuti aonekwe sebhasha pamberi pevanhu. Saka vakamubvunza, “Zvanziwa here kuti murume arambane nawefi wake chero chero chikonzero?”

Vaiva nezvikoro zviviri zvezvifungo mumazuva aJesu—chikoro chakachengeta na chikoro chakavhurika. Sezvinoita nhasi, muona vanhu vakachengeta nevavhurika vachiungana kumatambo ehurumende kubvunza mibvunzo yakagadzirwa kuita kuti mumwe wevapiki aonekwe sebhasha voita kuti vavote. Saizvozvo, vaFarise vakaungana pamberi paJesu nokuti vaiziva kuti pane zvakarurama nezvakarambwa pamusoro pemurambano.

Mubvunzo wavo wakavhiringika nezvechitsauko chekare cheTestamende—Deuteronomy 24. Chirevo chakakosha muchitsauko ichocho ndi “chimwe chinhu chisina kunaka.” Chaizvo, muHebraiki, zvinoreva “chinhu chisina chifukidziro” kana “chinhu chisina kuchena.” Zvakaoma kwatiri nhasi kuziva zvakanaka zvirevo zaMose. Chitsauko chimwe chete chirevo chacho chikataurwa nezve... tsvina laumunhu muchikambi. Chinhu chisina kuchena.

Chikoro chakachengeta, chichitevera Rabbi Shammai, chaiti “chimwe chinhu chisina kunaka” chinofanira kuva chivi chepabonde—kuchambadzira kana kuda murume weumwe. Chikoro chakavhurika, chichitevera Rabbi Hillel, chaiti chinogona kuva chero chinhu chisina kufadza murume. Kana wefi wake akapisa nyama yenguruve, anogona kumurambana. Kana akawedzera uremu, anogona kumurambana.

VaFarise vakauya kwaJesu voti, “Saka Jesu, Hillel anoreva zvakanaka here? Anogona here murume kurambana nawefi wake nokuda kwenyama yenguruve— chero chero chikonzero?”

Uye Jesu akaramba kusarudza rutivi. Pane badala, Akavatora vachidzokera kuGenesis 1 na2.

“Hakuna here kuverenga,” Anodaro, “kuti mwanziriko Muvumbi akavagadzira murume na mukadzi… na vaviri vachava nyama imwe? Naizvozvo, izvo Mwari vakabatanidza, regai munhu akazviparadzanisa.”

Jesu ari kureva ndechei?

Anodaro kuti roora niubatanidzwa wenyama imwe, wemurume mumwe na mukadzi mumwe—ubatanidzwa usingaparadziki, wemazuva ose, usiopambadzwa chete nerufu. Ndiyo dhizaini yaMwari.

Cherechedza mashoko mamwe:

Verse 6: roora niubatanidzwa—ubatanidzwa wavanhu vaviri naMwari.

Verse 5: roora ni kusiya na kubatanidzwa. Murume na mukadzi vasiya vabereki wavo, vaita mapledge pamberi paMwari na vam свидетели, voupinda muubatanidzwa mutsva unovabatanidza pamwe chete seglue. Kwaivapo vaviri kare, zvino vave mumwe.

Zvino, ndinoziva izvo zvakaoma. Zakaoma isu kufunga nezvazvo. Zakaoma zvishoma kuTriniti. TinozvaMwari mumwe—mumwe, Mwari mumwe—asi mune vanhu vatatu. Vanhu vatatu vasiyana muMwari, asi vachiri mumwe. Roora ni zvakawo: vaviri vachiva mumwe.

Kana funga Velcro. NiVelcro yakakosha inoshandiswa muindasitiri, kana yobatanidzwa pamwe, yakaoma kupambadzanisa. Ndiyo roora. Muubatanidzwa weroora, Mwari “anosemura,” ungadaro, murume na mukadzi pamwe chete nenzira iyo, pasina kurasikirwa nawo unhu hwavo, vachiri kubva kwenguva yeroora nyama imwe, mumuntu mumwe.

