Ekyama ky'Okununulibwa

Nga bwe kiri nti buli muti gwesigama ku mirandira gyagwo, bw'atyo buli Mukristayo asaanidde okwesigama ku Katonda.

Laba abakkiriza bwe basaanidde okusimba emirandira gyabwe mu Yesu, omulandira gw'okununulibwa ogutuleetera okuba n'ekigendererwa nga tukyali ku nsi.

Mube n'omwoyo guno mu mmwe, ogwo ogwali mu Kristo Yesu, atali bwe yali mu kifaananyi kya Katonda, teyalowooza kwenkanankana ne Katonda kuba kintu kya kunyagira, naye ne yeefiira, ng'atwala ekifaananyi eky'omuddu, ng'azaalibwa mu kifaananyi ky'abantu. Era bwe yalabika mu kifaananyi ky'omuntu, ne yeetoowaza, ng'agonda okutuusa ku kufa, weewaawo okufa okw'omusaalaba. Katonda kyeyava amugulumiza ennyo n'amuwa erinnya erisinga amannya gonna, Abafiripi 2:5-9.

Tewali muti guyinza kukula okuggyako ku mulandira ogwaguzaala. Mu bulamu bwagwo bwonna, guyinza okuba omulamu mu bulamu obwabadde mu nsigo eyaguwa okubaawo bwokka. Okutegeera obulungi amazima gano nga tugageza ku Adamu ow'olubereberye ne Adamu ow'okubiri kituyamba okutegeera obwetaavu n'engeri y'okununulibwa okuli mu Yesu. Omusota ogw'edda bwe gwayogera ebigambo byagwo eby'okukema mu kutu kwa Kaawa — ogwo eyagobebwa mu ggulu olw'amalala ge, era omuzimu gwe gwonna nga malala — ebigambo ebyo byalina obutwa bwennyini obw'omu magombe.

Bwe yawuliriza n'awaayo okwegomba kwe n'okusiima kwe eri essuubi ery'okuba nga Katonda, ng'amanyi obulungi n'obubi, obutwa bwayingira mu mwoyo gwe, mu musaayi gwe, ne mu bulamu bwe, ne buzikiriza emirembe gyonna obwetoowaze obw'omukisa n'okwesigama ku Katonda okwandituleeteredde essanyu ery'olubeerera. Olw'ekyo, obulamu bwe n'obulamu bw'ekika ekyava mu ye ne bwonooneka okutuuka ku mulandira gwabwo gwennyini olw'amalala ga Setaani yennyini, ekibi ekisingira ddala okwesittaza mu bibi byonna ne mu bikolimo byonna.

Obunaku bwonna ensi kw'ebadde etegekebwa, entalo zaayo zonna n'okuyiwa omusaayi mu mawanga, obwerowoozi bwayo obw'okwefaako n'okubonaabona, okwegomba kwayo n'obuggya, emitima egyamenyeka n'obulamu obukaawereddwa, awamu n'obunaku bwayo obwa buli lunaku, byonna bisibuka mu ekyo amalala gano agakolimirwa, ag'omu magombe, oba agaffe ffe oba ag'abalala, bye gatuleetedde. Malala ge gafuula okununulibwa okwetaagisa. Malala gaffe ge twetaaga okununulibwako. Okutegeera kwaffe obwetaavu bw'okununulibwa kunaasinziira nnyo ku kumanya kwaffe engeri embi ey'amaanyi agayingidde mu bulamu bwaffe. Amaanyi Setaani ge yaggya mu magombe n'agasuula mu bulamu bw'omuntu gakola buli lunaku, buli ssaawa, n'amaanyi amangi mu nsi yonna. Abantu babonyaabonyezebwa gago, gabatiisa, babagalwanyisa, era babagadduka, naye tebamanyi lwe gajja, wadde ekiseera we gafunira obufuzi bwago obw'entiisa.

