Kya Mujhe Sach me Maaf Kiya Gaya Hai?

Kai saal pehle, Bahan Nattress aur main Idaho chale gae, jaha hamne ek naya business khola. Office me lambe din aur raat the. Shukr hai, ki ham kaam se kuch hee blok dur rehte the. Har haphte, Shawna aur hamari teen betiyaan—sabhi chah saal se kam umr ki—ek saath dopahar ka bhojan karne ke liye office aae.

Us dopahar khaane ke baad me, mainne dekha ki hamari paanch varsh beti, Michelle ne mere liye ek vyaktigat sandesh chhoda tha, jo Post-it not par likha tha aur mere ophis ke teleephon se juda hua tha.

Isme padha, “Pitaji, mujhe pyaar karna yaad rakhe. Pyaari, Michelle.” Ih ek jawan pita ke liye un cheejon ke baare me ek shaktishaali yaad dilane wala tha jo sabse zyaada maayane rakhate hain.

Bhaiyon aur bahanon, Main gawahi deta hoon ki hamare Swarg Pita hamesha hamen yaad karte hain aur Woh hamen puri tarah se pyaar karte hain. Hamar sawal yah hai: Kya ham Usko yaad karte hain? Aur kya ham Usse pyaar karte hain?

Varshon pehle, mainne ek lokal Girjaghar leedar ke roop mein sewa kiya. Hamara ek jawan purush, Danny, har tarah se autstending tha. Woh aagyaakaari, dayalu, achcha aur ek mahan hrday wala tha. Haalaanki, jab unhonne high school se greduet kiya, to usne ek durvyavahaar(misbeahaviour) karne wali bheed me miljul hua. Woh drugs me shaamil ho gaya, khaskar methamphetamine, aur ek vichaar ya karvaai ka tarika jo kuch aswikaar aur kharab ho jaega. Jald se, uska roop puri tarah badal gaya. Unko mushkil se pehchan nahi sakte. Sabse mahatavpurn badlaao uski aankhon me tha—uski aankhon ki roshni kamzor gai. Kai baar main Danny se baat karne ki koshish ki, lekin koi phaayada nahin hua. Usse koi dilchaspi nahi tha.

Ih ashcharyejanak jawan purush ko peedit hote dekhna kathin tha aur aisa jiwan jiya jo woh nahin tha! Woh itna adhik karne me kabeel tha.

Phir ek din, uska chamatkaar shuru hua.

Usne ek sekrament sabha me bhaag liya jaha uske chote bhaai ne ek mishan ke liye jaae se pehle apni gawaahi di. Sabha me, Danny ko kuch aisa mehsoos hua jo usnee lambe samay se mehsoos nahin kiya tha. Usne Prabhu ke pyaar ko mehsoos kiya. Aakhir me usse ummeed hua.

Haalaanki uski ichcha thee, Danny ke liye badalna mushkil tha. Uske adikshans aur usake saath hone waale dosh jitna woh saha kar saka tha usse lagbhag adhik the.

Ek khaas dopahar, jab main hamari lon kee ghaas kaat raha tha, Danny bina batae apni kaar me aa gae. Woh bahut koshish kar raha tha. Maine ghaas kaatne ki masheen ko band kar diya, aur ham poch ki seedhi par chaaya me ek saath baithe. Tabhi unhonne apne dil ki baat bataya. Woh sach me waapas aana chahata tha. Haalaanki, apne adikshans aur jiwanshailee(lifestyle) se dur hona khub kathin tha. Iske alaawa, woh itna doshee mehsoos kar raha tha, itni dur girne ke liye bahut sharm aa rahi thee. Usne pucha, “Kya mujhe sach me maaf kiya ja sakta hai? Kya sach me lautne ka koi raasta hai?”

Uske baad usne in chintao ke saath apna dil bahalaaya, ham saath me padhte hai Alma chapter 36:

“Haa, Mujhe apne sabhi paap aur dushta samran ho aaye. …

“Haa, … ki Parmeshwar ki upasthithi me jaane ke vichaar se hi meri aatma avnarneeye baye se vyakul ho uthee” (verses 13–14).

