“Ninyi nanyi mlijumuishwa katika Kristo mliposikia neno la kweli, Injili ya wokovu wenu…..”
Waefeso. 1:13
“You also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.....”
Ephesians. 1:13
Mungu wetu ni mwenye hekima na nguvu zote! Yeye ni Mungu mwenye haki aliyejaa fadhili zenye upendo na rehema (Zaburi 86:10)! Sifa hizo kuu zilidhihirika Mungu alipoupenda ulimwengu sana hivi kwamba akamtoa Mwanawe wa pekee kuwa dhabihu ya kuwakomboa wanadamu wote kutokana na adhabu ya dhambi na kifo iliyoletwa juu ya ulimwengu kupitia kutotii kwa mwanadamu wa kwanza, Adamu. (Ona Yohana 3:16; 1 Timotheo 2:5, 6; 1 Wakorintho 15:21, 22.)
Our God is all wise and powerful! He is a just God full of loving-kindness and mercy (Psalm 86:10)! These magnificent attributes were manifested when God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice to redeem all men from the penalty of sin and death brought upon the world through the disobedience of the first man, Adam. (See John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:5, 6; 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22.)
Mungu alimuumba Adamu ili aishi katika dunia kamilifu milele, akifurahia baraka zote za uhai, afya, amani, na furaha ( Mwanzo 2:7 ) akiwa na ushirika kamili na Muumba wake. Kwa kutotii kwake, Adamu na uzao wake wote ndani yake walihukumiwa kifo (Mwanzo 3:6,17-19). Hii ndiyo sababu wanadamu wote wanateseka na kufa (Warumi 3:23, 5:12; 2 Wakorintho 5:15). Mpango wa awali wa Mungu kwa mwanadamu, hata hivyo, utatimizwa hivi karibuni. Dunia iliumbwa ili ikaliwe na watu, na Neno la Mungu na makusudi yake hayatarudi kwake bila kutimizwa (Isaya 45:18, 55:11).
God created Adam to live on a perfect earth forever, enjoying all the blessings of life, health, peace, and happiness (Genesis 2:7) in full communion with his Creator. Through his disobedience, Adam and all his posterity in him were sentenced to death (Genesis 3:6,17-19). This is the reason all mankind suffers and dies (Romans 3:23, 5:12; 2 Corinthians 5:15). God’s original plan for man, however, will soon be brought to fruition. The earth was created to be inhabited, and God’s Word and purpose will not return to Him unfulfilled (Isaiah 45:18, 55:11).
Injili inamaanisha furaha au habari njema. Luka 2:10, 11 inatuambia kuhusu habari hizi: “Malaika akawaambia, Msiogope; maana leo katika mji wa Daudi amezaliwa kwa ajili yenu, Mwokozi, ndiye Kristo Bwana.” Yesu alijiondolea utukufu wake wa kwanza kuja duniani kufa kama Mwokozi wa wanadamu (Waebrania 2:9, Wafilipi 2:7). Wakati wa huduma yake ya miaka mitatu na nusu Alihubiri injili ya Ufalme: “Yesu akazunguka katika Galilaya yote, akifundisha katika masinagogi yao, na kuihubiri Injili ya ufalme…” (Mathayo 4:23). Aliyatoa maisha yake kwa hiari juu ya Msalaba wa Kalvari ili kuwa fidia ambayo haki ya Mungu ilihitaji kumkomboa mwanadamu kutoka katika adhabu ya dhambi na kifo. Mungu alikubali dhabihu yake kamilifu, akamfufua kutoka kwa wafu siku ya tatu. Sasa ameketi mkono wa kuume wa Mungu (Ona Matendo 10:40; Waebrania 5:9, 7:26, 8:1; Waefeso 1:20.)
Gospel means glad or good tidings. Luke 2:10, 11 tell us about these tidings: “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” Jesus emptied himself of his former glory to come to this earth to die as the Savior of mankind (Hebrews 2:9, Philippians 2:7). During his three and a half years of ministry He preached the gospel of the Kingdom: “Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom...” (Matthew 4:23). He willingly laid down his life on Calvary’s Cross in order to be the ransom that God’s justice required to redeem man back from the penalty of sin and death. God accepted his perfect sacrifice, raising him from the dead on the third day. He is now seated on God’s right hand (See Acts 10:40; Hebrews 5:9, 7:26, 8:1; Ephesians 1:20.)
