Aur Weh Ishu ko Dhekhna Chahate the Woh Kaun Hai

Elder James W. McConkie III dwara

Sattar ke

Main gawahi deta hoon ki Ishu jeevit hai, ki Woh hamen jaanta hai, aur Uske paas changa karne, badalne aur kshama karne ki shakti hai.

Bhaaiyon, bahanon, aur doston, 2013 mein meri patni, Laurel, aur mujhe Czech Slovak Mission mein mishan leader ke taur seva karne ke liye bulaya gaya. Hamaare chaaro bachcho ne hamaare saath seva ki.¹ Hamen ek parivaar ke roop mein shaandaar missionaries aur ullekhaneey(remarkable) Czech aur Slovak santon dvaara aasheervaad diya gaya tha. Hum unse pyaar karte hai.

Jaise hamare pariwaar ne mishan feild aaya, Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin ne jo kuchh sikhaaya vah hamaare saath chala aaya. “The Great Commandment” sheershak vaale ek bhaashan mein Elder Wirthlin ne pucha, “Kya aap Prabhu se prem karte hain?” Uske salaah un ke liye jo haan ka uttar denge, saral aur gahera thaa: “Unke saath samay bitaon. Uske vaani par manan(meditate) karen. Unke daasta ko apne upar lo. Samajhne aur paalan karne ki koshish karo.”² Elder Wirthlin ne phir un logon ko parivartanakaaree(transformative) aashisho ka vaada kiya jo Ishu Masih ke jeevan aur shikshaon ko samay aur sthaan dene ke ichchhuk hain.³

Hamne Elder Wirthlin’s ki salaah maani aur dil se vaada kiya. Hamaare missionaries ke saath, hamne Ishu ke saath mathew, Mark, Luke aur John Naya Niyam me se aur 3 Nephi Mormon Dharamshaastr ka adhyayan karne mein lamba samay bitaaya. Har ek zone conference, leader council, or disrict meeting, hamne khud ko “Paanch Susamaachaar” ke roop mein sandarbhit kiya hai,”⁴ Ishu ke baare mein padhna, charcha karna, vichaar karna aur seekhana.

Mere liye, Laurel ke liye, aur hamaare mishanariyon ke liye, shaastron mein Ishu ke saath samay bitaane se sab kuchh badal gaya. Hamen is baat ke liye gahari saraahana mili ki Woh kaun tha aur Uske liye kya mahatvapoorn tha. Hamne vichaar kiya ki Usne kaise sikhaaya, kya sikhaaya, kis tarike se Usne pyar dikhaya, Usne kya kiya sabhi ko ashishe aur seva karke, Usne vishvaasghaat ka javaab kaise diya, Unhone kathin maanavye bhaavnaon ke saath kya kiya, Unke sheershak aur naam, kaise Woh sunta tha, Unhone sangharsh ko kaise suljhaaya, jis duniya mein Woh raheta tha, Uske kahaniya, kaise Unhone ekta aur daya ko protsaahit kiya, kshama karne aur changa karne ki Unki kshamta, Unke updesh, Unki praathna, Unke praeschit balidaan, Unke punarutthaan(Resurrection), Unke susamaachaar.

Ham aksar aisa mahesoos karte the “kadh me [chota]” Zacchaeus ek goolar(sycamore) ke ped par chadhne ke liye daud raha tha kyonki Ishu Jericho se gujra tha kyonki, jaise Luke samjhaya ki, ham “Ishu ko dhekhna Chahate the Woh kaun Hai.”⁵ Yah Ishu nahin tha jaisa ham chaahate the ya chaahate the ki vah ho, balki Ishu jaisa Woh vaastav mein tha aur hai.⁶ Jaisa ki Elder Wirthlin ne vaada kiya tha, hamne bahut hi vaastavik tareeke se seekha ki “Ishu Masih ka susamaachaar parivartan ka susamaachaar hai. Yah hamen prithvi ke purushon aur mahilaon ke roop mein leta hai aur hamen anant kaal ke liye purushon aur mahilaon mein parishkrt karta hai. ”⁷

We kuch khaas din the. Hamne vishwas karna shuru kiya ki “Parmeshwar ke saath kuch bhi namoomkin nahi hai.”⁸ Prague, Bratislava, ya Brno, mein pavitr dopahar ki yaaden, Ishu ki shakti aur vaastavikta par vichaar aur anubhav karte hue, ham sabhi ke jeevan mein goonjatee rahat hain.

