Chisungo 1 muChinyorwa cheApostora
Nhoroondo yeBhaibheri yatinayo yekukura kwekereke yekutanga inonzi Mabasa avaApostora. Tinowanzo kupfupisa izvi kuti 'Mabasa,' asi zvinogona kungonongedzerwa kwazviri nyore se“Vaapostora.” Nei zita racho risingamboshandiswi nenzira iyoyo? Kana kuti nei zita rakazara risinganyanyi kushandiswa?
Kana tikafunga nezvazvo, kushandisa zita rokuti “Mabasa,” rakaparadzana nevaapostora, hazvina musoro. Sezvineiwo, kudzikiswa kwezita rakazara rebhuku iri reBhaibheri ingori mhedziso yechando kana tichitarisa nzira dzakawanda dzamaapostora dziri kufuratirwa kana kurerutswa nekereke nhasi uye dzagara dziri munhorondo. Chokwadi ndechekuti, tinoda zvikuru zviito zvevaapositori nhasi mukereke pamatanho mazhinji, kusanganisira vanocherechedzwa, vatungamiri vevapostora vane simba. Vanofanira kuonekwa muAfrica, Asia, South America, nyika dzokuMadokero, uye munyika dzose. Vaapostora igadziriro yaMwari yokufambisira mberi Humambo nhasi. Sezvineiwo, vari kubuda.
Chii chikuru? Ngationei kuti izwi rekuti “mupostora” izwi rechiuto. Strong's Concordance rine tsananguro dzeshoko rekuti “muapostora” zvine chekuita nezvechiuto: “yekutumira ngarava” uye “yevamiririri neuto, rwendo.” Jesu nevanyori veTestamente Itsva vaigara pasi pehushe hweRoma. Kusarudza kwavo mashoko kwairatidza mamiriro ezvinhu echokwadi chavo. Pauro paakati Jesu aiva “muapostora watinopupura” muna VaHebheru 3: 1, akaona seri kwemamiriro ezvinhu echitendero kuti atore kubva mutsika dzepanguva iyoyo. Kutaura pamusoro pekuva muapostora kunopa mufananidzo weboka rose rezvikepe rinobuda muRoma kunokunda nyika dzokumwe.
In John 17: 18, Jesu akati, “Sezvamakandituma munyika, neniwo ndakavatuma panyika.” Shoko rechiGiriki rakashandiswa pano rokuti “kutumwa” nderekuti apostello. Iri zvakare izwi rechiuto. Nemamwe mashoko, Jesu akanga achiudza Baba Vake kuti kunyange sezvo Iye akanga aita Jesu muapostora, naizvozvo Jesu akanga achiita vadzidzi ava vaapostora kunyika. Kana maapostora akashaikwa mukereke, chimiro chesimba-zvisinei nechisimba-kufambisa Humambo hwaMwari hwaive hwakasimba mukereke yeTestamente Itsva chinoshaikwawo.
Chii chakaitika chakakonzera kuzivikanwa kwevaapostora nebasa ravo kunyangarika mukereke kwezviuru zvemakore? Patinoverenga Bhaibheri, tinoona kuti maapostora vaive musimboti wekukura nekukura kwekereke muTestamente Itsva, asi pane chakaitika. Zvirokwazvo, Rugwaro haruna kushanduka. Kana kuti rwaiva rudado here rwakaita kuti vafundisi vakawanda vagamuchire dzidziso youmwari yenguva iyo inoisa vaapostora kuzana rokutanga ramakore? Ikozvino kereke yakura zvekuti haichada mapostori nesimba ravanounza kukereke here? Ko isu (kereke) taizofunga sei kuti taigona kuzviita tisina ivo (vaapostora)?
Pane zvikonzero zvakawandisa zvekuongorora zvakadzama, asi isu tichatanga nekutarisa mashoma acho.
Chechi yakatsauka kubva pakutumwa kwayo. Kuderera kwoushumiri hwavaapostora kwakaitika sezvo basa risiri romuMagwaro rakagamuchirwa nechechi. Zvakadaro, maapostora ave kunzi mabhishopu nemamwe mazita asiri emubhaibheri. Vashanduri veKing James vakashandisa zvisizvo shoko rokuti “bhishopi” kurondedzera “vatariri vechechi.” Iyi ishanduro yakaipa, iyo pasina mubvunzo yakapesvedzerwa nechokwadi chokuti panguva iyoyo mabhishopi aiva chikamu chezvakaitika kare kare muEngland neEurope. Zvichida vatungamiri vasina kuchengeteka vaida mazita ekuremekedza. Kubva muna ikoku, dzidziso youmwari yakaipa yakakudziridzwa. Kutaura idi, tinogona kucherekedza kuti makoreji mazhinji eBhaibheri nhasi anogadza Timotio naTito se“tsamba dzoufundisi,” nepo chaizvoizvo dzakanyorwa kubva kumuapostora Pauro kuna Timotio naTito, avo vakanga vari vaapostora! Ndaza inoenderera mberi.
