“Yesu anayankha kuti, ‘Ine ndine njira, choonadi ndi moyo. Palibe amene amafika kwa Atate osadzera mwa ine” (Yohane 14:6). Baibulo limafotokoza kwambiri za Mwana wa Mulungu. Iye ndiye mbali yaikulu m’Malemba kuyambira kuchiyambi mpaka kumapeto. M’Chipangano Chakale Iye ndi Mesiya woloseredwa wofunidwa ndipo akuimiridwa ndi nsembe zanyama za mitundu ndi mithunzi ya Alevi. Mu Chipangano Chatsopano Iye ndiye kuunika koona ndi choonadi cha Mulungu, ndi chenicheni cha mitundu yonse ya Chipangano Chakale.

Pa Yohane 8:12 Yesu anati, “Ine ndine kuunika kwa dziko lapansi. Iye wonditsata Ine sadzayenda mumdima, koma adzakhala nako kuunika kwa moyo. Yesu asanakwere kumwamba, analonjeza kuti Atate wake adzatumiza mzimu woyera kwa ophunzira ake kuti ukawatsogolere m’choonadi chonse. “Koma akadzafika Iyeyo, Mzimu wa choonadi, adzatsogolera inu m’chowonadi chonse. Sadzalankhula pa yekha; adzalankhula zokhazo zimene wamva, ndipo adzakuuzani zimene zirinkudza.” ( Yohane 16:13 ) Adzakuuzani zimene zikubwera. Pa Yohane 8:32 ndi 36 timaŵerenga kuti: “Mudzazindikira chowonadi, ndipo chowonadi chidzakumasulani..... Chotero ngati Mwana adzakumasulani, mudzakhala mfulu ndithu. Pa Yohane 6:28, 29 timaŵerenga kuti, “Ndipo anamfunsa iye, Tichite chiyani kuti tichite ntchito (zambiri) zimene Mulungu amafuna?

Yesu anayankha kuti, ‘Ntchito (yaumodzi) ya Mulungu ndi iyi: kukhulupirira Iye amene anamutuma.’” Choncho, ndi pa maziko a choonadi chimenechi pamene timapeza maziko ndi mfundo zodziŵira Mulungu ndi zolinga zake. .

Mtumwi Paulo analemba mu 2 Tim. 3:16) “Lemba lililonse adaliuzira Mulungu, lipindulitsa pa chiphunzitso, chitsutsano, chikonzero, chilangizo cha m’chilungamo.”

Tikukhala m’tsiku la chinyengo chachikulu. Chikhristu chikuwukiridwa mbali zonse. Mabuku a Nyengo Yatsopano ndi nyimbo zokhala ndi uthenga wawo wobisika waumunthu zingapezedwe mowonekera pafupifupi pafupifupi sitolo iliyonse ya mabuku. Ngakhale ambiri m’Chikristu ayamba kuvomereza filosofi yadziko yakuti kulibe mtheradi wa makhalidwe. Kuchotsa mimba sikumachitidwa kokha ndi omwe si Akristu okha. Anthu amene akukhala limodzi kunja kwa ukwati amaphatikizapo ambiri amene amati ndi Akristu. Ecumenism yatenga pafupifupi zipembedzo zonse zachikunja pamodzi ndi Chikhristu. Ambiri adakokeredwa ku ziphunzitso za Kum'mawa za kusinkhasinkha, yoga, kuyimba ndi miyambo yofananira yomwe imakonda kuwongolera malingaliro. Satana ali ndi tsiku la kumunda ndipo akusangalala kwambiri ndi kupambana kwake. Mkristu ayenera kukhala wosamala kwambiri. 2 Ates. 2:3, 4 amatiuza kuti: “Musalole kuti wina akunyengeni m’njira ina iliyonse; Iye adzatsutsa, nadzadzikuza pamwamba pa chilichonse chotchedwa Mulungu, kapena chopembedzedwa, kotero kuti kudziika yekha m’Kachisi wa Mulungu, nadzinenera yekha kuti ndiye Mulungu. Inde, Satana, “atate wake wa mabodza” ( Yohane 8:44 ), akali wokangalika kwambiri. Mtumwi Yohane amatipatsa uphungu wabwino kwambiri pa 1 Yohane 4:1-3 : “Okondedwa, musakhulupirire mzimu uliwonse, koma yesani mizimuyo ngati ichokera kwa Mulungu; + 13 Umu ndi mmene mungazindikire mzimu wa Mulungu: mzimu uliwonse umene umavomereza kuti Yesu Khristu anadza m’thupi ndi wochokera kwa Mulungu, koma mzimu uliwonse umene suvomereza Yesu si wochokera kwa Mulungu. Uwu ndiwo mzimu wa wokana Kristu, umene munamva kuti ukubwera, ndipo ngakhale tsopano uli kale m’dziko.”