Romans 7:2 inoti mwanasikana akaroorwa akasungwa kudzamupusu. Pfungwa imwe chete—inobatanidza, kunamatira, muviri mmooro wepfungwa. Izvi zvinoreva ivo vane uswedzi munzira dzese. Vanoita zvekufambana. Vanozvita pamusoro pezvese. Havachengeti zvakavanzika. Vanoita saranzano pamwe. Vatevedzana vachitambura. Vatevedzana vakubudirira. Vatevedzana vakundikana. Vakar naked uye vasina kutya pamwe—kwete fizi chete, asi pamoyo, mupfungwa, mweya. Ivo, nemazwi evumwe, shamwari dzepedyo dzeumwe neumwe. Shamwari dzepedyo dzeumwe neumwe.

Ndiyo sababu iyo Mwari akasika ndoaroorana pakutanga: kusangana nezvido zvakasimba zveumunhu kuhesekana. Izvo hazvirevi munhu wese akadanwa kuoroora, asi vanhu vazhinji vanowana shamwari yepedyo mukati mwenorooro.

Kudivosa, zvanzi, kunopambana nechinangwa chaMwari. Kunoparadzanisa vanhu vaitarisirwa kugara pamwe kwehayi. Kudivosa kunogona kutaurwa, ndiko kuparadzanisa—kweka munhu neumwe. Kubvarura kunorwadza kwezvinyama Mwari akagadzira kugara pamwe.

Some of you know that about a year and a half ago, I had an ACDF—an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. I had a herniated disc between C6 and C7 in my neck. They go through the throat—sorry to gross you out—remove the herniated disc, insert a piece of cadaver bone to fuse the vertebrae, and then attach a metal plate to hold everything together. Now imagine someone taking that metal plate and ripping it out of my throat. Unthinkable. Painful. Awful. That’s what divorce is like—a ripping apart of what God has fused together.

Iye zvino, ungafunga kuti nekuda kwekutaura kwakasimba kwaJesu, ndiko kupera mubvunzo. Kamwe kauriro, hapana nzira yokubuda nayo. Kudivosa hakusi kwaibvumwa.

Zvakaipa.

Nekuda kwekuti Jesu, muMathew 19, anoti pane nguva kudivosa kunobvumwa.

Zvandichinzi kuita munenge maminitsi mashoma ndiri kuda kukuratidza kuti Jesu haarayiri kucheka roora, asi haanawo kutoikondamisa. Haana kutoikurudzira, asi anoikubvuma. Pane musiyano wakakura.

Tarirai zvishoma 7, 8, na 9. VaFarise vakabvunza, “Ipapo kwaive naani Moses akaraira murume kupa mudzimai wake gwaro lakucheka roora akamusiya?” Jesu akapindura, “Moses akakubvumirai kuchekawo madzimai enyu nokuti mwoyo wenyu waiva wakakasharara. Asi kwaive kusina hakuva akadaro kubva pakutanga. Ndiri kukuudza kuti ani naani anocheka mudzimai wake, kunze kwekuipa kwawo, akaroora mudzimai weumwe murume anoita chiito chorutsa.”

Cherechedzai VaFarise vakanga vakanganisa. Vakati Moses akaraira kucheka roora. Asi haana kutoita akadaro. Deuteronomy 24 yaiva tenzi remitemo. Yaifungidzira kucheka roora kungaitika ikati, “Hezvino zvokuita kana zvikaitika.” Moses haana kutoita shanduko yaicheka roora; aiva ichironga. NaJesu akavagadzira: Moses akakubvumira kucheka roora.

Vamwe venyu vangashamiswa kuziva kuti pane mienzaniso muBhaibheri apo Mwari pachake anobvumisa kucheka roora. MuEzra 9–10, Mwari anoraira vaIsraeri kuchekawo madzimai avo ekunze. MuMateo 1, Josefa—anonzi “murumeakarurama”—aiva kufunga kucheka Mary zvinyarara. Na muTestamende Rekare, Mwari pachake “ano cheka roora” Israeli nekuda kwake kuita miito yakaipa (Hosea 2, Jeremiah 3, na vamwe).

Imaginai chidimbu chechina chakanaka—chinodhura, chakakosheswa, chakaitirwa kuti chisungirwe na kukudzwa. Kuti uti hachifaniri kutyoka hazvirevi kuti hachigoni kutyoka. Na kwaizvozvo, nepo roora rakaitirwa kuchengetwa na kupangwa, pane mamiriro apo chisungo chakaita roora chinogona kutyoka.

