Mukuru ndiye Jehovha, uye inofanira kurumbidzwa zvikuru; uye ukuru hwake hahunganzverwi. Rudzi rumwe rucharumbidza mabasa enyu kuno rumwe, Vachadudzira zvamakaita zvine simba. Ndichataura nezvokubwinya kwoumambo bwenyu hunobwinya, Namabasa enyu anoshamisa. ( Pisarema 145:3-5 )

Pakupera kwezuva, njere dzaMwari dzinogara dzichipenya zvakanyanya. Munhu akaganhurirwa mukunzwisisa kwake uye anonzwisisa asi zvishoma zvoukuru hwaMwari, asi kana tikamirira neshiviriro ndokurangarira zvaAri kuita, kunzwisisa kwedu kunokura, uye tinoona uchenjeri hwenzira dzake. Zvakafanira, naizvozvo, kushandisa shiviriro nokuzvininipisa mukufamba kwedu naMwari asingagumi.

Patinenge tichidzidza nezvaMwari, hatizombofi takasvika patinorega kudzidza. Pane nguva dzose zvakawanda zvokudzidza—humwe uchenjeri; kudzika kwakawanda kwekunzwisisa; zvimwe zvinoshamisa. Pamberi pake, takafanana nevana vaduku, uye kana munhu asina kujaira iyi murangariro wokuzvininipisa, ivo vachafuratira chiedza Chake norudo, vachinzwa vakasununguka zvikuru murima, umo vanogona kuzvitenda vamene kuva vakuru.

Chizaruro chaBaba

Sekushanda kwakaita Mwari panyika munhoroondo yese, nzira Yake yekutanga yave yekutuma vanhu vanoda kuita zvinangwa Zvavo maererano nekuraira Kwake uye nekutungamira kweMweya Mutsvene. Kunyange Mirayiro Gumi, iyo Mwari akanyora nomunwe Wake amene, yakanyorwa mumatombo ayo Mosesi akanga aveza mugomo.^[2] Basa raMwari rinopedzwa apo Mweya Mutsvene unofamba pamusoro pevanhu kunyora, kutaura, kana kuita maererano nekuda kwavo. Nenzira iyi, chiridzwa chomunhu chinoda chinoshanda pamwe chete nehumwari, uye chichitungamirirwa neMweya Mutsvene, kuwirirana kwehumwari neuchenjeri hwake zvinochengetedzwa, kunyange zvazvo zvichiuya kuburikidza nemafungiro nemaoko evanhu zvakaderera zvikuru.

Pane chikonzero nei Mwari achisarudza vatumwa vakasiyana, uye John Scotram haasiye anosiya, uye kunyangwe shoko richipihwa kuburikidza nekudzidza kwake uye nekuedza kwake, tinoona kukwezva kweMweya Mutsvene mairi, uye tinonzwisisa kuti rinobva kumusoro. Kunyange Hama John vamene vanokatyamadzwa murutyo padzimwe nguva noukuru hukuru hwezvakazarurwa izvo Mwari akapa iri boka duku kupfurikidza naye mukati mamakore manomwe apfuura. Hapana mubvunzo mupfungwa dzedu kuti chiedza chinobva kupi. Icho chiedza choumwari chinobva kudenga, uye tinorumbidza Mwari ndokumupa mbiri nokuda kwacho, nokuti Iye oga anogona kunyora tsinhirano yakakwana yakadaro neMagwaro.

Chimwe chezvakazarurwa zvakadzama inyaya uye dingindira rechinyorwa ichi. Chinhu chakakosha zvikuru, chatakagamuchira panguva inokosha. Yakanga iri nguva iyo dingindira razvino rekudzidza raive chisimbiso chePhiladelphia, uye inotsanangura chikamu chakakosha chechisimbiso: “Ndichanyora paari zita raMwari wangu.”^[3] Nechikonzero ichi, takanga tisingadi kuigovera pachena nguva yekuisa chisimbiso isati yapera, asi takaidzidza tiri toga nemunhu mumwe nemumwe apo Mweya Mutsvene waigadzirira pfungwa dzavo kuti dzigamuchire. Vamwe vakasvika pakunzwisisa asi nekurudziro shoma, nepo vamwe vaida zvakawanda, uyezve vamwe havana kukwanisa kusvika pakunzwisisa, vachipa zvishoma kudarika kupfura murima mukupindura kuedza kwedu kwese kuvatungamirira. Hongu, ruzivo pacharwo handirwo runosunga munhu, asi Mweya Mutsvene. Kunyange zvakadaro, nokudzidza tiri toga, takakwanisa kuona zvakajeka zvikuru avo Mweya wakanga wagadzirira kuva pakati pe144,000.

Kubva pakutanga nokuwanwa kweWachi yaMwari muOrion, hushumiri uhwu hwave hune nguva. Muzvinyorwa zvedu, nguva yakanga iri dingindira rakatanhamara nguva dzose. Asi hazvina kuitika kutozosvikira Sabata, Ndira 12, 2013, panguva yeMutambo weChiedza (Hanukkah)^[4] kuti chizaruro chiri dingindira rechinyorwa chino, chakatanga kupihwa. Zvakauya vhiki imwe pashure pechimwe chiwanwa chinokosha chine chokuita nenguva: “Kukanganisa kwaMiller,” izvo zvinoreva kukanganisa kwegore rimwe chete kwakaratidza kuti Jesu aisazodzoka musi wa24 October 2015, sezvataifunga kusvikira panguva iyoyo, asi kwapera gore.

Nei Mwari aizopa chiedza chese ichi maererano nenguva? Nguva inyaya isingawanzodzidzwa mumapoka echiKristu, zvisinei neyambiro yebhaibheri pamusoro pekusaziva nezvenguva yekushanya kwako.^[5] Zvimwe nekuti zvinoshamisira kana zvine njodzi, vanhu vazhinji vanoramba kutenda kuti Baba vangangozivisa chakavanzika chenguva, zvisinei nekuti Iye anozivikanwa somuzivisi wezvakavanzika.^[6] uye akatotaura kuti haaiti chinhu asina kutanga azivisa zvakavanzika!^[7] Chakavanzika icho Mwari akazivisa, ndechekuti Mwari haasi rudo chete, sezvaanonyanyozivikanwa uye anogamuchirwa zviri nyore, asi Iyewo inguva! Haasi Iye chete anoziva nguva; He is nguva, inofananidzwa!

