Okwatula kw'Okukkiriza

“Abo bonna baafiira mu kukkiriza, nga tebannafuna ebyasuubizibwa, naye baabirabira wala ne babaaniriza, ne baatula nti bagenyi era batambuze ku nsi. Kubanga abo aboogera bwe batyo balaga lwatu nti banoonya ensi ey’ewaabwe. Singa baali bajjukira ensi eri gye baava, baali bafunye ebbanga okuddayo. Naye kaakano baayagala ensi esingako obulungi, kwe kugamba, eya mu ggulu. Katonda kyava ataswala kuyitibwa Katonda waabwe; kubanga yabateekerateekera ekibuga” (Abaebbulaniya 11:13-16).

Kirabika omuwandiisi w’ekitabo kino ayogera ku ‘abangi’ aboogerwako mu lunyiriri 12, bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu ne Saala abaafa nga Yesu, Masiya waabwe, tannajja. Mu biseera byabwe eby’okukkiriza n’okwesiga Yakuwa, baakkiriza nga bamwetaaga, ‘nga baatula nti baali bagenyi era batambuze ku nsi’ (Abaebbulaniya 11:13). Oba baali mu Misiri, oba mu ddungu, oba mu Babulooni, abaana ba Isirayeri baalinanga okwegomba okw’amaanyi mu mitima gyabwe eri ewaabwe, ekifo ekyo kye baasuubizibwa mu bigambo Katonda bye yagamba Ibulayimu, naye batono ku bo be baayinza okusimba emirandira mu kifo kirala okuggyako mu Kanani oba mu Palesitaayini.

“Ku mbalama z’emigga gya Babulooni, eyo gye twatuula ne tukaaba, bwe twajjukira Sayuuni. Ku miti egy’emiggo egyaliyo gye twawanika ennanga zaffe; kubanga eyo abaatuwamba baatusaba ennyimba, n’abaatujooga baatusaba essanyu, nga bagamba nti, ‘Mutuyimbire oluyimba olumu ku nnyimba za Sayuuni.’

Tunaayimba tutya oluyimba lwa Mukama mu nsi ey’obugwira?” (Zabbuli 137:1-4).

Bandisobodde okusigala mu nsi mwe baazaalirwa, naye omutima gw’omugenyi gwali mu bo. Kino kye kiraga bonna abazzukulu ba Ibulayimu ab’amazima: nti tebawulira nga bali waabwe mu nsi eno. Waliwo enjala ezaalibwa munda yaabwe ey’ebintu ebisingako waggulu, ekibuga eky’omu ggulu Katonda kennyini gwe muzimbi era omukozi waakyo.

Katonda ye yateeka okwegomba kuno mu bo olw’ekikolwa kye eky’okukkiriza kye yasooka okutandika. Abantu ab’okukkiriza bulijjo banaddangamu eri okwegomba okwo.

Mu kuyigiriza kwe ku kukkiriza okuli mu Abaruumi 4:1-12, omutume Pawulo agamba nti, “Tunaayogera tutya ku Ibulayimu?” Yakkiriza Katonda, ne kimubalirwa okuba obutuukirivu. Eri oyo atakola mirimu, naye eyeesiga oyo awa obutuukirivu atatya Katonda, okukkiriza kwe kubalirwa okuba obutuukirivu.

Mu kiseera ekyo, Ibulayimu yali si Muyudaaya eyakomolebwa, kale yabalirwa okuba omutuukirivu ne nga tannaba kufuuka mwana wa ndagaano (ey’Ekiyudaaya). Kino kyali kiryoke kibe nti ye Kitaawe, si w’abo abaakomolebwa (Abayudaaya) bokka, naye era n’ow’abo bonna abalangirirwa okuba abatuukirivu ebweru w’endagaano (ey’Ekiyudaaya). Si kukwata Mateeka (oba emirimu emirungi gyonna) ekufuula omuntu omutuukirivu: wabula kubeera mu kukkiriza kwokka. Ibulayimu kyava atwalibwa okuba kitaawe w’abo bonna abaweebwa obutuukirivu olw’okukkiriza. Kale, ne ffe abali Abaamawanga abatambulira mu kukkiriza, ekisuubizo kya Katonda ekyesigamiziddwa ku kisa kya kakasa. Tuligabana ensi!

“Katonda kyava ataswala kuyitibwa Katonda waabwe; kubanga yabateekerateekera ekibuga” (Abaebbulaniya 11:16).

Wenyweredde ku nsi eno mu ngeri ki? Omuwendo gwo ogusanga mu bugagga bwayo oba mu ttutumu ly’oyinza okukuŋŋaanya? Weetaaga okwettanirwa kwayo n’okusiimibwa kwayo okukuwa ekitiibwa kyo wekka? Oba oli omu ku abo Yesu b’ayita ‘asinga obukulu’ mu bwakabaka bwe?

