Pamene tiona kuti Mulungu anaika chiweruzo cha imfa chifukwa cha tchimo, lyenso ndi Mulungu wachikondi. "Mulungu ndiye chikondi" (1 Yohane 4:16). Mulungu akukondani, mnzanga, ngakhale mukukhala mu uchimo. Chikondi chake chidakukonzerani njira yoti mupulumutsidwe nayo (Yohane 3:16). Mulungu, wosanamayo, adzaika chiweruzo chake pa tchimo, ndipo ngati chilungamo chake sichidzakhala pa munthu, pomwepo iye adzafa. Chomwecho Mulungu safuna wina aliyense kuti ataike, anatuma Mwana wake Yesu kutitengera thonzo la uchimo kuti tikhale ndi moyo. Malemba akuti, "Chifukwa chake onani chifatso chake ndi kuuma mtima kwake kwa Mulungu" (Aroma 11:22). Ubwino wa Mulungu ndi wakuti apulumutse munthu koma chiweruzo chake chinkafuna chilango.

Yesu anadza ku dziko lapansi ndi cholinga chakuombola miyoyo yathu. Iye ndi Woyera ndi wopanda tchimo, Mwana-wa-Nkhosa wa Mulungu wopanda chilema. Chikondi cha Mulungu chapa ife chinaoanekera pamene lye anatenga machimo athu ndi kulakwa kwathu ndi mphotho yake ya imfa ndi kuziika izi pa Yesu. Taonani ubwino wake! Ndipo monga Yesu anamvera chifuniro cha Atate wake, lye analandira mphotho ya machimo athu. Yesu anakhala wochimwa m'malo mwathu ndi kukwaniritsa chiweruzo cha Mulungu. Iye anapachikidwa pa mtanda pa maora asanu ndi limodzi (6 hours) namva kuwawa ndi ululu kufikira mphotho yake ya machimo athu itaperekedwa, ndipo pamenepo Yesu anafa. Taonani kuuma mtima kwake kwa Mulungu!

Wokondedwa wowerenganu, kodi mukuona kuti Yesu anakuferani inu, ndi kuti lye anafa CHIFUKWA cha machimo anu? Kodi makamaka yemwe adapachika Yesu ndani? Kodi amene anakhudzidwa ndi akuluakulu a Ayuda, kapena Pilato kapena asilikari a Aroma okha? Petro mtumwi tsiku lina analalikira kwa chikhamu cha anthu zikwizikwi. Uthenga wake wa Petro unali woona: "lye (Yesu), anaperekedwa ndi chikhamu komanso ndi nzeru ya kudziwiratu ya Mulungi, INU munamtenga ndi manja anu oipawo munampachika ndi kumupha" (Machitidwe 2:23). Wokondedwa moyowe, yang'anani kwa Yesu yemwe anapachikidwa ndipo bvomerezani kulakwa kwanu ndi kuchita naye mu imfa yake!

Kulapa koonadi kumayambira makamaka pa mfundo imeneyi, pamene musunga mu mtima mwanu za malo owopsyawo ndi zomwe zinachitikazo. Ndi mphamvu ya Mzimu wa Mulungu mudzazindikira kuti mukanayenera kufa munali inu osati Yesu ayi. Koma Yesu anatenga malo anu! Ngati inu muzindikira ichi mumtima mwanu, kudzakubweretserani chisoni ndi kuti tchimo simudzalifunanso ayi. Pakulingirira kuti wina adakonzera wina imfa ndi chinthudi chochititsa mantha, makamaka kuti lye anali Mwana weniweni wa Mulungu. Miyoyo yomwe imagwira masomphenya awa imalapa ndi kubvomereza machimo awo. Ndi monga momwe tilingirira za chiweruzo cha Mulungu chokhuthulidwa pa Yesu ndipo pakuchidziwa ichi tidayenera kulira ndi ife omwe tidayenera imfa, "Mulungu mundichitire chifundo ine wochimwa" (Luka 18:13). lzi ndi ntchito zoyamba za kulapa. Ngati kulapaku kupitirira, kumakwaniritsa pa kusiyiratu njira zathu zoyamba za uchimozo, ndi kutembenukira ku njira za Mulungu. Munthu yemwe watsukidwa ndi kuyeretsedwa kuchokera ku njira zake zoipazo, iye adzazifulatira izo ndi kutembenukira ku zinthu zakumwamba. ichi mwachidule ndi njira yolapa yomwe imachitika ndi Mulungu mu mitima ya onse akudza kwa lye. Pokhapokha munthu atalapadi, ndiye kuti iye adzadziwa mtendere, chimwemwe ndi kusungika. pokhapokha titachita naye Yesu mu chisoni chake ndi zowawa zake za mu Getsemane pomwepo tidzamva chimwemwe cha kuuka kwake.