Izvi zvinofanira kupa chikonzero chekufungisisa, uye uchaona kuti Bhaibheri rinopupurira sei izvi! Tichaongorora zvimwe zvinorehwa nedingindira iri rinokatyamadza mune kwasara kuchinyorwa chino. Rine chokwadi chokukupa maonero matsva pamusoro pekudyidzana kwaMwari nemunhu.

Tsime reMvura Mhenyu

O JehovhaHaiwa Jehovha, tariro yaIsraeri, vose vanokurashai vachanyadziswa, uye vaya vanotsauka kubva kwandiri vachanyorwa muvhu, nokuti vakasiya Jehovha. Jehovha, tsime remvura mhenyu. ( Jeremiya 17:13 )

Mvura ndiyo inonyanya kudiwa paupenyu. Chipenyu chiri chose chinotsamira pamvura, naizvozvo kwakakodzera kuti Mwari wedu azvitsanangure amene seTsime remvura mhenyu. Ndiye Manyuko noMutsigiri woupenyu, uye upenyu ihwohwo hunopiwa pachena kuzvisikwa Zvake zvose. Nokuti rudzi rwakawa, rwakagurwa kubva paTsime nechivi, Jesu Kristu, ane Tsime rimwe chete roupenyu maari pachake, akazvipa kuti mvura youpenyu inogara ichiyerera inobva kuna Baba, igopiwe kwatiri norudzikinuro pachivi.

Asi zvino zvamakasunungurwa pachivi, mukava varanda kuna Mwari, mune chibereko chenyu chinoisa kuutsvene, uye kuguma kwazvo upenyu hwusingaperi. Nokuti mubairo wechivi rufu; asi chipo chaMwari chokungopiwa ndihwo upenyu husingaperi muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu. ( VaRoma 6:22-23 )

Hupenyu hwese hunobva kuna Mwari. Kunyange vakaipa vanorarama kubva kwaari, kunyange vasina kugamuchira chipo Nokusingaperi upenyu kubudikidza naJesu Kristu. Vachamutswa kubva kuvakafa nesimba raMwari, sezvakangoita vakarurama, asi havazorambi vari vapenyu kwenguva refu, nokuti kubatana kwomuti woupenyu, unoerera tsime remvura mhenyu, kunosimbiswa chete naJesu Kristu Ishe wedu. Hakuna mumwe munhu anogona kupa hupenyu husingaperi! Iye chete ari mumwechete naBaba ndiye anogona kupa chipo chehupenyu husingaperi.

Mvura haisiriyo yoga chinodikanwa chikuru muupenyu, zvisinei. Muchokwadi, inomiririra chimwe chinhu chakatonyanya kukosha kuvapo: nguva. Iwo maatomu chaiwo atinogadzirwa kubva paari, ari kuramba achifamba asingagoni kumira. Chikamu chega chega chechinhu chiripo chinogara chine rimwe simba rekufamba iro risingakwanisi kubvisa.^[8] Nokudaro, kuvapo pachakwo kunoreva kufamba, uye kufamba kuchinja kwechinzvimbo pamusoro nguva. Hapana chinogona kuvapo pasina kufamba, uye kufamba hakugone kuvapo pasina nguva.

Zvino wakandiratidza rwizi rwakachena rwemvura yeupenyu, yakapenya sekristaro, ichibuda pachigaro cheushe chaMwari necheGwayana. Pakati penzira yaro, nekumativi maviri erwizi, paiva nemuti weupenyu, waibereka zvibereko zvamarudzi gumi nembiri, uchiita zvibereko zvawo mwedzi umwe neumwe; nemashizha emuti aiva ekuporesa ndudzi. ( Zvakazarurwa 22:1-2 )

Kufanana nemvura yomurwizi rwoupenyu, nguva inoyerera ichienda kurutivi rumwe bedzi, uye sezvo mvura inovamba kuchigaro choumambo chaMwari, ndizvo zvinoitawo nguva. Muti weupenyu unodyiswa nerwizi irworwo, sezvo Zvisikwa zvese zvinoenderana nenguva, uye hupenyu hwese hunotsamira paMweya waMwari. Zvisikwa zvaMwari hazvina kunaka chete, asi dzidziso. Kune chinangwa nechirevo kune zvese zvinoitwa naMwari. Sei Mwari akasarudza kushandisa a muti zveupenyu? Pane chirevo chakadzama, uye isu takatotanga kuswedera pedyo nekuinzwisisa! Muti weupenyu, kunyangwe uine zvakawanda zvekufananidzira sezvakaratidzwa muna Zvakazarurwa, waive muti chaiwo wakasimwa mubindu reEdheni, umo Mwari vakataurirana naAdamu naEvha vasati vatadza. In Chakavanzika chaEzekieri, takapa mufananidziro worwizi rwaiyerera ruchibva muEdheni ndokuita mapoka mana. Ipapo panotsanangurwa kuti dzinomirira sei nhambo ina dzenguva umo mvura mhenyu inobva kuMudzimu waMwari yakapiwa kumapoka mana akasiana-siana avanhu avo Mwari akanga asarudza, kuti avaparadzire munyika yose.

Nenzwisiso yokuti Mwari inguva, nzira inozarurwa kuti inzwisise zvinofananidzira muti norwizi rwoupenyu sezvazvinoratidzirwa muna Zvakazarurwa. Chiitiko chinotanga nerwizi rwakaisvonaka rwehupenyu huchibva pachigaro cheumambo.

