Daga baya, bikin rantsar da sabon shugaban Amurka ya dauki hankalinmu. Amma akwai ƙarin dacewar ƙaddamarwa da ake buƙata yayin kwanakin tashin hankalin ƙasa: sabon ɗaukaka Yesu a matsayin Ubangiji.

Mutane da yawa har yanzu ba su naɗa Yesu zuwa wannan matsayi ba. Haka ne, muna ba da hidimar leɓe ga tsakiyar Yesu, amma sau da yawa muna zama al'ada, rugujewa ga cin kasuwa, addinin farar hula, da kuma bangaskiya marar ƙarfi. A yin haka, mun kasa ƙyale Yesu ya canza kowane fanni na “siffa da tsarinmu,” kasancewa “sake haifuwarmu,” ba kawai cikin dangantakarmu da Allah ba, har ma a cikin dangantakarmu da rai, kanmu, wasu, da duka. halitta (Romawa 12).

Wannan cikakkiyar sabuntawa ita ce DNA ta mafarkin Yesu (Luka 4:18-19), domin Kristi yana hango rayuwa ba takura ba, amma cike da yalwa (Yahaya 10:10). Irin wannan shimfidar ba ta kabilanci ba ce, amma tana tattare da komai, tana kiran mu kada mu kunkuntar amma mu dauki ra'ayi mai fadi game da rayuwa. Don haka, Yesu ba ya ganin mu a matsayin masu ra’ayin mazan jiya ko masu ci gaba, “’Yan’uwa da aka haifa” ko “Sabbin ’yan’uwa,” Democrat ko Republican, Anglo ko kabila, amma a matsayin ’ya’yan Allah da aka kira zuwa ga ikirari da tuba – kuma bi da bi – Ceto da Sabon Halitta a cikin shi (2 Korinthiyawa 5:16-17).

Irin wannan mahimmanci, sabawa al'adu cikin Kristi yana da alƙawari amma kuma kama, domin

— Yesu-slant yana bukatar in koya daga maƙiyina, ba kawai in fuskanci makiyina ba;

- Yesu-slant yana buƙatar in la'anci tashin hankali bayan haihuwa, ba kawai kafin haihuwa ba;

— Yesu-slant yana bukatar in ba da fifiko ga zama ɗan ƙasa a sama (Mulkin Allah), ba kawai na yi wa ikonsa kai tsaye ba.

A taƙaice, ƙiren ƙarya na Yesu bai dace ba, yana ba da hanyar da ba za a yi tsammani ba a cikin hargitsi na ƙasa. Yana yin haka ta wurin kiran mu mu zama “baƙi” cikin Kristi (Stanley Hauerwas da William Willimon, Baƙi mazauna: Rayuwa a Mulkin Kiristanci, Nashville: Abingdon Press, 2014), masu biyayya ga wani mulki dabam (1 Bitrus 1:1-2; 2:1-12), maimakon bin al'adar "wariyar launin fata, kishin ƙasa, ƙabilanci, bangaranci… postmodernism, militarism" (Michael Gorman, Shiga cikin Almasihu: Bincike a cikin Tiyolojin Bulus da Ruhaniya, Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2019, p. 247).

A yin haka, Yesu-slant yana bayyana duniya, a cikin kalmomin CS Lewis, a matsayin "yankin da abokan gaba suka mamaye. Kiristanci [to] shine labarin yadda sarki mai gaskiya ya sauka…kuma yana kiranmu duka mu shiga cikin babban yaƙin neman zaɓe” (Gorman, shafi na 246).

Kamar yadda Gorman ya fayyace, “wannan saɓani na alheri ba… karɓewar Kirista ba ce, juyin mulkin da ya danganci addini……… hasashe na wani abu-sabuwar halitta da ta zo kuma tana zuwa” (Michael Gorman, “Wasika daga Bulus zuwa ga Kiristoci a Amurka," Kirista Century, Agusta 21, 2019, www.christiancentury.org/article/critical-essay/letter-paul-christians-us).

Ina kiran mu zuwa manufa ta sabotage, yin samfuri da shelar Sabon Halitta cikin Yesu. A yin haka, ba mu daina yin amfani da dabarun duniya, jiki, da shaidan, muna zabar dabarun Mulkin: ƙaunar abokan gaba, “ƙauna,” karimci mai tsattsauran ra’ayi, adalci mai jinƙai, rashin tashin hankali (Matta 5-7). Wannan ba don a rage kyama da kyama a gabanmu ba da bukatuwar shaida da gaske; don Allah ji ni. Maimakon haka, hanya ce ta ƙara haɓaka tasirinmu yayin da muke guje wa zama mugun da muke baƙin ciki.

A cikin Ayyukan Manzanni 17, Bulus da Sila sun yi taron farfaɗo a Tasalonika suna ayyana Yesu a matsayin Almasihu (Ayyukan Manzanni 17:3). Mutane da yawa sun gaskata, har da Helenawa da Yahudawa (Ayyukan Manzanni 17:4). Amma wasu Yahudawa “suka yi kishi, suka… sun zo nan kuma…. Dukansu suna aikata saɓanin umarnin sarki [Kaisar], suna cewa akwai wani sarki mai suna Yesu.” (Ayyukan Manzanni 17:5-7). A cikin mu’ujiza, an ba da Bulus da Sila a kan beli, suna zamewa zuwa Biriya, amma har ila saƙonsu yana ƙara cewa: Yesu Sarki ne ba Kaisar ba.

Ina addu'a mu ma mu juyar da duniya tare da saƙon Sarki Yesu mai ban tsoro amma mai rai. Yana da jaraba don hargitsa jama'a, hargitsi, ko wasu hanyoyi na al'ada, amma mafi inganci su ne hanyoyin da suka sabawa al'adu na Almasihu. A haƙiƙa, su ne mafi kyawun na'ura, abin mamaki da ɓarna, yayin da muke rayuwa a matsayin "baƙi," suna bayyana Sabon Halittar Mai Ceto. A gaskiya, wannan ita ce hanya mafi kyau ta ci gaba ta yanayin siyasa mai cike da zazzaɓi – ƙirar ƙira da yin shelar wata hanyar rayuwa gabagaɗi, tana ƙaddamar da sabon Yesu a matsayin Ubangiji!
