Okukangavvulwa n’Okutukuzibwa

Katonda “atugunjula tugasibwe tulyoke tusobole okugabanira awamu naye mu butukuvu bwe” (Abaebbulaniya 12:10). “buli eyeewala ebintu ebyo ebitali bya kitiibwa anaabanga ow’ekitiibwa, atukuziddwa, asaanira okukozesebwa mukama we, olw’omulimu omulungi” (2 Timoseewo 2:21).

Okutukuza ekintu kwe kukyawula, okukiwonga, eri Katonda n’eri okuweereza kwe. Yeekaalu e Yerusaalemi yali ntukuvu, kwe kugamba nti yali ewongeddwa, nga yaweebwayo eri Katonda ebeere ekifo mw’abeera. Ebintu by’omu yeekaalu byali bitukuvu, kubanga byaweebwayo eri okuweereza kw’omu yeekaalu; bakabona baali batukuvu, nga balondebwa okuweereza Katonda era nga beetegefu okumukolera. Mu ngeri y’emu n’Abakristaayo basaanidde okutukuzibwa, nga bali mu buyinza bwa Mukama, nga “beetegefu okukola buli mulimu omulungi.”

Abantu ba Isirayiri bwe baava mu Misiri, Mukama yabeetwalira okumuweereza ng’eggwanga ettukuvu. “Leka abantu bange bagende, balyoke bansinze” (Okuva 7:16), bw’atyo bwe yagamba Falaawo. Bwe baasumululwa mu buddu bwabwe obukakali, abaana ba Isirayiri baali babanjibwa okuyingira amangu ddala mu kuweereza Katonda, babeere abaweereza be abasanyufu. Okununulibwa kwabwe kwe kwali ekkubo eryabatuusa ku kutukuzibwa kwabwe.

Ne mu biro bino, Katonda yeekolera eggwanga ettukuvu, era Yesu atusumulula tulyoke tubeere ku abo abalikola. Ye “eyeewaayo ku lwaffe, alyoke atununule mu bujeemu bwaffe bwonna, era yeerongooseza eggwanga ery’envuma, erinyiikirira ebikolwa ebirungi” (Tito 2:14, R.V.). Mukama y’amenya enjegere Setaani z’ayagala okutusibamu mu buddu. Ayagala tubeere ba ddembe, ba ddembe ddala okumuweereza. Ayagala okutulokola, okununula emmeeme n’omubiri byombi, buli kitundu ky’omubiri kiryoke kimuweebweyo era kiteekebwe mu buyinza bwe awatali kwekuumako.

Abakristaayo bangi tebannategeera bino byonna; tebamanyi kukitegeera nti ekigendererwa ky’okununulibwa kwabwe kwe kutukuzibwa, nga beetegekeddwa okuweereza Katonda waabwe. Obulamu bwabwe n’ebitundu by’omubiri gwabwe babikozesa okwesanyusa bokka; n’olwekyo tebawulira nga ba ddembe okusaba okuwonyezebwa n’okukkiriza. N’olwekyo, okubakangavvula—balyoke batuuke okwegomba okutukuzibwa—Mukama akkiriza Setaani okubaleetako obulwadde, n’abusinzisa okubasiba mu njegere ng’abasibe (Lukka 13:11, 16). Katonda atugunjula “tugasibwe tulyoke tusobole okugabanira awamu naye mu butukuvu bwe,” era tulyoke tutukuzibwe, nga buli omu “asaanira okukozesebwa mukama we” (Abaebbulaniya 12:10, R.V.; 2 Timoseewo 2:21).