Zvinotiyeuchidza nezverwizi rwakaonekwa nemuprofita Ezekieri ruchiyerera kubva patemberi pane zvaakaratidzwa. Muchiono chaEzekieri, mamwe mashoko anotaurwa anoratidza chimwe chinhu nezvorwizi urwu. Ngatitangei titarise tsananguro yake yekushanda kwayo:

Zvino zvipenyu zvose zvinopfakanyika pose panosvika nzizi idzi mbiri, zvichararama; hove zhinji kwazvo, nekuti mvura iyi ichasvikako, nekuti ichaporeswa; uye zvose panosvika rwizi zvichararama. ( Ezekieri 47:9 )

Kutanga, tinoona kuti rwizi rwizi rwoupenyu, nokuti chose charunobata chinoporeswa uye chinorarama, kufanana nemhomho yavanhu vakauya kuna Jesu mumakore ose apfuura. Mukuwedzera, kunyanguvezvo, Ezekieri anoratidzwa rumwe rutivi rwourwu rwizi rwoupenyu. Anobudiswa makubhiti 1000 kunze, ipapo 2000, ipapo 3000, uye pakupedzisira makubhiti 4000 1000 kunze, uye panzvimbo imwe neimwe, mvura yorwizi inodzika zvikuru. Inokwira kubva muzviziso zvemakumbo ake nemakubhiti 4000, kusvika pamabvi ake, ipapo tsvina yake, kutozosvikira pamakubhiti XNUMX, yakanyanyisa kuyambuka netsoka, asi aizotofanira kushambira achiyambuka.^[9] Chinhambwe kubva patemberi chinomiririra nguva yakapfuura kubva pachivi chekutanga kusvika rwizi runoporesa rwasvika pakuzara, apo Jesu aizogara panyika nekupa hupenyu hwake kuti nyika iporeswe. Takatsanangura mukati Mumumvuri Wenguva, zvazvaive zvechokwadi, makore 4000 chaiwo kubva pachivi chekutanga kusvika pakufa kweMuponesi. (Ezekieri akararama uye akafa mumireniyamu yechina mushure meKupunzika, ndicho chikonzero aisakwanisa kuyambuka nemakubhiti 4000, kutanga kwemireniyamu yechishanu.)

Nokudaro, tinoona kuti rwizi rwoupenyu runomirira upenyu kupfurikidza neropa raJesu, iro raiyerera richibva pazvibayiro zvokutanga zvakapfekedza Adhama naEvha kusvikira basa rechibairo raguma nechipo cheropa Rake chairoiro. Asi nekuwedzera, inomiririra kufamba kwenguva, achitakura chibayiro chake kumarudzi ose uye achifukidza zvivi zvizhinji!

Kuva munhu kwaJesu ari munhu kunoratidza kuti Anosangana nenguva sezvataizoita. Ruzivo rwake rweramangwana runobva kuna Baba Vake. NdiBaba chete, avo Jesu ari sea “gwayana rakabayiwa kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika. "^[10] Tichakurukura urwu rutivi gare gare, asi tinogona kuona kuti rwizi rwoupenyu runomirira Baba.

Izvo zvakasikwa muchidimbu

Tichidzokera kumufananidzo wemuti weupenyu, mushure mekunge chiitiko chavhurwa nemufananidzo waBaba vari murwizi rwehupenyu runoyerera kubva pachigaro, muti wacho pachawo unosvika pakuonekwa:

Pakati penzira yaro, nekumativi maviri erwizi, paiva nemuti weupenyu, waibereka zvibereko zvamarudzi gumi nembiri, uchiita zvibereko zvawo mwedzi umwe neumwe; nemashizha emuti aiva ekuporesa ndudzi. ( Zvakazarurwa 22:2 )

Nemidzi yawo murwizi rweNguva, hunde mbiri dzinokura dzichikwira kumusoro. Izvi zvinomiririra shanduko, uye zvinotiyeuchidza nezvemashoko aJesu kune vaFarisi vanozvikudza pamusoro pehukama hwake naBaba:

Jesu akati kwavari: Dai Mwari aiva Baba venyu, maindida; Ndakabuda ndikabva kuna Mwari; uye handina kuzviuyira, asi ndiye wakandituma. ( Johani 8:42 )

Shoko rechiGiriki rinoshandurwa kuti “kubuda” rinoreva “kubudisa” kana kuti kubuda. Mumutsara mumwe chete iwoyo, Jesu anotaurawo nezvokutumwa kupasi, asi ikoku kwakasiana ne“kubuda” kuna Mwari! Anotaura nezvenguva apo midzi Yake yakakura kubva muNguva. Tinokurukura pfungwa iyi zvakadzama muAppendikisi C ye Kufona Kwedu Kwepamusoro.

Mumufananidzo wemuti weupenyu, patinosimudza maziso edu kubva murwizi rwunoyerera, tinoona tsananguro yehuMwari. Baba ndivo rwizi rwenguva noupenyu, mvura inotorwa ichikwidzwa pahunde dzemuti, iyo inomirira Mwanakomana noMweya Mutsvene.

Mwari anopa zviratidzo izvi kuti atidzidzise pamusoro pezvinhu izvi, saka hazvina basa kuti tiite nharo nezvazvo. Musiki akatotaura, uye mhinduro Yake ndeyekupedzisira.

Sezvatinoramba tichitevera muti wacho tichikwira kumusoro, tinoona zvitatu izvi (mvura nemahunde maviri anoukwevera kumusoro) zvichibatana zvisina musono kuva mumwe, nokuti muti mumwe. Izvi zvinomiririra kubatana Kwavo kwechinangwa. Pane chimwe chinhu chavakaronga pamwe chete kuita, uye kana tichida kuziva kuti chii, tinongoramba tichitevera muti wacho kumusoro.

Pakutanga Shoko rakanga riripo, uye Shoko rakanga riri kuna Mwari, uye Shoko rakanga riri Mwari. Iye uyu wakange ana Mwari pakutanga. Zvinhu zvose zvakaitwa naye; kunze kwake hakuna kuitwa chinhu chimwe chakaitwa. Maari maiva noupenyu; uye upenyu hwaiva chiedza chevanhu. ( Johani 1:1-4 )

( Mapisarema 104:24-25,30, XNUMX )

Munguva pfupi yapfuura zvakaonekwa kuti chadenga chinooneka chine makwara enzou anopfuura bhiriyoni—kakapetwa kagumi kupfuura zvaimbozivikanwa kare!^[12] Aya ndiwo “matavi” akasiyana-siyana echisiko chose, anomirirwa namatavi omuti woupenyu.