Humne zyadaatar padha Mark 2:1–12. Vaha ke kahaani damaaadar(compelling) hai. Main iska ek hissa seedhe Mark se padhna chaahata hoon, aur phir ise saajha(share) karna chahata hu jaisa ki mujhe hamaare mishanariyon aur any logon ke saath vyaapak adhyayan aur charcha ke baad samajh mein aaya hai.⁹

“Aur phir [Ishu] kuchh dinon ke baad Capernaum mein aaya; aur yah shor hua ki vah ghar mein hai.

“Aur turant hi kuch log ikhatha hue, yahaan tak ki unhen grahan karne ke liye jagah nahin thi, nahin, darvaaje ke baare mein itna nahin: aur usne unhen vachan ka prachaar kiya.

“Aur ve lakave(palsy) ke ek rogee ko, jo chaar ke saath utpann(borne) hua tha, uske paas le aae.

“Aur jab ve chaarpai ke khatiye uske paas na aa sake, tab us chhat ko jahaan vah tha, ukhaad diya, aur use todakar us bichhaune ko jis mein lakave ka rogee pada tha, utaar diya.

“Ishu ne unka vishwaas dekhkar, us lakwe ke rogi se kaha, he putra, tere paap chama hue.”

Bheed mein kuch adla-badli ke baad,¹⁰ Ishu lakave se peedit vyakti ko dekhta hai aur use yah kahate hue shaareerik roop se changa karta hai:

“Main tujh se kahata hoon, Uth, apni khaathiye ko utha, aur apne ghar chala ja.

“Aur vah turant utha, aur khaathiye ko uthaakar un sab ke saamne nikal gaya; yahaan tak ki ve sab chakit ho rahe the, aur Parmeshwar ki badaee karke kahane lage, ki ham ne kabh is reeti se nahin dekha.”¹¹

Ab jo kahaani mujhe samajh mein aa gaee hai: Apni ministry ki shuruat mein, Ishu Capernaum laut aaya, Galilee saagar ke uttaree kinare par sthit ek chhota machli pakadane vaala gaao tha.¹² Usne haal hi mein beemaron ko changa karke aur buri aatmaon ko baahar nikaal kar kai chamatkaar kiye the.¹³ Ishu naamak vyakti ko sunne aur anubhav karne ke liye utsuk the, gaao vaale us ghar mein jama ho gae, jahaan uske rahane ki aphavaah thi.¹⁴ Jaise weh aae, Ishu ne padhaana shuru kiya.¹⁵

Capernaum mein us samay ke ghar flat-chhat vaale, ek-kahaani vaale ghar the, jo ek saath samoohabaddh(grouped) the.¹⁶ Chhat aur deevaaren patthar, lakdi, mitti aur chhappar(thatch) ka mishran tha, jinhen ghar ke kinaare par saral seedhiyon ke ek set dvaara pahuncha ja sakta tha.¹⁷ Bheed ghar par tezi se badi, kamraa bhar gaya jaha Ishu padaa raha tha, weh log raaste par bhi phailgaye.¹⁸

Kahani ek vyakti “lakave se beemaar” aur uske chaar doston par kendrit hai.¹⁹ Lakave pakshaaghaat ka ek roop hai, jo aksar kamzori aur kampakampi(tremor) ke saath hota hai.²⁰ Main kalpana karta hoon ki chaar mein se ek doosre se kah raha hai, “Ishu hamaare gaao mein hai. Ham sabhi un chamatkaaron ke baare mein jaante hain jo sne kiye hain aur jinhen Usne changa kiya hai. Yadi ham apne mitra ko Ishu ke paas la sakte hain, to shaayad use bhi poorn banaaya ja sakta hai.”