Ungabvunza, “Kana chisungo chakaita roora chinogona kutyoka?”

Hezvino mhinduro: kunze kwekufa kwemumwe wevaroorwa—na handisi kurudzira ani naani kuedza kuita hacho—pane njia mbiri chisungo chakaita roora chinogona kutyoka.

Tatugare pamusoro wekutanga: kurotswa kwemurume nemukadzi. Ndiyo izwi rinowanikwa muvese 9: “Munhu anorambana nemukadzi wake, kunze kwe kurotswa kwemurume nemukadzi, akaroora mukadzi wega wega anozviita murume akapfambi.”

Verse iyi yakakurukurwa kwemazana emakore. Regai ndikuitadzisa nyore.

Mashoko maviri echiGiriki muvese 9 unofanira kunzwisisa.

Izwi rokuti “kurotswa kwemurume nemukadzi” rinoturikira izwi rechiGiriki porneia—kibva chezwi letu pornography. Iri ndiro izwi rechiGiriki rakajairika kudarika rirungo revanhukadzi. Rinofukidza zvinhu zvose zvinorambidzwa, sekuita zvinhu zvemunhu asina wake, kurotswa, kuita zvinhu zvemhuka, kuita zvinhu nevanhukadzi vaviri, kuita zvinhu nevanhu vemhando imwe, polygamy,—chero nzira yokuratidzira rirungo kunze kweukama hwemurume nemukadzi.

Porneia inoshandiswawo muchifananidzo muBible kudarika kurotswa kwaIsraeri—kurotswa kwake kuna Jehova. Ndiyo ndiyo iwayo NIV inoshandisa izwi lakafara kurotswa kwemurume nemukadzi. ESV iri pachena uye inoshandisa rirungo revanhukadzi.

Saka regai tikudze seizvi: porneia iri chero kitoro—zvikuruse zvepabonde—zvinoita kuti ukama hwemurume nemukadzi hudambuke.

Izwi rechiGiriki rechipiri muvese 9 iri moicheia—izwi rakamanikana rinoreva kurotswa, kuita zvinhu nemunhu akaroora nemunhu asina wake.

Saka Jesu ari kutaura muchiitiko ichi kuti murume kana mukadzi kana akaita zvinhu zvakadaro—zvinhu zvinoita ukama hwemurume nemukadzi kuzvidambuka—mukadzi anorambwa anogona kutumira zvinyorwa zvokurambana. Iri ndiro lirungo revanhukadzi rinotendwa, kunyange zvinhu zvakadaro zvikatendwa. Unonzwisisa here? Kurambana chete kunotendwa, kunyange zvinhu zvakadaro zvikatendwa.

Sasa, murume kana mukadzi uyu haafaniri kurambana. Kurambana hakuna kururwa; kunobvumwa. Nawo kana kurambana kukaitika nekuda kwezvinorambidzwa zvemunhu mune vaviri, munhu asina mhosva anogona, Jesu anoti, kuroora—kukuitira ukama hwake hwadambuka. Kana chisizvo chevese 9 chaitwa, munhu anorambwa anogona kuroora.

Iye zvino, mibvunzo yese yevanhu inogona kumuka panguva ino. Semuenzaniso:

Ko munhu anogona kurambana nomunamato wake ane addictions—pornography, kubhejera, chimwe chinhu chakadai?

Uko kana munamato wako akapanga kudanana kwepfungwa?

Kana porneia iri izwi rakapfava rinogona kushandiswa kune dzimwe nzira dze kutendeka, ko ringashanduka kuzvinhu zvakadai?

Ino ndiyo mhinduro yangu: pamaybe… uye pamaybe kwete.

Titvume, shamwari, kuti mwoyo womunhu unonyengera kupfuura zvinhu zvose. Tine nyota dzakaipa, uye chivi chinotitambudisa kuedza kururamisia chido chedu chekurambana. Saka hatifaniri kuita izvozvo. Hatifaniri kuwedzera urongwa lwezvivi zvinokodzera pasi pekushandiswa kwakapfava kana kufananidzira kwe porneia.