Si kya kwewuunya nti tebamanyi gaŋŋwanyisibwa wa oba gatyo. Amalala galina omulandira n'amaanyi gaago mu maanyi ag'omwoyo ag'entiisa, ebweru waffe era ne munda yaffe; nga bwe kyetaagisa nti tugaatula era tugaawulize ng'agaffe ffe, era kyetaagisa okugamanya mu nsibuko yaago eya Setaani. Kino bwe kituleeta mu kuggwaamu essuubi lyonna okugawangula oba okugagoba, kijja kutwanguyiriza okutuuka ku maanyi ago agasukka obuntu, mu go gokka mwe muli okununulibwa kwaffe — okununula okwa Omwana gw'Endiga ogwa Katonda. Okulwana okutaliiko ssuubi eri emirimu gy'obwomu n'amalala munda yaffe kuyinza okweyongera obutaba na ssuubi bwe tulowooza ku maanyi g'ekizikiza agali emabega w'ebyo byonna; okuggwaamu essuubi okutuukiridde kunaatusaanyiza obulungi okutegeera n'okukkiriza amaanyi n'obulamu ebiri ebweru waffe naffe, weewaawo obwetoowaze obw'omu ggulu nga bwaleetebwa wansi era ne busembezebwa Omwana gw'Endiga ogwa Katonda, okugoba Setaani n'amalala ge.

Tewali muti guyinza kukula okuggyako ku mulandira ogwaguzaala. Nga bwe twetaaga okutunuulira Adamu ow'olubereberye n'okugwa kwe okumanya amaanyi g'ekibi ekiri munda yaffe, bwe tutyo twetaaga okumanya obulungi Adamu ow'okubiri n'amaanyi ge ag'okutuwa munda yaffe obulamu obw'obwetoowaze obulamu ddala era obunywevu era obufuga nga bwe gwabadde omulimu gw'amalala. Obulamu bwaffe tubuggya mu Kristo era mu ye, mu butuufu, weewaawo mu butuufu okusinga bwe tubuggya mu Adamu era mu ye. Tusaanidde okutambula nga twesimbye emirandira mu ye, nga tunywerera ku Mutwe ogwo omubiri gwonna gwe gukuliramu okukula okuva eri Katonda.

Obulamu bwa Katonda, obwayingira mu buntu mu kufuuka omuntu, gwe mulandira gwe tusaanidde okuyimirirako n'okukulira; ge maanyi go gamu ag'ekitalo agaakolera eyo, era okuva eyo okutuuka ku kuzuukira, agakola munda yaffe buli lunaku. Ekyetaago kyaffe kimu: okwekenneenya, okumanya, n'okwesiga obulamu obwabikkulwa mu Kristo ng'obulamu obukaakati obwaffe, era obulindirira okukkiriza kwaffe bunyweze n'okufuga obuntu bwaffe bwonna.

Mu ndaba eno, kya mugaso ogutategeerekeka nti tusaanidde okuba n'ebirowoozo ebituufu ku ekyo Kristo ky'ali, ku ekyo ekimufuula Kristo mu butuufu, na ddala ku ekyo ekiyinza okubalibwa ng'ekiraga engeri ye entongole, omulandira n'ensa ey'engeri ye yonna nga Omununuzi waffe. Tewali kuddamu okulala wabula kumu: bwe bwetoowaze bwe. Kuki okufuuka omuntu okujjako obwetoowaze bwe obw'omu ggulu, okwefiira kwe n'okufuuka omuntu? Kiki obulamu bwe ku nsi okujjako bwetoowaze; okutwala kwe ekifaananyi eky'omuddu? Era kiki okutangirira kwe okujjako bwetoowaze? “Ne yeetoowaza ng'agonda” (Abafiripi 2:8). Era kiki okulinnya kwe mu ggulu n'ekitiibwa kye, okujjako obwetoowaze obwagulumizibwa ku ntebe ey'obwakabaka ne butikkirwa ekitiibwa? “Katonda kyeyava amugulumiza ennyo” (Abafiripi 2:9). Mu ggulu, gye yali ne Kitaawe, mu kuzaalibwa kwe, mu bulamu bwe, mu kufa kwe, mu kutuula kwe ku ntebe ey'obwakabaka, byonna tewali kirala wabula obwetoowaze.