Nhamba dzaMwari

Uye nemufananidzo uyu, tinonzwisisa sei nhamba yechinomwe inoshandiswa kumiririra kukwana. Kune zvikamu zvinomwe zvakakosha pamuti wakakwana weupenyu uye nekudaro, chadenga. Mitezo mitatu youmwari inomiririrwa nemvura (1) uye hunde mbiri (2, 3), uye Zano Ravo pamwe chete rokusika zvinhu zvose, nokubatanidzwa kwehunde (4). Zvadaro zvinhu zvose zvakasikwa—nemapoka enyeredzi, nyeredzi imwe neimwe, uye mapuraneti anogarwa—zvinomiririrwa nemapazi (5), mashizha (6), uye michero (7).

Zvinonakidza kuziva kuti chikamu chechina chemuti idare rehumwari, apo huMwari hwakasarudza kusika. Ndiyo poindi apo Musiki anosangana nechisikwa. Kana iwe ukataura nezvehumwari zvakasiyana neKusikwa, saka pane zvinhu zvitatu zvakakosha zvemuti. Saka, Mwari ari pachigaro chake anomiririrwa nechiverengo chetatu.

Tichitarisa hukama hwaMwari nezvisikwa zvake, tinosanganisira chikamu chechina: Mazano avo pamwechete. Kubatana kwavo kwechinangwa kwaisangova kugadzira, asi neNguva mukanzuru, yaisanganisira zvese zvaizoitika semugumisiro. Muchirairo ichocho, Mwari akarondedzera chibayiro chaizotorwa neKusika kubva muRudo. Chinangwa chekusika vanhu vakangwara vane rusununguko rwokusarudza, chaireva kugamuchirwa kwemigumisiro, kana munhu asarudza nzira yake. Nokudaro rakanga riri donzo rokuvaka tembere, umo miuyo yechivi yaigona kubatwa. Muchirairo ichocho, chinomiririrwa nemahunde akabatanidzwa emuti weupenyu, chirongwa cheruponeso chakaiswa.

( Zekaria 6:12-13 )

Ndeipi nhamba, zvino, yaizomiririra iyoyo kubatana? Inofanira kuva nhamba yechinomwe, nokuti zvikamu zvinomwe zvose zvinofanira kuiswa mumuti wakakwana. Nomwe inomirira chisiko chose chose; zvose Mwari neKusika (3+4), asi asina chivi.

Tichitarisa zvakananga pachikamu ichocho chepakati: kubatana kwehuMwari muzano rerugare, tinoona muchinjikwa waKristu. Hazvishamisi kuti tinofanira kuwana muchinjikwa zvakare pakati. Zvamazvirokwazvo, sezvinomirirwa pano, muchinjikwa uri pakati pechisiko chapose pose. Kuita kwaMwari mukudzoreredza munhu kubva kuchivi.

Saka, kuwanda kwehumwari (3) pamusoro pekusikwa (4) kunomiririra sungano yaMwari nemunhu kuti amudzosere kubva kuchivi.

Chisimbiso cheRudo Rwehama

Nezvakazarurwa zvokuti Mwari ndiye nguva, takatanga kuona ndima dzeBhaibheri dzakasiyana-siyana nenzira itsva. Imwe yainyanya yaive chisimbiso chePhiladelphia. Mutsamba yaJesu kukereke iyi, akati,

Unokunda ndichamuita mbiru mutembere yaMwari wangu, uye haangazobudizve: uye ndichanyora pamusoro pake. zita raMwari wangu, uye zita reguta raMwari wangu, rinova Jerusarema idzva, rinoburuka richibva kudenga kuna Mwari wangu; uye ndichanyora pamusoro pake zita rangu idzva. (Zvakazarurwa 3: 12)

Muchikamu chino, zvinhu zvitatu zvakanyorwa pa (pahuma) dzevaFiradelfia vanokunda, izvo zvinoumba chisimbiso. Kutanga, tinonzwisisa kuti “zita” rinoreva hunhu kana hunhu hwemunhu ane zita. Saka parinoti “zita raMwari wangu,” haringorevi tetragrammaton chete^[15] kana chimwe chinhu chakafanana, asi kuhunhu kana hunhu hwaMwari. Kwakajeka ipapo, kwakavakirwa paichi chizaruro, kuti zita raMwari mumashoko akapoteredza eOrion ndiro Nguva. Tichaona kwechinguvana izvo izvi zvinotungamira, asi kutanga, ngatitarisei mamwe mativi echisimbiso.

Hama John vakatotaura izvi kwenguva yakareba munyaya yavo yokupedzisira, Nguva yeChokwadi, kwaakatsanangura zvimwe zvinhu zveGuta Dzvene, achisimbisa unhu hwaro sechinhu chinofamba chipenyu chokutakura vanhu kubva kune imwe nyika kuenda kune imwe. Zita idzva raJesu rinofanira kujeka kumunhu wose anoziva nezvehwaro hweshoko reOrion! Alnitak inyeredzi yeOrion inomiririra Jesu, uye naizvozvo ndiro zita rinotsanangura basa Rake idzva sepakati peOrion Clock.

Chisimbiso cheFiladelphia (zvinoreva kuti “rudo rwehama”), zvese nezveNguva. Ndezvekuchengeta korona yenguva^[16] nokuramba uchirarama mukukunda kusvikira Jesu adzoka. Panguva iyoyo, apo Baba vaizoburuka naAlnitak neGuta Dzvene, yakatsanangurwa neOrion Clock. Isu takanzwisisa nguva, uye takatonyora zuva pahuma yedu Facebook profile mifananidzo sechiratidzo chekutenda kwedu, kunzwisisa kuti chisimbiso chine chekuita nenguva yakatarwa: nguva yekudzoka kwaJesu.