Chechi inotaridzika sei pasina maApostora?
Muchechi yomunzvimbomo, zvakajairika kuti zvizhinjisa zvechiito zvacho zvirongedzerwe kugovera mhoteredzo yakachengeteka yokuchengeta boka raMwari. Pasina maapostora, makereke anogona kazhinji kuva anonangana nekugadzirisa. Vaapostora vanobudirira pakukura nekukura—kwatingati “kuzunungusa guta” sezvatinoona kakawanda muMabasa eVaapostora. Chechi iri mumaitiro ekugadzirisa, zvisinei, inoshaya shuviro yevaapositori yekukura nekukura, uye pakupedzisira ine zvishoma kana kusave nemhedzisiro paguta.
Usanzwisise izvi sekushoropodzwa kwekereke. Chinonyanya kutaura chokwadi. Vafundisi vanotarisa pakuunganidza nekurera vatsvene, uye vadzidzisi vanotarisa pakukurisa vatsvene mudzidziso nemaitiro eBhaibheri. Mumufananidzo wakazara wekereke, pane kusimbiswa kwekuchengetedza izvo zvatakagamuchira. Kuchengeta hachisi chinhu chakashata, asi maererano nekutaridza basa iro Jesu akapa kukereke, kuchengetedza chete hakuzadzise zvinotarisirwa. Makereke mazhinji epanzvimbo haana pesvedzero yevaapostora, vaporofita, kana vaevhangeri kuvayeuchidza kuti vanofanira kuramba vachifambira mberi nekunze, uye kuvashongedzera kuita izvozvo chaizvo.
Mazita ezvinzvimbo zvemakereke edu emazuva ano hazvienderane zvakanyanya nezvipo zvemweya zvinotaurwa muTestamente Itsva. Vanhu vazhinji vanonzi vafundisi zvisiri izvo ivo vakazodzwa sevaapostora, vadzidzisi, kana vaevhangeri. Zvakadaro zvimwe zvipo zvehushumiri zvakavigwa seri kwemazita emukuru, bhishopi, mutungamiriri wevechidiki, mutevedzeri wemufundisi, mumishinari, mutungamiri wezvidzidzo zveBhaibheri, tirastii, zvichingodaro. Chechi yakagadzira mazita ezvinzvimbo aya kuburikidza netsika kwete kubva paShoko raMwari. Izvi hazvina kuipa kana zvakaipa, asi kereke haizoshande yakazara kusvika taona kuti zita remutungamiri rinonyatsoratidza kuzodzwa kwake.
Zvikamu zvikuru zvekereke yemazuva ano hazvina kukwanisa kugashira chokwadi chekuti vaapostora vanosvika makumi maviri nevaviri vakadomwa muTestamente Itsva. Vaporofita vemazuva ano havana kufuratirwawo, kunyange zvazvo vachitaurwa kanopfuura ka150. Hazvina kukwana kubvuma kuti kune vaapositori nevaporofita pandima yemishoni pane imwe nzvimbo. Kana tisingatarisiri kuva nevaapositori pakati pedu, kuvaziva, uye kunyange kuvasimbisa, hatizovaoni mukereke. Kana tikavaona, vanenge varipo pahwaro hwakaganhurirwa uye vangasashanda. Rudzi rwose, dunhu rega rega, nesangano rose raMwari rinoda vaapositori nevaporofita—pamwe chete nezvimwe zvipo zvinomiririrwa muhushumiri hushanu—kushongedza mutendi wose kuti aite basa rehushumiri.
Chechi Inotaridzika Sei neVaapostora?
Vaapostora vanopa chiono chokuwedzera kwoUmambo. Zvichida mukana unoshamisa wehutungamiri hwevapostora chiratidzo chavanoisa mukereke kuti iwedzere. Vaapostora vanoraramira kupayona mabasa matsva. Semapiyona, vanotaura kusagutsikana kutsvene nezviri kuitwa iye zvino uye chido chokutanga migove mitsva inobva kuna Ishe. Pauro akazvipira kuenda kunzvimbo isingazivikanwi kuti auye nevhangeri uye kutanga makereke. Pesvedzero yemuapositori inounza kusimbiswa pakupa vatsvene simba uye kuvasunungura mukukohwa.
