KURWISANA KUKURU
CHITSAUKO 36—HONDO IRI KUUYA
Kubva pakutanga kwehondo huru kudenga, chagara chiri chinangwa chaSatani chekubvisa murairo waMwari. Ndicho chinangwa chaaive nacho paakaita chimurenga kudenga achirwisana naMwari Musiki, kunyange zvake akadzingwa kudenga, ari kungoenderera mberi nehondo yake panyika pano. Chinangwa chake chikuru chiri chekunyengera vanhu, kuti avatungamirire kuputsa mutemo waMwari. Kuti zvinoitika sei, kuuputsa wose kana kuramba mumwe chete wawo, magumo acho mamwechete. Uyo “anogumburwa kune chimwe chawo,” anoratidza kuti anozvidza mutemo wose; saka muenzaniso wake nemabasa aanoratidza zviri kurutivi rumwe chete rwekutadza; saka “anova nemhosva kune zvose” Jakobo 2:10. KK 350.1
Mukutsvaka kwake kuti mutemo waMwari uzvidzwe, Satani akamonyorora dzidziso dzeBhaibheri,ndicho chikonzero nei nhema dzichiwanikwa pakati pevazhinji vanoti vanotenda muMagwaro. Hondo huru yekupedzisira pakati penhema nechokwadi kupedziswa kwehondo yagara iripo panyaya yemutemo waMwari. Tava kutopinda muhondo iyi- hondo pakati pemitemo yevanhu nemitemo yaJehova, pakati pechinamato chinobva muBhaibheri nechinamato chengano yetsika dzemagariro evanhu. KK 350.2
Masimba achabatana mukurwisana nechokwadi nekururama, muhondo iyi ari kutoita basa rayo. Shoko raMwari dzvene, iro ratakagashidzwa nemutengo wekutambudzika kwakadaro neropa, harisi kukosheswa. Munhu wose anokwanisa kuzviwanira Bhaibheri, asi vashoma vanorigashira kuti rivatungamirire muhupenyu. Kusatenda kwapararira zvinotyisa, zvisiri munyika chete, asi nemukerekevo. Vazhinji vave kuramba dzidziso dziriidzo mbiru dzechinamato cheChikristu. Chokwadi chikuru chekusikwa kwenyika sekupiwa kwachakaita nevanyori vakafemerwa, kutadza kwevanhu, nekudzikinurwa kwavo, kusapera kwemutemo waMwari, zvose izvi zvave kurambwa pachena, zviri zvose zvakadaro kana kuti chikamu chazvo nevazhinji vanozviti maKristu. Vazhinji vanozvikudza pamusoro pehuchenjeri nerusununguko rwavo vave kuona sekuti kuterera Bhaibheri kupusa nehutera, vanofunga kuti hunyanzvi hukuru kana vachitsoropodza Magwaro nekuratidza kuti vakadzidza zvikuru nekurasira kure chokwadi chawo chinokosha, kuburikidza netsananguro dzavo. Vafundisi nevadzidzisi vakuru veBhaibheri vazhinji vanodzidzisa vanhu vavo kuti mutemo waMwari wakashandurwa kana kuti wakabviswa; saka vose vanoti uchiri kuchengetwa vanosekwa nekuvonekwa sevanhu vasina maturo. KK 350.3
Kana vanhu vachiramba chokwadi vanenge vachitorambawo naIye wakachinyora. Pakutsikira pasi mutemo waMwari, vanozvidza simba reMupi weMutemo wacho. Zviri nyore kuumba chifananidzo chedzidziso dzenhema nepfungwa dzakamonyoroka zvinongoita sekuveza chifananidzo nematanda kana nemabwe. Nekuminamisa zvakaita Mwari, Satani anotungamirira vanhu kuti vavone Mwari nenzira isiri iyo. Vazhinji vakazvivezera chifananidzo mupfungwa chikagadzwa pachigaro mumwoyo yavo pachinzvimbo chaMwari; ukuvo Mwari mupenyu uyo anoratidzwa kuburikidza neshoko rake naKristu, nezvakasikwa, achinamatwa nevanhu vashoma.

Kusarurama nerima rekusaziva Mwari zvakambovepo mazuva ekutonga kweRoma aive matuso ekurambidza kwayo Magwaro; Asi chichawanikwa kupiko chikonzero chekusatendeka munzvimbo zhinji, kuramba murairo waMwari, nehuori huriko, pasi pechiyedza chevhangeri munguuva yekunamata kwakasununguka?
