Pane here dzidziso dzechiKristu dzinovimbisa kubudirira uye ruponeso seTitanic? NaLeola Rosenvold

Nguva yekuverenga: 8 maminitsi

Iyo Titanic, inonakidza nyowani yeBritish mutakuri, kwaive kudada kweEngland. Vazhinji vaida kuvapo parwendo rwokutanga rwengarava huru, ine simba zvikuru uye youmbozha yakanga yamboyambuka makungwa.

Humwe hunhu hwayo hwakatanhamara hwaive hwekuti Titanic yairatidza kunzwa kwekuchengeteka kwakakwana. Iyo hull yaive nemadziro maviri uye yakakamurwa kuita gumi nematanhatu isingapinde mvura. Kunyange kana makamuri mana eaya akazara nemvura, pakanga pasina ngozi yekunyura.

Sezvineiwo, vafambi 2.224 nevashandi vechikepe vakakwanisa kutora chikamu murwendo rwekutanga kubva kuEngland kuenda kuNew York - umbozha pamatanho ese. Ngarava sezvayainyura mugungwa, nhamburiko dzose dzakaitwa kuti vafambi vagutse zvishuvo zvavo nezvokudya zvinonaka zvikuru. Mimhanzi nekutamba zvaipa varaidzo yaidiwa, munhu wese aigutsikana; munhu wose akanzwa akachengeteka zvakakwana, vakafunga kuti: "Chikepe hachigoni kunyura."

Vakuru vengarava vakanga vayambirwa kuti vatore nzira yokumaodzanyemba kuti vave parutivi rwakakotsekana, nokuti mazaya echando akanga achiyambuka gungwa achienda kuchamhembe. Asi kaputeni, aine chivimbo chokuti ngarava yake yaisanyura, akasarudza nzira ipfupi yokuNorth Atlantic.

rude kumuka

Zvakaitika pakati pousiku chaipo. Bhendi rejazz rakanga richiridza mimhanzi yakakurumbira panguva iyoyo uye vafambi vaitamba kwairi. Vakaerekana vabvarurwa zvisina tsitsi mukudzikama kwavo. Kutamba nekuseka kwakabva kwamira. Pakarepo bhendi rakachinja rwiyo ndokuridza: "Closer my God to you". Chii chakaitika?

Anenge makiromita 150 kubva kumhenderekedzo yeNewfoundland, ngarava yacho yakarova dombo reaizi iro rakatsemura mvura ine mafiti XNUMX kurutivi rworudyi, ichikuvadza makamuri mashanu emhepo. Ko chengeteko norugare zvakanga zviripi zvino? Ngarava huru yakazadzwa nemvura ndokutanga kunyora. Vashandi vengarava nevaiva mungarava vainzwa sokuti vakachengeteka.

Titanic yakaridza nhare dzeSOS dzisingaperi, asi hadzina kuteererwa. Kunyangwe kuCalifornia, chikepe chihombe chaive makiromita makumi matatu chete, hapana akanzwa kuchema kunotyisa kwekukumbira rubatsiro, nekuti chiteshi cheredhiyo chengarava chaive chisina munhu, mutyairi weredhiyo aive asiri pakutambira. Kudai kuchema kwokupererwa kwakanzwika, vatakurwi vose vaiva mungarava yakanga yakuvadzwa vangadai vakaponeswa. Asi mukurumbira wake wakawira pasi.

Sezvo Titanic yakanga isina zvikepe zvokuponesa zvakakwana muchikepe, vakadzi vakawanda nevana sezvaibvira vakatanga kutakurwa.

Manheru iwayo, Kubvumbi 15, 1912 na2:20 a.m., vanhu 1.513 XNUMX kusanganisira kaputeni nevashandi vakawana guva ravo rechando nengarava nenzira inosuruvarisa muNorth Atlantic.

Chii chakaitika kuvanhu 700 vaiva muzvikepe zvokununura vanhu? Vamwe vazhinji vangadai vakarasikirwa nehupenyu hwavo husiku hwechando uhwo husina mhepo Carpathia yasvika maminetsi makumi maviri mushure mekunge Titanic yanyura. Vanhu vose vaiva muzvikepe zvokununura vanhu vakaponeswa.

Kaputeni nevashandi vangadai vasina kutora zano rokusarudza nzira yokuchamhembe zviri nyore kudai vakanga vasina kuzvipinza mundangariro yenhema yokuchengeteka—mupfungwa yokuti ngarava yakanga isinganyuri.

Chengetedzo Yenhema Yomudzimu

Kungava here kuti tinofungawo kuti tiri mupfungwa yenhema yechengeteko - mumudzimu? Kutenda kuti, “Kana wangoponeswa, waponeswa nguva dzose”? Isu takafanana nevafambi veTitanic? Tisingazivi nezvengozi iri kuuya, tinorarama upenyu hwedu hwezuva nezuva nemafaro here se“vaKristu” vanonyengerwa, tichifunga kuti, “Ndakaponeswa!”? Mupfungwa yedu yokuponeswa, hatinzwi takachengeteka here se“ngarava isinganyuri”?

