\u201c"Enenda kwa busara uendapo nyumbani kwa Mungu; na kukaribia kusikiliza kuliko kutoa kafara ya wapumbavu; kwa maana hawajui ya kuwa watenda mabaya. Usiwe na haraka kwa kinywa chako, wala moyo wako usitaje neno lolote mbele za Mungu. Kwa maana Mungu yuko mbinguni, na wewe upo duniani; kwa hiyo maneno yako na yawe machache. Kwa maana ndoto huja kwa matendo mengi, na sauti ya mpumbavu hujulikana kwa maneno yake mengi."\u201d
Mhubiri 5:1\u20133<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Sulemani anageuza mawazo yake kwa mwanadamu na ibada yake, na anatoa ushauri mzuri sana wa kumkaribia Mungu. Kwanza, anazungumzia mwenendo wetu; kisha anazungumzia mazungumzo yetu mbele za Mungu.<\/p>

Kuhusu mwenendo wetu, mwenendo wetu ni kuwa waangalifu. Hii ina wazo la kulinda au kuhifadhi. Tunaweza kuuliza swali, "Kuhifadhi nini?" Jibu ni: kuhifadhi heshima na tabia ya Yule tunayemkaribia. Sulemani anatuonya dhidi ya kuwa na mtazamo wa kawaida tunapokuja mbele za Mungu mtakatifu. Hatupaswi kamwe kuwa wazembe, wazembe, au wasio na heshima. Angalia jinsi Sulemani anavyowaelezea watu kama hao: kama wale wanaotoa dhabihu ya wapumbavu, kama wale wanaotenda uovu, na kama wale walio na haraka na wenye haraka.<\/p>

Mara mbili anawaelezea kama wapumbavu. Neno mjinga<\/em> Hapa kuna wazo la mtu anayefurahia kutoelewa. Linaelezea mtu ambaye haelewi Mungu ni nani na ambaye amesahau yeye mwenyewe ni nani. Ni rahisi, katika mazingira ya leo ya kuzoea na kutojali, kusahau kwamba tunapoabudu, tunamkaribia Mungu wa ulimwengu\u2014Muumba, mjuzi wa yote, mtakatifu ambaye ametukomboa kwake.<\/p>

Sulemani anatuonya kuhusu njia yetu ya kumkaribia Mungu katika ibada. Hata katika siku hii ya neema ambayo mimi na wewe tunaishi, kunapaswa kuwa na heshima tunapomkaribia. Hatupaswi kumtendea kwa uzito kile kilicho kitakatifu, au zaidi kwa uhakika, Yeye aliye mtakatifu. Ingawa pazia limepasuka kutoka juu hadi chini, na kuturuhusu kuingia mbele Yake, ni lazima tufanye hivyo \u201ckwa uthabiti kamili wa imani, mioyo yetu ikiwa imenyunyiziwa dhamiri mbaya na miili yetu ikiwa imeoshwa kwa maji safi\u201d (Ebr. 10:19\u201322).<\/p>

Tunapoingia katika uwepo wake mtakatifu, ni lazima tukumbuke kwamba Bwana Yesu si "Kuhani Mkuu juu ya nyumba ya Mungu" tu, bali pia Mwana juu ya nyumba hiyo hiyo (Ebr. 3:6). Kila kitu kinachofanywa mbele yake kinapaswa kufanywa kwa mamlaka Yake, haki Zake, na utakatifu Wake akilini.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Tuna pendeleo la kumkaribia Mungu, lakini kila pendeleo huja na uwajibikaji.<\/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":"