Pasinei nezvinotaurwa nevaseki, zvirokwazvo yaive nguva yaAizodzoka. Wachi hadzina kukanganisa. Pane umboo hwakawandisa hunotsigira ururami hwazvo. Asi mumwe haana kuiswa chisimbiso zvechokwadi neMweya Mutsvene muchechi yerudo rwehama kunze kwekunge akaedzwa uye zvinoratidzwa kuti ivo, chokwadi, vanoratidza rudo rwekuzvipira kuhama dzavo-uye ne "hama," ndinoreva vanhu vose, kwete shamwari dzedu nemhuri chete! Uye chokwadi kuuchenjeri hwaMwari, Akaronga muedzo muchisimbiso pachacho, sezvauchaona.

Taiziva nguva yacho uye takanga tichifara zvikuru netarisiro yokuona tariro yakakomborerwa, asi pakanga pane rusuruvaro rwakaderedza mufaro wedu wokuti Jesu akanga achiuya. Paiva nevashoma vakatenda! Ini pachangu, pandaizofunga nezvevanhu vairatidzika sevane mwoyo wakatendeseka uye unozvininipisa, vakanga vakamirira netarisiro kubvutwa, ndaishamisika kuti nei vaifanira kuodzwa mwoyo, nepo ini ndichigamuchirwa, nokuti ndakanga ndisiri nani kupfuura ivo!

Zvakadaro, handina kukwanisa kunzvenga humbowo hwekuti shoko iri rakanga riri izwi rimwechete revhangeri rakachena, uye hapana aigona kurarama kusvika kumagumo kunze kwaro, nokuti ndiro roga rine ruzivo rwakakosha runodiwa kuti chizvarwa chekupedzisira chimire mushure mekunge Jesu amira kureverera kwake kuti auye. Takanzwisisa chiratidzo chokuti Mwari akanga atipa sungano isingaperi, seizvo Hama Johane vachatsanangura munyaya inotevera yeiyi nhevedzano, uye zvose zvakanga zvazadzikwa, kunyange zvazvo zvisina kudaro nenzira yataitarisira. Kunyange zvazvo aiva okufananidzira, zvisinei, kuzadzika kwacho kwakanga kwakanyanyojeka zvokusagona kukanganisa.

Muedzo wakauya apo takanzwisisa kushanda kwenhau yebasa raJakobho kuna Rabhani nokuda kwevanasikana vake vaviri, Reya naRakeri. Hama Robert vachagoverana zvakawanda pamusoro pefundo yacho munyaya yavo, asi kunokwana kutaura pano kuti takaziva kuti taizoda kubatira mamwe “makore manomwe” pasi pano, tichipa nguva nokuda kwaavo taikarira kuuya mukati mamakore manomwe okutanga, asi vasina kuuya! Tingada here kuita izvozvo pamwero mukuru wetariro yedu nokukarira kudzoka kwaKristu, uko kwaizova mukati memazuva mashomanene?

Takapiwa chisarudzo: Taizosarudza kugutsa chishuvo chedu timene chakasimba chokuitwa nemiviri yedu inorwara nenyika ino ine rima zvino, tichisiya vagari vayo vasina tariro kwe“makore manomwe” emadambudziko nemamiriro ezvinhu akaipa, tichigutswa nevashomanana vaitenda, vatakanga takudziridza chisungo chokubatana navo here? Kana kuti tingaroverera pamuchinjikwa chishuvo chikuru netariro yenyama yedu, tozviisa pasi pemakore manomwe akareba, sezvataitenda, ekushandira zvakanyanya, tichiziva kuti yaizova nguva yekutambudzwa nekutambudzika kukuru? Zvisinei, muna ikoku kwaizova mukati menguva apo uporofita hwaizozadzika zvomenemene nenzira inooneka uye chaiyoiyo zvikuru, zvokuti vazhinji vaizohuziva ndokutsvaka zvokwadi.

Chisarudzo chaidiwa chakanga chakajeka: kwaisazova kwakarurama kusarudza maererano nezvishuvo zvedu zvoudyire. Saka, zvinoodza moyo sezvazvaive kunyama yedu, tariro yedu yakavandudzwa kuti zvaiva zvechokwadi chido chikuru chemoyo yedu zvaigona kuzadzikiswa: kuti avo vasina kuramba nguva, vagoziva runako rwaIshe wedu muOrion, uye vagobatana nesu mukupa uchapupu hwechibairo hworudo rwavo nokuzvipira kwaAri.

Chisimbiso cheFiradherfia hachingori nezvenguva yekudzoka kwaJesu chete, asi chave pedyo Mwari, Ndiye Nguva! Uye kana Mwari ari Nguva, saka Vanokwanisa kuita nenguva, zvavanoda! Bhaibheri rine mienzaniso yokushandisa kwaMwari nguva yacho, sezvaungave uchiziva. (Zuva rakapfupikiswa raHezekia^[17] uye mazuva maviri aJoshua^[18] maviri anouya nokukurumidza mupfungwa.) Nechisimbiso cheNguva pahuma yako, mikana yakazaruka, uye kana pasina nguva yakakwana yokuita basa racho, ipapo tinokumbira kuna Mwari wedu, uyo anogona kutipa zvatinoda. Kuda hama ndeye kubvunza nguva kwenguva yakawanda kune avo vanozvida, zvisinei nekuzvipira kwatinofanira kupa mukuita. Uhu ndihwo hunhu hwemunhu akasunganidzwa.

Wachi dzasvika kumagumo, uye tinoziva kuti vane 144,000 XNUMX vanofanira kunyatsonzwisisa simba raMwari maererano nenguva! Vachaziva shoko renguva sechokwadi ndokuratidza rudo rwouhama rwaizorega zvishuvo zvavo vamene norusununguko kuti vakumbire nguva nokuda kwavamwe, kana kwaidikanwa.

