Obwetoowaze

Kye kinoonyereza ekimpi era ekikebera omutima ku bwetoowaze ng'ekikolo n'akabonero k'obutukuvu bwonna obw'amazima — ekisa ekiwa Katonda ebbanga. Murray agamba nti amalala ye nsibuko ya buli kibi na buli nnaku, era nti obwetoowaze si mpisa emu ku nnyingi, wabula gwe mwoyo gwennyini ogw'ekitonde mu maaso g'Omutonzi waakyo, n'ogw'omwonoonyi alokoleddwa mu maaso g'Omulokozi we, ogulabikira mu bujjuvu mu Kristo, eyeetoowaza okutuuka ne ku kufa.

Yali musumba era omuwandiisi okuva mu South Africa ow'ensibuko ya Scotland, omu ku bawandiisi abasinga okwagalibwa ab'ebitabo by'obulamu bw'Ekikristaayo obw'omunda ennyo. Yawandiika ebitabo bingi ebimpi ku kusaba, obutukuvu, n'okubeera mu Kristo; Obwetoowaze, ekyafulumizibwa mu 1895, kiri mu bisinga okuwangaala, era kitera okwogerwako ng'ekimu ku bisinga obulungi ebyawandiikibwa ku nsonga eno mu lulimi Olungereza.

Kubanga abulaba ng'ettaka mwe mukulira buli kisa ekirala. Agamba nti amalala ge gaali ekibi ekisooka era gakyali maanyi ag'ekyama ag'ebibi ebirala byonna; we gafugira, tewali mpisa nnungi eba mu bukuumi. Obwetoowaze bwokka bwe buwa Katonda ekifo kye n'omuntu ku bubwe ekifo kye ekituufu, okukkiriza, okwagala, n'obutukuvu bibeere bya mazima so si kwerowoozaako mu ngeri enkweke. Mu ndowooza ye, buli kisa ekirala kiba kinywevu nga obwetoowaze obukiri wansi bwe buli.

Alaga Kristo ng'obwetoowaze obulabika: oyo eyeggyako byonna, n'atwala engeri y'omuddu, n'agondera okutuuka ku kufa. Murray akalambira nti obwetoowaze bwaffe si kukoppa Yesu kwokka, wabula kwe kwenyigira mu bubwe — obwetoowaze bwennyini obw'Omwana gw'Endiga owa Katonda obukolebwa mu mukkiriza Omwoyo. Okuba omwetoowaze kwe kuleka endowooza ya Kristo okufuuka eyiyo.

Murray alaga nti obwetoowaze buva mu kye tuli mu maaso ga Katonda mu ngeri ssatu: nga bitonde, ebimubanjibwa obulamu bwennyini era ebyatondebwa okumwesigamako; ng'aboonoonyi, abatalina kye beenyumiriza era abalina byonna eby'okusonyiyibwa; era ng'abatukuvu, abalina byonna bye tulina olw'ekisa era abawa Katonda ekitiibwa. Buli nsonga egaziya eyasooka, ne kiba nti n'obutukuvu bufuuka ensonga ey'obwetoowaze, so si ey'amalala.

Maanyi — era kye kyama ky'omukisa n'okuwummula. Murray agamba nti emmeeme eyeetoowaza y'esinga okuggulwawo eri Katonda, y'esinga obutatawaanyizibwa malala agalumiddwa, era y'esinga okuba n'emirembe, kubanga elekedde awo okulwanirira omuntu ku bubwe gw'etakyabeerera mulamu. Mu kifo ky'okufuula omuntu omutono, obwetoowaze bumununula okuva mu mulimu ogukooya ogw'okwagala okulowoozebwa nti mukulu.

Si okusinga nga afuba okuwulira nga mwetoowaze, wabula nga asemberera Katonda ne Kristo okutuusa omuntu ku bubwe lw'akendeera mu maaso ge, era nga akkiriza okwetoowazibwa okwa buli lunaku mu bulamu obwa bulijjo — okunyoomebwa, okunenyezebwa, n'okuggwaamu essuubi — ng'okuyigiriza kwa Katonda okw'ekisa. Murray alabula nti obwetoowaze obutasobola kugumiikiriza kutwalibwa ng'ekitaliimu tebunnaba kuba bwa mazima, era bulijjo addayo ku Kristo ng'ekyokulabirako era ng'amaanyi.

Ku ntandikwa; ekitabo kimpi era kizimbibwa mu mutendera, okuva ku bwetoowaze mu bulamu bwa Yesu okutuuka ku bwetoowaze ng'okuyitibwa kw'omukkiriza, ekyama kye, n'ekitiibwa kye. Murray yayagala kisomebwe mpola era mu kusaba, era abasomi batera okukizuula nti essuula zaakyo ennyimpi zikebera omutima okusinga obuwanvu bwazo bwe bwandiraze.
