\u201cKisha Petro akamwendea, akasema, \u2018Bwana, ndugu yangu anikose mara ngapi nami nimsamehe? Hata mara saba?\u2019 Yesu akamwambia, \u2018Sikuambii, hata mara saba, bali hata mara sabini na saba.\u2019\u201d
Mathayo 18:21-22<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Katika Mathayo 18, Bwana wetu hakutupa tu mfano wa kushughulika na wale waliotukosea, bali pia alituwekea mfano wa kusamehe. Petro aliuliza swali ambalo labda wengi wetu tumejiuliza: Ni mara ngapi ninapaswa kumsamehe mtu aliyenikosea? Petro alifikiri mara saba zingekuwa uvumilivu wa kutosha kuonyesha kwa mkosaji. Lakini Bwana anajibu, si mara saba, bali sabini mara saba. Petro aliposikia 490, lazima alifikiria, \u201cNani angeweza kuhesabu makosa mengi hivyo?\u201d Lakini hiyo ndiyo hoja! Unapomsamehe mtu mara nyingi hivyo, unakuwa na tabia ya kusamehe!<\/p>

Ili kuonyesha hoja yake, Bwana wetu anasimulia mfano kuhusu mtumishi aliyekuwa na deni kubwa kwa mfalme. Hakuweza kulipa deni lake, na mfalme angemchukua yeye, familia yake, na vyote alivyouza ili alipe. Mtu huyo alimsihi mfalme awe na subira naye na akaahidi kulipa deni lake. Mfalme alionyesha huruma na hata akamsamehe deni lake. Lakini mtumishi huyu kisha akatoka na kumkamata mtu aliyekuwa na deni lake dogo sana kwa kulinganisha. Mfalme aliposikia alichofanya mtu huyu, aliamuru akabidhiwe kwa watesaji.<\/p>

Mfano huu si kuhusu wokovu bali unahusu kusameheana! Unatukumbusha kila mmoja wetu kwamba tumesamehewa deni ambalo hatungeweza kulipa na kwamba tunapaswa kuwa tayari kusamehe madeni ya wengine. Tulikuwa tumemkosea Mungu mtakatifu na mwenye haki, lakini alionyesha upendo wake kwetu kwa kuwa tulipokuwa bado wenye dhambi, Kristo alikufa kwa ajili yetu! Tunapaswa kusameheana.<\/p>

Somo jingine la kujifunza kutokana na mfano huu ni kwamba mtumishi asiyesamehe alitolewa kwa watesaji. Aina mbaya zaidi ya gereza ni moyo usiosamehe! Tunapokataa kusamehe, tunajifunga na kujisababishia mateso yasiyo ya lazima. Watu wasiosamehe wanaweza kuwa baadhi ya watu wenye huzuni na wasio na furaha. Lakini wale wanaojifunza kusamehe, hata kama sisi tumesamehewa, ni watu waliokombolewa, waliojaa furaha na amani kwa sababu wamekuwa waigaji wa Mungu: "Iweni wafadhili ninyi kwa ninyi, wenye huruma, mkisameheana, kama vile Mungu katika Kristo alivyowasamehe ninyi. Kwa hiyo mwigeni Mungu kama watoto wapendwa" (Efe. 4:32-5:1).<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Wale wanaojifunza kusamehe ni watu waliokombolewa, waliojaa furaha na amani kwa sababu wamekuwa waigaji wa Mungu.<\/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":"
