Inyandiko y'Ibyanditswe: Luka 17: 1-6
Umurongo wo Kwibuka: “Umuvandimwe wagiriwe nabi arusha umujyi ukomeye gukomera, kandi impaka zabo zimeze nk'ibyuma by'ingoro.” Imigani 18:19
Isomo Intego: Kugaragaza: (1) ibibi byo kubika icyaha; na (2) uburyo dushobora gutsinda amakosa.
Kugirango intego yubu bushakashatsi, ijambo tuzakoresha mubyaha ni ukubabarira. Kubabarirana ni ukwihorera kutuzuye. Nintwaro imwe izwi cyane kandi itesha umutwe umwanzi akoresha kurwanya ubwoko bw'Imana. Nimwe muburozi bwica umuntu ashobora gufata muburyo bwumwuka. Umuntu udashobora kubabarira agereranwa na kontineri ya aside. Umuntu ni kontineri na aside ni icyaha cyangwa kutababarira.
Kubabarira byasobanuwe na Worthington na bagenzi be (Worthington, Sandage, & Berry, 2000; Worthington & Wade, 1999) nk'uruvange rw'amarangamutima mabi yatinze (urugero, inzika, umururazi, urwango, inzangano, umujinya, n'ubwoba) ku barenga. Mu byingenzi, kutababarira bifatwa nkigisubizo cyingutu hamwe ningaruka zubuzima. Mu gihe ibimenyetso bya siyansi byerekana isano iri hagati yo kutababarira n’ubuzima bw’umubiri bidahari, abantu bavuze ko bakize indwara z’umubiri nyuma yo kubabarira. Ingero ebyiri nugukiza ibisebe byuruhu hamwe numuvuduko ukabije wamaraso.
Nta gushidikanya, kutababarira bizanwa nigiciro cyinshi cyumwuka. Kubabarira: 1) bibuza Imana kubabarira ibyaha byacu (Matayo 6:15); 2) idukingurira abatoteza (satani) (Matayo 18: 31-34); 3) ibuza Imana gusubiza amasengesho yacu (Mariko 11: 24-25); 4) araduhumanya (Abaheburayo 12:15); 5) biha Satani akarusho (2 Abakorinto 2: 10-11); 6) bitubuza kwinjira mu bwami bw'Imana (Matayo 7:12, 21); 7) bitubuza kwera mu mwuka (Yohana 15: 5); na 8) idukingurira imivumo (Gutegeka 27:26).
Ariko inshingano zacu ni ukubabarira abandi. Dufatiye ku buryo bwa kamere, dushobora guhitamo kubabarira cyangwa kutababarira, ariko nk'abakristo, mu byukuri nta kundi twabigenza uretse kubabarira - ni itegeko ryatanzwe n'Imana Data. Imana yohereje Umwana wayo, Yesu ngo apfe kubwibyaha byacu, kugirango twiyunge na We, nta mwanya cyangwa inenge. Icyo asaba ni uko duha abandi imbabazi zimwe zishyuye ibyaha byacu.
Urukundo dukunda Imana rurakemangwa iyo tudashobora kubabarira. Kutababarira bigaragaza ko tudakunda Yesu by'ukuri. Yohana 14:24 hagira hati: “Utankunda ntabwo yitondera amagambo yanjye…” naho Yohana 14:15 hagira hati: “Niba munkunda, nimwitondere amategeko yanjye”. Kutababarira nabyo bigaragaza ko tudakunda abavandimwe bacu. Muri Yohana 15:12, Yesu adutegeka gukundana, nk'uko yadukunze. Urukundo nyakuri ntirugira umujinya cyangwa kutababarira undi. Niba tubabaye cyangwa tukagirira umuntu nabi, ntabwo tubakunda nk'uko Kristo yadukunze. Niba tutubahiriza amategeko ya Yesu, bigaragaza ko natwe tutamukunda.
Kurekura Kubabarira
Mubindi bintu, nko gukunda Imana no kumva ko mugihe cyicyaha, ari umwanzi kukazi ntabwo ari uwagukoshereje, ibintu bibiri bigomba kuba bihari kugirango twirinde kubabarirwa: (1) kumvira Imana uko byagenda kose; na (2) umuntu utagira kirengera.
