M’buku la Levitiko muli malangizo ambiri apadera a makhalidwe abwino amene Mose anapereka kwa Aisiraeli. Analembedwa mosamala m’buku. Zinali mfundo za m’Malamulo Khumi zimene zinafotokoza udindo umene munthu ali nawo kwa munthu mnzake ndi kwa Mulungu. Ngati Aisiraeli akanamvera zonse zimene Mulungu analonjeza, iye akanawaona kuti ndi amtengo wapatali ndipo adzawapanga kukhala mtundu wamphamvu kwambiri. Anawakhazikitsa m’dziko la Kanani monga anthu oyera ndi osangalala. Iwo adzapeza chimwemwe ndi chisungiko chawo kokha mwa kukwaniritsidwa kwa malamulo ake.

“Ndipo Yehova ananena ndi Mose, nati, Nena ndi ana a Israyeli, nunene nao, Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu. Musamacita monga anacitira m’dziko la Aigupto, kumene munakhalamo, kapena kucita monga m’dziko la Kanani, kumene ndikutsogolerani, musamayende monga mwa malemba ao.” ( Eksodo 2 :18,3) Yehova anafuna kuti pakhale anthu amene adzamutumikila mokhulupilika ndi kudzilekanitsa ndi mitundu ina yonse yosaopa dzina lake. Iye ankadziwa kuopsa kocheza ndi olambira mafano. Anadziŵa kuti kungoyang’ana ndi kumva za miyambo yachikunja ndi mafilosofi opanda pake kungawononge makhalidwe abwino. Panali chiwopsezo chakuti kupembedza konyansa kwa olambira mafano kukawakopa ndi kupangitsa kulambira kwawo. Ngakhale kuti zimene makolowo angakumane nazo zingawateteze, khalidwe la anawo linali losokonezeka nthaŵi zonse. Nthawi zonse ankakopeka kuti azitengera makhalidwe a anthu amene ankacheza nawo.

Lamulo lochokera kwa Mulungu limeneli lili ndi tanthauzo kwa ife masiku ano otsiriza. Nkhonya zimapambana ndipo Satana amadikirira anthu osachenjera ndi machenjerero amtundu uliwonse. Kusangalala ndiponso kufunafuna zosangalatsa n’kofala masiku ano, ndipo anthu ambiri amakhala odzikweza komanso opanda makhalidwe abwino. Mlingo wa dziko suyenera kukhala mlingo wa awo amene amakonda ndi kuopa Mulungu. Iye amayembekezera kuti otsatira ake adzilekanitsa ndi ochimwa ndi ochimwa. Chifukwa chakuti odzinenera kukhala otsatira ake aipitsa golide woyenga bwino wa kukhala kwawo ndi mabwenzi a dziko, iwo ali amtengo wapatali m’maso mwake. Analibe chikhulupiriro chenicheni ndi chipembedzo chenicheni.

Thandizo kwa osowa

Malangizo amene anaperekedwa kwa Aisrayeli akale anali ndi cholinga chofanana ndi chimene Yesu anapereka kwa ophunzira ake paphiri. Onse ayenera kulimbana ndi kudzikonda ndi kulimbikitsa kukoma mtima. Nthawi zonse Mulungu amaganizila anthu osauka ndipo amauza anthu ake mmene angawasamalile. “Mukabweretsa zokolola za m’dziko mwanu, musakololenso m’mphepete mwa munda wanu, kapena kukunkha mutakolola.” ( Levitiko 3:19,9 ) “Pamene mubweretsa zokolola za m’dziko lanu, musamakololenso m’mphepete mwa munda wanu, kapena kukunkha m’makututa anu.”

Ndiyeno akuti: ‘Usapondereze kapena kulanda mnzako. Malipiro a wantchito wa usana asakhale kwa inu kufikira m’bandakucha.” ( Levitiko 3:19,13 ) Tsoka ilo, kaŵirikaŵiri malipiro amalandidwa mosalingalira kapena mwankhanza kwa ogwira ntchito ndipo amayenera kulipira ndalama zochepa zimene amapeza pogwira ntchito molimbika, kapena kuvutika. Kupanda chilungamo kumeneku kumachitika kutali. Olemba ntchito nthawi zambiri amakhala akuluakulu. Zomwe amapeza zingathandizire banja limodzi kapena awiri osauka. Munthu woteroyo akamachititsa antchito kudikirira malipiro awo amene anawapeza movutikira, Yehova amakwiyira.