Asi panguva imwe chete, shamwari dzedu muPCA, pashure pekudzidza kwakadzama, vakabudisa gwaro lavo richiti:

Kana munhu akapanga kupindwa muzvinhu zvimwe—addictions, tsika, kuita pamaitiro akaipa—zvinhu izvozvo zvichibva zvava chinotsiva kut履行 kwemurume wekuita zvake, ipapo vanogona kunzwisiswa kupwanya urongwa lwe nyama imwe.

Mhkumu, vanoti, inofanira kuorora ne session—vapresbytera vedu—inmashandisirwo awo emitemo yemibvunzo. Mtemo unotungamira unofanira kuva kana chivi chikatyora urongwa lwe nyama imwe.

Zvakanaka, titambe ipapo. Ndakati urongwa lwechato unogona kutyorwa nzira mbiri. Nzira imwe i porneia—Mathewu 19:9 naMathewu 5:32. Nzira yechi mbiri iri 1 Wakorinte 7.

Saka tendai neni kubva Mathewu 19 kuenda 1 Wakorinte 7. Wakorinte wekutanga igwaro rinyorwa naApostora Pauro. Tarisai zvimak 1–9. Muzimak izvozvo, Pauro anodzokorora Genesis 1 na2 pamusoro pechipo chechato naintimacy ye urongwa lwe nyama imwe.

Ipapo mu zvimak 10–16, Pauro anotaura kwamapoka maviri.

1. Vakristu Vaviri Vakaroora Vechimwe (vv. 10–11)

Zvimak 10–11 zvinangidzira varume na vamai vakaroora vakristu:

“Kuroorwa ndinopa murairo uyu (ndisiri ini, asi Ishe): Mukadzi haafaniri kutengwa akaparadzana nemurume wake…”

Koko rekuti aparadzana kungoti izwi rimwe chete rinoreva kurambana.

Paulo anoti kana akaparadzana, anofanira kuramba asaroora kana kuti adzoke kwaurume wake. Murume haafaniri kurambana nemukadzi wake.

Cherechedza Paulo haadzokorori chisizvo akati Jesu akapa muMathewu 19:9. Haadi kuita hivyo—inoonekwa. Asi anowedzera chimwe chinhu chitsva:

Kana kurambana kukaitika nekuda kwacho chero chikonzero kunze kwe porneia, murume na mukadzi vose vanofanira kuramba vari voga. Ndiyo denda la kurambana kwakaitwa nekuda kwesono. Kuramba voga kunoita kuti vanogona kudzokana—ndiyo yakanaka.

2. Muchato Wenhema (vv. 12–16)

Mune vese 12–16, Paulo anotaura pamuchato umo mune murume mmoe ari Kristu asi mune wechipiri haasi.

Anoti kana murume asatenda achida kugara nemutendi, mutendi haafaniri kutsvaka kurambana nekuda kwe kuti haana kutenda. Chaizvozvo, Paulo anoti Mwari anogona kushandisa murume anotenda kuunza henyu dzechibvumano muimba yavo— uye zvimwe kunyange kuponeswa.

Asi tarisai vese 15:

“Kana asatenda akabva, ngaaende. Murume kana mukadzi anotenda haabati mune dzimwe mamiriro. Mwari atidakira kutera mu rugare.”

Paulo ari kutidzidzisa kana murume wako asatenda akakusiya, haubati kuenderera muchato uyo. Unogona kurambana. Ndiko kurambana kunoita. Uye pakureva kwako, wakasununguka kuroora, nekuti chisungo chemuchato chaputswa.

Kusiya kwemurume anotenda nemurume asatenda ndiko kuchiripii kunoita kurambana. Kurambana hakusisisi, kunyange isoni ikaitika.

Uye zvakare, kungoti kurambana kunobvumidzwa hazvirevi kuti ndiyo chinhu cha kurudyi kuita— kana chinhu chete kuita. Mwari anogona kuporesa mahusano akaipisisa. Dzimwe nguva chako chekuregerera, mweya wako wekuzvipira, kuzvipira kwako kune zvakanaka kwemunhu weumwe kunogona kumutumisa ku kuregerera.

Asi Chii Chinotendwa Se “Kusiya”?

Takafanana na porneia, mibvunzo yakawanda inomuka. Ko “kusiya” kungasanganisira zvimwe kunze kwekubva mumucheto?

Vanhu vazhinji vanofunga muEvanjeri vanoti hongu.

