Zikhalidwe Ndi Zosiyana Ndipo Nthawi Zimasintha

‍

Zikhalidwe zimasiyana ndipo nthawi zimasintha, koma anthu nthawi zonse amakhala ndi zizolowezi ndi zizolowezi zomwe zimatipanga ife monga anthu komanso madera. M'ndandanda wake wapaulendo, wolembedwa m'buku la Machitidwe, panali zikhalidwe ziwiri zomwe Paulo amakumana nazo; anthu a ku Atene ndi a ku Bereya. Zikhalidwe zonsezi zinkadya chinachake tsiku ndi tsiku. Anthu a ku Atene anali okonda nkhani ndipo a Bereya anali okonda Mawu, ndipo izi zinapangitsa kusiyana konse. Timakumana ndi anthu a ku Atene pa Machitidwe 17:16-21

‍

Tsopano pamene Paulo anali kuwayembekezera iwo ku Atene, mzimu wake unakwiya mwa iye pamene anaona kuti mzinda waperekedwa kwa mafano. + Choncho anakambirana ndi Ayuda ndi olambira amitundu ina m’sunagoge, ndiponso m’misika masiku onse ndi anthu amene anali kumeneko. Pamenepo anzeru anzeru a Epikureya ndi Asitoiki adatsutsana naye. Ndipo ena anati, “Kodi wobwetuka uyu afuna kunena chiyani?” Ena anati, “Akuoneka kuti ndi wolalikira milungu yachilendo,” chifukwa ankalalikira za Yesu ndi za kuuka kwa akufa. Ndipo anamgwira, napita naye ku Areopagi, nanena, Kodi tingathe kudziwa chiphunzitso chatsopano ichi unena? + Pakuti wabweretsa zinthu zachilendo m’makutu mwathu. Chifukwa chake tikufuna kudziwa tanthauzo la zinthu izi. Pakuti onse a ku Atene ndi alendo akukhala komweko adataya nthawi yawo osachita kanthu kena koma kunena kapena kumva zatsopano.

Nditha kuwalingalira lero, kusewera panjira, kuyika mabulogu, ndikukangana kwambiri malingaliro awo pamasewera aposachedwa. Timapeza anthu a ku Bereya mu Machitidwe 17:10-11:

Pamenepo abale anatumiza Paulo ndi Sila pomwepo usiku kunka ku Bereya. Atafika kumeneko analowa m’sunagoge wa Ayuda. Amenewa anali amalingaliro abwino koposa a ku Tesalonika, popeza analandira mawu ndi kufunitsa kwa mtima wonse, nasanthula m’malembo masiku onse, ngati zinthu zinali zotero.

Anthu a ku Bereya ayenera kuti anali ndi Mabaibulo omwe ankawoneka ngati amayi a ku Uganda, omwe ankaphunzira pa maphunziro a FARM STEW.

Ndiye zotsatira za zizolowezi zawo zinali zotani?

Ponena za anthu a ku Atene akuti: 

‍

“Ndipo pamene anamva za kuuka kwa akufa, ena anaseka pwepwete, koma ena anati, Tidzakumveranso pankhaniyi. Chotero Paulo anachoka pakati pawo, koma amuna ena anagwirizana naye ndipo anakhulupirira, mwa iwowo Dionisiyo + wa ku Areopagi, + mkazi dzina lake Damarisi, + ndi ena pamodzi nawo. ( Machitidwe 17:32-34 )

‍

Anthu a ku Atehniya ankanyoza kapena kuthawa mafunso amene Paulo ankafunsa. Amene anakhulupirira anali ochepa, anatchula anthu atatu okha. Kodi Paulo anachita chiyani ndi khamu losayamikira limeneli? Iye anachoka pakati pawo.

A Bereans, kumbali ina, anali ndi chitsitsimutso chopatsirana chomwe chinadutsa malire azikhalidwe ndi jenda: 

 Cifukwa cace ambiri a iwo anakhulupirira, ndi Ahelene wochuluka, ndi akazi omveka ndi amuna. ( Machitidwe 17:12 )

‍

Zikhalidwe ziwirizi, makamaka zizolowezi zawo za tsiku ndi tsiku, zinapanga kuyankha kwa anthuwa. Zidzapanganso zathu. Kodi timadya chiyani tsiku lililonse? Kodi ndife okonzeka kuona kumene Mulungu akugwira ntchito, kumene moyo watsopano ndi chiyembekezo chatsopano zikumera? Kodi nchiyani chimene chimatikopa chidwi? Ndipo zotsatira zake zidzakhala zotani, m’miyoyo yathu ndi awo otizungulira?