Ellen White anonyora kuti: 'Ndakaona nokusuruvara kutambudzwa kwezviuru zvemweya inorarama upenyu hwayo isingafungi uye isina hanya... Vanofunga kuti zvinokosha zvikuru kuunganidza pfuma pasi pano pane kutsvaka chokwadi. Vanogara murugare, asi harusi rugare rwakasiiwa naJesu kuvateveri vake, asi rugare rwokuzvinyengera nokusakendenga, uko kunoreva rufu.”Kudzokorora uye Herald, Ndira 13, 1885)

Sezvo kuzvinyengera nechengeteko yenhema zvakauraya vanhu 1.513 XNUMX pazuva iroro rakashata raApril, saizvozvowo muzuva redu zviuru zvavanhu zvichafa norugare rwomudzimu rwenhema.

rugare chairwo

Asi, tenda Jehovha, kuchine rugare chairwo. Vose vanotsvaka chokwadi vanogona kuwana rugare runopiwa naJesu. Inogona kuwanwa kupfurikidza nokuzvipa umene kuna Mwari, kuteerera mirairo Yake, uye nokuomerera kwakasimba kwaAri kusvikira kumugumo. Muponesi wedu anoti: “Unotsungirira kusvikira pakuguma, ndiye uchaponeswa.” ( Mateo 10,22:119,165 NL ) Wezvamapisarema anorondedzera rugare rukuru rwomweya souyu: “Iye anoda mutemo wenyu achagara murugare uye haangatongokundikani.” (Mapisarema XNUMX:XNUMX).

Ellen White anonyora kuti: “Mwoyo chete wakadzidza kuzvipa kuna Mwari uchawana rugare.”Zviratidzo Zvenguva, July 20, 1882) Anopikira mukundi, kuti: “Rugare rwake nomufaro zvichava zvikuru, nokuti ndiMwari anovapa.” (Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, 227) Urwu ndirwo rugare rwakavimbiswa naJesu kuvateveri vake vakatendeka.

rugare rwenhema

Nekune rumwe rutivi, Satani anonyadzisa anopa “rugare” uye “chengeteko” kuna vose vanoda kurambira muzvivi zvavo. Pasinei nomufambiro wavo wokutadza, anovavimbisa kuti: “Maponeswa! Zvisinei, “rugare” rwake haruna chokuita nokuchengeteka uko muchinjikwa waMesiya unotipa. Muchinjikwa uyu wairatidza kutendeka uye kuzvipira kwaJesu. Jesu anotikumbirawo kuti: “Takura muchinjikwa unditevere!” ( Mako 10,21:XNUMX )

Ellen White anoshuma nezveavo vakaramba Jesu, kuti: “Vakasindimara, vanozvivimba, uye vanozviruramisa, vakavhara suo rorugare netariro yavo bedzi nemhaka yokuti vaisazofamba munzira yaMwari. Vakanga vasingadi kuzarura zvido nemwoyo kuchiedza chechokwadi. Hatidi kuti vanhu vakurudzire vamwe kutsvaga kuchengeteka, rugare, kubudirira uye mufaro kuburikidza nekuisa pasi muchinjikwa wavo, sezvavakaita kare. Ipapo munhu anowana chete 'rugare' runonyengera rwaSatani, asi kwete rugare runobva kumusoro - rugare rwakavimbiswa naJesu.« (Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, 930, 931)

Vasingaverengeki vanofara kuti Jesu akavafira pamuchinjikwa; asi ivo pachavo havadi kutakura muchinjikwa wavo, havadi kurega kuzvida kwavo nezvivi zvavo zvichifa kuti vave vatsvene. Vanosundira parutivi muchinjikwa wechokwadi uye vanotenda kuti vakaponeswa pamwe chete nezvitadzo zvavo. Havanzwisisi kuti kutsveneswa chikamu chehurongwa hweruponeso. Vanofunga kuti kutenda zvakakwana. Vabatwa muiyi dzidziso yenhema, vanotsvaka utiziro mumufananidzo worugare. Asi rugare urwu haruna kufanana norugare runonyengera paTitanic here? Pauro anorondedzera mamiriro avo ezvinhu seizvi: “Naizvozvo Mwari anovatumira simba rokunyengera, kuti vatende nhema, kuti vose vasina kutenda zvokwadi, asi vakafarira kusarurama vatongwe.”— 2 VaTesaronika 2,11.12:XNUMX . ,XNUMX).

Vazhinji vanozoona nguva yapera kuti “kutenda” kunorevawo kutenda kuti kucheneswa noruponeso zviri pamwechete. Zvinoita sokuti vari kufuratira izvo Pauro anonyora: “Asi tinofanira kuonga Mwari nguva dzose nokuda kwenyu, hama dzinodiwa naJehovha, kuti Mwari akakusarudzai kubvira pakutanga kuti muponeswe noutsvene hwomudzimu uye nokutenda muchokwadi.” ( 2 VaTesaronika 2,13:XNUMX NIV)

“Nokuti kana, patakanga tiri vavengi, takayananiswa naMwari norufu rwoMwanakomana wake, kunyanya kana tayananiswa tichaponeswa noupenyu hwake.”— VaRoma 5,10:XNUMX .

