Iye anamuuza kuti: “Uza ana a Isiraeli kuti, ‘Sankhani mizinda yothawirako.’” Mizindayo inkaonedwa kuti ndi “yopatulika.” (Yos. 20:1, 2, 7, 8) Popeza Yehova ndi amene analamula kuti pakhale mizinda imeneyi, tikhoza kufunsa kuti: Kodi nkhani ya mizinda yothawirako ingatithandize bwanji kumvetsa chifundo cha Yehova? Nanga ingatithandize bwanji kudziwa zimene tingachite kuti tithawire kwa Yehova masiku ano?

Ngati muli ndi vuto pa nkhani ya mowa, kodi mumapeweratu chilichonse chimene chingakuchititseni kumwa mopitirira malire? Ngati zimakuvutani kuti musamalakelake zachiwerewere, kodi mumapewa mafilimu, mawebusaiti kapena zinthu zina zimene zingakuchititseni kuganizira zogonana?

Paja Yehova anati: “Mizindayo ntchito yake ikhale yoti wopha munthu mwangozi azithawirako pothawa wobwezera magazi.” (Yos. 20:2, 3) Yehova sankalola kuti munthu aimbidwe mlandu kawiri pa tchimo limodzi komanso kuti wobwezera magazi apite kukapha munthu amene walowa kale mumzinda wothawirako. Izi zinkachititsa munthu amene wathawira mumzindawo kumva kuti ali m’manja mwa Yehova ndipo ndi wotetezeka. Iye sankamva ngati ali kundende.

15, 16. Kodi dipo la Yesu komanso udindo wake monga Mkulu wa Ansembe zingakuthandizeni bwanji kuti musamakayikire zoti Mulungu adzakuchitirani chifundo?

Dipo la Yesu limathandiza kuti tikhale ndi chikumbumtima choyera komanso mtendere wamumtima.

Iye amatitsimikizira kuti ‘adzatichitira chifundo ndi kutisonyeza kukoma mtima kwakukulu pa nthawi imene tikufunika thandizo.’​—Aheb. 4:15, 16.
