"Ini ndinongotenda zvandinoona nekunzwisisa," vamwe vanoti... NaEllet Wagoner (1855-1916)

Mukristu anotenda kune zvisingaonekwi. Izvi zvinoita kuti asingatendi ashamiswe nokumuseka, kunyange kumuzvidza. Asingatendi kuvapo kwaMwari anotora kutenda kwakapfava kwemuKristu sechiratidzo chekushaya simba kwepfungwa. Nenyemwerero yakashata, anofunga kuti njere dzake amene dzakakwirira, nokuti haatongodaviri chinhu chipi nechipi pasina ufakazi; haamboskiri kumhedziso uye haatendi chinhu chaasingaoni nekunzwisisa.

Tsumo yekuti murume anongotenda zvaanogona kunzwisisa ane chitendwa chipfupi ichokwadi sekurambidza. Hapana muzivi mupenyu (kana musayendisiti) anonyatsonzwisisa kunyange chikamu chimwe chete-zana chezviitiko zviri nyore zvaanoona zuva rega rega ... Kutaura zvazviri, pakati pezviitiko zvose izvo vazivi vanofungisisa zvakanyanya, hapana mumwe ane chikonzero chikuru. anogona kutsanangura.

Kutenda chinhu chakajairika. Munhu wose asingatendi kuti kuna Mwari anotenda; uye muzviitiko zvakawanda anotonyengedzwa. Kutenda chikamu chezvese zvebhizinesi uye zvese zvehupenyu. Vanhu vaviri vanobvumirana kuita bhizinesi chairo panguva nenzvimbo; mumwe nomumwe anovimba neshoko romumwe. Muzvinabhizimisi anovimba nevashandi vake nevatengi vake. Uyezve, anovimba naMwari, zvichida asingazivi; nokuti anoyambutsa zvikepe zvake kugungwa, achivimba kuti zvichadzoka zvakaremerwa nenhumbi. Anoziva kuti kudzoka kwavo kwakachengeteka kunotsamira pamhepo namafungu, izvo zvisingadzorwi nomunhu. Kunyange zvazvo asingambofungi nezvesimba rinotonga mamiriro okunze, anoisa chivimbo chake muvakuru vakuru nevafambisi vezvikepe. Anotopinda mungarava ine kaputeni nevashandi vaasina kumboona, uye anomirira nechivimbo kuendeswa kuchiteshi chengarava chaanoda.

Achifunga kuti upenzi kuvimba naMwari “asina kumboona kana munhu asingagoni kuona.” ( 1 Timoti 6,16:XNUMX ) asingatendi kuti kuna Mwari anoenda kuhwindo duku, oisa madhora makumi maviri mariri uye anogamuchira kubva kumunhu waasina kumboona. akaonekwa uye ane zita raasingazivi, kapepa kanoti anogona kutyaira achienda kuguta riri kure. Pamwe haasati amboona guta iri, anoziva nezvekuvapo kwaro chete kubva mumishumo yevamwe; zvisinei, anopinda mumotokari, opa katsamba kake kune mumwe munhu waasingazivi, ogara pachigaro chakanaka. Haasati amboona mutyairi weinjini uye haazivi kana iye asingakwanisi kana kuti ane vavariro dzakaipa; chero zvazvingava, haana hanya zvachose uye anotarisira kusvika akachengeteka kwaanoenda, nezvekuvapo kwaanongoziva nerunyerekupe. Uyezve, akabata bepa rakabudiswa nevanhu vaasina kumboona, rinotaura kuti vatorwa ava vaakazvichengeta kuti vamuchengete vachanomusiya pane imwe nguva kwaanenge achienda. Asingatendi kuti kuna Mwari anotenda mashoko aya zvokuti anozivisa munhu waasati amboona kuti agadzirire kusangana naye pane imwe nguva.

Kutenda kwake kunoshandawo mukupa shoko rinozivisa kuuya kwake. Anopinda mukamuri duku, anonyora mashoko mashomanene pabepa, anopa munhu waasingazivi pafoni duku, uye anomupa hafu yedhora. Anobva aenda, achifunga kuti munguva isingasviki hafu yeawa shamwari yake yaasingazivi, iri kure nemakiromita ane chiuru, ichange ichiverenga meseji yaachangobva kusiya pachiteshi.

Sezvaanosvika muguta, kutenda kwake kunotowedzera kujeka. Murwendo akanyorera mhuri yake tsamba, iyo yakasara pamba. Angopinda muguta, anoona kabhokisi kakarembera padanda romugwagwa. Anobva aendako pakarepo, okanda tsamba yake uye haachanetseki nayo. Anotenda kuti tsamba yaakaisa mubhokisi, asina kutaura nemumwe, ichasvika kumudzimai wake mukati memazuva maviri. Pasinei neizvi, murume uyu anofunga kuti upenzi zvachose kutaura naMwari uye kutenda kuti munyengetero uchapindurwa.

