Ekkubo ly’Okukkiriza

“Amangwago Kitaawe w’omwana n’ayogerera waggulu nti, ‘Nzikiriza, naye nnyamba okukkiriza kwange kweyogereko!’” (Makko 9:24).

Ebigambo bino bibadde buyambi na maanyi eri emmeeme nkumi na nkumi nga zinoonya obulokozi n’ebirabo bya Katonda. Weetegereze nti byayogerwa ku lw’omwana eyali abonaabona, mu lutalo lw’okukkiriza, nga banoonya okuwonyezebwa okuva eri Mukama Yesu. Mu byo tulaba nti mu mmeeme y’emu wayinza okubaawo okulwanagana wakati w’okukkiriza n’obutakkiriza, era nti tetutuuka ku kukkiriza Yesu n’obuyinza bwe obutakoma obw’okuwonya abalwadde awatali kulwana. Mu kino mwe tusanga okuzzibwamu amaanyi kwe twetaaga okulaba amaanyi g’Omulokozi nga gakola.

Njogera wano naddala eri abalwadde abatabuusabuusa buyinza oba kwagala kwa Mukama Yesu okuwonya mu mirembe gino awatali kukozesa ddagala lya nsi, naye nga tebalina buvumu kukkiriza kuwonyezebwa ku lwabwe bennyini. Bakkiriza amaanyi ga Kristo ag’obwakatonda, bakkiriza mu ngeri ey’awamu nti ayagala okuwonya; bafunye, oba okuyita mu Byawandiikibwa, oba okuyita mu bujulizi bw’abo Mukama yekka be yawonya mu mirembe gyaffe, okumatira mu magezi nti Mukama ayinza okuyamba nabo; naye bakyadda emabega okukkiriza okuwonyezebwa, n’okugamba n’okukkiriza nti, “Mukama ampulidde, mmanyi nti ali mu kumponya.”

Sooka weetegereze nti awatali kukkiriza tewali ayinza kuwonyezebwa. Kitaawe w’omwana eyali abonaabona bwe yagamba Yesu nti, “Obanga olina ky’osobola okutukolera, tusaasire,” Yesu n’amuddamu nti: “Obanga osobola okukkiriza.” Yesu yalina obuyinza okuwonya era yali mwetegefu okukikola, naye obuvunaanyizibwa abuteeka ku muntu oyo. “Obanga osobola! Buli kimu kisoboka eri oyo akkiriza” (R.V.). Okusobola okufuna okuwonyezebwa kwo okuva eri Yesu, tekimala kusaba. Okusaba awatali kukkiriza tekulina maanyi. “Okusaba kw’okukkiriza” kwe kuwonya omulwadde (Yakobo 5:15). Bw’oba nga wasabye dda Mukama okukuwonya, oba abalala baakusabidde, oteekwa, nga tonnawulira nkyukakyuka yonna, okusobola okugamba n’okukkiriza nti, “Nga nsinziira ku buyinza bw’Ekigambo kya Katonda, nnina obukakafu nti ampulira era nti ndiwonyezebwa.” Okuba n’okukkiriza, mu mbeera yo, kitegeeza okuwaayo omubiri gwo mu mikono gya Mukama ddala ddala, n’okwerekera ddala gy’ali. Okukkiriza kufuna okuwonyezebwa ng’ekisa eky’omwoyo ekiva eri Mukama, ne bwe wataba nkyukakyuka yonna ewulirwa mu mubiri. Okukkiriza kusobola okugulumiza Katonda ne kugamba nti, “Weebaze Mukama, ggwe emmeeme yange. . . n’awonya n’endwadde zo zonna” (Zabbuli 103:1—3). Mukama ayagala okukkiriza kuno alyoke awonye.

Naye okukkiriza okw’engeri eyo kufunibwa kutya? Tegeeza Katonda wo obutakkiriza bw’osanga mu mutima gwo, era weesige nti ajja kukununula mu bwo. Okukkiriza si ssente z’ogula nazo okuwonyezebwa okuva eri Mukama. Ye kennyini y’ayagala okuzuukusa n’okukuza mu ggwe okukkiriza okwetaagisa. Kitaawe w’omwana yakaaba nti, “nnyamba okukkiriza kwange kweyogereko!”

Yali yeegomba nnyo okukkiriza kwe kuleme kubaako kye kubulamu. Yatulira Mukama obuzibu bwonna bw’olina mu kumukkiriza ng’osinziira ku Kigambo kye; mugambe nti oyagala okuggibwako obutakkiriza buno, nti obumuleetera ng’omaliridde okuwuliriza Ekigambo kye kyokka. Tomala biseera ng’okungubagira obutakkiriza bwo, wabula tunuulira Yesu. Omusana gw’amaaso ge gujja kukusobozesa okufuna amaanyi okumukkiriza (Zabbuli 44:3). Akuyita okumwesiga; muwulirize, era olw’ekisa kye okukkiriza kujja kuwangula mu ggwe. Mugambe nti, “Mukama, nkyawulira obutakkiriza obuli mu nze. Kinzibuwalira okukkiriza nti okuwonyezebwa kwange kukakafu kubanga nnina Oyo akuleeta. Naye era njagala okuwangula obutakkiriza buno. Ggwe, Mukama, ojja kumpa obuwanguzi. Njagala okukkiriza, nja kukkiriza; olw’ekisa kyo mpangaala okugamba nti nsobola okukkiriza. Weewaawo, Mukama, nzikiriza, kubanga ojja okunnyamba mu butakkiriza bwange.” Bwe tuba mu kussa ekimu okw’oku lusegere ne Mukama, era omutima gwaffe bwe guddamu ogugwe, obutakkiriza we buwangulirwa ne bumegebwa.

Kyetaagisa era okujulira okukkiriza kw’olina. Maliriza okukkiriza ekyo Mukama ky’akugamba, era okusinga byonna okukkiriza ekyo ky’ali. Weesigame ddala ku bisuubizo bye. “Era okusaba kwabwe nga kuweereddwayo n’okukkiriza, kugenda kumuwonya.” “nze Mukama, nze mbawonya endwadde zammwe” (Okuva 15:26). Tunuulira Yesu, oyo Ekyawandiikibwa gwe kyogerako nti, “Yatuwonya endwadde zaffe, era n’atwala obunafu bwaffe” (Matayo 8:17), era eyawonya bonna abajja gy’ali; weesige Omwoyo Omutukuvu okulaga mu mutima gwo okubeerawo kwa Yesu, ali mu ggulu kaakano, era n’okukola mu mubiri gwo amaanyi g’ekisa kye. Tendereza Mukama nga tolinze kuwulira ng’otereddeko, oba okuba n’okukkiriza okusingawo. Mutendereze, ogambe nga Dawudi nti, “Ayi Mukama, nakukaabirira onnyambe, n’omponya” (Zabbuli 30:2). Okuwonya kwa Katonda kisa kya mwoyo ekiyinza okufunibwa mu mwoyo n’okukkiriza kwokka, nga tonnawulira bikolwa byakyo mu mubiri. Kale kikkirize, era owe Katonda ekitiibwa. Mukama Yesu bwe yalagira omwoyo omubi okuva mu mwana, gwamusikambula nnyo n’aba ng’afudde, n’okuba bangi ne bagamba nti, “afudde.” Kale obulwadde bwo bwe butaggwaawo mangu ago, Setaani n’obutakkiriza bwo bwe bigezaako okukuwangula, tobifaako; nywerera ku Yesu Omuwonya wo, era ddala ajja kukuwonya.
