Mbiri ya zipembedzo pa nkhani ya nkhondo

 Mbiri imasonyeza kuti zipembedzo zakhala zikulola, kuikira kumbuyo komanso kulimbikitsa anthu kumenya nkhondo. Zipembedzozi zakhala zikuchita zimenezi kwinaku zikunamiza anthu kuti zimalimbikitsa mtendere. Kwa zaka zambiri, a Mboni za Yehova akhala akubweretsa poyera chinyengo chimene zipembedzozi zimachita.

 Zimene Yesu anaphunzitsa: “Uzikonda mnzako mmene umadzikondera wekha.” (Mateyu 22:39) “Pitirizani kukonda adani anu.”​—Mateyu 5:44-47.

 Zimene Yesu ananena: “Ufumu wanga suli mbali ya dziko lino. Ufumu wanga ukanakhala mbali ya dziko lino, atumiki anga akanamenya nkhondo kuti ndisaperekedwe.” (Yohane 18:36) “Onse ogwira lupanga adzafa ndi lupanga.”​—Mateyu 26:47-52.

 Taganizirani izi: Ngati Yesu anakaniza ophunzira ake kumenyana ndi anthu omwe ankafuna kumugwira, kodi zingakhale zomveka kuti Akhristu azimenya nkhondo pa zifukwa zina?

Paja mtengo woterewo “amaudula ndi kuuponya pamoto.” (Mateyu 7:15-20) Kuti mudziwe mmene zidzakhalire, werengani nkhani yakuti, “Mapeto a Chipembedzo Chonyenga Ayandikira.”
