Engeri y’Okuyambamu Abo Abatalina Bukakafu n’Abo Abadda Emabega

I. Abo Abatalina Bukakafu.

Abo abatalina bukakafu bayinza okugabibwamu ebibinja bibiri.

1. Abo abatalina bukakafu olw’obutamanya. 1 Yokaana 5:13, kijja kulaga bonna abali bwe batyo nti tusobola okumanya nti tulina obulamu obutaggwaawo. Emirundi mingi bw’obuuza abantu obanga bamanyi nti balokose, oba obanga bamanyi nti ebibi byabwe bisonyiyiddwa, oba obanga bamanyi nti balina obulamu obutaggwaawo, bakuddamu nti, “Nedda, tewali n’omu akimanyi.” Oyinza okubagamba nti, “Weewaawo, Bayibuli egamba nti bonna abakkiriza basobola okukimanya,” olwo n’obalaga 1 Yokaana 5:13. Yokaana 1:12 kiraga nti Kristo awa bonna abamusembeza obuyinza okufuuka abaana ba Katonda. Engeri ennungi ey’okukozesa olunyiriri luno kwe kubuuza omunoonyi ebibuuzo ebirukwatako. “Buli amusembeza aweebwa obuyinza okufuuka ki?” Omunoonyi bw’aba ng’atunuulira olunyiriri n’obwegendereza ajja kuddamu nti, “Omwana wa Katonda.” Olwo omubuuze ekibuuzo ekiddako, “Ggwe omusembezza?” Bw’addamu nti “Yee,” olwo omubuuze nti, “Kale ggwe oli ki?” Kiyinza okwetaagisa okuddamu ensonga eyo emirundi egiwerako, naye ku nkomerero omunoonyi ajja kukiraba agambe nti “Ndi mwana wa Katonda.” Yokaana 3:36 kiyinza okukozesebwa mu ngeri y’emu. Buuza omunoonyi nti “ennyiriri zino zigamba nti ani alina obulamu obutaggwaawo?” “Oyo akkiriza Omwana.” “Ggwe okkiriza Omwana?” “Kale olina ki?” Mu kaseera katono ajja kukiraba agambe nti “Obulamu obutaggwaawo.” Olwo mugambe addiŋŋane emirundi mingi nti “Nnina obulamu obutaggwaawo,” era mugambe afukamire yeebaze Katonda olw’okumuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo. Ekiro kimu nnasanga omuvubuka ng’afukamidde ku nkomerero y’okusinza ng’ali mu nnaku nnyingi. Ne mmulaga okuva mu Bayibuli nga Yesu Kristo bwe yeetikka ebibi bye, ne mmubuuza obanga yandikkirizza Kristo okuba Omulokozi we; n’agamba nti yandimukkirizza; naye yalabika ng’atafunye kitangaala kyonna, n’afuluma mu lukuŋŋaana ng’akyali mu nnaku ey’amaanyi. Ekiro ekyaddako yaliwo nate, ng’agamba nti yakkiriza Kristo naye nga talina bukakafu nti ebibi bye byasonyiyibwa. Nnagezaako okumulaga okuva mu kigambo kya Katonda Katonda ky’ayogera ku abo abakkiriza Omulokozi, naye ekitangaala tekyajja. Ku nkomerero n’ayimuka okuva mu lukuŋŋaana. Nnali nnaakamulaga okuva mu Yokaana 3:36 nti Katonda yagamba nti “Oyo akkiriza Omwana alina obulamu obutaggwaawo.” Bwe yakyuka okunvaako, n’agamba nti, “Ononsabira?” Ne mmugamba nti “Yee.” N’atambulako katono mu kkubo erya wakati, ne mmuyita ne mmugamba nti, “Okkiriza nti nnaakusabira?” N’akyuka ng’eyewuunyizza nnyo n’addamu nti, “Yee, ddala.” “Lwaki olowooza nti nnaakusabira?” ne mmubuuza. “Kubanga wagamba bw’otyo,” bwe yanziramu. Ne mmugamba nti “Ekigambo kya Katonda tekiri kirungi ng’ekyange?” Amangwago n’akiraba, nti wadde yali mwetegefu okukkiriza ekigambo kyange, yali tannaba mwetegefu kukkiriza kigambo kya Katonda, n’afunira awo wennyini obukakafu, n’amanya nti alina obulamu obutaggwaawo. Yokaana 5:24 ne 1 Yokaana 5:12 biyinza okukozesebwa mu ngeri y’emu.