Kristo bwe bwetoowaze bwa Katonda obwafuuka omubiri mu buntu, Okwagala okw'olubeerera nga kwetoowaza, nga kwambala ekyambalo eky'obuwombeefu n'obukkakkamu okutuwangula, okutuweereza, n'okutulokola. Nga okwagala kwa Katonda n'okwetoowaza kwe bwe kimufuula omugabi, omubeezi, n'omuddu wa bonna, bw'atyo Yesu, olw'obwetaavu, ye yali Obwetoowaze obwafuuka omuntu. Bw'atyo, akyali wakati mu ntebe ey'obwakabaka, Omwana gw'Endiga ogwa Katonda omuwombeefu era omwetoowaze. Kino bwe kiba omulandira gw'omuti, engeri yaagwo eteekwa okulabika mu buli ttabi, olukoola, n'ekibala.

Obwetoowaze bwe buba ekisooka, ekisa ekitwalira awamu byonna eby'obulamu bwa Yesu, obwetoowaze bwe buba ekyama ky'okutangirira kwe, kale obulamu obw'obwomwoyo bwaffe obulungi n'amaanyi gaabwo binaasinziira ddala ku ffe okuteeka ekisa kino nakyo mu maaso, n'okufuula obwetoowaze ekintu ekikulu kye tumusiima, ekintu ekikulu kye tumusaba, ekintu ekimu kye twenyisa okuwaayo ebirala byonna. Si kya kwewuunya nti obulamu bw'Ekikristaayo emirundi mingi bunafu era tebubala bibala ng'omulandira gwennyini ogw'obulamu bwa Kristo tegufiibwako, tegumanyiddwa? Si kya kwewuunya nti essanyu ery'obulokozi liwuliddwa katono nnyo ng'ekyo Kristo kye yazuula era kye yaleeta kinoonyezebwa katono nnyo? Okutuusa obwetoowaze obunaawummulira mu nkomerero n'okufa kw'obwomu, obuwaayo ekitiibwa kyonna eky'abantu nga Yesu bwe yakola okunoonya ekitiibwa ekiva eri Katonda yekka, obwefuula era bwe bwebala nga tewali kintu, Katonda alyoke abeere byonna, Mukama yekka alyoke agulumizibwe — okutuusa obwetoowaze ng'obwo bwe tunoonya mu Kristo okusinga essanyu lyaffe erikulu, era bwe twaniriza ku muwendo gwonna, waliwo essuubi ttono nnyo ery'eddiini erinaawangula ensi.

Sisobola kwegayirira musomi wange n'obunyiikivu bungi bwe kityo, singa obulabufu bwe tebunnaba kussibwa mu ngeri ey'enjawulo ku bbula ery'obwetoowaze eriri munda ye oba ekimwetoolodde, okuwummulako n'okwebuuza obanga alaba bingi eby'omwoyo gw'Omwana gw'Endiga ogwa Katonda omuwombeefu era omwetoowaze mu abo abayitibwa erinnya lye.

Ka alowooze engeri obutaba na kwagala kwonna, obutassaayo mwoyo kwonna eri ebyetaago, enneewulira, n'obunafu bw'abalala, okusala emisango okukalabalaba n'okwanguyiriza n'ebigambo byonna, ebitera okuwolerezebwa nga bigambibwa nti kwa lwatu era kwa mazima.