Isliye, ve pratyek us chataee ya bistar ka ek kona lete hain jis par unaka mitra leta hota hai aur Capernaum ki tedhee, aksar sankri, kachchi sadkon ke maadhyam se use le jaane ka kathin kaarye shuroo karte hain.²¹ Maaspeshiyon mein dard hota hai, weh antim kone mein keval yah dekhane ke lie mudate hain ki bheed ya, jaisa ki shaastr kahate hain, sunane ke lie ekatrit logon ka “pres” itana mahaan hai ki Ishu tak pahunchana asambhav hai.²² Pyaar aur vishvas ke saath, vah chaar haar nahi manate. Iske bajaay, ve sapaat chhat(scramble) par seedhiyaan chadhte hain, dhyaan se apne mitra aur uske bistar ko apne saath oopar uthaate hain, us kamre ki chhat ya chhat ko todte hain jahaan Ishu pada rahe hain, aur apne mitra ko neeche jaane dete hain.²³

Gaur keejie ki ek gambheer shikshan kshan ke beech mein, Ishu ek kharonch ki aavaaj sunta hai, oopar dekhta hai, aur chhat mein badhte chhed ko dhool aur chhappar ke roop mein dekhta hai. Ek lakavaagrast vyakti ko bistar par phir pharsh par gira diya jaata hai. Ullekhaneey roop se, Ishu samajhte hain ki yah koee rukaavat nahin hai, balki kuchh aisa hai jo maayne rakhta hai. Vah us aadmi ko bistar par dekhta hai, saarvajanik roop se uske paapon ko kshama karta hai, auruse shaareerik roop se theek karata hai.²⁴

Mark 2 ke us kathan ko dhyaan mein rakhte hue, Ishu ke baare mein Masih ke roop mein kai mahatvapoorn saty spasht ho jaate hain. Pahela, jab ham kisi aise vyakti kei madad karne ka prayaas karte hain jise ham Masih ke paas aane mein madad karte hain, to ham vishvaas ke saath aisa kar sakte hain ki vah paap ke bojh ko uthaane aur kshama karne ki kshamata rakhata hai. Doosra, jab ham Masih ke paas shaareerik, bhaavanaatmak, ya anye beemaariyaan laate hain, to ham aisa yah jaante hue kar sakte hain ki Uske paas changa karne aur aaraam dene ki shakti hai. Teesra, jab ham doosron ko Masih ke paas laane ke liye un chaaron ki tarah prayaas karte hain, to ham nishchit roop se aisa kar sakte hain ki vah hamaare sachche iraadon ko dekhta hai aur uchit roop se unka sammaan katha hai.

Yaad rakho ko, chhat mein ek chhed ke prakat hone se Ishu ki shiksha baadhit huee thi. Un chaaron ko taadna(chastise) dene ya khaarij karne ke bajaay, jinhone baadha daalne ke liye chhed banaaya tha, pavitrashaastr hamen bataata hai ki “Ishu ne unke vishvaas ko dekha.”²⁵ Jinhone us chamatkaar ko dekha, unhone “aashcharyachakit kiya, aur Parmeshwar ki mahima kee, jis ne [ko] aisee shakti di thi.”²⁶

Bhaaiyon aur bahanon, mujhe do atirikt tippaniyon(observations) ke saath samaapt karne den. Chaaahe mishanaree hon, mantree hon, Sahayaka Sanstha ke adhyaksh hon, dharmaadhyaksh hon, shikshak hon, maata-pita hon, bhaee-bahan hon ya mitr hon, ham sabhi Antim-dinon ke sant shishyon ke roop mein doosron ko Masih ke paas laane ke kaary mein lage hue hain. Is prakaar chaaron mitron dvaara pradarshit gun vichaaraneey evan anukaraneey(emulating) hain.²⁷ Ve saahsi(bold), anukooli(adaptive), lacheela(resilient), rachanaatmak, bahumukhee(versatile), aashaavaan, drdhanishchayi(determined), vishvaasayogy, aashaavaadee(optimistic), vinamr aur sthaayi(enduring) hain.

Jodthe hue, chaar mitra samudaay aur sangati ke aadhyaatmik mahatv par zor dete hain.²⁸ Apne mitra ko Masih ke paas laane ke liye, chaaron mein se pratyek ko palang ka ek kona avashy rakhna chaahiye. Agar ek ne chod diya, toh sab mushkil ho jayega. Yadi do prayaas chhod den, to kaarye prabhaavi roop se asambhav ho jaata hai. Ham mein se pratyek ko Parmeshwar ke raajy mein ek bhoomika nibhaanee hai²⁹ Jaisa ki ham us bhoomika ko bharte hain aur apna hissa karte hain, ham apne kone ko aage badhaate hain. Chaahe Argentina ho ya Vietnam, Accra ya Brisbane, ek shaakha ya ek vaard, ek parivaar ya ek mishanaree saathi, ham sabhi ke paas le jaane ke liye ek hona hai. Jaisa ham karte hain, aur yadi ham karte hain, to Prabhu ham sabhi ko aasheesh dete hain. Jaisa usne unke vishvaas ko dekha, vaisa hi vah hamaraa bhi dekhga aur ek logon ke roop mein hamen aasheesh dega.

