Chibayiro chaJesu ndiyo nzira inoshandiswa naMwari pakununura, kana kuti kuponesa vanhu pachivi nerufu. Bhaibheri rinotaura nezveropa rakadeurwa raJesu serudzikinuro. (VaEfeso 1:7; 1 Petro 1:18, 19) Ndosaka Jesu akati akauya ‘kuzopa upenyu hwake sorudzikinuro rwavazhinji.’​—Mateu 20:28, Bhaibheri Dzvene muChiShona Chanhasi.

Nei paidiwa ‘rudzikinuro rwavazhinji’?

 Munhu wekutanga, Adhamu, akasikwa asina chivi kana kuti asingatadzi. Aiva netariro yekurarama nekusingaperi, asi akarasikirwa nayo nekuti akasarudza kusateerera Mwari. (Genesisi 3:17-19) Paakazova nevana akapfuudzawo chivi chacho kwavari. (VaRoma 5:12) Ndosaka Bhaibheri richiratidza kuti Adhamu ‘akazvitengesa’ iye nevana vake muuranda hwechivi nerufu. (VaRoma 7:14) Nemhaka yekuti vese vanotadza, hapana kana mumwe chete wavo aigona kutengazve zvakanga zvaraswa naAdhamu.​—Pisarema 49:7, 8.

 Mwari akanzwira tsitsi vana vaAdhamu vakanga vasisina tariro yeramangwana. (Johani 3:16) Kunyange zvakadaro, mutemo waMwari wekururamisira waisamubvumira kuti angorega hake kana kuti kufuratira zvivi zvavo pasina chikonzero chine musoro. (Pisarema 89:14; VaRoma 3:23-26) Mwari anoda vanhu, saka akaita kuti pave nenzira iri pamutemo yekuita kuti zvivi zvavo zvikanganwirwe uyewo kuti zvidzimwe. (VaRoma 5:6-8) Akazviita achishandisa rudzikinuro.

Rudzikinuro runoshanda sei?

 MuBhaibheri, shoko rekuti “rudzikinuro” rinoreva zvinhu zvitatu zvinotevera:

1.   Mubhadharo.​—Numeri 3:46, 47.

2.   Runoita kuti pave nekusunungurwa.​—Eksodho 21:30.

3.   Rune ukoshi hunoenzana nechiri kubhadharwa chacho, kana kuti runochifukidza. a

 Ona kuti zvinhu zvitatu izvi zvinobatana sei nechibayiro cherudzikinuro chaJesu Kristu.

1.   Mubhadharo. Bhaibheri rinoti vaKristu ‘vakatengwa nemutengo.’ (1 VaKorinde 6:20; 7:23) Mutengo wacho iropa raJesu, raakashandisa kuti ‘atengere Mwari vanhu kubva mumadzinza ose nendimi nevanhu norudzi.’​—Zvakazarurwa 5:8, 9.

2.   Kusunungurwa. Chibayiro chaJesu chinounza ‘kusunungurwa pachivi pachishandiswa rudzikinuro’.​—1 VaKorinde 1:30; VaKorose 1:14; VaHebheru 9:15.

3.   Kuenzana. Chibayiro chaJesu chinonyatsoenderana nezvakaraswa naAdhamu​—upenyu hwemunhu akakwana. (1 VaKorinde 15:21, 22, 45, 46) Bhaibheri rinoti: “Vazhinji zvavakaitwa vatadzi nokuda kwokusateerera kwomunhu mumwe chete [Adhamu], saizvozvowo nokuda kwokuteerera kwomunhu mumwe chete [Jesu Kristu] vazhinji vachaitwa vakarurama.” (VaRoma 5:19) Izvi zvinoratidza kuti rufu rwemunhu mumwe chete runogona kudzikinura vatadzi vakawanda. Chibayiro chaJesu, ndirwo “rudzikinuro runoenzanirana nevose” vanoita zvavanotarisirwa kuti vaite, kuti vabatsirwe nechibayiro chacho.​—1 Timoti 2:5, 6.
