Butemwe ne kutekanya kukakwasha bansemi kubula kulefulwa kimye kyo babena kufunjisha baana babo. Inge mwatekanya, mwakonsha kufuma bintu byawama bingi.​—Salamo 127:3.

Kwibamwena Bibafwainwa

7. Mu ñanyi mashinda Yesu mo amwenejile baana banji ba bwanga bintu bya ku mubiji?

⁷ Butemwe bumwekela mu mingilo yawama. (1 Yoano 3:17, 18) “Kechi bukeba bintu bibuwamina abo bwine ne.” (1 Kolinda 13:5) Butemwe bwamulengejile Yesu kumwena baana banji ba bwanga bintu bya ku mubiji. Aye wibamwenanga bino bintu saka bakyangyetu ne kumubuula byo bakebanga ne. Kimye kyo amwene’mba bakooka, wibambijile’mba “twayai ku mpunzha kwa bunke bwetu tukakokolokeko pacheche.” (Mako 6:31) Byo amwene’mba bafwa nzala, wibajishishe, pamo na biumbi bya bantu bakwabo baishile kumvwa byo afunjishenga.​—Mateo 14:19, 20; 15:35-37.

⁸ Yesu wayukile ne kumwena baana banji ba bwanga bintu bya ku mupashi byo bakajilwe. (Mateo 4:4; 5:3) Pa kufunjisha, wibatanga bingi muchima. Waambile Jashi ja pa Mutumba kikatakata kuba’mba baana banji ba bwanga bamwenemo. (Mateo 5:1, 2, 13-16) Byo aingijishanga bishimpi pa kufunjisha, “wibalumbulwilanga bintu byonse ku mbaji.” (Mako 4:34) Yesu waambijile jimo kuba’mba ukatongola “kalume wa kishinka kabiji wa maana” ukajishanga kajo baana banji ba bwanga mu moba a kupelako. Uno kalume wa kishinka ke jibumba jicheche jalengwa na balongo ba kwa Yesu bashingwa na mupashi baji pano pa ntanda babena kunengezha “kajo pa kimye kyafwainwa” kutendeka mu 1919 C.E.​—Mateo 24:45.

⁹ Pa juba ja lufu lwanji, Yesu wamwesheshe byo atele muchima balunda nanji ne kwibalengela kwikala na bulunda bwakosa ne Yehoba. Akifwanyikizhai kyamwekele. Yesu wajinga pa kichi kya lumanamo saka aji mu misongo ikatampe. Pa kuba’mba apeme, kyamweka wikokelenga saka asuntuka kujimbila ku maulu anji. Kino kyamulengejile kumvwa misongo mambo kinemenezhi kya mubiji wanji kyalengejilenga misumali yo bamupopele ku maulu kubayisha kilonda kabiji nyuma yajinga na minkakamba ikushilenga ku kichi. Na mambo a ino misongo, kyamukatezhenga bingi pa kubatu’mba ambe. Pano bino, saka akyangye kufwa, Yesu waambile byambo byamwesheshe’mba watemenwe bingi inanji, aye Maliya. Byo amwene Maliya ne mutumwa Yoano saka baimana pepi, Yesu wasuntwileko jiwi ne kwambila bainanji amba: “Talai mwanenu wo!” Kabiji kwi Yoano waambile’mba: “Tala! Bainobe bo.” (Yoano 19:26, 27) Yesu wayukile kuba’mba uno mutumwa wakishinka kechi ukamwenangatu Maliya bintu bya ku mubiji byonkatu ne, bino ne bya ku mupashi.b