Enneeyoleka zonna ez'obusungu, obukalubo, n'obunyiivu, enneewulira zonna ez'obukaayu n'okwawukana, byonna birina omulandira gwabyo mu malala agabulijjo geenoonya gokka. Amaaso ge ganaazibulwa okulaba engeri amalala amaddugavu, aga Setaani, bwe gaseeba nga geeyingiza wonna awo, n'okukuŋŋaana kw'abatukuvu nga tekulekeddwa. Ka atandike okwebuuza kye kyandivuddemu singa, mu ye yennyini n'ekimwetoolodde, eri banne abatukuvu n'ensi, abakkiriza baaluŋŋamizibwanga ddala olubeerera obwetoowaze bwa Yesu. Ka ayogere obanga okukaaba kw'omutima gwaffe gwonna, emisana n'ekiro, tekusaanidde kuba nti, Ayi, obwetoowaze bwa Yesu bubeere mu nze ne mu bonna abanneetoolodde!

Ka atereeze omutima gwe mu bwesimbu ku bbula lye ery'obwetoowaze obwabikkulwa mu kifaananyi ky'obulamu bwa Kristo, ne mu ngeri yonna ey'okununulibwa kwe, era anaatandika okuwulira ng'atannamanya ddala Kristo n'obulokozi bwe kye biri. Ggwe omukkiriza! Yiga obwetoowaze bwa Yesu. Kino kye kyama, omulandira ogukwekeddwa ogw'okununulibwa kwo. Bugwemu nnyo buli lunaku.

Kkiriza n'omutima gwo gwonna nti Kristo ono, Katonda gw'akuwadde, nga bwe bwetoowaze bwe obw'obwakatonda bwakukolera omulimu, bw'atyo ajja okuyingira okubeera n'okukola munda yo naawe, n'akufuula ekyo Kitaawe ky'ayagala okuba.

EKIGAMBO B Twetaaga okumanya ebintu bibiri: Ekimu kiri nti obulokozi bwaffe bwonna businziira mu kulokolebwa okuva mu ffe ffennyini, oba ekyo kye tuli olw'obuzaaliranwa, n'ekirala kiri nti mu ngeri y'ebintu byonna, tewali kintu kiyinza kubeera bulokozi buno oba mulokozi gye tuli okuggyako obwetoowaze bwa Katonda obw'engeri eyo obusukka byonna ebiyinza okwogerwa.

N'olwekyo, etteeka ery'olubereberye eritakyuka ery'Omulokozi eri omuntu eyagwa. Omuntu bw'ateeyefiiriza, tayinza kuba muyigirizwa Wange (Matayo 16:24). Obwomu bwe bubi bwonna obw'obuntu obwagwa, so ng'okwefiiriza kwe busobozi bwaffe okulokolebwa. Obwetoowaze gwe mulokozi waffe, so ng'obwomu gwe mulandira, amatabi, n'omuti gw'obubi bwonna obw'embeera yaffe eyagwa. Ebibi byonna eby'bamalayika abaagwa n'abantu bizaalibwa mu malala ag'obwomu. Ku luuyi olulala, empisa zonna ennungi ez'obulamu obw'omu ggulu ze mpisa ez'obwetoowaze.

Bwetoowaze bwokka bwe bukola olukonko olutasomokeka wakati w'eggulu n'amagombe.

Kale kiki, oba kiki ekiri mu kulwana okunene olw'obulamu obutaggwaawo? Byonna biri mu kuwakana wakati w'amalala n'obwetoowaze. Amalala n'obwetoowaze ge maanyi abiri agafuga, obwakabaka bubiri obulwanira okufuna omuntu emirembe gyonna. Tewabangawo, so tewaliba, wabula obwetoowaze bumu, era obwo bwe bwetoowaze bwa Kristo. Amalala n'obwomu bye byonna bya muntu, okutuusa omuntu lw'aba na byonna okuva eri Kristo. N'olwekyo alwana olutalo olulungi oyo yekka gwe okulwana kwe kuli nti obuzaaliranwa obwesinza gwennyini bw'alina okuva eri Adamu buleetebwe mu kufa olw'obwetoowaze obusukka obuntu obwa Kristo obuleetebwa mu bulamu munda ye.