Apne jeevan mein alag-alag samayon mein, maine apne kone ko pakadne ki koshish k hai, kisi aise vyakti ko le jaane mein madad ki hai jise main pyaar karta hoon, aur doosri baar mujhe hi le jaaya gaya hai. Ishu ki is ullekhaneey kahaani ki shakti ka ek hissa yah hai ki yah hamen yaad dilaata hai ki hamen ek-doosre ki kitnee zaroorat hai, bhaiyon aur bahanon ke roop mein, Masih ke paas aane aur badalne ke liye.

Ye kuchh cheezen hain jo maine Ishu ke saath samay bitaane se seekhi hain Mark 2.

“Parmeshwar hamen pradaan karn ki ham [apne kone ko le jaane] mein saksham ho saka , ki ham dar nahin sakte hain, lekin ham apne vishvaas mein majboot ho sakte hain, aur apne kaam mein drdh ho sakte hain, uddeshyon ko poora karne ke liye Prabhu.”³⁰

Main gawahi deta hoon ki Ishu jeevit hai, ki Woh hamen jaanta hai, aur Uske paas changa karne, badalne aur kshama karne ki shakti hai. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.

Bible Dictionary jodtha hai “shabd susamachaar yani ki ‘achcha samaachaar.’ Achchi khabar yah hai ki Ishu Masih ne ek paripoorn praayashchit kiya hai jo sabhi maanav jaati ko kabr se churaega aur pratyek vyakti ko usake kaaryon ke anusaar puraskrt karega.… Uske nashvar(mortal) jeevan ke abhilekh aur uski sevakaee se sambandhit ghatanaon ko susamaachaar kaha jaata hai” (Bible Dictionary, “Gospels”). 3 Nephi, jise Helaman ke pote, Nephi dvaara rikord kiya gaya hai, mein uske soolee par chadhae jaane ke theek baad America mein punarutthit Ishu Masih ki upasthiti aur shiksha ka ek rikord hai aur isliye, ise “susamaachaar” ke roop mein bhi sandarbhit kiya ja sakta hai. Susmaachaar vishesh roop se sammohak hain kyonki ve un ghatanaon aur paristhitiyon ko rikord karate hain jinamen Ishu Khud hi sakriy roop se sikhaate aur bhaag lete hain. Ve Ishu ko Masih ke roop mein samajhane, Uske saath hamaare sambandh aur Uske susamaachaar ko samajhne ke liye ek mahatvapoorn praarambhik bindu hain.

Unhone doosron ko Ishu Masih ke jeevan ke shaastragat khaaton mein aane ke liye aamantrit kiya, koshish karne ke liye aur “Uddharkarta ke saath jao, uske saath raho, use ek vaastavik aadami banane do, aadha divy, lekin phir bhi ek aadamee ke roop mein aage badh raha hai un mein din.” Unhone iske alaava vaada kiya ki is tarah ka prayaas “aapko unke baare mein aisa drshtikon dega, unke saath aisi antarangata jo mujhe lagta hai ki aapko kisi anye tareeke se nahin mil sakti hai. … Sikho jo unhone kiya hai, usne kya socha, usne kya sikhaya. Waisa karo jaisa usne kiya tha. Jio jaise usne jiya tha, jithna ham kar sakte hai. Vah aadarsh admi tha” (Behold the Lamb of God [1962], 8, 11).

Parantu yadi ham sab us sthaan par ek saath khade hon jise Prabhu ne niyukt kiya hai aur jahaan ham khade hain, use uthaen, to koee bhee cheej is divy kaary ko oopar aur aage badhane se nahin rok sakti.” Chi Hong (Sam) Wong, “Rescue in Unity,” Liahona, Nov. 2014, 15 bhi dekhiye. Elder Wong Mark 2:1–5 ka sandarbh deta hai aur sikhaata hai ki “Uddhaarakarta kee sahaayata karane ke lie, hamen ekata aur sadbhaav mein ek saath kaam karana hoga. Sabhilog, sabhi darja, aur sabhi niyukti zaroori hai.”
