“Ubu butumwa bwiza bw’Ubwami buzabwirizwa”
“Ubu butumwa bwiza bw’ubwami buzabwirizwa mu isi yose ituwe, kugira ngo bubere amahanga yose ubuhamya; hanyuma imperuka ibone kuza.”—MATAYO 24:14.
Icyo bisobanura: Luka umwanditsi w’Ivanjiri, yaravuze ati “[Yesu] ajya mu migi n’imidugudu, abwiriza kandi atangaza ubutumwa bwiza bw’ubwami bw’Imana” (Luka 8:1). Yesu yaravuze ati “ngomba gutangariza ubutumwa bwiza bw’ubwami bw’Imana no mu yindi migi, kuko ibyo ari byo natumwe gukora” (Luka 4:43). Yatumye abigishwa be kubwiriza ubutumwa bwiza mu migi no mu midugudu, nuko arabategeka ati “muzambera abahamya . . . kugera mu turere twa kure cyane tw’isi.”—Ibyakozwe 1:8; Luka 10:1.
Uko Abakristo ba mbere babishyize mu bikorwa: Abigishwa ba Yesu ntibatindiganyije; bahise bakora ibyo Yesu yabategetse. “Buri munsi [intumwa] zakomezaga kwigisha no gutangaza ubutumwa bwiza bwerekeye Kristo Yesu” (Ibyakozwe 5:42). Umurimo wo kubwiriza wagombaga gukorwa n’abantu bose, ntiwari ugenewe itsinda ry’abantu bake gusa. Umuhanga mu by’amateka witwa Neander yavuze ko “Celse, umwanditsi wa mbere warwanyije Abakristo, yabannyegaga kubera ko abantu babwirizaga Ivanjiri bafite ishyaka, babaga ari abatunganyaga ubwoya bw’amatungo, abadozi b’inkweto, abantu bakanaga impu, abantu b’injiji batize bo muri rubanda rusanzwe.” Nanone hari umugabo witwa Jean Bernardi wanditse mu gitabo cye ati “[Abakristo] basabwaga kubwiriza ahantu hose n’abantu bose. Haba mu mihanda nyabagendwa, mu migi, ahantu hahurira abantu benshi no mu ngo z’abantu. Abantu babumva batabumva . . . bagombaga gukomeza kubwiriza kugeza ku mpera z’isi.”—The Early Centuries of the Church.
Ni ba nde bigana urugero rwabo muri iki gihe? Umupadiri wo mu idini ry’Abangilikani witwa David Watson yaranditse ati “imwe mu mpamvu zituma abantu benshi badashishikarira gukorera Imana, ni uko kiliziya itagiha agaciro umurimo wo kubwiriza no kwigisha.” Mu gitabo José Luis Pérez Guadalupe yanditse, yavuze ko amadini y’ivugabutumwa, Abadivantisiti n’andi madini, “batajya kubwiriza abantu mu ngo zabo.” Ageze ku Bahamya ba Yehova, yaranditse ati “bafite gahunda inoze yo kubwiriza bava ku rugo rumwe bajya ku rundi.”—Why Are the Catholics Leaving?
Jonathan Turley, yakoze ubushakashatsi bwitondewe asanga “iyo uvuze Abahamya ba Yehova, abantu benshi bahita batekereza ababwirizabutumwa badusura mu ngo zacu mu masaha tutari tubiteze. Kuba Abahamya ba Yehova babwiriza kuri buri rugo, si ukugira ngo bageze inyigisho zabo ku bandi gusa, ahubwo ni ikintu cy’ingenzi mu bigize ukwizera kwabo.”—Cato Supreme Court Review, 2001-2002.

Ese wabonye ibiranga Abakristo nyakuri?
Ubu se ukurikije ibintu bivugwa muri Bibiliya wasomye muri izi ngingo, wavuga ko muri iki gihe ari ba nde bujuje ibiranga Abakristo b’ukuri? Nubwo hariho amadini mato n’amanini abarirwa mu bihumbi mirongo yiyitirira Kristo, ukwiriye kuzirikana amagambo Yesu yabwiye abigishwa be. Yarababwiye ati “umuntu wese umbwira ati ‘Mwami, Mwami,’ si we uzinjira mu bwami bwo mu ijuru. Ahubwo ukora ibyo Data wo mu ijuru ashaka ni we uzabwinjiramo” (Matayo 7:21). Kumenya abakora ibyo Data ashaka, bakaba bujuje ibintu biranga Abakristo b’ukuri, maze nawe ukifatanya na bo, bishobora kuzaguhesha imigisha igihe Ubwami bw’Imana buzaba butegeka isi. Ukwiriye kwegera Abahamya ba Yehova baguhaye iyi gazeti, ukabasaba kugusobanurira iby’Ubwami bw’Imana n’imigisha buzazana.—Luka 4:43.