Ebikolwa by’Abatume 13:39 kya mugaso nnyo mu kuyamba ekibinja kino eky’abantu. Buuza omunoonyi nti: “Olunyiriri luno lugamba nti bonna abakkiriza kiki ekibatuukako?” “Baweebwa obutuukirivu.” Olwo omubuuze nti, “Ggwe okkiriza?” “Kale kiki ekikutuuseeko?” Kiyinza okwetaagisa okukiddamu emirundi ebiri oba esatu nga tannakiraba, era bw’anaddamu nti “Naweebwa obutuukirivu,” mugambe yeebaze Katonda olw’okumuwa obutuukirivu era ayatule Kristo, era okakase nti akikola. Abanoonyi bangi ab’ekibinja kino beesittala ku nsonga nti tebalina bujulirwa bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Balage okuva mu 1 Yokaana 5:10 nti obujulirwa bw’ekigambo obukakasa nti bakkirizibwa bumala, era nti bwe batakkiriza bujulirwa buno obwa Katonda mu kigambo kye, baba nga bamufudde mulimba. Era balage okuva mu Abaefeso 1:13, nti oluvannyuma lw’okukkiriza obujulirwa bw’ekigambo, olwo lwe tuba nga Ebyawandiikibwa bwe bigamba nti “ne muteekebwako envumbo eya Mwoyo Mutukuvu eyasuubizibwa.” Omutendera ogw’obutonde ogw’obukakafu guli bwe guti: Ekisooka, okukakasa nti twaweebwa obutuukirivu, nga twesigamye ku “Kigambo kya Katonda.” Eky’okubiri, okwatula Kristo mu lwatu, “na kamwa ke,” Abaruumi 10:10. Eky’okusatu, obujulirwa bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ekizibu kya bangi kiri nti baagala okukyusa omutendera guno, bafune obujulirwa bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu nga tebannayatula Kristo n’akamwa. Okuva mu Matayo 10:32, 33, tuyiga nti bwe twatula Kristo mu maaso g’abantu, naye atwatula mu maaso ga Kitaffe. Tetuyinza mu magezi kusuubira bujulirwa bwa Mwoyo okuva eri Kitaffe nga tetunnaba kwatulwa mu maaso ga Kitaffe. Kale okwatula Kristo kusooka, obujulirwa bw’Omwoyo ne buddirira.

Kikulu nnyo, ng’okozesa ebyawandiikibwa bino, okutegeeza obulungi okukkiriza okulokola bwe kuli; kubanga bangi bayinza okugamba nti bakkiriza so nga tebakkiriza mu makulu g’ebyawandiikibwa bino, bwe batyo ne bafuna obukakafu obw’obulimba ne baba n’essuubi ery’obulimba, ne batafuna kununulibwa n’akatono. Waliwo okukola kungi okutali kwa bwegendereza ku abo abatalina bukakafu. Abakozi baba n’okwagala kungi abanoonyi bave mu lwatu, ne babasindiikiriza okufuna obukakafu so nga tebalina ddembe kuba na bukakafu bwa bulokozi, kubanga ddala tebannakkiriza Kristo.

Yokaana 1:12, ne 2 Timoseewo 1:12, bitegeeza bulungi nnyo okukkiriza kye kuli—okusembeza Yesu oba okwewaayo eri Yesu. Abaruumi 10:10, kijja kukola omulimu gwe gumu nga kiraga nti “omuntu akkiriza na mutima gwe n’aweebwa obutuukirivu.”

2. Abo abatalina bukakafu olw’ekibi. Ekizibu ky’abo abatalina bukakafu, emirundi mingi, kiri nti waliwo ekibi oba empisa ebuusibwabuusibwa gye balina okwatula n’okuleka. Yokaana 8:12; Isaaya 55:7; Engero 28:13; Zabbuli 32:1‒5, byawandiikibwa bya mugaso mu kuyamba ekibinja kino eky’abantu, kubanga biraga nti ekibi bwe kyatulwa ne kirekebwa ne tugoberera Kristo, olwo lwe tufuna okusonyiyibwa, ekitangaala n’obukakafu. Emirundi mingi kiba kirungi, omuntu bw’aba talina bukakafu, okumubuuza ekibuuzo butereevu: “Waliwo ekibi kyonna ky’omanyi ky’okyekutte, oba ekintu kyonna mu bulamu bwo omuntu wo ow’omunda ky’akulumiriza?”