- Umvire Ijambo ry'Imana – Imana yaduhaye amabwiriza asobanutse neza yerekeye ibyo tugomba gukora kugira ngo tubabarire abanzi bacu. Amwe muri yo ni aya: Sengera abanzi bawe n'abagukorera nabi kandi bakagukoresha nabi (Matayo 5:44). Uhe umugisha ntukavume abanzi bawe (Abaroma 12:14). Shaka urukundo (Imigani 17:9). Shaka amahoro (Zaburi 34:14). Umuti nyakuri wo kutababarira ni urukundo ruzira uburyarya kandi rudahumanye dukunda Imana. Niba dukunda Imana bihagije, tuzayumvira, nubwo byaba bibabaza.
- 2. Reka kwirwanaho – Iyo dusubiye inyuma tukareba ayo marangamutima yose—ameze neza kandi atari meza—ibyibanda kuri twe. Mu gihe cy'amarangamutima mabi, akenshi tuba twirinze ububabare n'imibabaro. Ntabwo turi abacu (1 Abakorinto 6:20; 7:23). Turi ab'Imana Data kandi irashoboye kutwitaho. Ibitekerezo byayo kuri twe ni byiza. Rero, nubwo byagaragara ko bigoye, tugomba gukora nk'aho nta burenganzira dufite. Tugomba kuba abantu badafite kirengera kandi tukareka Imana ikarwana intambara zacu. Yesu yatweretse ibi (Yesaya 53:7 na Matayo 26:63) kandi atwitezeho ko natwe tubikora.
Intambwe ebyiri zinyongera zikurikira ningirakamaro mu guca ukubiri no kutababarira:
(1) Hitamo— Kubabarira ni itegeko riva ku Mana, bityo amahitamo yacu yonyine ni ukubabarira. Ariko, ntidushobora kubabarira tudafashijwe na Mwuka Muziranenge. Kubabarira ni igikorwa cy'ubushake. Nitutemera Umwuka Wera ngo adukorere ku rwego rw'ubushake bwacu, tuzarakara gusa kandi twicuza. Ntituzigera tubabarira nidutegereza kugeza igihe tubyifuje. Igandukire Imana kandi ukomeze kurwanya Satani mu kugerageza kugutera ibitekerezo bibi. Nidufata icyemezo cyo kubabarira, Imana izakiza amarangamutima yacu yakomeretse mu gihe gikwiye (Matayo 6:12-14).
(2) Twishingikirize ku Mwuka Wera—Ntidushobora kubabarira tudakoresheje imbaraga z'Umwuka Wera zikorera muri twe. Niba koko tubikunze, Imana izadushoboza, ariko tugomba kwicisha bugufi no kuyitakambira ngo idufashe. Birashishikaje cyane kuba muri Yohana 20:22-23, Yesu amaze guhumeka ku bigishwa maze akavuga ati “Mwakire Umwuka Wera!”, amabwiriza ye akurikiraho yari ajyanye no kubabarira abandi. Tugomba gusaba Imana kuduhumekera Umwuka Wera kugira ngo tubashe kubabarira abatugiriye nabi.
Fatanya n'Ijambo ry'Imana:
- Muganire kubisobanuro nibisobanuro by "kwihorera bituzuye". Nigute icyaha cyakemuwe ninyuguti zikurikira: Esawu (Itangiriro 27:41; 33: 1-4); Yozefu (Itangiriro 43: 19-34); n'umwami runaka (Matayo 18: 23-35)?
- Kuki tugomba kubabarira mugihe twarenganijwe, cyane cyane n'abavandimwe bacu, inshuti magara, cyangwa abo mu muryango? Matayo 6:12, 14-15; Abefeso 4:32; Luka 23:34
- Soma Abaroma 12:14. Ni ubuhe busobanuro bwo “guha umugisha” muri iki gice?
- Suzuma ibi bikurikira, “Uyu muntu yarambabaje inshuro nyinshi, kandi ubu sinshobora kumubabarira.” Yesu avuga iki kuriyi mitekerereze? Matayo 18: 21-22
- Uburakari, kubabaza, no kutababarirana biratandukanye? Kubera iki? Kuki? Muganire ku buryo bishobora guhuzwa.