Gamuchira Pachena, Ipa Nemwoyo Unoda

Soko iri rakagara riri shoko rekupira. Vhangeri roruponeso rinopiwa pachena, asi unorikoshesa zvakadii? Ucha“tengesa” zvose zvaunazvo—kunyange ukama hwako hwepedyo zvikuru kana huchifanira kudaro—kuti u“tenge” munda ungawanwa Jesu, Parera romutengo mukuru?^[19] Uchasarudza Jesu here pane vana vako, murume/mukadzi wako, kana pfuma yako huru nekunyaradza? Kana asina kukosha kupfuura zvinhu zvose izvi kwatiri, saka Ane mazwi akaoma anoshanda kwatiri:

Unoda baba kana mai kupfuura ini haana kufanira ini; neunoda mwanakomana kana mukunda kupfuura ini haana kufanira ini; uye usingatori muchinjikwa wake akanditevera, haana kufanira ini. ( Mateu 10:37-38 )

Asi iva nechokwadi, Ishe vakanyatsokodzera zvese zvatinogona kupa zvezvipo zvenyika ino:

Uye umwe neumwe wakasiya dzimba, kana vanin'ina nemadzikoma, kana hanzvadzi, kana baba, kana mai, kana mukadzi, kana vana, kana minda, nekuda kwezita rangu, uchagamuchira zvine zana, akagara nhaka yeupenyu husingaperi. ( Mateu 19:29 )

Jesu, Muenzaniso wedu mukuru, akapa zvose—muzvose zviri zviviri upenyu Hwake hwenyama nohusingagumi, achiramba ari muchimiro chomunhu nokusingaperi.^[20] Isu takapfuurawo nemuchiitiko chekupa zvese, tichivimbisa kuti kana zvaive zvakafanira kudzima mazita edu kubva mubhuku reupenyu, kwaive kuchiri muripo mudiki kubhadhara, kuti vhangeri rakachena, iro rinosanganisira nguva, risvike pasirese uye vazhinji vaizowana mukana wekuwana hupenyu husingaperi munguva ino yerima uye inovhiringika. Mubairo wakakwana kuti iwe, muverengi anodiwa, zvino wave nemukana wekuverenga nekunzwisisa! Imi ndimi dzimba, mhuri, neminda zvatinowana zvakapetwa kazana.

Iwewo, uchapira Jesu zvose zvako here, uchitakura muchinjikwa wako uchimutevera kusvika kuKarivhari? Hupenyu hwako husingagumi hunozovimbiswa, asi hunotoda kuti hupenyu hwako hwenyama hupihwe.

Nekuti ani nani unoda kuponesa upenyu hwake, ucharashikirwa nahwo, asi ani nani unorashikirwa neupenyu hwake nekuda kwangu, ndiye uchahuponesa. ( Ruka 9:24 )

Yeuka kuti Jesu ndiye Muenzaniso wedu. Akaenda pamberi pedu, uye Anoda kuti titore chiitiko Chake. Unogona kufunga nezvazvo sechiitwa chekubatana. Isu nenzira yomuzvarirwo tinoshamwaridzana naavo vane chinoitika chakafanana nechedu pachedu. Tichava pedyo naJesu here, kana maitiro echibairo airatidza hupenyu Hwake ari echienzi kwatiri? Nekune rumwe rutivi, kana tikagovana zvaanotenda; kana tichitambudzwa saIye; kana tikapa hupenyu hwedu sezvaAkaita, zvino tinokwanisa kuyanana Naye zviri nani kuburikidza nechiitiko chedu chekugoverana. Tinomuziva, uye Iye anotiziva. Kudziviswa kweruzivo urwu rwekuziva nezvekutambudzika kwaKristu kunotungamira mukunyengedzwa kwemaKristu mazhinji.

Vazhinji nezuva iro vachati kwandiri: Ishe, Ishe, hatina kuporofita muzita renyu here? Nokudzinga madhimoni muzita renyu here? Mukaita mabasa mazhinji anoshamisa muzita renyu here? Uye ipapo ndichataura kwavari, Handina kumbokuzivai: ibvai kwandiri imi vaiti vezvakaipa. ( Mateo 7:22-23 )

Avo vanowira mukirasi inosuruvarisa vane pfungwa yenhema yekunyaradza. Vanonzwa vakasununguka nemashoko nezviito zve“chiKristu,” asi havafariri hunhu hwechiKristu. Idambudziko guru rakatambudza vanhu vaMwari kubvira pakutanga, uye Mwari akaranga vanhu Vake, uye kunyange kuvarasa somuuyo wokumukira kunopfuurira pasi pechifukidziro chezita rakanaka.

Nepo vamwe vachipandukira pachena uye vachiramba batano yavo naMwari nenzira dzake, vazhinji vanopfuurira kutaura kuva vana Vake, apo upenyu hwavo huri mukuramba kutenda chose chose. Kupfurikidza nokutaura zita Rake nokupinda minamato yorudzidziso kana kuti kuita zvinhu zvorudzidziso, vanonzwa kuti ivo vaKristu, nepo chaizvoizvo, upenyu hwavo husingaratidzi hunhu hwaKristu, hunova hunoita kuti muKristu ave muKristu.

Hunhu Hwenguva

Kana tichitaura nezvehunhu hwaMwari, zvakakosha kurangarira kuti isu sevanhu vane magumo hatingatarisire kunzwisisa Mwari wedu asingaperi. Pane nguva dzose njodzi yekupa maonero akamanikana paIye mukuedza kwedu kumutsanangura kana kumunzwisisa. Kuna Mwari, ari pose-pose, anogara aripo, uye anoziva magumo kubva pakutanga, mutsauko pakati pechikonzero nemhedzisiro unodzima. Vamwe vanodavira kuti nemhaka yokuti Mwari anoziva zvisarudzo zvatichaita kubvira pakutanga, hapana ane rusununguko chairwoirwo rwokuzvisarudzira, asi kuti chipi nechipi icho Mwari anotirangarira ndicho chatakarongerwa kuita.

Hatigoni kutarira mundangariro dzaMwari, umo nguva yose inosvikika panguva imwe chete, zvisinei, naizvozvo tinoganhurirwa kuzivo yedu timene nekuona kwedu. Naizvozvo, kunyange zvazvo Mwari angaziva nzira yatichasarudza nayo, hatizivi, uye zivo yaMwari haiganhuriri rusununguko rwedu. Mukupesana, ndiMwari, uyo “anoganhurirwa” nezivo Yake isingagumi, nokuti mufungo wekusarudza hauna revo kana zivo yenguva isina kuganhurirwa kwairi chisarudzo chisati chaitwa! Ndiko kusaka mutemo waMwari usingashanduki. Itsanangudzo ye“zvisarudzo” zvake, kana kutaurwa zviri nani, hunhu Hwake—hunhu hweNguva.