Mweya Mutsvene, kupfurikidza naEllen White, unosimbisa ndima iyi kupfurikidza nokujekesa zvarinoreva: “Norufu rwake takayananiswa naMwari; neupenyu hwake, kana zvikaonekwa muhupenyu hwedu, tichaponeswa. ”Zviratidzo zvenguva, Chikunguru 17, 1903)

Ellen White anosimbisa kukosha kwekutsveneswa: “Kutoti chokwadi chachinja uye chichitsvenesa upenyu hwevanhu kuti vawane hwaro hworudo uye hwoumwari hwetariro yavo, kukanganisa kwakawanda kana kuti nhema kuchavatsvaira ndokurasikirwa noruponeso rwavo.” ( Ellen White anosimbisa kukosha kwokutsveneswa here?Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, 39)

Kana vanhu vasina kucheneswa nechokwadi, vachakukurwa zvisina tsitsi nemasaisai ekusatenda voparara seTitanic.

Basa redu

Kutaura idi, avo vanoziva zvokwadi nezano rinouraya raSatani havafaniri kuva nechisarudzo kunze kwokunyevera vamwe. Sei tichifanira kuramba chokwadi chakajeka pamusoro pekutsveneswa. Hatidi here kuvhiringa "status quo" yenyika? Zvisinei, kana tikavanyarara, tichavakanganwa isu pachedu. Izvi zvine mhedzisiro inouraya yakafanana nerunyararo rweTitanic: Rugare chairwo uye hupenyu hwedu hunoenda kunotuhwina.

“Vose vanoedza kuchengeta rugare kupfurikidza nokuramba vakanyarara panzvimbo pokudzivirira zvokwadi—zvokwadi yazvino yomunguva yedu—vanowira murugare ruchaguma muhope dzorufu.” (Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, 930)

Tinoda kuzivisa zvokwadi yazvino ndokudzivisa chinhu chipi nechipi chinokosha kuruponeso, nemhaka yokuti tinodavira kuti “zvokwadi inounza nyaradzo norugare rusingagoni kupiwa nenhema.” (Chishuwo cheMazera, 671)

Mumazuva okupedzisira, vashumiri vaMwari vakatendeka vachapedza basa rake panyika: ‘Mwari paanozadza vanhu nomudzimu wake, vanotanga kushanda. Vanoparidza shoko raJehovha uye manzwi avo anorira sehwamanda. Zvokwadi haidzike kana kuderera mumaoko avo. Vachaita kuti vanhu vazive kudarika kwavo uye neimba yaJakobho zvivi zvavo.”Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, 1647)

Kumwe kutaura kunokosha kunotivimbisawo kuti: “Chero bedzi Mwari aine chechi, anewo vanhu vanotaura panzvimbo pokunyarara... Ndakaona vanhu... .Vaparidzi vakasununguka kutaura chokwadi vanochizivisa noushingi sezvachiri muShoko raMwari. Chokwadi chinogona kurwadza! … Chokwadi chinoda kutaurwa zvakajeka. Inojekesa kuti sarudzo yakakosha sei. Kunyange zvazvo vafudzi venhema vachizivisa “rugare” uye vachiparidza zvinhu zvinofadza, vashumiri vaMwari vachashevedzera chokwadi—vasingaregi. Mhedzisiro yacho inofanira kusiirwa kuna Mwari." (zvipo zvemweya 2, 284-285)

Kudai taida bedzi kuva pakati paavo varume navakadzi vanobvumira manzwi avo sehwamanda ndokudanidzira kuti, “Mukai! Dzokera! Rindai munyengetere! Zvakaipa zviri kuuya!"

Sarudza nzira yakachengeteka!

Kunyangwe paine vanhu vanofunga kuti vanogona kuyambuka zvakachengetedzeka mumvura dzine njodzi, zvine njodzi kutenda mukuchengetedzeka kwe "Titanic yemweya". Panoitika njodzi, vanozvinyengera ava vanotarisa rufu mumaziso vobva vaona kuti: Handina kugadzirira kuuya kwaJesu. Vachaburuka nechikepe - vaparara!

"Titanic yedu yemweya" ine nzeve dzakavhurika here? Kana tikamuka iye zvino, hatizochenjeri sezvakaita vakwiri vegungwa regungwa usiku ihwohwo hwenhamo. Tinoda kubatirira zvakasimba kuchokwadi norugare izvo Jesu anopikira kuvadzidzi vake vose. Ngatipindei pachiteshi chedenga naJesu semutungamiri nemuchairi wendege; mukukunda - vakadzikinurwa nokusingaperi!