Pamene kuli kwakuti tiyenera kusonyeza chifundo ndi chikondi kwa osauka oyenerera, sitiyenera kuyanja osauka osayenera kokha chifukwa cha umphaŵi wawo “kapena kulemekeza munthu wamkulu.” ( Levitiko 3:19,15 ) Chifukwa chakuti iye ndi wamkulu. Kodi izi zimakwaniritsidwa bwanji? Munthu akhoza kukhala ndi chuma chambiri, kulandira ulemu waukulu ndi kuyamikiridwa ndi ulemu chifukwa cha udindo wake, ngakhale kuti ali ndi mtima woipa ndipo moyo wake suyenera kutsanzira. Udindo ndi chuma sizipanga anthu; koma manja oyera ndi mtima woyera Mulungu adzalandira.

Palibe koma Choonadi

“Musamaba, kapena kunama, kapena kunamizana!” ( Levitiko 3:19,11 ) Onse abodza adzathera m’nyanja yamoto. Komabe, munthu amadzinenera zabodza zambiri ndipo amadzinamiza kuposa momwe ambiri amaganizira. Chinyengo ndi kukokomeza konse ndi zabodza. Woona mtima, wolungama, sapereka mwadala malingaliro amene si owona mwa zolankhula kapena manja. Sadzapatsa mnzake uthenga umene akudziwa kuti ndi wolakwika. Kunama kumakhala ndi cholinga chonyenga. Kuyang'ana, kugwedeza dzanja, ndi nkhope kungathe kunena zabodza mofanana ndi mawu. Malifalensi ndi mawu osonyeza kukokomeza ndi zabodza. Mtumwiyu anati: “Musamanamizana wina ndi mnzake.” ( Akolose 3,9:XNUMX ) Kugwa kwa Hananiya ndi Safira kumasonyeza kuti ngakhale m’nthaŵi ya Uthenga Wabwino, kubwezera kumagwera olakwa mofanana ndi mmene zinalili m’nthawi ya Ayuda.

Kupatulika kwa dzina la Mulungu

Musamalumbira monama m'dzina langa, kuipitsa dzina la mulungu wanu; Ine ndine Yehova.” ( Levitiko 3:19,12 ) Dzina la Yehova limadetsedwa m’njira zambiri. Kaŵirikaŵiri amalankhulidwa mosalingalira ndi kuipitsa m’kukambitsirana kwa tsiku ndi tsiku mwa kulitchula. Mwachitsanzo, ndi mawu akuti “Mulungu yekha ndiye akudziwa zimenezo!” ndi zina zotero. Ena amatchula dzina la Mulungu mosaganizira m’pemphero. Dzina lake loyera liyenera kutchulidwa mwachidwi osati mosasamala kanthu za mawu ochepa chabe m’mapemphero athu. “AMBUYE Mulungu Wamphamvuyonse!” “Dzina lake ndi loyera ndi loopsa!” ( Chivumbulutso 4,8:111,9; Salmo XNUMX:XNUMX ) Ukhondo wake, ukulu wake, ndi ubwino wake tingazisinkhasinkha, koma milomo yoyera yokha ndiyo iyenera kutchula dzina lake. Ngakhale kuti sitimva mawu ake akulengeza lamulo kuchokera paphiri, tili ndi zifukwa zambiri zochitira mantha ndi kunjenjemera monga momwe anachitira anthu a m’munsi mwa Sinai. Lamulo la Mulungu ndi lozama kwambiri. Sitingathe kuzemba pempho lake. Pakuti ndiye muyeso wa chiweruzo chamtsogolo.

Tchimo la Umbuli

“Koma akachimwa wina wa anthu wamba mosadziwa, abwere………………. abwere nacho chopereka; ngati wansembe wamchitira chomtetezera, adzakhululukidwa.” ( Levitiko 3:4,27.28.31, 7,17 ) , XNUMX khamu la anthu) Zimenezo zinagwiranso ntchito kwa olamulira ndi ansembe. Ngakhale kuti anaitanidwa ndi Mulungu Mwiniwake ku ntchito yawo yopatulika, izi sizinawapange kukhala osalakwa. Nthawi zonse ankakhala pachiwopsezo chochita tchimo. Ngakhale zitachitidwa mosadziwa, zidakhalabe uchimo pamaso pa kumwamba. Kusazindikira, ngakhale kuchepetsa kulakwa kwa wopyola malire, sikuli chowiringula chokwanira pa tsiku lachiweruzo. Mtumwiyo anati: “Ngati wina afuna kuchita chifuniro chake, adzazindikira ngati chiphunzitso ichi chili chochokera kwa Mulungu.” ( Yohane XNUMX:XNUMX ) Awo amene amafunitsitsadi kudziŵa chowonadi cha Mulungu ndipo sadzasiyidwa mumdima.

