Shoko raMwari nderechokwadi. Mwari haatomborevi nhema. Mwari akaudza Adhamu kuti aizotuma Musanangurwa wake kuti azokunda Satani. Akayambira Noa kuti aizoparadza vose vakanga vakaipa. Mwari akaratidza Jobho kuti anoda kuti tive tiite zvakanyanyisa kutinakira. Akaratidza Abhurahama kuti anochengeta zvivimbiso zvake nguva dzose.

Jesu akati akura akava murume mukuru, akadzidzisa vanhu nzira dzaMwari. Jesu akaita zvishamiso zvakawanda kuti aratidze kuti akanga abva kuna Mwari. Asi vanhu havana kutenda kwaari. Vakauraya Jesu nokumuroverera pamuchinjikwa wamatanda. Murwi akamubaya padivi nepfumo kuti ave nechokwadi kuti akanga afa.

Mwari akaudza Adhamu kuti aizofa kana akadya kubva pamuti. Tose hatina kuteerera Mwari uye tinofanira kufa nokusingaperi. Unoyeuka kuti Mwari akapa gondohwe kuna Abhurahama kuti ariuraye sechibayiro pachinzvimbo chaIsaka. Nenzira imwe cheteyo Mwari, kunze kwokutongera vanhu vose rufu rwokusingaperi, akapa Mwanakomana wake mumwe woga, Jesu, kuti afe sechibayiro chezvivi zvavanhu vose. Hongu, chivi chedu chakatiparadzanisa naMwari. Jesu ndiye nzira yokudzokera nayo kuna Mwari.

Mufananidzo 24: Jesu Mupenyu

Johani 20:19-29

Shamwari dzaJesu dzakaisa mutumbi wake muguva. Akava muguva kwamazuva matatu. Ipapo akamuka kubva kuvakafa. Rufu haruna kugona kusunga Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari. Jesu akazviratidza kuvadzidzi vake uye akamira pakati pavo. Vose vakashamiswa. Mumwe mudzidzi ainzi Tomasi, akanga asipo pamwe chete navamwe, Jesu paakauya kwavari. Tomasi akati kwavari, "Kunze kwokunge ndaona mavanga ezvipikiri mumaoko ake uye ndikaisa munwe wangu pakanga pane zvipikiri, uye ndikaisa ruoko rwangu parutivi rwake, handingatendi."
Mushure mevhiki, Jesu akazviratidza zvakare kwavari. Tarisa mufananidzo. Jesu akaratidza Tomasi mavanga ezvipikiri mumaoko ake uye akaudza Tomasi kuti aise maoko ake padivi rake. Ipapo kuna Tomasi akati, "Rega kukahadzika uye utende." Jesu akatiwo, "... vakaropafadzwa avo vasina kuona asi vakatenda."

Hatifaniri kuva saTomasi akakahadzika pamusoro pezvakaitwa naMwari. Yeuka kuti Mwari akati kuna Adhamu aizotuma mumwe aizokunda Satani. Jesu paakafa pamuchinjikwa uye akamuka kubva kuvakafa, akakunda Satani. Satani haana simba pamusoro pavanhu vanotenda kuna Jesu, vanovimba naye uye vanomuteerera. Izvi ndizvo chaizvo zvakavimbiswawo Abhurahama naMwari. Mwari akamuvimbisa kuti ndudzi dzose panyika pano dzaizoropafadzwa kubudikidza naye. Maropafadzo aya ndeokuti: tinogona kuponeswa kubva kuchivi chedu uye tigogara naMwari nokusingaperi. Maropafadzo aya akauya kubudikidza naJesu. Tinogona kugamuchira maropafadzo aya kana tikatenda kuna Jesu uye tikateerera Shoko rake.
