Chii chinoitika mushure mekufa?
"Tose tichashandurwa," akadaro Paul
Kana iwe uchishuva bhuku renyaya kudenga uko iwe kwaunowana chishuwo chemoyo wako uye kurarama unofara nekusingaperi, munyori wetsamba kuvaHebheru anogona kungoitsigira. "Zvino rutendo ivimbiso yezvinhu zvatinotarisira" (VaHebheru 11: 1).
Cherekedza: Kuvimba muna Mwari ndiwo mutengo usingatauriki wekubvumirwa. Kusingagumi senyika yetariro haisi nzira yakaipa yekufungidzira hupenyu hwapashure porufu. Izvi zvinogona kana kusasanganisira kusingaperi kugoverwa kwebhuruu chibage chinotapira, asi kwandiri denga raizove rekutanga pasina ivo.
Mushure mekufa, tinowanawo kujeka. Kunyangwe chiri chakanaka kana chakaipa zvinoenderana nesarudzo dzatinoita pamberi pemariro: tsvaga mwenje wechokwadi kana kuzvinyengera mukuzvinyengera. Kana chokwadi chiri chinangwa chedu, "tichaona [Mwari] zviso zvakatarisana" (1 VaK. 13:12). NdiSt.Paul ndiye anotaura, uye iri fungidziro iri kumberi kakawanda nechivimbo.
Pauro anotsanangura mafungire edu azvino sechiitiko chegirazi rine makore, risingakwanise kuratidza mufananidzo mukuru. Chiporofita hachimbopa zvese zvakavanzika. Ruzivo rwevanhu haruna kukwana zvachose. Rufu chete ndirwo runopa zaruriro huru.
Jeremiah akatendera Mwari kuti atizive zvakanyanya isu tisati tazvarwa. Pauro anoti Mwari vanodzorera nyasha mukusingaperi, vachititangisa muchakavanzika chamwari. Izvi hazvifanirwe kutishamisa, sezvo takagadzirwa mumufananidzo waMwari kutanga ne, maererano naGenesi. Dai magirazi edu anga asina kuvharidzirwa nehunhu hwakawandisa, isu tinogona kukwanisa kuzviona zvishoma isu pachedu - uye nezvakawanda zvaMwari - izvozvi.
Johane anosimbisa mugumo uyu: apo izvo zvichazoburitswa pakupedzisira, "tichava sa [Mwari], nekuti tichamuona sezvaari" (1 Johane 3: 2). John anoita seachasundira hamvuropu achipfuura Paul, pamwe neku "ona" Mwari kuti "ave saMwari." Mhuri yedu yakafanana naMwari ichapiswa uye kusunungurwa pakupedzisira. Halos, tiri pano!
“Tose tichashandurwa,” anodaro Pauro, apo patinozvipira mukusafa senguo inongochinja (1 VaK. 15: 51-54). Paul anoda zano iri, achisimbisazve mune kumwe kuchinjana nevaKorinde. Enzanisa miviri inofa nematende: Semuvaki wetende, dimikira rinouya nyore mupfungwa dzaPauro. Aya maketeni ane nyama akakura uye anotiremera. Imba yedu yekudenga ichatipfekedza zvirinani, mahara (2 VaK. 5: 1–10).
Pauro anonyanya kujekesa mutsamba yake nevaFiripi. Muhupenyu huchauya, tichagovana hunhu hunokudzwa hwaKristu, Kristu zvaanova zvese mune zvese (VaF. 3:21). Izvi zvinoreva here kuti mumwe nemumwe wedu achatora iyo "bleach yakazara" (Marko 9: 3) inoratidzwa pakushanduka chitarisiko? Chinjana iyo halo yekumusoro kune yakazara-muviri Guadalupe sheen?
Tariro yakazadzikiswa, kujekeswa, rusununguko, shanduko. Chero chimwe chinhu chakatimirira isu mushure mekufa? Kunyanya, chii chimwe chaunoda iwe? Sisi vakadzidzisa hunyanzvi muchikoro chesekondari vaigara vachiti, "Kana Mwari vakunetsa, ndiani munyika anokuvaraidza?" Tinogona kuvimba kuti chiratidzo chakakosha, chero chiso chisingaperi chakatarisana naMwari, chichagutsa.