II. Abadda emabega. Waliwo ebibinja bibiri eby’abadda emabega, era buli kimu kirina okuyambibwa mu ngeri yaakyo.

1. Abadda emabega abatafaayo; abo abatalina kwagala kungi kudda eri Omulokozi. Abantu ng’abo kozesa Yeremiya 2:5, obatuuse butereevu ku kibuuzo kino, “Kibi ki kye wasanga mu Mukama?” Balage obutasiima obw’ensonyi n’obusirusiru bw’okuleka Omulokozi era Mukwano bw’atyo. Kiyinzika nnyo nti baawaba olw’okuyisibwa obubi abo abeeyita Abakristaayo, naye bakuume ku nsonga y’engeri Mukama gye yabayisaamu n’engeri gye bamuyisaamu kaakano. Kozesa ne Yeremiya 2:13, obalage kye baaleka ne kye baakyusiza. Basomese olunyiriri, obabuuze nti, “olunyiriri olwo si lwa mazima? Bwe waleka Mukama, tewaleka ‘ensulo ey’amazzi amalamu’ n’odda eri ‘ettanka ez’omu ttaka ezirimu enjatika ezitanyweeramu mazzi?’” Nnyonnyola ekyawandiikibwa ng’olaga obusirusiru bw’okuva ku nsulo y’amazzi amalamu amayonjo n’odda ku ttanka ezaatika oba ebidiba eby’ettosi. Katonda akiwadde nnyo ekitiibwa olunyiriri luno mu kukomyawo abadda emabega gy’ali. Kozesa Yeremiya 2:19. Bwe bamala okulusoma babuuze obanga tebakirabye nti kibadde “ekibi era eky’omutawaana” okuleka Mukama Katonda waabwe. Engero 14:14; 1 Bassekabaka 11:9, ne Lukka 15:13‒17, emirundi mingi biyinza okukozesebwa n’amaanyi eri oyo eyadda emabega atannenenya, nga bimulaga ebiva mu kuwaba kwe. Nnina mukwano gwange bulijjo akozesa Amosi 4:11, 12, era emirundi mingi n’ebivaamu ebirungi.

2. Abadda emabega abakooye okuwaba kwabwe n’ekibi, era abaagala okudda eri Mukama. Bano oboolyawo be bangu okuyamba okusinga ekibinja kyonna kye tusanga. Yeremiya 3:12, 13, ne 22, bijja kubalaga nga Mukama bw’ali omwetegefu okubakkiriza okudda, era nti ky’abasaba kyokka kwe kukkiriza ekibi kyabwe n’okudda gy’ali. Koseya 14:1‒4, kijjudde okuyita okw’ekisa eri abadda emabega abeenenya, era kiraga n’ekkubo ery’okudda eri Katonda. Isaaya 43:22, 24, 25, ne Isaaya 44:20‒22; Yeremiya 29:11‒13; Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 4:28‒31; 2 Ebyomumirembe 7:14; 1 Yokaana 1:9; 2:1‒2, biraga okwagala kwa Katonda okutaggwaawo eri oyo eyadda emabega, n’obwetegefu bwe okumukkiriza okudda. Makko 16:7; 2 Ebyomumirembe 15:4; 33:1‒9, 12, 13, biwa eby’okulabirako by’abantu abaadda emabega ennyo abaakomawo eri Mukama, n’engeri gye yabakkirizaamu n’okwagala okungi, 1 Yokaana 1:9; Yeremiya 3:12‒13; 2 Ebyomumirembe 15:12, 15; 7:14, biraga ddala emitendera oyo eyadda emabega gy’alina okukwata okudda eri Mukama n’okuzzibwa mu kisa kye, kwe kugamba: okwetoowaza, okwatula ebibi bye n’okukyuka okuva mu kibi kye. Lukka 15:11‒24, kiyinza okuba kye kyawandiikibwa ekisinga byonna obugasa mu kuyamba eyadda emabega ayagala okukomawo, kubanga kirimu emitendera gyombi eyadda emabega gy’alina okukwata, n’engeri gy’alyanirizibwamu.

Eyadda emabega bw’amala okukomawo, bulijjo asaanidde okuweebwa ebiragiro ku ngeri y’okubeeramu aleme okudda emabega nate. Ebiragiro ebyo binaasangibwa mu Ssuula 12, ekitundu 15.
