Impaka ku kugaragaza uwo Yesu ari we mu by’ukwemera kwa Gikristo ntizoroshye, kuko zituruka mu mpande nyinshi: harimo abatemera Imana, abatemera ibitangaza, ndetse n’amadini adahuje imyemerere.
Aho kutizera Imana bitangirira
Hari itsinda ry’abantu rya skeptics, batizera ikintu icyo ari cyo cyose kirenze iby’umubiri. Mu bitekerezo byabo, nta Mana ibaho, cyangwa niba ibaho ntibishoboka kuyimenya kandi ntacyo bitumarira.
Mu buryo bwose, nta cyerekezo na kimwe cyabo cyemerera Yesu kuba yari ari ku rwego rw’Imana. Bemeza ko atakoze ibitangaza kandi ko atazutse. Nubwo bemera ko Yesu yabayeho, bavuga ko Ibyanditswe Bitagatifu bidakwiriye kwizerwa mu byo bivuga kuri We.
Umuhanga uzwi cyane wabigarutseho ni Bart Ehrman, wiyerekana nk’udafite aho ahengamiye ku Mana. Aheraho avuga ko Yesu yabonaga ari umwigisha cyangwa umuhanuzi, ariko atari umuntu ufite kamere y’Imana.
Nyuma yo kubambwa, bamwe babyutse bemera ko Imana yamushyize hejuru mu ijuru, hanyuma buhoro buhoro abantu batangira kumufata nk’ufite kamere y’Imana kugeza bemeje ko yari Imana kuva kera na kare.
Ikimenyetso cya mbere: Yesu ubwe yerekanye ko ari Umwana w’Imana
Nubwo Yesu atigeze akoresha ijambo “Ndi Imana”, yabwiye abantu ibintu byagaragaje ko afite ububasha bw’Imana. Iyo avuze “Ndababwiza ukuri…” (Amen I tell you), yagaragazaga ububasha ku ijambo rye, ibintu bitigeze bikorwa n’abandi bigisha.
Amahame yose ya Bibiliya yerekana ko yabwiraga abantu ko azacira isi urubanza ku ngoma y’Imana (Matayo 25; Yohana 5). Abayobozi b’Abayahudi kenshi bamushinjaga gutuka Imana, kuko ibyo yavugaga byagaragazaga ko ari ku rwego rwayo.
Ikimenyetso cya kabiri: Ibitangaza bye n’izuka rye
Igihe Yesu yababariye umugabo wari uremaye (ufite ibicumuro), Abafarizayo bavuze ko ari ugutuka Imana kuko kubabarira ibyaha ari ububasha bw’Imana yonyine. Yesu yahise amukiza ako kanya kugira ngo yemeze ko afite ubwo bubasha nyine (Mariko 2).
Ibitangaza bya Yesu ntibyigeze byemerwa nk’inzaduka; n’abamurwanyaga bemeraga ko hari ibintu bikomeye akora. Ariko ikimenyetso gikomeye cyose ni izuka rye, rishingiye ku bimenyetso bikomeye: yapfiriye ku musaraba koko, yashyinguwe mu mva izwi, imva yasanzwe irimo ubusa, abantu benshi bamubonye amaze kuzuka.
Pawulo ubwe, wahoze arwanya abakristo, yahinduwe no kumubona ari muzima
Izuka ni ryo rishyira ikimenyetso cy’imperuka ku magambo Yesu yavuze ku bw’icyubahiro cye nk’Umwana w’Imana.
Ikimenyetso cya gatatu: Abakristo ba mbere bamubonye nk’Imana nyakuri
Nubwo Ehrman avuga ko imyemerere ku bumana bwa Yesu yagiye ihinduka vuba cyane mu kinyejana cya mbere, yemera ko kuva mu ntangiriro Abakristo bamushyize ku rwego rwo hejuru ku buryo bw’icyubahiro gikwiriye Imana yonyine.
Mu nyandiko za Pawulo, Yesu yitwa “Nyagasani” (Kyrios), izina ryakoreshwaga mu gusobanura Imana (Yahweh) mu Isezerano rya Kera. Paulo akenshi ashimangira ubushobozi bwa Yesu mu buryo bwerekana ko ari Imana yihariye yabaye umuntu.
Bibiliya yose yigisha Kristo umwe mu byiciro 3
Ibyanditswe byose bifite iyi nsanganyamatsiko imwe: Umwana w’Imana uri mu Ijuru kuva kera na kare, Amanukamu isi aba umuntu kandi apfira ku musaraba ku bwacu. Agaruka mu cyubahiro ku ruhande rw’Imana Data.
Ibi bigaragara mu: Abafilipi 2:5–11, Abakolosayi 1:12–20, Abaheburayo 1:1–4 na Yohana 1:1–18
Icyemezo cy’uko Yesu ari Imana ni icyo kwizerwa
Ibyo Abakristo bemera ku bumana bwa Yesu bifite imizi ikomeye mu mateka: Yesu ubwe yiyerekanye ko ari ufite kamere y’Imana, Ibitangaza bye n’izuka rye byarabyemeje, Abakristo ba mbere bamwizeye nk’Imana idukiza.
Bityo, gusobanukirwa ko Yesu ari Imana Umwana waje mu mubiri si ukwemera kudafite ishingiro, ahubwo ni ukwemera gushingiye ku mateka, ku bimenyetso, no ku magambo ye ubwe.