Lumu abayigirizwa ba Yesu baali bakola ekyo ffe bangi kye twesanyusa. Baali mu kunyumya okusikiriza. Omuntu yandyagadde okulowooza nti kyali ku kintu ekikulu ng’obukuume obw’emirembe n’emirembe oba okusitulibwa nga okubonaabona okunene tekunnatuuka, naye ekyo kyandibadde kubawa ekitiibwa ekisukka ekibagwanira. Mu butuufu, baali bawakana ku ani ku bo eyali asinga obukulu (Makko 9:33-34)! Olw’ekyo, Yesu yatandika okubayigiriza amakulu g’okuba omukulu mu bwakabaka bwe, wano ku nsi, ne mu kibuga ky’abateekerateekera.

1. Bateekwa okuba abaweereza, era abaddu (Makko 10:42-45).

2. Bateekwa okwagala okuba abasembayo era abasinga obutono (Makko 9:35 ne Lukka 9:48).

3. Bateekwa okwetoowaza ng’akaana akato (Matayo 18:4).

4. Bateekwa okuba n’endowooza y’asinga obuto (Lukka 22:26).

Okuyigiriza kuno kwawukana nnyo ku nteekateeka z’obuyinza ez’ensi eno era, eky’ennaku, ku bingi bye tulaba mu bukulembeze bw’ekkanisa leero. Baluwa abakulembeze abaweereza, abatanoonya ttutumu oba kitiibwa ku bwabwe naye nga basanyukira okuba abasembayo era abasinga obutono ng’abalala bafuna ekitiibwa n’ettutumu? Baluwa abakkiriza abali ng’akaana akato, abeeyoleka, abatasobola kulimba kya bbanga, abatakwata nkyawa, era abatanyiiga? Baluwa abasinga obuto ensi mwe teri kyennyweza era abatafaayo nnyo ku kubanja eddembe lyabwe oba okukuuma obuyinza bwabwe?

Baluwa abantu abatambulira mu kukkiriza, abo b’atakwatirwa nsonyi?

Newankubadde abantu bano baabalibwa nga bagenyi mu nsi eno, baamanya ebintu bisatu: 1. Baamanya nti Katonda yasuubiza Ibulayimu.

2. Baamanya nti Yesu yali agenda kutuukiriza ekisuubizo ekyo.

3. Baamanya nti baalina ebibalindiridde eby’ekitiibwa - okutuula mu kibuga kya Katonda.

Nzijukizibwa Yokaana 13:3 Yesu we, “bwe yamanya nti Kitaawe yali awadde ebintu byonna mu mikono gye, era nti yava eri Katonda era yali agenda eri Katonda,” n’alyoka agolokoka n’anaaza ebigere by’abayigirizwa be (Yokaana 13:1-20)! Okuba omuweereza kifuuka kyangu omuntu bw’amanya ekifo kye mu maaso ga Katonda.

Osobola okutunula emabega ku kifo Katonda gye yatandikira omulimu gwe ogw’okukkiriza mu ggwe bwe yakuleeta eri omusaalaba? Otunula mu maaso ng’omanyi nti anaakuleeta mu bibalindiridde eby’ekitiibwa by’akuteekeddeteekedde?

Otambulira mu kukkiriza okutuusa ku bibalindiridde ebyo? Okutambula okutali mu maanyi go wekka, wabula olw’okukukubiriza kwe okuli munda yo?

Okukkiriza kwetaagisa nti tube n’okwolesebwa kw’ebisuubizo bya Katonda n’okwegomba okubeerawo kwe.

Obufunze 1. Abantu ab’okukkiriza tebalyewulira nga bali waabwe mu nsi eno. Bali batambuze, kyebaliva babeera nga bwe kibagwanira.

2. Tebaagala kuddayo mu makubo g’ensi, enkwe zaayo n’obufuzi bwayo, enkola zaayo n’ebirabo byayo, oba essanyu lyayo n’ebisuubizo byayo.

3. Kabaka alangirira nti okuba omukulu oteekwa okuba n’endowooza ey’omuweereza, ey’omwana, ey’asembayo, ey’asinga obutono, n’ey’asinga obuto.

4. Nga bazzukulu mu mwoyo aba Ibulayimu - kitaawe w’abaana ab’okukkiriza - tulina ebibalindiridde eby’ekitiibwa. ‘Tuligabana ensi.’

5. Ebisuubizo bya Katonda ebikulu bijjira abo bokka abaafa eri bo bennyini.

6. Katonda tatuswalira!