Kubva pamaonero edu, nguva inoyerera serwizi, uye tinoona zviitiko zvichiitika munhevedzano, asi nemaonero aMwari, uyo is rwizi rwakazara, zviitiko "hazviitike," asi chimiro chekuvapo. Bhaibheri rinotaura izvi nemashoko akafanana “Gwayana rakabayiwa kubva pakusikwa kwenyika.”^[21] Semaonero edu, Jesu akauraiwa muna AD 31, asi mukuona kwaMwari, anongourayiwa. Ndiye NDIRI anogara aripo. Chiitiko chekurovererwa chinobatsira kune chimiro chekuve chinotsanangura kuti Iye ndiani, uye chinosimbiswa sechinhu chakakosha.

Mubatanidzwa wemurairo wake usingashanduki uye nerudo rwake rusingaperi unoonekwa pamuchinjikwa weKarivhari. Munguva iyoyo inotsanangura, hunhu hwaMwari hwaigona kuoneka zvakajeka kupfuura chero humwe. Uye kana tichiona Ishe wedu nemaonero iwayo uye isu tikatarisa mukati memoyo weNguva, tinomira mukutya kwakanyarara. Muone Achichema Mwanakomana Wake ari kufa, asi achipfuura nokuparadzana kusati kwamboitika nokuda kworudo Rwake kuvavengi Vake—vose vakatadza—kuti vagoyananiswa Naye!

Nei danho rakasimba kudaro raidiwa? Chiito chikuru ichi chakachinja mutemo wake here, kana kuti chakautsanangura maererano nerudo uye kusachinja kwenguva? Zviri pachena kuti Jesu akafa nekuda kwe mutemo wakaputswa, nokuti haungashanduki, nokuti mufananidzo waMwari, uyo ari nguva uye haashanduki. Haana kufa kuti zvigoitwa zvisina maturo, nokuti izvi hazvibviri! Ngatingwarirei patinoti mutemo wakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa! Aiwa, zvakanga zvakadaro “runyoro rwemitemo yaipesana nesu”^[22] iyo yakarovererwa pamuchinjikwa, kwete Mirayiro Gumi, iyo inotidzivirira! Kana tikanzwisisa utsvene hwomutemo iwoyo, taizova mutsinhirano zvikuru namashoko makuru okunamatwa kwaMambo Dhavhidhi ari muganhuro refusa reBhaibheri, Pisarema 119 .

Ndidzidzise, ​​O JehovhaHaiwa Jehovha, nzira yemitemo yenyu; ndichazvichengeta kusvikira pakuguma. Ndipei njere, ndichengete murau wenyu; zvirokwazvo, ndichauchengeta nomoyo wangu wose. Ndifambisei munzira yemirairo yenyu; nekuti ndinofarira izvozvo. Kweverai moyo wangu kuzvipupuriro zvenyu, Urege kukweverwa mukuchiva. (v.33-36)

Ndakarerekera moyo wangu kuti uite mitemo yenyu, nguva dzose. kusvikira kumagumo. (v.112)

Ndichafamba ndakasununguka, nekuti ndakatsvaka zviga zvenyu. Ndichataurawo zvipupuriro zvenyu pamberi pamadzimambo, Ndisinganyadziswi. Ndichazvifadza kwazvo nemirairo yenyu, Yandinoda. (v.45-47)

Nzizi dzemvura dzinoyerera pameso angu, nekuti havachengeti murau wenyu. (v.136)

Vanozvikudza vakandicherera hunza, vasingateereri murau wenyu. Mirairo yenyu yose yakatendeka; Vanonditambudza ndisina mhosva; ndibatsireiwo. Vakanga voda kundipedza panyika; Asi handina kusiya zviga zvenyu. (v.85-87)

Yasvika nguva yako, Jehovha, kushanda: nokuti vakaputsa murau wenyu. (v.126)

Vanoda murau wenyu vane rugare rukuru; Hapana chinovagumbusa. (v.165)

Unoda murayiro waMwari here? Hunhu hwake? Iwe unotenda kuti inogara kusvikira kumagumo here, kana kuti unobatana nevanoita kuti ishaye maturo? Uye ndoupi murairo unogamuchira kurwiswa? Murairo wakaraswa here nokuti unoti, “Usaita upombwe”? Kana kuti imhaka yeicho chine chokuita nenguva here? Unoona here kunobva kurwiswa kweSabata? Muvengi weNguva ndiSatani, saka zviri muropa kuti anorwisa zvinhu zvese zvinobva muNguva. Akaenda rimwe nhanho uye akamonyanisa manzwisisiro akajairika eMasabata Makuru^[23] uyewo, izvo zvinoumba chikamu chinokosha cheshoko, kuwedzera kuramba kwevanhu kugamuchira iri shoko.

Uye zvino unoona here kuti nei kuronga nguva kune mukurumbira wakashata kudaro? Dhiabhorosi atungamira vanhu vasingaverengeki kuti vaise misi yenhema pasina mvumo kubva kuNguva, kuti chokwadi chiunzwe mukuzvidzwa nekungoshamwaridzana! Uye iwe unonzwisisa ikozvino, nei sangano reAdvent rakatanga neshoko renguva uye riri kupera neshoko renguva? Mwari ari kuratidza chimwe chinhu pamusoro pake, uye dhiyabhorosi ari kushanda nesimba mukuedza kuzvisvibisa kuti adzivise vanhu kuwana ruzivo irworwo. Anokuedza kuti urambe shoko renguva, nokuti anoziva kuti ishoko roMweya Mutsvene, uye kuramba shoko iri kuramba Mweya Mutsvene, uko kunoumba chivi chisingaregererwi.