Wakati wa huduma yake ya kidunia, Yesu aliwaagiza wafuasi wake kuhubiri injili hii kwa ulimwengu mzima kama ushahidi (Marko 16:15; Mathayo 24:14). Wito wa pekee wa mbinguni ulijumuishwa pia katika ujumbe wa habari njema ya wokovu. Huo ulikuwa mwaliko kwa wale ambao walikuwa wametubu dhambi zao, wakimkubali Yesu kuwa Mwokozi, wawe wafuasi wa nyayo zake. Hii ingemaanisha kuwa walikuwa tayari kujikana nafsi zao, kuchukua msalaba wao na kumfuata (Mathayo 16:24). Mapenzi yao sasa yangejitolea kufanya mapenzi ya Mungu, kama Yesu alivyofanya (Luka 22:42). Kwa wale wanaochagua kuwa wanafunzi na wafuasi wake, Yesu aliahidi Roho Mtakatifu kuwa kiongozi wao katika maisha, akiwaongoza katika kweli yote (Yohana 16:13). Wafuasi wa Yesu wamepewa fursa nzuri ajabu ya kuhubiri na kushiriki habari njema ya Injili kwa wote wanaosikiliza. Wakati Enzi hii ya Injili itakapoisha, Yesu atarudi kuchukua wafuasi wake waaminifu ili kuwa pamoja Naye. Ameahidi kwamba watafanywa kama yeye na kumwona jinsi alivyo (1 Wathesalonike 4:13-18; 1 Yohana 3:2). Wataketi pamoja naye katika kiti chake cha enzi cha utukufu kama warithi pamoja naye (Ufunuo 3:21).
During his earthly ministry, Jesus instructed his followers to preach this same gospel to the entire world as a witness (Mark 16:15; Matthew 24:14). A special heavenly call was also included in the good tidings message of salvation. This was an invitation for those who had repented of their sins, acknowledging Jesus as Savior, to become his footstep followers. This would mean they were willing to deny self, take up their cross, and follow him (Matthew 16:24). Their wills would now be committed to doing God’s will, just as Jesus did (Luke 22:42). To those who choose to become his disciples and followers, Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to be their guide through life, leading them into all truth (John 16:13). Jesus’ followers have been given the wonderful opportunity to preach and share the good news of the Gospel with all who have a listening ear. When this Gospel Age ends, Jesus will return to take his faithful followers to be with Him. He has promised that they will be made like him and see him as he is (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 John 3:2). They will sit with him in his throne of glory as his joint-heirs (Revelation 3:21).
Yesu atakaporudi pamoja na Bibi-arusi wake ili kusimamisha Ufalme wa Mungu duniani, kwa kweli kutakuwa na ile “amani duniani na mapenzi mema kwa wanadamu” ambayo malaika walitangaza kwa wachungaji miaka 2,000 iliyopita usiku ambao Mwokozi wetu alizaliwa. Chini ya utawala wa Yesu uovu utaondolewa. Shetani atatupwa katika shimo lisilo na mwisho la kutotenda, hataruhusiwa tena kuudanganya ulimwengu kwa uongo wake (Ufunuo 20:1, 2). Kutakuwa na ufufuo wa wafu wote ( Yohana 5:28, 29 ) na kurejeshwa kwa vitu vyote vilivyopotea kupitia kutotii kwa Adamu ( Matendo 3:20, 21 ).
When Jesus returns with his Bride to establish God’s Kingdom on earth, there will truly be that “peace on earth and good will to men” which the angels proclaimed to the shepherds 2,000 years ago on the night our Savior was born. Under Jesus’ reign evil will be done away with. Satan will be cast into the bottomless pit of inactivity, no longer allowed to deceive the world with his lies (Revelation 20:1, 2). There will be a resurrection of all the dead (John 5:28, 29) and a restoration of all things lost through Adam’s disobedience (Acts 3:20, 21).
Je, itakuwaje wakati huo? Mtume Paulo anatuambia, “Mambo ambayo jicho halijaona, wala sikio halikuyasikia, wala hayakuingia katika moyo wa mwanadamu, mambo ambayo Mungu aliwaandalia wampendao” (1 Wakorintho 2:9). Mitume walipewa utambuzi fulani juu ya wakati huu. Sikiliza maneno haya yenye kusisimua: Isaya 35:4, 5 : “Ndipo macho ya vipofu yatafumbuliwa, na masikio ya viziwi yatazibuliwa. Ndipo aliye kilema ataruka-ruka kama kulungu, na ulimi wa bubu utaimba. Kwa maana maji yatabubujika nyikani, na vijito nyikani.” Danieli aliwazia wakati huu katika Danieli 7:13, 14 : “Nikatazama katika njozi za usiku, na tazama, Mmoja aliye mfano wa Mwana wa Adamu, akija na mawingu ya mbinguni; Akafika kwa Mzee wa Siku, nao wakamleta karibu naye. Kisha akapewa mamlaka na utukufu na ufalme, ili watu wa kabila zote na mataifa na lugha wamtumikie. Mamlaka yake ni mamlaka ya milele, ambayo haitapita kamwe, na ufalme wake ni ufalme usioweza kuangamizwa.” Andiko la Waebrania 2:14 linatuambia hivi: “Kwa maana dunia itajazwa ujuzi wa utukufu wa BWANA, kama maji yaifunikavyo bahari.” Hii ndiyo Injili!
What will it be like at that time? The Apostle Paul tells us, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). The Prophets were given some insight into this time. Listen to these thrilling words: Isaiah 35:4, 5: “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.” Daniel envisioned this time in Daniel 7:13, 14: “I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.” Habrews 2:14 tells us: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” This is the Gospel!
