Ngati mukukhumba Paradiso wa pabukhu pomwe mumapeza chikhumbo cha mtima wanu ndikukhala mosangalala kuyambira pamenepo, wolemba kalatayo kwa Ayuda akhoza kungochirikiza. "Tsopano chikhulupiriro ndicho chitsimikizo cha zinthu zoyembekezeredwa" (Ahebri 11: 1).
Dziwani izi: kudalira Mulungu ndiye mtengo wovomerezeka wosavomerezeka. Umuyaya monga dziko la chiyembekezo sichinthu choyipa choganiza za moyo wamoyo. Izi mwina sizikuphatikiza mapesi amtundu wabuluu wambiri, koma kwa ine ndikadakhala kuti sipangakhale nyenyezi popanda iwo.
Pambuyo pa kufa, timamvekanso bwino. Ngakhale zili zabwino kapena zoipa zimatengera zosankha zomwe timapanga pamaliro: funani kuunika kwa chowonadi kapena kukhazikika podzinyenga nokha. Ngati chowonadi ndicholinga chathu, "tidzamuwona [Mulungu] kumaso" (1 Akorinto 13:12). Ndi St Paul yemwe amalankhula, ndipo ndi chidziwitso chomwe chimapitilira zingapo molimba mtima.
Paulo akufotokoza za mawonekedwe athu apamwamba ngati chithunzi chamtambo cha mtambo, cholephera kuwonetsera chithunzi chachikulu. Uneneri suwapatsa zinsinsi zonse. Chidziwitso chaumunthu sichokwanira. Imfa yokha ndi yomwe imawululira vumbulutso lalikulu.
Yeremiya analola kuti Mulungu azitidziwa bwino tisanabadwe. Paulo akuti Mulungu amabwezeretsa chisomo muyaya, kuyambira mchinsinsi cha Mulungu. Izi siziyenera kudabwitsa, popeza tinalengedwa m'chifaniziro cha Mulungu kuyamba, malinga ndi Genesis. Ngati magalasi athu sanaonongeke chifukwa cha zovuta zambiri, titha kuona pang'ono za ife - komanso zochulukira za Mulungu - pakali pano.
Yohane akutsimikizira izi: pomwe zomwe zidzavumbulutsidwa, "tidzakhala ofanana ndi [Mulungu], chifukwa tidzamuwona m'mene aliri" (1 Yohane 3: 2). John akuwoneka kuti akukankhira envelopu kupitirira Paulo, kuwonjezera pa "kuwona" Mulungu kukhala "Mulungu. Banja lathu lofanana ndi Mulungu lidzatenthedwa ndi kumasulidwa. Halo, ife ndife!
"Tidzasinthidwa tonse," atero Paul, tikudzipereka ku chisavundi monga chosinthira zovala (1 Akorinto 15: 51-54). Paulo akonda lingaliro ili, akumatsimikiziranso mu kusinthana kwina ndi Akorinto. Fananitsani matupi amunthu ndi makatani: monga womanga nsalu yotchinga, fanizo limabwera m'maganizo a Paul. Makatani amtunduwu ndiwambiri komanso amalemera. Nyumba yathu yakumwamba itivala bwino, kwaulere (2 Akorinto 5: 1).
Paulo akufotokozera momveka bwino m'makalata ake ndi Afilipi. M'moyo ulinkudza, tidzagawana zaulemerero wa Khristu, chifukwa Khristu amakhala zonse mwa onse (Afil. 3:21). Kodi izi zikutanthauza kuti aliyense wa ife adzatengera kunyezimira "kokwanira" (Mariko 9: 3) kosonyezedwa pakusandulika? Kusintha Halo topper ndi Guadalupe wathupi lathunthu?
Chiyembekezo chokhutitsidwa, kumveka, kumasulidwa, kusinthika. China chilichonse chomwe chikuyembekezera ife tikamwalira? Mwachangu, mungafunenso chiyani? Mlongo yemwe amaphunzitsa zaukadaulo pasukulu yanga yasekale ankakonda kunena kuti: "Ngati Mulungu adzakukondani, ndani adzakusangalatsani padziko lapansi?" Tili ndi chidaliro kuti masomphenyawa, chilichonse chomwe nkhope yakumaso kwa Mulungu chidzakwaniritsidwa.