Anthu nthawi zonse amazindikira machimo awo. Chilamulo cha Mulungu chimaperekedwa ku chikumbumtima chawo monga momwe chinachitira kwa mtumwi Paulo. Iye sankadziwa kuti anali wophwanya malamulo, koma ananena kuti pamene lamulo linafika, uchimo unatsitsimuka ndipo anafa. Iye anaphedwa ndi chilamulo ndiyeno, mwa kulapa machimo ake ochimwa ndi mwa chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu, anayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu ndi kukhululukidwa ndi Iye.

Chokumana nacho cha Paulo chikanakhala chokumana nacho cha zikwi zambiri lerolino ngati atsatira chikumbumtima chawo mokhulupirika monga momwe iye anachitira. Sanayambitse nkhondo yolimbana ndi chilamulo cha Mulungu chifukwa ndi chida chomwe chinamutsutsa ndi kumupha; m'malo mwake! Iye akunena kuti lamulo loperekedwa kwa moyo linabweretsa imfa kwa wochimwayo koma moyo kwa wotsatira.

Munthu lerolino amakonda kudziikira muyezo wake ndi kuponda pa muyezo wowona wokhawo. Koma pamene chikumbumtima cholodzeracho chidzutsidwa ndi kuunika kuloledwa kuwalira m’zipinda zamdima za mtima wake, amazindikira kuti waswa lamulo la Mulungu mosadziŵa. Iye akufunsidwa kuti alape machimo amene anachita ndi kuvala Yesu kudzera mu chikhulupiriro ndi ubatizo.

Ena amanena kuti anakhala ndi moyo monga mmene ankadziwira, sadziwa kuti anali ochimwa pamaso pa Mulungu. Choncho, amaona kuti anali opanda cholakwa ndipo sanong’oneza bondo. Koma mawu a Mulungu ndi omveka bwino. Onse amene ankafunitsitsa kulimvetsa mwa kupemphera akanatha kuona kuti ndi loona. Chifukwa cha uchimo uwu wa umbuli, monganso mu nthawi ya Mose, Mulungu adzafuna nsembe: nsembe ya mtima wosweka ndi wosweka (Masalimo 51,19:XNUMX). Pokhala ndi Baibulo m’manja, tonse tiyenera kudziwa ndi kuchita choonadi. Koma ena amakana kusintha zikhulupiriro kapena zochita zawo, ponena kuti kuona mtima kwawo kudzawapulumutsa. Oterowo ali pachiwopsezo chochita tchimo lodzikuza ndi kusachita zonse zomwe anali kudziwa. Kudzifufuza mozama ndi kuphunzira mozama malemba ndi kupemphera mochokera pansi pa mtima n’zofunika kuti munthu asazengereze mtanda, koma kuti atsogolere ku choonadi chonse, kaya ndi mtengo wotani wodzikanira, mosasamala kanthu za kumvera kosautsa.

Machimo osadziwa safuna zifukwa, koma kulapa. Palibe amene ayenera kuganiza kuti chifukwa Yesu anafa ndi kunyamula zolakwa za munthu, chimene ayenera kuchita ndi kuvomereza chikhululukirocho. Musalole kuti amve ngati sakufunika kudandaula ndi machimo amene wakhala akuchita kwa nthawi yaitali. Kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu kuli ndi malire, ndipo chilango cha kuswa lamulo lake chidzabweradi, ngakhale kuti “chiweruzo cha woipa sichifulumira.” ( Mlaliki 8,11:XNUMX ) Kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu kuli ndi malire. Koma chifukwa chakuti tikukhala m’nthaŵi imene kubwezera sikumatsatira zochita zoipa nthaŵi yomweyo, uchimo umapeŵedwa mocheperapo ndipo “mitima ya ana a anthu [yadzala] kuchita zoipa” (ibid.).