Zvakare, PCA bepa rinoti kusiya kunogona kuitika “ nekuda kwekumanikidza mamiriro asingabvumiki saizvozvowo nekubva pachako.”

Asi regai tichiyangwarira: hazvisi zvese zvausingafariri mu mumwe wako zvinofanira kusanganisirwa. PCA inoti zvinyorwa zvivi zvakaenzana nekusiya “hazvigone kureba.”

Dzimwe nguva Mwari anotidaidza kuti tigare muhusano hunorwadza. Petro anotiyeuchidza mu 1 Petro 2 kuti Kristu atambura nezvathu, achisiya chiratidzo. Vaya vaimhurira insults paAri, Haana kudzorera. Vaya vatambura, Haana kutyisira. Akazvipa kuna uyo anotonga zvakarurama. Dzimwe nguva ndiyo daidzo yako muwanano wakaoma.

Asi zvinhu zvaka dai sekurohwa, kutengeseka, kunwa doro kana kushandisa mizigo, kuchema, kuita uhalifu, kuvepo, kana chero maitiro anodzokorora ayo anoisa pangozi iwe kana vana vako—izvi zvirokwazvo imhando yekusiya. Uye kunyange kana mumwe wako akati ndiye Kristu, kana akaita maitiro akadaro dzokororo, pane imwe nguva ari kuita seanomwe naKristu, uye anofanira kutendwa saizvozvo.

Chinhu chakakosha pano ndicho vakuru vake chechi vanofanira kubatanidzwa.

Bhaibheri haritauri nezve mukana wega wega. Iri haritauri nezve kupindwa mu pornography. Tofanira kutora misimboti yaBhaibheri, kutizadza namunamato, kutsvaga nhungamiro yaShe, uye kuita sarudzo yakanaka kwazvo.

Pfupiso

Saka chii chatinodzidza nhasi?

– Mwari haana kutanga kurambana; Anobvumidzwa, anotolerwa, anotungamirwa.

– Kurambana kunogara kuchibva pamhaka dzechiito, asi kurambana kwacho hakusi chiito che sin.

– Kurambana kunopedzisa sungano re muchato.

– Apo mumwe we vaviri anoramba sungano nerutsa rwepabonde (porneia) kana kusiya, kurambana kunobvumwa.

– Apo kurambana kunobvumwa, kuroora kwa patsva kunobvumwawo kumunhu asina mhosva.

Ndine chokwadi kuti vazhinji venyu mune mibvunzo yakawanda. Ndinoda kutaura: ngatitaure. Zakaoma kufukidza zvose izvi mu sermon imwe chete. Kana muchida kutsvaga zvinhu izvi, kana kana uri kubatwa nazvo ikozvino, ngatitaure.

Tiri boka rinotarisira nyaya iyi. Tinotarisira venyu, uye tinoda kurima muchato mujeke wedu. Saka regai nditaure mashoko mashoma ekupedzisira – mamwe zvinhu zvekuyeuka.

Chekutanga, yeuchai zvandakati kare mangwanzi: hapana muchato umwe munzvimbo ino usina chokwadi chekurambana. Munofanira kuziva izvozvo. Munofanira kufamba nzira yemuchato wenu nenyerure, muchiziva kusagadzikana kwenu kune mhosva dzakawanda.

Asi kana muchida kuita muchato wenu sehusingapariki sezvazvinobvira, chinhu chekutanga chandichataura ndeichi: itai chokwadi kuti muri mufudzi waJesu. Itai chokwadi kuti munabva kwaKristu uye kuti wakazvipira kuchechi yakasimba, ine nhaka, inotenda Bhaibheri.

Zvichida wakonzwa nhamba dzinotaura kurambana kunowanikwa muchechi sezvakuno munyika. Izvozvo zvinoda kunatsirwa. Zvidzidzo zvakanaka zvinoratidza apo tiri kutaura nevanhu vakazvipira kwaJesu, vanotora nhaka yavo zvakakomba, vanobatanidzwa na kuzvipira kuchechi yemunharaunda, mwero wekurambana unodzika zvikuru. Pane chikonzero cheizvozvo: Mweya Mutsvene anokubvumirai – nerutenda kwaKristu, neruvombo, nawo kubatana na vana vako na vanababa – kukunda matatizo aya.

