Okufundikira: Omusumba Omukulu Akyayita

Kaakano omaze ekiseera n’abasajja kkumi abaategeera omulimu gw’obusumba n’obukulu obunenya buli ngeri y’obuweereza ey’okwewummuza eyazze egolokoka okuva mu mirembe gyabwe. Chrysostom yatunda olubiri lw’omulabirizi era n’agenda okufa mu kifo ky’okuwaanawaana ab’obuyinza. Gregory yafuga ekkanisa ey’ebugwanjuba ng’alina ekitiibwa “Omuweereza w’abaweereza.” George Herbert yakyusa ekigo kye ekitono mu myaka esatu, n’afa nga tannalaba makungula. Richard Baxter yakyalira buli maka mu Kidderminster, n’alaba ekibuga kyonna nga kifuuka ekibiina ky’abasinza. Jonathan Edwards yabuulira abantu be okuteesa kwa Katonda kwonna okumala emyaka amakumi abiri mu esatu, n’agobebwa olw’okukikola n’obwesimbu. John Newton yamala obulamu bwe bwonna ng’agaba ekisa ekyamuzuula, wadde nga kyali tekisuubirwa n’akatono. Robert Murray M’Cheyne yafuka obuweereza obutukuvu mu myaka musanvu, n’afa ng’aweza amakumi abiri mu mwenda. A.W. Tozer yamala emyaka amakumi asatu mu gumu mu kkanisa emu e Chicago ng’agaana okubuulira ebyo omulembe bye gwali gwagala okuwulira. Dietrich Bonhoeffer yava mu bukuumi n’adda mu kabi, n’azimba ekibiina eky’obuyigirizwa obw’amazima, n’afiira ku kalabba n’emirembe. Martyn Lloyd-Jones yabuulira ebbaluwa yonna eri Abaruumi okumala emyaka kkumi n’esatu, n’alekera Ekigambo okukola ekyo Ekigambo kyokka kye kiyinza okukola.

Abasajja bano ekkumi batuyita kukola ki? Batuyita, okusooka n’okusinga byonna, okutwala ekifo ky’obusumba nga kikulu. Okulabirira emyoyo si mulimu gwa kuddukanya, wadde ekifo kya kulinnyiramu. Kuyitibwa okw’okutuukiriza, ne bwe kiba kya bbeeyi ki, mu bwesigwa eri Oyo eyayita. Ekisibo si kya musumba; kyagulibwa n’omusaayi ogutali gugwe, era kyamukwasibwa Omusumba ebipimo bye bye bya Kitaffe eyawaayo Omwana we ku lwa buli ndiga kinnoomu. Okukwata obuvunaanyizibwa obwo mu bulagajjavu kwe kulagajjalira teoloji, era abasajja bano ekkumi tebandikutwalidde ddala kuba buweereza bwa busumba.

Era batuyita okubudaabudibwa ekisuubizo. Omusumba Omukulu akyaliwo. Katonda oyo yennyini eyawa Chrysostom amaanyi okugumira obuwaŋŋanguse, eyawa Gregory amagezi okulabirira abantu ab’engeri ebikumi munaana ez’enjawulo, eyawanirira M’Cheyne mu bulwadde, eyatambula ne Bonhoeffer mu kizikiza ky’e Flossenbürg — Katonda oyo ye Katonda ayita buli musumba leero, era asuubiza okuwa buli gw’ayita bye yeetaaga. Omuwandiisi w’Abaebbulaniya akyogera mu bujjuvu obuggya omukka: “Kale, Katonda ow’emirembe eyazuukiza Mukama waffe Yesu, Omusumba w’endiga omukulu ow’endagaano etaggwaawo gye yanyweza n’omusaayi gwe, abawe buli kirungi kyonna kye mwetaaga okubasobozesa okukola by’ayagala, era atukozese ebisiimibwa mu maaso ge ng’ayita mu Yesu Kristo. Aweebwenga ekitiibwa emirembe n’emirembe” (Abaebbulaniya 13:20–21). Omusumba w’endiga omukulu ali wano.

Akyawa amaanyi. Akyakola. Omulimu gw’obusumba si lugendo lwa musajja yekka n’ekibiina kye; kukolera wamu wakati w’omusumba omuntu aweereza wansi we n’Omusumba Omukulu owa Katonda, ateebaka, atalekerera kisibo kye, era ekisa abaweereza be kye beetaaga tekimuggwaako.

Oboolyawo osoma ekitabo kino ng’omusumba akooye. Omulimu muwanvu, ebibala oluusi tebirabika, era obuzito bw’emyoyo gy’olabirira bukunyigiriza mu ngeri abakwetoolodde gye batasobola kutegeera bulungi. Abasajja ekkumi abali mu kitabo kino baali bamanyi obuzito obwo. Tebaabusitula lwa kuba ba kitalo; baabusitula nga baddanga buli kiseera eri Oyo eyabayita okubusitula, nga babukwasa emikono egy’amaanyi egisobola okubwetikka. Baasaba, baasoma, baasigala, era beesiga.

Oboolyawo osoma kino ng’omuntu atannaba mu kifo ky’obusumba naye awulira okuyitibwa nga kutandika okukuyuunga. Omusumba oyo eyayita abasajja bano ekkumi akyayita. Akyanoonya abasajja n’abakazi abanaakkiriza ekisibo kye n’okussaamu ekitiibwa, abanaakirunda n’obugumiikiriza, abanaakikuuma n’obuvumu, era abanaakimuddiza ku nkomerero n’ebigambo nti “Abo be wampa saabuzaako n’omu.” Ogwo gwe muluubirira ogw’obusumba ogusaanidde okubeera nagwo.

Okuyita tekukyuse. Ekisibo kikyetaaga okuliisibwa, okukuumibwa n’okukulemberwa. Emisege gikyali gya ddala. Endiga ezibula zikyabula. Era Omusumba Omukulu akyayogera ekiragiro kye kimu ky’azze ayogera mu buli mulembe: “lundanga endiga zange” (Yokaana 21:16). Ebigambo bisatu. Bimala obulamu bwonna. Abasajja ekkumi abali mu kitabo kino baabiwaayo obulamu bwabwe.

Naffe tukole kye kimu.

“Era ndibawa abasumba abakola ng’omutima gwange bwe gwagala, abalibakulembera mu kumanya era ne mu kutegeera.”

— Yeremiya 3:15
