Koma Afarisi ndi alamulo anakana uphungu wa Mulungu wotsutsana nawo okha, popeza sanabatizidwe ndi iye. Pakuti Yohane Mbatizi anabwera osadya mkate kapena kumwa vinyo; ndipo inu mumati, ‘Ali ndi chiwanda.’ Luka 7:20,2830,33 Iwo anayankha nati, “Yohane Mbatizi; koma ena amati, Eliya; ndipo ena amati, mmodzi wa aneneri akale wauka.” Luka 9:19 Koma ndili ndi ubatizo woti ndibatizidwe nawo; ndipo ndikuvutika bwanji kufikira utachitika!

Yohane 1:25-26,28,31,33 Pambuyo pa izi Yesu ndi ophunzira ake anafika ku dziko la Yudeya; ndipo kumeneko anakhala nawo, nabatiza. Ndipo Yohane nayenso anali kubatiza ku Ainoni pafupi ndi Salimu, chifukwa panali madzi ambiri kumeneko: ndipo anadza, nabatizidwa. Ndipo anadza kwa Yohane, nati kwa iye, Rabi, iye amene anali nanu kutsidya kwa Yordano, amene munamchitira umboni, taonani, iyeyu akubatiza, ndipo anthu onse akudza kwa iye. Yohane 3:22-23,26 Chifukwa chake Ambuye atadziwa kuti Afarisi adamva kuti Yesu amapanga ndi kubatiza ophunzira ambiri kuposa Yohane, (ngakhale Yesu sanabatize yekha, koma ophunzira ake,) Yohane 4:1-2 Ndipo anachokanso ku tsidya lina la Yordano, kupita kumalo kumene Yohane anali kubatiza poyamba; ndipo anakhala kumeneko.

Machitidwe 2:41 Koma pamene anakhulupirira Filipo akulalikira za Ufumu wa Mulungu, ndi dzina la Yesu Khristu, anabatizidwa, amuna ndi akazi. Machitidwe 8:12 Ndipo Simoni mwiniwake anakhulupirira; ndipo atabatizidwa, anakhalabe ndi Filipo, nadabwa, ataona zodabwitsa ndi zizindikiro zomwe zinachitika. (Pakuti sanagwere pa aliyense wa iwo; koma anabatizidwa m'dzina la Ambuye Yesu.)

Makalata Kodi simudziwa kuti ife tonse amene tinabatizidwa mwa Khristu Yesu tinabatizidwa mu imfa yake? Chifukwa chake tinaikidwa m'manda pamodzi ndi Iye mwa ubatizo mu imfa: kuti monga Khristu anaukitsidwa kwa akufa mwa ulemerero wa Atate, ifenso tikayende mu moyo watsopano. Aroma 6:3-4 Kodi Khristu anagawanika? Kodi Paulo anapachikidwa chifukwa cha inu? Kapena munabatizidwa m'dzina la Paulo? Ndiyamika Mulungu kuti sindinabatize aliyense wa inu, koma Krispo ndi Gayo; kuti wina anganene kuti ndinabatiza m'dzina langa.

Pakuti Khristu sananditumize kubatiza, koma kulalikira Uthenga Wabwino; osati ndi nzeru za mawu, kuti mtanda wa Khristu usakhale wopanda pake. 1 Akorinto 1:13-17 Ndipo onse anabatizidwa mwa Mose mumtambo ndi m'nyanja; 1 Akorinto 10:2 Pakuti mwa Mzimu umodzi ife tonse tinabatizidwa kukhala thupi limodzi, kaya Ayuda kapena Amitundu, kaya akapolo kapena mfulu, ndipo tonse tinamwetsedwa Mzimu umodzi. 1 Akorinto 12:13 Ngati sichoncho, kodi iwo amene abatizidwa chifukwa cha akufa adzachita chiyani, ngati akufa saukitsidwa konse?

