Engaki yo ogokwa no kobokigwa abanto abange ngochengera bare nakogokera okobokigwa kwo omotori oito omonene, Yeso Kirisito (Tito 2:13). Ase bare, eri nario rituko rinene rio amotimoko ase ekarenda yegekirisito.1 Amangana yo kobokigwa naro amangana yengencho mono ase obokeresito: Kobokigwa gotaiyo titobwati komanya ase ogotorigwa gwaito korwa ase ebibe biaito (1 Abakorinto 15:12–18).

Ebimanyererio ebitangani

Okobokigwa nigo kore ase ringana, naboigo ase ebimanyire mono, mbiri bioka gose ebimanyererio ebitanganitobwate bia abakeresito biokorikwa igoro you okobokigwa. Ebio esiko ekogenda gochi 1 Abathesaloniki; ekemo kiomochakano bwo amarube a Paulo, ayio arigetwe AD 50.2 Emiaka chirifu ibere nyuma yogokwa kwa kirisito. Omoganda norengeo bwabanto abwo bare koiranerania nga ere nabogetigwe korwa ase amakweri, naboigo akaagacha oboroso obuya ase amangana aya; naboigo amangana buna aya tari koba botuko. Korende enchiri ngoteba ere. Nonya ne miaka chiribu nyuma yebikoro ebio bigotebererwa (sirika AD 30–33), genda magega ase amangana a kare gose ase ogobwatia ogokoro.3 Naboigo amangana aya a kare tabwati amangana amange ayio are rirube riengencho ria Paulo. Ekio naki gekogera twateba nga ngogenda ere magega mono ogochaka ogotangani okuo kwabwatetu nakogachwa.4

Ringana rio okobokigwa gwa kristo ne ringana rie engencho mono gochi ase abakeresito:Kobokigwa gotaiyo,Nto bwati gosemeria gwo okoborigwa kwe ebibe biaito (1 Abakorinto 15:12–18)”.

Ekanisa entangani

Okobokigwa ngoteberera kore ase chinchera inye (gwachagete AD 67–855) ngotebwa bire buna nigo bire ebiogotantania, korende ebinge bioogatantani mbirio ao nainde buna torakagere ase chingencho echi inye chingao chie egento emaiaka emenge nyuma yo okoba. Nigo bire ne binto ebinge buna nongo orosetie omoganda bwa abakungu abwo bachiete ase rikuruma, nga amaraika na abere arenge ao gose nerimo nakogenderera. Ebinge bie ebi mbiri bio ogotantani, buna bitamentiri aroro, ase ekio orokererio; ekemo ngetebe rimo nga riraika riakwanete, naboigo ekeorokererio ekende getebe nga’ amaraika nonsi akwanete. Nebe ogotantania onye ekeo rokererio gegoteba riraika erimo rioka.

Nkorenta ere engencho nga abasacha baarigete baarigete amangana aya nabo barainyore amangana amangao nonya gakororekana amangana amange ase otebia kwabo kwe ebinto biakorekanete. Teri korenta engencho goteba nga’ ase engencho ya abakungu bare ase erisiti, Kobokigwa ngokorekaneti bi.6

Naboigo, okobokigwa kwo obobui ngaange kware koba ase enchera etakageire ase emeganda emetangani ya abayaudi bare gocha goteba rikuruma ritabwati kende. Abayaudi abatangani mbaegenete mono igoro yo obogima nyuma yobonde, abande mbaegenete okobokigwa, nabende tibaegenete (buna abasadusesi (Mathayo 22:23). Nabande mbaegenete nga mbande babo bara bokigwe; korende onde tari ase abayuda baegenete nga’omonto oyomo narenge gochi kobokigwa nyuma ya onde bwensi. Eke nakio kiagerete abaorokigwa batabwate bomanyi bonde bwenshi igoro yeki yeso are goteba ekero abanete ogokwa kwaye naboigo nokobokig.

Ebimanyererio bio okobokigwa gwa kristo gochia ase aba orokigwa baye

Ebimanyererio mbireo nga,krwa omochakano bwe orogendo rwa abakristo, Okobokigwa gwa kristo ngwatumegete gosomia keria abaorokigwa baye baraetere ase okobokigwa. Ase 1 Abathesaloniki 4:13–18, Paulo nkorwa are ekemanyererio igoro yo okobokigwa; Ntwegenete nga yeso nakwete naboigo akaboka naende naboigo ntwegenete nga nyasae narente na yeso baria bakwete amo nere. Igo okobokigwa kwa yeso nkoba kore engencho yo okobokigwa kwa abakeresto ekero arache. Ase abaibiribi Philippians 3:20–21, nkomanya tore nga okobokigwa kwe emebere yaito nebe buna oria o yeso kristo.
