Israeri vaiva negore, gungwa, nechikafu chimwe chete chomweya, asi vakawira murenje — zvakanyorwa sechiyeuchidzo. Kunamata zvifananidzo kunofanira kutizwa, asi Baba vavo vakatendeka uye vanopa nzira yokubuda. Idyai zvamunopiwa; itai zvose nokuda kwokubwinya kwavo.

Chitsauko 10.

Hama dzangu, ndinoda kuti muzive kuti: madzitateguru edu ose akanga ari pasi pegore, ose akapfuura nomugungwa. Ose akabhabhatidzwa muna Mozisi mugore nomugungwa. Ose akadya chokudya chimwe chete chomweya, uye ose akanwa chokunwa chimwe chete chomweya, nokuti akanwa padombo romweya rakanga richivatevera—dombo iroro raiva Kristu. Asi Baba vedu havana kufadzwa navazhinji vavo, nokuti vakaparadzwa murenje.

Zvino zvinhu izvi zvakava mienzaniso yedu, kuti tirege kuchiva zvinhu zvakaipa sezvavakachiva ivo. Musava vanonamata zvifananidzo sezvakanga zvakaita vamwe vavo; sezvazvakanyorwa kuti: “vanhu vakagara pasi kuti vadye vanwe, vakabva vasimuka kuti vatambe.” Ngatirege kuita upombwe sezvakaita vamwe vavo—zviuru makumi maviri nezvitatu zvakafa nezuva rimwe chete. Ngatirege kuedza Kristu, sezvakaita vamwe vavo, vakaparadzwa nenyoka. Uye musagununʼuna, sezvakagununʼuna vamwe vavo, vakaparadzwa nomuparadzi. Zvinhu izvi zvakaitika kwavari semienzaniso, zvikanyorwa seyambiro kwatiri, isu takasvikirwa nemagumo enguva. Naizvozvo, ani naani anofunga kuti amire ngaachenjere kuti arege kuwa. Hakuna muedzo wakakubatai kunze kwounowanzowira vanhu vose. Uye Baba vedu vakatendeka: havazotenderi kuti muedzwe kupfuura zvamunogona kutakura, asi pamwe chete nomuedzo vachakupaiwo nzira yokubuda nayo, kuti mugone kuutsungirira.

Naizvozvo, vadikani, tizai kunamata zvifananidzo. Ndinotaura sokune vanhu vakangwara; zvitongerei pachenyu zvandinotaura. Mukombe wokuropafadza watinoropafadza—ko hausi kugoverana muropa raKristu here? Chingwa chatinomedura—ko hachisi kugoverana mumuviri waKristu here? Sezvo pane chingwa chimwe chete, isu vazhinji tiri muviri mumwe chete, nokuti tose tinogoverana chingwa chimwe chete ichocho. Tarisai vanhu vaIsraeri: ko avo vanodya zvibayiro havasi vagovani vearitari here? Zvino ndiri kutaureiko—kuti chokudya chakabayirwa zvifananidzo chinhu, kana kuti chifananidzo chinhu? Kwete, asi zvinobayirwa neavo vasingazivi Baba, vanozvibayira madhimoni, kwete Baba vedu; handidi kuti mugoverane nemadhimoni. Hamungagoni kunwa mukombe waIshe nomukombe wemadhimoni; hamungagoni kugoverana tafura yaIshe netafura yemadhimoni. Kana kuti tiri kuedza kumutsa godo raIshe here? Ko takasimba kumupfuura iye here?

“Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa”—asi hazvisi zvose zvinobatsira. “Zvinhu zvose zvinotenderwa”—asi hazvisi zvose zvinovaka. Ngaparege kuva nomunhu anotsvaka zvakamunakira iye, asi zvakanakira muvakidzani wake. Idyai zvose zvinotengeswa pamusika wenyama musingabvunzi mibvunzo nokuda kwehana, nokuti “nyika ndeyaBaba vedu, nezvose zviri mairi.” Kana asingatendi akakukokai kundodya uye muchida kuenda, idyai zvose zvamunopiwa, musingabvunzi mibvunzo nokuda kwehana. Asi kana mumwe munhu akakuudzai kuti, “Izvi zvakabayirwa,” musazvidya, nokuda kwouya akakuudzai, uye nokuda kwehana. Handirevi hana yenyu, asi yomumwe munhu. Nokuti hana yomumwe inotongereiko rusununguko rwangu? Kana ndichidya ndichionga, ndingashorwei nokuda kwechinhu chandinoonga nacho?

Naizvozvo, kunyange muchidya, kana kunwa, kana kuita chimwe chinhu, itai zvose nokuda kwokubwinya kwaBaba vedu. Musagumbusa vaJudha kana vaGiriki kana kereke yaBaba vedu, sezvandinoedza kufadza munhu wose muzvinhu zvose—ndisingatsvaki zvakandinakira ini, asi zvakanakira vazhinji, kuti vaponeswe.
