\u201c"Kwa hiyo mimi, niliye mfungwa wa Bwana, nawasihi mwende kama inavyostahili wito wenu mlioitiwa; kwa unyenyekevu wote na upole, kwa uvumilivu, mkichukuliana katika upendo; na kujitahidi kuuhifadhi umoja wa Roho katika kifungo cha amani."\u201d<\/em>
Waefeso 4:1-3<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Unyenyekevu ni unyenyekevu katika vitendo! Unyenyekevu wa kweli huwawezesha waumini kuweka kando kiburi na kuwakumbatia wengine kama watu sawa, wakionyesha tabia ya Kristo. Wafilipi 2:1-4 inatutia moyo kuwathamini wengine kuliko sisi wenyewe na kuzingatia maslahi yao kuliko yetu: "Kwa hiyo ikiwa kuna faraja yoyote katika Kristo, ikiwa kuna faraja yoyote ya upendo, ikiwa kuna ushirika wowote wa Roho, ikiwa kuna huruma na rehema, ijazeni furaha yangu, kwa kuwa na nia moja, wenye upendo mmoja, wenye nia moja, wenye nia moja. Msitende neno lolote kwa ubinafsi au kwa majivuno; bali kwa unyenyekevu, kila mtu na amhesabu mwenziwe kuwa bora kuliko nafsi yake. Kila mtu na aangalie si mambo yake mwenyewe tu, bali pia mambo ya wengine."\u201c<\/p>

Huu ni onyesho zuri la upendo wa kweli, kama Kristo. Upendo huu wa kimungu ndio kifungo kinachounganisha kila kitu pamoja katika umoja mkamilifu: "Lakini zaidi ya hayo yote jivikeni upendo, ndio kifungo cha ukamilifu" (Wakolosai 3:14).<\/p>

Upendo huu usio na masharti, usio na ubinafsi\u2014unaojulikana kama agap\u0113<\/em>\u2014huweka kipaumbele ustawi wa wengine kuliko maslahi yao binafsi. Wakorintho wa Kwanza 13 inasisitiza umuhimu wa kuwapenda wengine kikamilifu kama Bwana Yesu alivyoamuru, hata wakati ni changamoto.<\/p>

Lakini ikiwa kutakuwa na umoja na upendo wa kweli miongoni mwa waumini, lazima pia kuwe na msamaha. Migogoro isiyotatuliwa na kutosamehe ni vikwazo vikubwa vya umoja. Maandiko yanatuhimiza kuweka kipaumbele upatanisho na msamaha wakati mgogoro unapotokea: "Mkichukuliana, na kusameheana, mtu akiwa na sababu ya kumlaumu mwenzake; kama Kristo alivyowasamehe ninyi, vivyo nanyi" (Wakolosai 3:13).<\/p>

Hatuachiwi bila maagizo\u2014Kristo anatupa mfano wa kibiblia wa kutatua migogoro katika Mathayo 5:23\u201326 na 18:15\u201317. Unyenyekevu, upendo, na msamaha vinapotawala mahusiano yetu, umoja hauwezekani tu\u2014unakuwa ushuhuda wenye nguvu wa neema ya Mungu inayofanya kazi katika maisha yetu.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:
<\/strong>Kuwa tayari kufanya mazoezi ya unyenyekevu, upendo, na msamaha. Fanya mazoezi ya umoja!<\/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":"