Un vesas ke baad, Danny ne kaha, “Mujhe bilkul aisa hee lag raha hai!”

Ham aage bada:

“Jab mujhe apne kayi paap ke yaado ke kaaran dukhi hona pada, aur suno, hamme i bhi yaad aais ki hamaar pita logon se bhavishyevaani kare la taaim bolis raha ki Parmeshwar ke Putra, Ishu Masih, duniya ke paapon ke praeshchit ke liye aaega. …

“Aur Oh, kya anand, aur kya hi shest prakash mainne dekha” (verses 17, 20).

Jaise hee ham in peshaj ko padhate hain, aansoo bahane lagate hain. Alma ka anand hee woh anand tha jiski usse talaash thee!

Hamne charcha kee ki Alma bahut paapi thee . Haalaanki, ek baar pashchaataap karne ke baad, unhonne kabhi piche mudkar nahin dekha. Woh Ishu Masih ke ek wafadaar chela hai. Woh profat ban gaya! Danny ki aankhen phail gae. “Ek profat?” usne kaha.

Ham bas jawaab diya, “Haa, ek profat. Aap par koi dabaav nahin hai!”

Hamne charcha ki ki yadyapi uske paap Alma ke star tak nahin badhe, pura karne ka wahi vaada aur sabhi ke liye purn kshama ki jaati—me aur Ishu Masih ke anant Praeshchit ke maadhyam se.

Danny ab samajh pais. Woh jaanta tha ki use kya karna hai: usse apanee yaatra shuru karne ki zaroorat thee usse Prabhu par bharosa rakhne aur apneaap ko chama kare ke dvaara!

Danny ka dil badlaao ki kisi chamatkaar se kam nahin tha. Samay ke saath uska chehara badal gaya aur uski aankhon ki chamak laut aai. Woh mandir yogye ban gae! Woh waapas aa gaya!

Kai mahino ke baad, mainne Danny se pucha ki kya woh ful-taim mishan ki sewa ke liye aplikaishan karna chahenge. Uski jawaab shauk aur vismay ki thee.

Usne kaha, “ham ek mishan ki sewa karna pasand karunga, parantu tum jaante ho ki main kaha tha aur jo kuch mainne kiya hai! Ham socha ki ham ayogye(disqualified) ho gaya

Hamne jawaab diya, “Tum sahi ho sakte hain. Haalaanki, hamen anurodh karne se koi nahin rokta hai. Yadi tumko chama kiya jaata hai, to kam se kam tum yah jaanenge ki tum Prabhu ki sewa karne ki sachchi ichcha vyakt ki hai.” Uski aankhen chamak uthee. Woh ih vichaar se bahut khush the. Uske liye yah ek lamba shot tha, lekin yah ek mauka tha jise woh lene ko taeyaar tha.

Kuch hi haftey baad, aur uski aashchaarye se, ek aur chamatkar hua. Danny ko ful-taim mishan par sewa karne ke liye kol aaya.

Danny ke mishan feeld me aane ke kuch mahine baad, mujhe ek teleephon kol aaya. Uski president ne bas itna kaha, “Ih jawan purush ke saath kya hai? Woh sabse acche mishanaree hai jise mainne kabhi dekha hai! Aap dekhiye ee president ko aadhunik samay ki Alma the Younger praapt hui thee.

Do saal baad, Danny sammaan ke saath ghar laute, apne pure dil, shakti, dimaag aur taakat se Prabhu ki sewa ki.

Sekrament sabha me uski mishanaree riport ke baad, main ghar lauta, kewal saamane ke daravaaje par dastak sunane ke liye . Waha Danny uski aankhon me aansoo bah rahe the. Usne bola, “Kya ham ek minat ke liye baat kar sakte hain?” Ham bahar gae ussi poch ki siddhi me.

Usne bola, “President, kya tunhe lagta hai ki mujhe vaastav me maaf kar diya gaya hai?”

