በእጁም ብልህነት መራቸው

ቅዱስ ጴጥሮስ ንጉሡንና ጳጳሱን እንዲህ ይላቸዋል፡፡ ‹‹ንጉሥ ሆይ፥ አንተ ሥጋዊውን ሥራ ትጠብቃለህ፤ ስለዚህ አንተና ጳጳሱ የእግዚአብሔር በጎች እንዳይጠፉ ተግታችሁ ጸልዩ፤….መንጋዎቻችሁን ጠብቁ፤ ይህንንም ቃል እየሰማችሁ ለመጠበቅ ትጉ፡፡ የእግዚአብሔርን መግቦት ቸል አትበሉ፡፡ እናንተን የሚመግብ እርሱ ነውና መጋቢነታችሁን ችላ አትበሉ፡፡›› (ቀሌምን. ፱፥፹፬ እና ፹፭)

ቅዱስ ጴጥሮስ ለመሪዎች ይህንን ትልቅ ትእዛዝ መናገሩ መንፈሳዊም ሥጋዊም ሥልጣን ከእግዚአብሔር የሚገኝና የሥልጣኑም ዋና ዓላማ ሕዝብን ለመምራት፣ ለመጠበቅ፣ ለማገልገል ብሎም ለመመገብ ስለሆነ ነው፡፡

ምክንያቱም እግዚአብሔር በሕዝቡ ላይ ንጉሡን ለሥጋዊ ፍርድ፣ ጥበቃና መግቦት ሲመርጠው ጳጳሱን ደግሞ ለመንፈሳዊ ፍርድ፣ ጥበቃና መግቦት የሾማቸው መሆኑን ያስረዳል፡፡ ይህንን ቸል ቢሉ ደግሞ ፍርድ እንደሚጠብቃቸው ያስረዳል፡፡

ተወዳጆች ‹‹በጎውን ማን ያሳየናል›› የሚሉ ድምጾች የበዙት ሥጋዊም መንፈሳዊም መሪዎች ስለሚያስፈልጋቸው ነው፡፡ ስለሆነ በጎውን የሚያሳዩን መሪዎች እንዲሰጠን እንጸልይ፤ እኛም በጎውን የሚያሳዩ መሪዎችን ለማምጣት እንምከር፡፡ እኛም በጎውን የምናይ ለመሆን እንትጋ!

ወስብሐት ለእግዚአብሔር!