Chechipiri, kana uri kutatuwa—kana imwe zuva uchazotatuwa—teererai mazwi aya: mumwe wako anofanira kuva pasi paKristu ndiye wechipiri munyoroprioriti yako. Na kana uchida kusimbisa rudo rwako zvakanyanya, unofanira kuda kuisira mari.

Unofanira kuva nerande dzechichato. Varume nevakadzi, unofanira kubuda kunze vaviri vese. Unofanira kupedza nguva muri pamwe. Unoda miganhu yakapoteredza ukama hwako. Na unofanira kutora mukana wemari yose—konferensi yese, bhuku rese—inogona kukubatsira kuve murume kana mudzimai ari nani.

Chetatu, nguva dzose ipa Mwari mukana wokushanda neshamwari. Nguva dzose. Ndakaona mahwando akaratidzika kuva asingaradziki achitendeuka netsitsi zaMwari. Kurambana kunofanira kuva sarudzo yako yechipiri. Usati warambana, ita zvese zvaunogona. Tsvaga zvinhu zvakakubradza kusvika kunzvimbo ino. Tendeuka zvakadzama kubva kuzvivi zvawakaita. Namata vaviri vese uye kumbirai Mwari kukupai mweya wokuregerera nawo tsitsi dzokuporesa. Reregerera saIshe akakuregerera. Kumbirai shamwari zvenyu kunamata nawo kusanya nokuda kwenyu. Endai kuna mubatsiri wehunyanzvi.

Uye chimwezve: itai vapositori vabatanidzwe. Kana uri kutambudzika pamusoro pekuti uri kupi muhwando hwako, uya kutaura naimwe wevapositori. Regai vapositori vakuchengete. Kana kurambana kuchiitika—na vamwe vako vakapata rambano—zvino ndizvo zvamunofanira kuita: zororai murudo rwaKristu. Zororai murudo Rwake ndofambira mberi. Tangirayi kuvaka upenyu hwenyu Muna iye. Zvinzwai kuti tirarame mu nyika yakawaerera nguva dzimwe zvinhu hazviendi nani. Gunun'irai kudenga. Gunun'irai pasi peNyika itsva, apo zvinhu zvichaita nani.

Yeukai kare nhasi ndati Mwari akarambana Israeri. Mwari iye akazviona. Asi teererai zvake anoti muHoshea 2:

Kwawo ndinozovarodza; ndichavaendesa ku gurunyu ndotauroura zvinyoro… Ndozovatengesa kwamuri nokusingaperi; ndichavatengesa mu kururama nawo justice, murudo nawo tsitsi… Imi vanhu vangu, navo vachati, "Imi Mwari wangu.”

Iwe ndiyo nekuda ya Jesu—nekuda ya kufa kwake msalaba— kuti iwe na ini tizive kuti kurambana hakusi ndowo shoko la kupedzisira.

Kati kutikumbire pamwe:

Ishe Jesu, tikutendai kwa kutidzidzisa pamusoro pokurambana na muchato na kurotwa kwa murambwa. Tikutendai kwa kuitwa kwa muchato. Tikutendai, Baba, kuti wakasika muchato kwa mufaro na wema wa vanhu.

Ishe, tinatambu kwa mumwe mumwe pano. Tino amba kuti hatina munhu anozvikudza. Hatina munhu anayo gumbo rakanaka la kumukirana. Tose tinotadzira. Tose tinokwanisa kudonha.

Kune vanhu vari chechi yedu vakati rambuwana na kuchine maronda akavava. Kune vana vakura vari chechi yedu vasina baba kana amai, kana vari mumhuri yakapambwa.

Ishe Jesu, tikutendai kuti unokwanisa kuunganisa zvidimbu zvepuzzle zetu. Tikutendai kuti unokwanisa kupora muchato wenzi wakakuvadzwa na kuupa hwake. Tikutendai kuti unokwanisa kupora vanhu vakati rambuwana na kuvapa nyasha kubva pauri, nyasha dzakakura kupfuura matambudziko edu, kupfuura zvitadzo edu, kupfuura matetema edu.

Ishe, iwe uri murume wedu dzanhasi. Iwe uri murume wemwenga, Chechi.

Tinoomba izvi muzita raJesu. Amen.