Uye ani nani unoreva shoko rinopikisa Mwanakomana wemunhu, uchakangamwirwa; asi ani nani unotaura achipikisa Mweya Mutsvene haazokanganwirwi. kana munyika ino, kana kune inouya. ( Mateu 12:32 )

Satani akarwisawo mutemo nekuita kuti vanhu vatende kuti haugoni kuchengetwa, kunyangwe nekutenda muna Jesu. Kune rumwe rutivi, anokurudzira vamwe kuti vatende kuti vanogona kuichengeta kana vakaedza nesimba zvakakwana—vachizviita nesimba ravo vamene. Ava vanova vezvemutemo uye kazhinji havafari, uye vanobvisa vazhinji pakuda kuchengeta mutemo. Asi vashoma chaizvo ndivo vanodzidzisa kuti munhu anogona kuteerera nokutenda muna Kristu. Kunyange zvakadaro, Bhaibheri rine zvipikirwa zvakadaro zvakawanda. Imwe yezvandinofarira iri kumagumo aJudah:

Zvino kwaari ndicho chinogona kukuchengetai kuti murege kuwa, nokukuisai musina chamunopomerwa pamberi pokubwinya kwake nomufaro mukuru, kuna Mwari mumwe chete wakachenjera Muponesi wedu, ngakuve nokubwinya, noumambo, nesimba, novushe, zvose zvino nokusingaperi. Ameni. ( Judhasi 1:24-25 )

Kana uchitenda izvi, unogona kusangana nazvo! Igamuchire chete nokutenda, uye usaedze kuzvichengeta kubva pakupunzika, kuti urege kuzova anopengereka kana kuti wemutemo! Vimba izvozvo kuna Jesu uye umurege ararame hupenyu hwake mauri.

Uprofita Hwakadzokororwa

MaKristu mazhinjisa anotora chimiro chokuti zvisarudzo zvake hazviiti musiyano, asi kuti uporofita hwaMwari nezvipikirwa zvichazadzika zvakafanana, pasinei zvapo nokuti vanosarudza sei. Zvisinei, chokwadi ndechokuti Bhaibheri hariratidzi izvozvo! Zvechokwadi, hazvina kuoma kuwana mienzaniso apo Mwari akashandura zvirongwa zvake (achitaura nemaonero evanhu, hongu!). Akataura kuda Kwake kakawanda kuvaIsraeri, asi ivo vakasarudza zvakasiyana, naizvozvo Mwari akabvumira zvisarudzo zvavo zvisina kunaka, uye akavapindura maererano nezvaaizoita, kudai vakaramba vachiteerera.

Zviprofita zvizhinji zvakapiwa kuvaIsraeri zvakanga zvisingagoni kuzadzikiswa kwavari nokuda kwokusatenda uye nokupanduka kwavo. Zviporofita izvozvo zvino zvakava zvokufananidzira zva“Israeri womudzimu” uye hazvishandi muudzame huri hwose (zvikurukuru mazita enzvimbo ekare), asi nzwisiso yomudzimu nefemero zvinodiwa kuti tigoziva kuti zvikamu zvipi zvingangozadzika uye nenzira ipi. Mumashoko eSeventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary:

Zviporofita zvine chekuita nekubwinya kweramangwana kweIsraeri neJerusarema zvaienderana nekuteerera (ona Jer. 18:7–10; PK 704). Vangadai vakawana zadziko chaiyoiyo mumazana amakore akatevera kudai Israeri akagamuchira zvizere madonzo aMwari pamusoro pavo. Kukundikana kwaIsraeri kwakaita kuti kuzadzikwa kwouporofita uhwu muvavariro yavo yepakutanga kubvirire. Zvisinei, izvi hazvirevi hazvo kuti uprofita uhwu hahuna zvimwe zvahunoreva. Pauro anogovera mhinduro muaya mashoko, kuti: “Kwete sokunge kuti shoko raMwari harina maturo. Nokuti havazi vaIsraeri vose, vanobva kuna Israeri” (VaR. 9:6). Nokudaro, izvi zvipikirwa zvine mwero wakati wokushanda kuna Israeri womudzimu. Asi kusvika papi? Izvi zvinofanirwa kusiirwa kufemero yekuona...^[24]

Mwari paanopa chiporofita, kazhinji chinenge chiri muchimiro chokureva kana-zvadaro. Zvisinei, Mwari haaregi shoko rake richidzoka risina maturo,^[25] kunyange kana "kana" mamiriro asina kuzadzikiswa. Muchiitiko chakadaro, chiporofita chakapihwa chinodzokororwa kune imwe nguva apo mamiriro acho ezvinhu chido zvinosangana, kunyange zvazvo zviri muchimiro chokufananidzira.

Nokudaro, munhu anofanira kungwarira mukunyanyoomerera kuti chiporofita chakapiwa chinofanira kuzadzikwa muchimiro chaichoicho. Mamiriro ezvinhu okuteerera kana kuti okutendeka anowanzorevererwa, uye kana aya achiri kushaikwa muvanhu avo uporofita hwacho hunoshanda kwavari, ipapo idi irori ringaita kuti uporofita hwacho husashanda kwavari. Kwete kutozosvikira migariro inodiwa yazadzikwa, mungava muvanhu vamwe chete, kana kuti muboka rinomirira, uporofita huchazadzika zvakakwana. Kunyange zvazvo tingazvizivisa timene muuporofita, hatitongofaniri kunzwa tichidada nazvo, sokunge kuti Mwari anodikanirwa kushanda nesu. Achashandisa zviridzwa zvinozvininipisa, uye hapana chisingatsivike.

Tora Israeri somuenzaniso. Pane imwe nguva, vakabata Areka yeSungano setsvimbo yemashiripiti yaizovakunda muhondo kana voitora vachienda nayo kuhondo. Asi Mwari akabvumira kuti rikundwe navavengi mukukundwa kukuru kwaIsraeri.^[26] Mumazuva aJeremiya, vanhu vakamupomera kuti akanga ataura zvakaipa nezveJerusarema.^[27] sokunge kuti Mwari akanga akavharirwa mukuchikomborera, pasinei zvapo nokusateerera kwavo nokupanduka!
