Mwachitsanzo, ankagwiritsa ntchito “mawu ogwira mtima” ndipo anthu ankachita chidwi kwambiri.

Ankachita kuwerenga kapena kutchula malemba oyenerera kuti anthuwo amvetse mfundo yake. (Mat. 4:4, 7, 10; 12:1-5) Yesu ankafotokozanso Malemba momveka bwino ndipo ankawafika pa mtima omvera ake. Iye atangoukitsidwa, analankhula ndi ophunzira ake awiri amene ankapita ku Emau.

Moyo wake unali wosalira zambiri n’cholinga choti akhale ndi nthawi yambiri yotumikira Mulungu.

Tisaiwale kuti kulankhula mokoma mtima kungathandize anthu kuti atilandire bwino n’kumvetsera uthenga wathu. Pofotokoza zimene timakhulupirira, tizigwiritsa ntchito Baibulo. Tiyenera kutchula malemba ndipo ngati n’kotheka tizichita kuwawerenga. Tizikumbukira kuti uthenga wa m’Baibulo ndi wamphamvu kwambiri kuposa zilizonse zimene tinganene.—Aheb. 4:12.