Ab woh bhi roh raha hai. Mere saamane Ishu Masih ka ek samarpit shishye khada tha jisne Rakshak ke baare me sikhaane aur gawahi dene ke liye apna sab kuch de diya tha. Woh Rakshak ke Praeshchit ki changaee aur mazbooti dene wali shakti ka abhivyakti tha .

Ham bola, “Danny. Kya tum shishaa me dekha hai? Kya tum apan aankhen dekhi hain? Weh roshni se bhare hue hain, aur tum Prabhu ki Aatma se chamak rahe ho. Beshak tumko maaf kar diya gaya hai! Tum ashchaarye ho! Ab tumko woh karna hai jo apni jiwan ke saath aage badhna hai. Piche mat dekho! Vishwaas ke saath agale ordinens ki pratiksha karen.

Danny ka chamatkaar aaj bhee jaaree hai. Usne mandir me shaadi ki aur skool laut aae, jaha usne maastar digree praapt ki. Usne apni niyuktiyon me sammaan aur izzat ke saath Prabhu ki sewa karna jaaree rakhta hai. Adhik mahatvapurn baat yah hai ki woh ek sabse achcha pati aur ek wafadaar pita ban gae hain. Woh Ishu Masih ke samarpit chelapan hain.

President Russell M. Nelson ne sikhaya, “[Rakshak ke] anant Praeshchit ke bina, kisi ummeed ke hamesha ke liye kho diya.”¹ Danny khoya nahin tha, aur na hee ham Prabhu ke paas. Woh hamen uthaane, hamen mazboot karne aur hamen maaf karne ke liye daravaaje par khada hai. Woh hamesha hamen pyaar karna yaad rakhata hai!

Parmeshwar ke bachchon ke liye Rakshak ke prem ka ek sabse achcha pradarshan Mormon Dharamshaastr me darj hai:“Jab Ishu ne iss tarah kaha liya tab Usne bheed parpun idhaar -udhaar apni drisht dalee aur dekha ki logon ki ankhon me ansoo the aur weh taktaki lagae usse dekh rahe the maano weh usse kuch der aur rukhne ka niwedan karna chahate ho” (3 Nephi 17:5).

Rakshak pehle hee pura din logon ki dekhrekh ki sewa me bita chuka tha. Haalaanki, Use aur bhi bahut kuch karana tha—Usse Apni dusri bhedon ko dekhne jaana tha; Usse Apne Pita ke paas jaana tha.

Ih kaartavye ke bauvjood, Usne dekh liya ki log chahate hain ki Woh thodee der ruke. Phir, dayalu se bhare Rakshak ke hrday ke saath, duniya ke itihaas me sabse bade chamatkaaron me se ek hua:

Woh rukh gaya.

Usne unhe ashirvaad diya.

Usne unke bachcho ko ek ke baad ek ka dekhrekh kiya.

Usne unke liye prarthna kiya, aur Usne unke ke liye roya.

Usne unhe changaa kiya. (Dekhiye 3 Nephi 17.)

Uski vaada anant hai: Woh hamen changa karega.

Uske liye jo vaachan ke maarg se bhatak gae hain, krpaya jaan le ki hamesha aasha hoti hai, hamesha changa hota hai, aur hamesha lautne ka raasta hota hai.

Uska aasha ka aanant sandesh dukhi sansaar me rehne waale sabhi logon ke liye heeling baam hai. Rakshak ne kaha, “Main hoon maarg, aur satye, aur jiwan” (John 14:6).

Bhaiyon anr bahanon, ham Usko yaad karne me dhoodhte hai, Usko pyaar karte aur Usko yaad kare.

Hum bhi aake gawahi deta hai ki Parmeshwar jiwit hai, ki Woh humse pyaar karta hai. Hum gawahi deta ki Ishu Masih is duniya ke Rakshak aur Muktidaata hai. Woh hamari mahan changa hai. Mai jaanta hoon ki mera Muktidaata jiwit hai! Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