Vaapostora vavakiwo. Nemhaka yekuti vanoda kuvaka zvakanaka, vanowanzotarisa pakugadzira nheyo yakasimba. Vanoda kuti machechi nehushumiri hurambe huripo. Nokuda kweichi chikonzero, pasinei zvapo nokuva nechido zvikuru chokuwedzera, vaapostora vanovaka nheyo dzakasimba dzedzidziso. Somuenzaniso, Bhanabhasi naPauro vakapedza gore ravo rokutanga paAntiokia vachidzidzisa, vachiisa hwaro hwomudzimu muvatendi.Mabasa 11: 25-26) Dzidziso yakaitika mugore iroro rose yakava nheyo yakabvumira kereke yeAntiokia kuva imwe yenzvimbo huru dzokudyara makereke munguva yose.
Vana vemweya vanomutswa nevapostora vanova vatungamiriri. Pauro akabereka Timotio navamwe vatendi vazhinji vakava vatungamiri mukereke.1Timoti 1:2) Vatungamiri vevaApostora vanogadzira vatungamiriri vatsva uye vanoramba vakabatana navo muhukama hwemamishinari. Mumwe wezviono zvikuru zvavaapostora zveBhaibheri musangano waPauro wokupedzisira soubaba navakuru veEfeso.
Vaapostora vanounza simba nekudzika mumunamato. Kugona kwaPauro kutaura nezvezvinhu zvemweya kunoratidzwa mubhuku raMabasa. Tinoona humbowo hweizvi mukati Mabasa 19: 6, Mabasa 16: 25-34, uye Mabasa 14: 8-10. Muna VaEfeso, tinoona Pauro achidzidzisa kereke yeEfeso muhondo yemweya. Hutungamiri hwevaApostora hunotakura nekwaniso yakasimbiswa yekutora masimba munzvimbo yemweya kuburikidza neMweya Mutsvene. Izvi zvinounza kupiwa kwakadzama kune avo vari kudzidziswa mukurarama kunoshamisa.
Nei Vaapostora Vakarongerwa naMwari Kufambisira mberi Umambo
Vaapostora vanonzwa vaine mutoro wokupedza basa rakapiwa naJesu Kristu kuchechi. Dzimwe nguva vanoita sekunge hapana mumwe munhu ari kubatsira nebasa guru. Ndiko kuzvipira kwavo. Pasi pesimba revapostora, kereke yepanzvimbo inova nzvimbo yekudzidzisa nekutumira kuzadzikisa Kutumwa kukuru.
Vaapostora vanotakura chido chezviri kuitwa naMwari pasi rose uye vanoshuvira kuona kuti kereke yepanzvimbo ingatora sei chikamu mubasa raMwari pasi rose. Vanobatsira kubatanidza vanhu vemo kukufamba kukuru kwaMwari. Vanonzwisisa uye vanotaura kukosha kwekuve chikamu chechiono chinofamba kupfuura pesvedzero yenzvimbo. Kana vatungamiriri vevaapositori vakakomberedzwa nezvikwata zvevaapositori, vanozove nehwaro hwemabasa avanoda kumutsa nekusunungura vatsvene kuti vakanganisa maguta nematunhu, vachibata mativi ese enzanga.
Zvinhu Zvitatu Zvinokosha
Pane zvinhu zvitatu zvakakosha zvechero basa revapostora: mutumwa, anotumwa, uye mishoni.
Izvi tinozviona panhaurirano pakati paMwari naMosesi apo Mosesi akagamuchira kudanwa kwake kuti atungamirire vana vaIsraeri kubva muuranda. Mosesi mufananidzo wemupostora muTestamente Yekare. Aiziva kuti paaizoenda kuvanhu kunotsanangura basa rake, vaizova nemubvunzo mumwe chete wokuti: “Ndiani akutumai?” Iwoyo mubvunzo unechekuita nechiremera cheuapositori. Aiziva kuti vanhu vaizoda kunzwisisa kuti ndiani akanga amutuma uye kwaakanga atumwa.
Ichi ndicho chekutanga chezvinyorwa zvatichadzidza pamusoro pevaapositori nebasa ravo mukereke nhasi. Tarisira mienzaniso yakawanda nekujekesa kukuru pamusoro pevaapositori nebasa ravo mukereke. Nyaya inotevera ichataura nezvevaapostora vemazuva ano.