Ndipo atanena izi kwa ophunzira ake, tinamuona akukwera kumwamba. Uthenga Wabwino wa Nikodemo 10:19-21 Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndine mawu a wofuula m’chipululu, Yohane Mbatizi, ndi mneneri wa Wam’mwambamwamba, amene anapita patsogolo pake kukakonza njira yake, kuti apatse anthu ake chidziwitso cha chipulumutso kuti machimo awo akhululukidwe.” Ndipo ine Yohane, pamene ndinaona Yesu akubwera kwa ine, motsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, ndinati, “Taonani Mwanawankhosa wa Mulungu, onani amene achotsa machimo a dziko lapansi.” Ndipo ndinamubatiza mumtsinje wa Yorodani, ndipo ndinaona Mzimu Woyera akutsika pa iye ngati nkhunda, ndipo ndinamva mawu ochokera kumwamba, akuti, “Uyu ndiye Mwana wanga wokondedwa, amene ndimakondwera naye.” Uthenga Wabwino wa Nikodemo 13:11-13 Koma munthu woyamba amene anali kholo lathu Adamu atamva izi, kuti Yesu anabatizidwa mu Yordano, anaitana mwana wake, Seti, nati, “Uzani ana anu, makolo anu ndi aneneri, zonse zimene munamva kwa Mikayeli, mngelo wamkulu, pamene ndinakutumizani ku zipata za Paradaiso, kuti mupemphe Mulungu kuti andidzoze mutu wanga pamene ndinali kudwala.” Uthenga Wabwino wa Nikodemo 14:1-2 Kenako Khristu, Mwana wachifundo kwambiri wa Mulungu, adzabwera padziko lapansi kudzaukitsanso thupi la Adamu, ndipo nthawi yomweyo kudzaukitsa matupi a akufa, ndipo akadzabwera adzabatizidwa mu Yordano: Uthenga Wabwino wa Nikodemo 14:6 Mngelo wamkulu Mikayeli anatilamula kuti tipite kutsidya lina la Yordano, kudziko labwino komanso lonenepa, komwe kuli ambiri omwe adauka kwa akufa pamodzi ndi ife kuti titsimikizire kuuka kwa Khristu. Pakuti tapatsidwa masiku atatu okha kuchokera kwa akufa, omwe adauka kuti tichite chikondwerero cha Paskha wa Ambuye wathu ndi makolo athu, ndikupereka umboni wathu wa Khristu Ambuye, ndipo tabatizidwa mumtsinje woyera wa Yordano. Ndipo tsopano sakuwonedwa ndi aliyense. Uthenga Wabwino wa Nikodemo 21:4-5 Odala ndi amene amasunga ubatizo wawo kukhala woyera, chifukwa adzapeza mtendere ndi Atate, Mwana, ndi Mzimu Woyera. Machitidwe a Paulo ndi Thecla 1:18 Pambuyo pake anatulutsa zilombo zina zambiri zakuthengo; koma Thecla anaima ndi manja ake otambasulidwa kumwamba, napemphera; ndipo atamaliza kupemphera, anatembenuka, naona dzenje la madzi, nati, Tsopano ndi nthawi yoyenera kuti ndibatizidwe.

Machitidwe a Paulo ndi Thecla 9:6-7 Ndipo Tekla atazindikira, anati kwa iye, Ine ndabatizidwa, O Paulo; pakuti iye amene akuthandiza kulalikira, ndiye wandithandiza kubatiza. Machitidwe a Paulo ndi Tekla 10:2 Chifukwa chake, ngati anthu olungama otere sangathe kupulumutsa ana awo mwachilungamo chawo, tingayembekezere bwanji kulowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu, pokhapokha titasunga ubatizo wathu kukhala woyera komanso wosadetsedwa?

Chifukwa chake ziweruzo za Mulungu ndi zolungama; pakuti munthu aliyense amalandira malinga ndi maganizo ake. Koma popeza munali woyenera kuwona Mulungu-munthu, chifukwa chake muyenera kundipempherera. Mwana wanga Azbonius nayenso ali mu ululu wa nthawi ya imfa. Ndipo inenso ndili m’chisautso chachikulu ndi mayesero aakulu, chifukwa ndili ndi matenda a mbulu; ndipo ndili m’chisoni chachikulu, chifukwa ndinazunza amene anayambitsa ubatizo wa madzi, amene anali Yohane. Chifukwa chake, m’bale wanga, ziweruzo za Mulungu ndi zolungama.