Okukangavvula okuleeta obulwadde kujja n’emikisa mingi. Kuyita omulwadde okufumiitiriza; kumuleetera okulaba nti Katonda amufaako, era ayagala okumulaga ekyo ekikyamwawukanya naye. Katonda ayogera naye, amuyita okwekebera amakubo ge, okukkiriza nti abadde abulwa obutukuvu, era nti ekigendererwa ky’okukangavvulwa kwe kumufuula agabana ku butukuvu bwe. Azuukusa mu ye okwegomba okwakirwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu okutuuka ddala mu buziba bw’omutima gwe, alyoke asobole okutegeerera ddala obulamu bwe bwe bubadde okutuusa kaakano: obulamu obw’okwagala kwe ye, obutafaanana n’akatono obulamu obutukuvu Katonda bw’amwetaagisa. Amuleetera okwatula ebibi bye, okubikwasa Mukama Yesu, n’okukkiriza nti Omulokozi asobola okumununula mu byo. Amukubiriza okwewaayo gy’ali, okumuwonga obulamu bwe, okufa ku nnyini ye alyoke asobole okubeera omulamu eri Katonda.

Okutukuzibwa si kintu ky’osobola kwetuukiriza ggwe kennyini; era tekiyinza wadde kukolebwa Katonda mu ggwe ng’ekintu ky’oyinza okuba nakyo n’okukyetunuulira mu ggwe kennyini. Nedda, Omwoyo Omutukuvu, Omwoyo ow’obutukuvu yekka, y’ayinza okukuwa obutukuvu bwe n’abuzza obuggya buli kiseera. N’olwekyo mu kukkiriza mw’osobola okutuuka “okugabanira awamu naye mu butukuvu bwe.” Bw’otegeera nti Yesu yafuulibwa gy’oli okuva eri Katonda okutukuzibwa (1 Abakkolinso 1:30), era nti mulimu gwa Mwoyo Omutukuvu okukuwa obutukuvu bwe obwalabikira mu bulamu bwe ku nsi, weewaayo gy’ali mu kukkiriza akusobozese okubeera mu bulamu obwo essaawa ku ssaawa. Kkiriza nti Mukama, ku bw’Omwoyo we, alikuyingiza mu bulamu buno obw’obutukuvu n’obw’okwewonga eri okuweereza Katonda, era alikukuumira omwo. Beera bw’otyo mu buwulize obw’okukkiriza, ng’owuliriza bulijjo eddoboozi lye, n’okulungamya kw’Omwoyo we.

Okukangavvula kuno okwa Kitaffe bwe kumala okutuusa omulwadde ku bulamu obw’obutukuvu, Katonda aba atuuse ku kigendererwa kye, era alimuwonya bw’asaba mu kukkiriza. “Bakitaffe ab’omubiri baatugunjulira ennaku si nnyingi. . . . Okukangavvulwa kwonna mu biro ebya kaakano tekufaanana nga kwa ssanyu, kuba kwa bulumi, naye oluvannyuma kuleeta ebibala eby’emirembe eri abo abayigirizibwa, era ekivaamu bwe butuukirivu” (Abaebbulaniya 12:10, 11, R.V.). Weewaawo, omukkiriza bw’atuuka okufuna ebibala bino eby’emirembe eby’obutuukirivu, olwo nno aba atuuse mu mbeera ey’okununulibwa mu kukangavvulwa.

Ayi, olw’okuba abakkiriza bakyategeera kitono nnyo nti okutukuzibwa kitegeeza okwewonga eri Katonda mu bujjuvu, kye bava balemwa okukkiriza ddala nti okuwonyezebwa kujja kugoberera mangu okutukuzibwa kw’omulwadde. Obulamu obulungi emirundi mingi nnyo gye bali buba nsonga ya buweerero na ssanyu lyabwe bokka, bye bayinza okukozesa nga bwe baagala, naye Katonda tayinza kuweereza kwefaako kwabwe bokka bwe kutyo. Singa baali bategeera bulungi nti Katonda ayagala abaana be babeere nga buli omu “atukuziddwa, asaanira okukozesebwa mukama we,” tebandyewuunyizza kumulaba ng’awa okuwonyezebwa n’amaanyi amaggya abo abayize okuteeka ebitundu by’omubiri gwabwe byonna mu buyinza bwe, nga beetegefu okutukuzibwa n’okukozesebwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu kuweereza kwe. Omwoyo ow’okuwonya era ye Mwoyo ow’okutukuza.
