Nkhondo ya ku Middle East ikubwezeretsanso kwambiri chiyembekezo chilichonse chamtendere m'derali. Ndi kuuma kwa ndale za Israeli mu zisankho zaposachedwa komanso kusinthika kwa Hamas, mothandizidwa ndi Iran ndi Qatar, chiwawa chimaperekedwa ngati njira yokhayo yamtendere. Koma pakati pa zosankhazi pali anthu ovutika omwe ali pafupi kutaya chiyembekezo. Pamwamba pa izo, nkhanizo zimatisokoneza kwambiri mwa kunyalanyaza zotsatira zauzimu zomwe zimatulutsidwa ndi nkhondoyo ndikudziyesa kuti chofunika kwambiri ndi kupeza "wolakwa."

Akristu ayesera kuwonjezera mfundo za m’Baibulo ku mbiri yopotoka imeneyi imene ikuwoneka ngati ilungamitsa mbali imodzi kapena imzake. Izi zikufanana kwambiri ndi kugawanika kwa anthu kwamasiku ano kuposa kuphunzira mosamalitsa mbiri ya Baibulo. Chotero Baibulo lakhalanso mkhole wa nkhondo. Tiyeni tibwerere ku gwero! Tiyeni timudziwe amene yekha angabweretse chikhululukiro, chifundo ndi chilungamo. Inde, chilungamo, chifukwa popanda chilungamo palibe mtendere wokhalitsa.

Pokhapokha mwa kumvetsera Baibulo kachiwiri m’mene tingathere malingaliro oipa onena za mtendere ndi lupanga. Mtendere, umene dziko lapansi silingathe kupereka (zimenezo ndi zimene tikuwona!), uli ndi gwero limodzi lokha: Mesiya wa Mulungu – Mesiya amene Ayuda ambiri am’kana ndipo Asilamu ambiri amavomereza ndi milomo chabe. Sindikutanthauza Mesiya wa Chikhristu chokhazikika yemwe wasankhidwa pazifukwa zamakampani. Ndikutanthauza Mesiya wa Mulungu, amene anakonda dziko lapansi kotero kuti anadza kubweretsa moyo, inde moyo wochuluka, kwa Apalestina ndi Ayuda omwe. Tsopano Yerusalemu, kutanthauza maziko kapena mphunzitsi wa mtendere, angathe kuphunzitsa mtendere kwa mitundu yonse kuchokera kumalo ake akumwamba ( Mika 4,2:3-XNUMX ). Titha kukhala zida mu izi. Tsiku lina idzayima pamalo pamene nkhondo idakalipo.

Kodi ndife amuna ndi akazi achikhulupiriro? Ngati ndi choncho, n’chifukwa chiyani timagwira mawu Mateyu 24 mwa kusankha, molunjika kwambiri pa nkhondo ndi mphekesera za nkhondo, kuiwala kuti “chizindikiro” chimene okhulupirira amayang’ana si chiwawa, koma ufumu wa mtendere wa vesi 14?

Kodi ndife anthu a chiyembekezo? Chiyembekezo sichingamangidwe pa zonyenga monga kumangidwanso kwa Kachisi kupyolera mu zoyesayesa za Zionist kapena kupyolera mu chikhulupiriro chonyenga, ndipo izi zikutikhudza ife kwambiri, kuti chiyambi cha zovutazi chikhoza kufotokozedwa ndi mkangano pakati pa Sara ndi Hagara. Vuto la kumasulira kokhota koteroko kwa mbiri yakale nlakuti Mulungu anadalitsa Ismayeli ndipo analoseranso kuti banja la Ismayeli lidzagwirizana m’kulambira ndi ana a Isake otha kutha ( Yesaya 60,6:7-XNUMX ). Choonadi chimatimasula!

Tilibe mayankho onse, Mulungu ali nawo. Choncho tiyeni tipemphere limodzi mtendere. Odala ali akuchita mtendere m’dziko la chipwirikiti, pakuti adzatchedwa ana a Mulungu (Mateyu 5,9:XNUMX).