Kuti munthu apeze choonadi cha m’Baibulo, amafunikira kuona mtima, kudzichepetsa, kufatsa ndi mtima wofunitsitsa, womasuka zimene zingam’chititse kutaya maganizo amene anali nawo kale. Akristu aja amene timawaŵerenga pa Machitidwe 17:11 anasonyeza maganizo oyenerera ofikira pa chidziŵitso chomvekera bwino cha chowonadi: “Koma Abereya anali a makhalidwe abwino koposa Atesalonika; tsiku lina kuti tione ngati zimene Paulo ananena zinali zoona.” Uphungu wina wabwino ukupezeka mu 1 Ates. 5:21 : “Yesani zinthu zonse; gwiritsitsani chomwe chili chabwino.

Choonadi chingapezeke mwa Yesu Kristu yekha. Yesu wavumbulira Mulungu kwa ife. Iye anati: “Ngati wandiona, waona Atate.” ( Yohane 14:9 ) Iye anati: 1 Akor. 1:30 akuti, “Ndi chifukwa cha iye (Mulungu) kuti muli mwa Khristu Yesu, amene wakhala kwa ife nzeru zochokera kwa Mulungu, ndiko kuti chilungamo chathu, chiyeretso ndi chiombolo.” Mtumwi Paulo anazindikira zimenezi ndipo anaika maganizo ake onse pa Yesu. Awa ndi mawu ake mu 1 Akor. 2:2 : “Pakuti ndinatsimikiza mtima kusadziŵa kanthu pokhala ndi inu, koma Yesu Kristu, ndi Iye wopachikidwa.”

Yesu ndiye gwero la nzeru zonse za Mulungu. Iye analonjeza okhulupirira Ake Mzimu Woyera umene udzaululira kwa iwo zinthu zozama za Mulungu. Pa 1 Yohane 2:27 timaŵerenga kuti: “Koma inu, kudzoza kumene munalandira kwa Iye kukukhala mwa inu, ndipo simusowa kuti wina akuphunzitseni; Koma monga kudzoza kwake kukuphunzitsani za zinthu zonse, ndipo kudzozako kuli kwenikweni, osati konyenga, monga anakuphunzitsani, khalani mwa iye. Tiyeni tonse tifunefune CHOONADI mwa Yesu yekha!

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6). The Bible finds its focus on the Son of God. He is the main feature from beginning to end in the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is the sought-for prophesied Messiah and is pictured in the animal sacrifices of the Levitical types and shadows. In the New Testament He is the true light and truth of God, and the reality of all the Old Testament types.

In John 8:12 Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He promised that He would have His Father send the Holy Spirit to His disciples that would guide them into all truth. “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come” (John 16:13). In John 8:32 and 36 we read, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.....So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” In John 6:28, 29 we read, “Then they asked him, ‘What must we do to do the works (plural) God requires?’

Jesus answered, ‘The work (singular) of God is this -- to believe in the one he has sent.’” It is on the foundation of this truth, then, that we find the basis and substance for knowing God and His purposes.

The Apostle Paul states in 2 Tim. 3:16 (ASV), “Every Scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.”

We are living in the day of great deceptions. Christianity is under attack on all fronts. New Age books and music with their subtle humanistic message can be found prominently displayed in almost every book store. Even many in Christianity have come to accept the world’s philosophy that there are no moral absolutes. Abortion is not just practiced by non-Christians alone. Those living together outside of marriage include many who claim to be Christians. Ecumenism has embraced almost all heathen religions along with Christianity. Many have been drawn into the Eastern teachings of trans-meditation, yoga, chanting and similar rituals that tend toward mind control. Satan is having a field day and is overjoyed with his success. How cautious the Christian needs to be. 2 Thess. 2:3, 4 tells us, “Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.” Yes, Satan, the “father of lies” (John 8:44), is still very active. The Apostle John gives us very good advice in 1 John 4:1-3: “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.”

To gain Biblical truth, one needs honesty, humility, meekness and a willing, open mind which may result in having to discard some preconceived ideas. Those Christians that we read about in Acts 17:11 showed the proper mindset for coming to a clear knowledge of truth: “Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Another good word of advice is found in 1 Thess. 5:21: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”

The truth can be found in Jesus Christ alone. Jesus has revealed God to us. He said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father” (John 14:9). 1 Cor. 1:30 states, “It is because of him (God) that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God -- that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” The Apostle Paul realized this and was totally focused on Jesus. These are his words in 1 Cor. 2:2: “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”

Jesus is indeed the source of all godly wisdom. He promised His believers the Holy Spirit that would reveal to them the deep things of God. In 1 John 2:27 we read, “As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit -- just as it has taught you, remain in him.” May we all seek TRUTH in Jesus alone!
