Habari zenu wapendwa! Leo ningependa kuwaletea hadithi moja ya kuvutia kutoka Biblia. Ni hadithi ya Yona na njia ya upatanisho - kutoka hasira kwa huruma. Hebu tueleze hadithi hii vizuri.
Siku moja, Mungu alimwambia nabii Yona aende kuhubiri kwa watu wa Ninawi, mji ambao ulijaa uovu na dhambi. Lakini Yona alikasirika sana kwa sababu alijua kuwa Mungu angewasamehe watu hao ikiwa wangebadili njia zao. Aliamua kukimbia na kwenda mahali pengine.
Yona alipanda chombo cha baharini na akaanza safari. Lakini Mungu hakumwacha, na dhoruba kubwa ikaja na kuanza kuivuruga meli. Waliogopa sana na kugundua kuwa dhoruba hiyo ilisababishwa na Yona. Yona alikubali kuwa ni kosa lake na akajiachilia baharini, akijua kuwa ni bora kufa kuliko kumkataa Mungu.
Lakini Mungu hakuachana na Yona. Alimtuma samaki mkubwa ambaye alimmeza na kumshika kwa siku tatu na usiku watatu. Yona alitubu na kuomba Mungu amwokoe, naye Mungu akamsikia.
Baada ya siku tatu, samaki huyo akamtema Yona nchi kavu. Yona alisikia tena sauti ya Mungu ikimwita aende Ninawi kuhubiri. Safari hii, Yona aliamua kusikiliza na alifika Ninawi akiwa na ujumbe wa Mungu.
Alisema kwa sauti kubwa, "Baada ya siku arobaini, Ninawi itaharibiwa!" Watu wa Ninawi walimsikiliza na kuamini ujumbe wake. Walitubu dhambi zao na kugeuka kutoka njia zao mbaya. Mungu aliona mabadiliko haya na kuwa na huruma kwao.
"Ninapoona mabadiliko haya Ninawapa upendo na msamaha wangu," alisema Mungu. "Ninapenda watu wangu na nataka kuwaongoza katika njia ya huruma na wokovu."
Baada ya kuona jinsi Ninawi ilivyosamehewa, Yona alikasirika tena. Alishtuka sana kuwa Mungu angependa kuwa na huruma kwa watu hao. Aliambia Mungu, "Niliamini kuwa usingewasamehe, lakini wewe ni Mungu wa huruma."
Mungu alimjibu Yona kwa upole, "Je! Unafanya haki? Je! Una haki ya kukasirika wakati ninapenda kuwa na huruma kwa watu wangu? Mimi ni Mungu mwenye huruma na upendo, na natamani kuwakomboa wote wanaonikimbilia."
Hadithi ya Yona na njia ya upatanisho inatufundisha mengi. Inatufundisha kuwa Mungu ni mwenye huruma, na anatutaka tuwe na huruma kwa wengine pia. Tunapaswa kusamehe na kuwapa upendo wale wanaotukosea, kama vile Mungu alivyotusamehe sisi.
Ninapokumbuka hadithi hii, najua kuwa ningependa kuwa kama Yona. Ningependa kusikiliza sauti ya Mungu na kutii amri zake. Ningependa kuwa na huruma na kusamehe wengine, kama vile Mungu anavyotusamehe sisi kila siku.
Ninataka kusikia maoni yenu kuhusu hadithi hii ya kuvutia. Je! Inawafundisha nini? Je! Ninyi pia mnatamani kuwa na huruma na kusamehe wengine?
Nawasihi nyote mnisindikize kwa sala ya mwisho. Hebu tukamwombe Mungu atupe roho ya huruma na upendo kwa wengine. Mungu wetu mwenye huruma, tunakushukuru kwa kujifunua kwetu kupitia hadithi hii. Tuongoze katika njia ya upatanisho na utusaidie kuwa na huruma kama wewe. Tunaomba haya kwa jina la Yesu, Amina.
Nawabariki nyote na nawatakia siku njema! Asanteni kwa kunisikiliza. Tuonane tena! 🙏🌟