Iye asingatendi kuti kuna Mwari achapindura kuti haavimbe nevamwe neupofu, asi ane zvikonzero zvekutenda kuti iye, tele-meseji yake uye tsamba yake zvichafambiswa zvakachengeteka. Kutenda kwake muzvinhu izvi kwakavakirwa pazvikonzero zvinotevera:

1. Mamwe akanga aendeswawo zvakakotsekana, uye zviuru zvetsamba neteregiramu zvakanga zvatotumirwa zvakarurama ndokuunzwa nenguva. Kana tsamba yakarasika, inenge nguva dzose imhosva yeatumira.
2. Vanhu vaaizviisa kwavari nemashoko ake vakaita basa ravo; dai vakasaita mabasa avo hapana aizovavimba uye bhizimusi ravo raizoparara nekukurumidza.
3. Ane zvakare vimbiso dzehurumende yeUnited States. Makambani echitima neteregirafu anowana mabasa kubva kuhurumende, izvo zvinotsigira kuvimbika kwawo. Kana vakasatevedzera zvibvumirano, hurumende inogona kubvisa mari yavo. Kuvimba kwake mubhokisi retsamba kunobva pamabhii USM ari pairi. Anoziva zvadzinoreva: vimbiso yehurumende yokuti tsamba imwe neimwe inokandwa mubhokisi ichaunzwa zvakakotsekana kana yakanyorwa zvakanaka uye yakadhindwa. Anotenda kuti hurumende inochengeta zvipikirwa zvayo; zvikasadaro aizokurumidza kuvhoterwa. Saka zviri mugwara rehurumende kuti rizadzikise zvarinovimbisa, sezvakangoitawo makambani echitima neteregirafu. Zvose izvi pamwe chete zvinoumba hwaro hwakasimba hwokutenda kwake.

Eya, muKristu ane zviuru zvezvikonzero zvokudavira zvipikirwa zvaMwari. Kutenda hakusi kungobvuma kusiri nyore. Muapostora anoti, “Kutenda ndirwo nheyo yezvinhu zvinotarisirwa, umbowo hwezvinhu zvisingaonekwi.” ( VaHebheru 11,1:XNUMX EG ) Iyi irondedzero yakafuridzirwa. Kubva pane izvi zvinogona kugumiswa kuti Ishe haatarisiri kuti titende pasina humbowo. Zvino kuri nyore kuratidza kuti muKristu ane chikonzero chikuru chokudavira muna Mwari kupfuura asingatendi kuvapo kwaMwari wemakambani enjanji neteregirafu kana kuti hurumende.

1. Vamwe vakavimba nezvipikirwa zvaMwari uye vakavimba nazvo. Chitsauko chegumi nerimwe chaVaHebheru chine ndaza refu yaavo vakasimbisa zvipikirwa zvaMwari: “Ivava vakakunda ushe nokutenda, vakaita zvakarurama, vakawana zvipikirwa, vakadzivisa miromo yeshumba, vakadzima simba romwoto, vakapukunyuka kwakapinza kwomunondo; vakasimba pakushaiwa simba, vakava nesimba pakurwa, vakadzinga hondo dzavatorwa. Vakadzi vakadzorera vakafa vavo pakumuka” ( VaHebheru 11,33:35-46,2 ), kwete munguva dzakare chete. Ani naani achagona kuwana zvapupu zvakawanda zvokuti Mwari “mubetseri anotenderwa panguva yokushayiwa.”— Pisarema XNUMX:XNUMX . Zviuru zvinokwanisa kushuma mhinduro kumunamato zvakajeka kwazvo hapasisina kupokana kuti Mwari anopindura munamato zvakavimbika sekutumirwa kunoita hurumende yeUnited States tsamba yayakapihwa.
2. Mwari watinovimba naye anoita basa rake kupindura munyengetero uye kudzivirira uye kutarisira vanhu vaanotonga. "Rudo rwaJehovha haruna magumo! Ngoni dzake hadziperi.” ( Mariro aJeremia 3,22:29,11 ) “Nokuti ndinoziva kwazvo mirangariro yandinayo pamusoro penyu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “pfungwa dzorugare, dzisati dziri dzokutambudzika, kuti ndichakupa mugumo une tariro.”— Jeremia 79,9.10 :XNUMX). Kudai aizoputsa vimbiso dzake, vanhu vaizorega kumutenda. Ndiko kusaka Dhavhidhi aivimba naye. Akati: ‘Tibatsirei, imi Mwari mubatsiri wedu, nokuda kwokukudzwa kwezita renyu! Tiponesei uye mutiregerere zvivi zvedu nokuda kwezita renyu. Munotaurirei vahedheni, muchiti: Mwari wavo zvino uripi?”— Pisarema XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX .
3. Hurumende yaMwari inotsamira pakuzadzika kwezvipikirwa zvake. MuKristu ane vimbiso yehurumende yepasirese kuti chikumbiro chiri chose chaanoita chiri pamutemo chichaitwa. Hurumende iyi inonyanya kuchengetedza vasina simba. Ngatitii Mwari aizoputsa chimwe chezvipikirwa zvake kumunhu asina simba uye asingakoshi zvikuru pasi pano; kuitira kuti kusiya kumwe chete kwaizopidigura hurumende yose yaMwari. Chadenga chose chaizongoerekana chapinda munyonganyonga. Kudai Mwari aizoputsa chipikirwa chipi nechipi chezvipikirwa zvake, hapana munhu muchisiko chose aizotongovimba naye, kutonga kwake kwaizova kumugumo; nokuti kuvimba nesimba rinotonga ndiko bedzi hwaro hwechokwadi hwokutendeka nokuzvipira. VaNihilist muRussia havana kutevedzera zvirevo zvetsar nekuti vaisavimba naye. Hurumende ipi neipi iyo, kupfurikidza nokukundikana kuita zvayakarayira, inorasikirwa nokuremekedzwa kwavagari vayo inova isina kugadzikana. Ndicho chikonzero nei muKristu anozvininipisa achivimba neShoko raMwari. Anoziva kuti kune zvakawanda zviri mungozi nokuda kwaMwari kupfuura nokuda kwake. Dai zvaibvira kuti Mwari aputse shoko rake, muKristu aizorasikirwa noupenyu hwake, asi Mwari aizorasikirwa nehunhu hwake, kugadzikana kwehurumende yake, uye kutonga kwechisiko chapose pose.

Uyezve, vaya vanovimba nehurumende dzevanhu kana kuti masangano vachaodzwa mwoyo.