Potsiriza penipeni, zotsatira zake za kulapa ndi kukhala woyamika kotheratu ndi kudzipereka kwa Khristu ndi ku chifuniro cha Mulungu. Pa ichi chiphatikizanso Mpingo monga kunaikidwa mu Chipangano Chatsopano. Pamene tinaikidwa kufa ndipo popanda njira yotulukiramo, Yesu anati: "ldzani kwa lne ndipo ndidzakupumulitsani inu" (Mateyu 11:28). "Timkonda ife chifukwa anayamba lye kutikonda" (1 Yohane 4:19).

Tsiku lina nkhani yakuuka kwa akufa kwa munthu uja idakambidwa, nthawi yomweyo adadutsa pakhomo paofesi, ndipo adandilozera kwa iye. Posakhalitsa ndidam'patsa kalata yoti afike kumene ndidali kugwira ntchito. Atafika,  ndidali ndi nthawi yokambirana naye, ndipo kuchokera pakamwa pake ndidamva nkhani yake yodabwitsa.

Kudali ngati usiku pamene pali nyenyezi zambiri, sikudali kowala kweni-kweni kapena mdima. Sipadapite nthawi yaitali, ndili kutsidya la mtsinjewo, ndidamva phokoso lotakasidwa madzi popalasa bwato.  Posachedwa munthu amene adali m'bwatomo adapalasira kufika pafupi ndi pomwe ndidaima.

     “ Nthawi imeneyo ndidali wopanda mawu. Iye adandiyang'ana kamphindi kochepa, nati kwa ine, 'ndabwera kudzakutenga,' nandiuza kuti tikwere bwatolo kuti tiolokere tsidya lina. Ndidamumvera.

Komabe ndidali kuona kuwala kochokera patali, potero ndidaunikiridwa pa ulendo wangawo.

“Posachedwa ndidakomana ndi chinthu china, maonekedwe ake sindingathe kulongosola, koma ndingalongosole pang’ono maonekedwe ake oopsya.

Ndili wonjenjemera chomwecho, adanena ndi mawu woopsya amene ndikuwakumbukirabe, nandiuza kuti ndimutsate iye chifukwa watumidwa kuti anditsogolere pa ulendo wangawo. Ndipo ndidamutsata. Ndi chiyani chomwe ndikadachita? Titayenda patali pang’ono, phiri lalikulu lidaonekera patsogolo pathu. Lidaoneka phiri longa logawidwa pakati, ndipo pa mbali ina ya phirilo inali khoma lalitali. Pakhomapo padali mau olembedwa: ’MALO A GEHENA’. Wonditsogolera adafika pakhoma la phirilo nagogoda katatu ndi chogwirira cha nthungo yake. Ndipo chitseko chachikulu chidatseguka cham’tsogolo, ndipo tidalowa mkati. Pamenepo adanditsogolera kupyolera mkati mwa phirilo.

“Pa kanthawi tidayenda mumdima waukulu. Ndidali kumva mgugu wa mapazi oyenda kotero kuti ndidatha kutsatira wonditsogolerayo. M’njira yonseyo ndinali kumva kubuula monga ngati wina alinkufa.

Ndidapeza kuti tidayenda mopyola mkati mwa phiri lija, ndipo ndidaona chigwa chachikulu chili patsogolo panga.

“Pamalo amenewa wonditsogolerayo adandisiya ndekha, napita kukatsogoleranso mizimu ya anthu ena otayika kunjira yomwe tidadzerayo. Ndidakhala pa chigwa chotsegukacho kanthawi pamene munthu wina wokhala ngati woyamba uja adabwera kwa ine; koma m’malo mokhala ndi nthungo, iye adabwera ndi lupanga lalikulu.

Makoma ake adanyezimira ngati miyala ya yaspi ndipo pambali pa mzindawo ndidaona malo akulu okutidwa ndi maluwa okongola kwambiri. Ndidaonanso mtsinje wa moyo ndi nyanja yowala ngati galasi. Ndipo angelo ochuluka adali kulowa ndi kutuluka pa zipata za mzindawo, ali kuimba nyimbo zokoma. Pakati pawo ndidaona mayi wanga wokondedwa amene adafa zaka zapitazo ndi mtima wawo wosweka chifukwa cha zoipa zomwe ndidali kuchita. Mayi adandiyang’ana nandikodola kuti ndipite komwe kudali iwo.

M’nyanja yamoto imeneyi mudali kumveka mau olira ndi kulira kosalekeza kuchokera ku mizimu yotaikayo. 

  “Pamenepo ndidatembenuza maso anga kuyang’ana pakhomo pamene ndidalowapo posachedwa, ndipo ndidawerenga mau olembedwa motere: ‘MALO ANO NDI A CHILANGO CHAKO, KUNTHAWI YOSATHA.’ Posakhalitsa ndidaona nthaka ilikuchoka ku mapazi anga, pomwepo ndidapezeka ndili kumira munyanja yamoto.