10. Bansemi bakonsha kulondela byepi Yesu kumwena baana babo bintu byo bakajilwa?

¹⁰ Bansemi ba kifyele bamona Yesu kwikala wakumwenako wawama. Nsemi wamulume watemwa kisemi kyanji wikimwena bintu bya ku mubiji. (1 Timoti 5:8) Mitwe ya bisemi iji na butemwe kabiji yayuka kwesakanya bintu bulongo, ikalako na kimye kyawama kya kukokoloka ne kukayako. Kyakilapo kunema, bansemi bena Kilishitu banengezhezha baana babo bintu bya ku mupashi. Mu ñanyi jishinda? Bansemi ba uno mutundu banengezha kupopwela kwa kisemi kimye kyonse, kabiji besekesha bingi kumona’mba bipungu byonse bya lufunjisho bibena kutundaika baana babo ne kwibaletela lusekelo. (Mpitulukilo ya mu mizhilo 6:6, 7) Kupichila mu byambo ne mu byubilo, bansemi bafunjisha baana babo kuba’mba mwingilo wa kusapwila ke mwingilo wanema bingi kabiji ne kuba’mba kunengezha ne kutanwa ku kupwila kwa bwina Kilishitu ke lubaji lwanema bingi lwa mutanchi wabo wa ku mupashi.​—Bahebelu 10:24, 25.

11. Yesu wafunjishe ka baana banji ba bwanga pa mambo a kulekelako bantu mambo?

(Kolose 3:13, 14) Kinembelo kya 1 Kolinda 13:5 kyaamba’mba: Butemwe “kechi buvuluka kintu kyatama ne.” Pa bimye byavula, Yesu wafunjishe baana banji ba bwanga buneme buji mu kwilekelako mambo. Wibakambizhe kulekelako bakwabo mambo “kechi bimye bitanu na bibiji ne, kana bimye 77,” ko kuba’mba kafwako pa kupelela ne. (Mateo 18:21, 22) Wibafunjishe kuba’mba umvwe ndengamambo ye bakajipila walapila, bafwainwa kumulekelako mambo. (Luka 17:3, 4) Nangwa byonkabyo, Yesu kechi wajinga nobe Bafaliseo bakamfutumfutu bafunjishanga mu byambo byonkatu ne; bino aye wafunjishanga kupichila ne mu byo aubanga. (Mateo 23:2-4) Twayai twisambe pe Yesu byo alekejileko mambo mulunda nanji wamufichishe ku muchima.

Yesu wamwene byubilo byawama byajinga na Petelo kabiji wamupele mingilo yavula yanema bingi. Ba Petelo, Yakoba ne Yoano bemwenejile bene bya kukumya bimo byabujile kumonapo bakwabo batumwa. (Mateo 17:1, 2; Luka 8:49-55) Byonka byo twisambilepo mu mafuka afumako, Petelo ye umo wajinga pa batumwa bayile ne Yesu mukachi kene ka bujimi bwa Ngesemani pa juba jo bamukwachile Yesu. Nangwa byonkabyo, bonka bwa bufuku kimye Yesu kyo bamusolwele ne kumukasa, Petelo ne bakwabo batumwa bamushile Yesu ne kunyema. Palutwe kacheche, Petelo wachinchikile ne kwimana pangye kimye Yesu kyo bamutotolweshenga. Pano bino, Petelo waumvwine moyo ne kulenga mambo akatampe​—pa bimye bisatu wakainetu nsalansala’mba kechi wamuyukile Yesu ne. (Mateo 26:69-75) Nga Yesu waubile byepi? Nga anweba mwakonsha kuba byepi umvwe mulunda nenu wa pa muchima wimukana byonka Petelo byo akaine Yesu?

¹³ Yesu waswijile jimo kulekelako mambo Petelo. Wayukile’mba Petelo kya mukolele bingi ku muchima pa byo aubile. Kabiji uno mutumwa walapijile, “kyamukolele bingi ku muchima watendeka ne kujila.” (Mako 14:72) Pa juba jo asangukile, Yesu wamwekele kwi Petelo, kampe na kumutekenesha ne kutundaika uno mutumwa. (Luka 24:34; 1 Kolinda 15:5) Byo papichile nobe bañondo babiji, Yesu wanemekele Petelo kupichila mu kumutongola kushimuna bukamonyi ku mabumba a bantu mu Yelusalema pa juba ja Pentekosta. (Byubilo 2:14-40) Twafwainwa kuvulukanga’mba Yesu kechi wibazhingijile batumwa banji na mambo a kuba’mba bamunyemene ne. Byo asangukile watwajijile kwibeta’mba “balongo bami.” (Mateo 28:10) Yesu kechi witubuulatu bya kulekelako bakwetu mambo ne, bino ne aye walekelangako bantu mambo.

