Aliondoka Yudea akaenda zake tena Galilaya. Lakini alihitaji kupitia Samaria. Basi akafika katika mji wa Samaria uitwao Sikari, karibu na shamba ambalo Yakobo alimpa mwanawe Yusufu\u2026 Mwanamke Msamaria akaja kuteka maji. Yesu akamwambia, \u201cNipe maji ninywe.\u201d Kwa maana wanafunzi wake walikuwa wamekwenda mjini kununua chakula. Ndipo yule mwanamke Msamaria akamwambia, \u201cImekuwaje wewe Myahudi kuniomba maji ninywe, mimi mwanamke Msamaria?\u201d Kwa maana Wayahudi hawana uhusiano wowote na Wasamaria.
Yohana 4:3\u20135, 7\u20139<\/strong>
<\/em><\/p>


Kukutana huku na Kristo ni jambo la thamani sana. Kunatukumbusha kwamba haijalishi historia yako imeharibika kiasi gani, kamwe haiko mbali na Mungu mwenye upendo na neema.<\/p>

Mwanamke Msamaria aliyekutana na Bwana Yesu kwenye kisima cha Sikari alikuja tu kuteka maji. Huenda alikuja na vyungu vitupu\u2014ishara za maisha yake mwenyewe: vitupu na vikavu. Alikuwa akitafuta upendo na kukubalika, akiwa amejaribu uhusiano baada ya uhusiano\u2014waume watano na sasa akiishi na mwanamume ambaye hakuwa mume wake (4:17\u201318). Kila tukio lilimwacha na hamu ile ile isiyotimizwa ndani ya moyo wake.<\/p>

Sasa anakutana na Mwanamume mwingine\u2014lakini huyu ni tofauti. Yuko tayari kuvuka kila kizuizi cha rangi na kijamii. Ingawa alikuwa mwanamume Myahudi, Alimwomba kinywaji, mwanamke Msamaria mwenye historia yenye matatizo. Hili lilimchanganya sana. Lakini aliweza kutambua kwamba Mwanamume huyu alikuwa tofauti\u2014kwa jinsi alivyomtazama, na kwa jinsi alivyozungumza naye. Hakuzingatia vikwazo vya rangi au hadhi ya kijamii; badala yake, Aliangalia moja kwa moja moyoni mwake na kuzungumza kuhusu hitaji lake la ndani kabisa.<\/p>

\u201cYesu akajibu, akamwambia, Kama ungalijua karama ya Mungu, na ni nani akuambiaye, Nipe maji ninywe, ungalimwomba, naye angalikupa maji yaliyo hai\u2018 (4:10).<\/p>

Maneno yake yalimchanganya zaidi: \u201cBwana, huna kitu cha kutekea, na kisima ni kirefu. Basi unapata wapi maji hayo yaliyo hai?\u201d Alijaribu kubadilisha mada, akizungumzia tofauti za dini na ibada, lakini Bwana Yesu aliendelea kuzingatia hitaji la moyo wake:<\/p>

\u201c"Yeyote atakayekunywa maji haya ataona kiu tena; lakini ye yote atakayekunywa maji nitakayompa hataona kiu milele; lakini maji nitakayompa yatakuwa ndani yake chemchemi ya maji, yakibubujikia uzima wa milele."\u201d<\/p>

Aliendelea kuzungumzia ibada, na Bwana akamkumbusha\u2014na kila msomaji\u2014kwamba sote tumeumbwa kwa kusudi hilo. Lakini ibada ya kweli haipatikani katika dini; inapatikana katika uhusiano na Mungu aliye hai\u2014Yule aliyemuumba.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Bwana Yesu ndiye pekee aliyeweza kujaza utupu uliokuwa moyoni mwa mwanamke huyu, na Yeye pekee ndiye aliyeweza kujaza utupu uliokuwa moyoni mwako.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
