Ikiwa ndugu yako atakukosea, mwonye; na akitubu, msamehe. Na ikiwa atakukosea mara saba kwa siku, na mara saba kwa siku akarudi kwako, akisema, &#039;Nimetubu,&#039; msamehe.&quot;\u2018 <br \/><strong>Luka 17:3-4<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Haiwezekani kupitia maisha bila kukwazwa au kuumizwa na mtu mwingine. Bwana Yesu alisema, \u201cHaiwezekani kwamba makwazo yasitokee, lakini ole wake mtu ambaye yanatokana naye\u201d (Luka 17:1)! Mapema katika Luka, Bwana Yesu alifananisha msamaha na kufuta deni la kifedha (Luka 7:36-47).<\/p><p>Alipokuwa akila chakula cha jioni katika nyumba ya Simoni Mfarisayo, mwanamke mwenye dhambi aliingia na kuosha miguu ya Bwana wetu kwa machozi yake mwenyewe, akiifuta kwa nywele zake na kuipaka miguu yake mafuta yenye harufu nzuri. Mapenzi yake kwa Bwana alikuwa nani na utambuzi wake wa kile alichokuwa ni dhahiri katika kifungu hicho. Lakini haikuwa hivyo kwa Mfarisayo; Simoni alimhukumu Bwana Yesu na mwanamke huyo.<\/p><p>Akijua kilichokuwa moyoni mwa Simoni na kile alichokuwa akifikiria, Bwana Yesu alisema, \u201cPalikuwa na mkopeshaji mmoja aliyekuwa na wadeni wawili. Mmoja alikuwa na deni la dinari mia tano, na mwingine hamsini. Nao walipokuwa hawana cha kulipa, aliwasamehe wote wawili. Basi niambie, ni nani kati yao atakayempenda zaidi?\u201d Simoni akajibu, \u201cNadhani ni yule aliyemsamehe zaidi.\u201d Akamwambia, \u201cUmehukumu vema.\u201d<\/p><p>Kisha Bwana wetu akamwonyesha kile alichomfanyia na kile ambacho Simoni, kama mwenyeji, alishindwa kufanya. Kisha akasema, \u201cKwa hiyo nakuambia, dhambi zake, ambazo ni nyingi, zimesamehewa, kwa kuwa alipenda sana. Lakini asamehewaye kidogo, huyo hupenda kidogo.\u201d<\/p><p>Somo hapa linaonekana wazi: dhambi huwa inaleta deni ambalo lazima lisamehewe. Kadiri tunavyozidi kufahamu ni kiasi gani tumesamehewa, ndivyo tutakavyokuwa na upendo zaidi kwa Yule anayefuta deni. Matokeo mengine ya hadithi hii ni kwamba mwanamke huyu, ambaye alikuwa amesamehewa dhambi zake, alipotoka nyumbani siku hiyo, harufu ya mafuta yenye harufu nzuri aliyokuwa ametumia iliambatana naye kwenye nywele zake. Tunaweza kusema kwamba harufu ya msamaha ilimfuata!<\/p><p><strong>Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong><br \/>Harufu nzuri ya msamaha wetu inapaswa kutufuata pia tunapokutana na wale wanaotukosea. Makosa yatakuja, lakini maagizo ya Bwana wetu ni &quot;jihadharini&quot; na kuwasamehe. Ni rahisi zaidi kufanya hivyo tunapokumbuka ni kiasi gani tumesamehewa.<\/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":"<p>The Fragrance Of Forgiveness \u201cTake heed to yourselves.