14. Mambo ka o twafwainwa kufunjila kulekelako bakwetu mambo, kabiji twakonsha kumwesha byepi’mba twaswila jimo kulekela bakwetu mambo?

(Mako 11:25) Pano twakonsha kumwesha byepi’mba twaswila jimo kulekela mambo aba betulenga mambo? Javula, butemwe bwitukwasha ne kulubakotu ku tumambo tucheche twa bakwetu. (1 Petelo 4:8) Umvwe aba betulenga mambo balapila kyakine, byonka Petelo byo aubile, twafwainwa kulondela muchima wa kwa Yesu wa kuswila jimo kulekela bantu mambo. Kechi twafwainwa kwikalanga na mfika ne, bino twafwainwa kulubakotu ku byaubiwa. (Efisesa 4:32) Inge ke tube bino, tulengela kipwilo kwikala mutende kabiji ne atweba bene twikala bakasuluka mu milanguluko ne muchima.​—1 Petelo 3:11.

Wibaketekejile bingi ne kushiinwa’mba mu michima yabo batemenwe bingi Yehoba kabiji ne kukebesha kuba kyaswa muchima wanji. Nangwatu kimye kyo batamishanga, Yesu kechi wibalengululanga ne. Kimye mutumwa Yakoba ne Yoano kyo babujile inabo kwambila Yesu amba bakekale nanji mu Bufumu bwanji, Yesu kechi wazhinaukile bukishinka bwabo nangwa kwibakana kwikala batumwa banji ne.​—Mateo 20:20-28.

16, 17. Mingilo ka Yesu yo apele baana banji ba bwanga?

Pa bimye bibiji byo avuzhizhe kajo mu jishinda ja kukumya ne kujisha jibumba ja bantu, wapele baana banji ba bwanga mwingilo wa kwabanya kajo. (Mateo 14:19; 15:36) Byo anengezhenga Kijiilo kyanji kya Lupitailo kyapeleleko, watumine Petelo ne Yoano kuya ku Yelusalema na kunengezha bintu bulongo. Bayile na kunengezha mwana mukooko, binyu, shinkwa wabula mbizho, bishu byalula ne bintutu bikwabo byakebewenga.

Kabiji pa joja juba bufuku Yesu waingijishe binyu ne shinkwa wabula mbizho kwikala bimpashañano kimye kyo atendekeshe Kivuluko kya lufu lwanji.​—Mateo 26:17-19; Luka 22:8, 13.

¹⁷ Yesu wapele baana banji ba bwanga ne mingilotu ikwabo yanema bingi. Vulukai’mba Yesu wapele baana banji ba bwanga mwingilo wanema wa kusapwila ne kulenga baana ba bwanga. (Mateo 28:18-20) Byonka byo twisambapo kala, wapeletu aba bashingwa bamulondejilenga pano pa ntanda mwingilo wanema wa kunengezha ne kupana kajo ka ku mupashi. (Luka 12:42-44) Lelo jino, nangwa kya kuba ubena kulama mwiulu, Yesu wapaine kipwilo kyanji pano pa ntanda kwikala mu maboko a banabalume boba bulongo, ko kuba’mba “wapaine bantu kwikala bya bupe.”​—Efisesa 4:8, 11, 12.

Twayai tuvulukenga’mba muntu wa butemwe kimye kyonse ukeba byawama mu bakwabo kechi byatama ne. Umvwe bakwetu betufichisha ku muchima, butemwe buketukwasha kubula kwibalangulukila’mba baji na byubilo byatama. (Mateo 7:1, 2) Umvwe saka tulanguluka byawama pa bakwetu ba mu lwitabilo, tukebobilanga bintu bya kwibakomesha kechi bya kwibatozha ne.​—1 Tesalonika 5:11.

¹⁹ Nanchi twakonsha kupapo bakwetu mingilo imo byonka byaubanga Yesu nyi?

Yehoba byo atwajijila kupesha mwingilo ye tubena kwingila wa Bufumu bwanji, kibena kukebewa bingi banabalume boba bulongo kufunda mingilo.​—Isaya 60:22.
