Obuwulize lye Kkubo ery’Obuyinza mu Kusaba

‘Si mmwe mwannonda! Wabula Nze nabalonda, mulyoke mubale ebibala ate ebibala eby’olubeerera. Olwo buli kye munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange anaakibawanga.’—Yokaana 15:16.

‘Okusaba n’omutima omumalirivu ogw’omuntu omutuukirivu, kubeera n’obuyinza bungi.’—Yakobo 5:16.

EKISUUBIZO kya Kitaffe eky’okutuwa buli kye tusaba kizzibwa buggya wano omulundi omulala, mu ngeri etulaga abo abaweebwa obuyinza obw’ekitalo bwe butyo mu kisenge eky’okuteesa eky’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo. ‘Nze nabalonda,’ Omusomesa bw’agamba, ‘mulyoke mubale ebibala, ate ebibala eby’olubeerera;’ n’alyoka ayongerako nti, kale ‘olwo buli kye munaasabanga,’ mmwe ababala ebibala, ‘Kitange mu linnya lyange anaakibawanga.’ Kino si kirala wabula okunnyonnyola mu bujjuvu kye yali ayogedde mu bigambo nti, ‘Bwe munywerera mu Nze.’ Yali ayogedde nti ekigendererwa ky’okunywerera kuno kwe kubala ‘ebibala,’ ‘ebibala ebisingawo,’ ‘ebibala bingi;’ mu kino Katonda mwe yandigulumizibwa, era akabonero k’obuyigirizwa ne kalabika. Kale tekyewuunyisa nti kaakano ayongerako nti, okunywerera okw’amazima bwe kulabikira mu bibala ebingi era eby’olubeerera, ekyo kye kinaatusaanyiza okusaba ne tufuna kye tusaba. Okwewaayo ddala okutuukiriza okuyitibwa kwaffe kye kisaanyiza okusaba okw’amaanyi, era kye kisumuluzo ky’emikisa egitaliiko kkomo egy’ebisuubizo bya Kristo eby’ekitalo ebikwata ku kusaba.

Waliwo Abakristaayo abatya nti ebigambo ng’ebyo bikontana n’enjigiriza y’ekisa eky’obwereere. Naye ddala tebikontana na kisa eky’obwereere bwe kitegeerwa obulungi, wadde n’ebigambo ebingi ebyogera obutereevu mu kigambo kya Katonda ekitukuvu. Laba ebigambo bya Yokaana Omutukuvu (1 Yokaana 3:22): ‘Twagalanenga ne mu bikolwa ne mu bulamu obulabika eri abantu; mu ekyo mwe tutegeerera nga tuli ba mazima, era ne tukkakkanya omutima gwaffe mu maaso ge. Era buli kye tumusaba akituwa, kubanga tugondera ebiragiro bye, era ne tukola ebimusanyusa.’’ Oba laba ebigambo bya Yakobo ebitera okujulirwa: ‘Okusaba n’omutima omumalirivu ogw’omuntu omutuukirivu, kubeera n’obuyinza bungi;’ kwe kugamba, ogw’omuntu oyo, ng’Omwoyo Omutukuvu bw’annyonnyola, ayinza okwogerwako nti, ‘Buli akola eby’obutuukirivu aba mutuukirivu, nga Katonda bw’ali omutuukirivu.’ Weetegereze omwoyo oguli mu Zabbuli nnyingi, ezikoowoola Katonda n’obuvumu nga zeesigama ku bwesimbu n’obutuukirivu bw’oyo asaba. Mu Zabbuli 18, Dawudi agamba nti: ‘Mukama ankoledde ng’obutuukirivu bwange bwe buli, ansasudde ng’ebikolwa byange ebirungi bwe biri. . . . Sisobyanga mu maaso ge era nneekuuma obutayonoona. Noolwekyo, Mukama ansasudde ng’obutuukirivu bwange bwe buli.’ (Zabbuli 18:20-26. Laba ne Zabbuli 7:3-5; 15:1-2; 18:3, 6; 26:1-6; 119:121, 153.) Bwe tufumiitiriza n’obwegendereza ku bigambo ng’ebyo mu kitangaala ky’Endagaano Empya, tujja kulaba nga bituukagana ddala n’okuyigiriza okutegeerekeka obulungi okw’ebigambo by’Omulokozi eby’okusiibula: ‘Bwe munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange olwo munaabanga munyweredde mu kwagala kwange;’ ‘Muba mikwano gyange bwe mukola bye mbalagira.’ Ekigambo kino kigendererwa ddala nga bwe kiri: ‘Nabalonda mulyoke mubale ebibala, olwo,’ kale, ‘buli kye munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange anaakibawanga.’

Tufube okuyingira mu mwoyo gw’ebyo Omulokozi by’atuyigiriza wano. Mu ddiini yaffe ey’enjiri mulimu akabi ak’okutunuulira ennyo oludda olumu lw’ebyo by’etuwa, ng’obumanyirivu obumu obufunibwa mu kusaba ne mu kukkiriza. Waliwo oludda olulala ekigambo kya Katonda lwe kiteekako essira ennyo: obuwulize, nga lye kkubo lyokka erituusa ku mukisa. Kye twetaaga kwe kutegeera nti mu nkolagana yaffe n’Oyo Atalina kkomo gwe tuyita Katonda, eyatutonda era eyatununula, endowooza esooka esaanidde okutukubiriza y’ey’okugonda wansi we: okwewaayo eri obukulu bwe, ekitiibwa kye, by’ayagala n’ebimusanyusa, kwe kusaanidde okuba ekirowoozo ekisooka era ekisinga mu bulamu bwaffe. Ekibuuzo si kya ngeri gye tunaafunamu ekisa kye ne tukinyumirwa, kubanga mu ekyo ekikulu kiyinza okuba nga kikyali ffe ffennyini. Naye Oyo, olw’obutonde bwe yennyini, ky’agwanira mu butuufu, era ky’asaanira awatali kkomo era mu ngeri etayogerekeka, kiri kino: ekitiibwa kye n’ebimusanyusa bibe ekigendererwa kyange kyokka. Okwewaayo eri by’ayagala ebituukiridde era eby’omukisa, obulamu obw’okuweereza n’obuwulize, bwe bulungi n’essanyu ly’eggulu. Okuweereza n’obuwulize, bino bye birowoozo ebyasinga mu mutima gw’Omwana bwe yali ku nsi. Okuweereza n’obuwulize, bino biteekwa okufuuka gye tuli bye tusinga okwegomba n’okuluubirira, okusinga okuwummula oba ekitangaala, oba essanyu oba amaanyi: mu byo mwe tunaasanga ekkubo erituusa ku mikisa gyonna egy’oku ntikko egitulindiridde.

Laba ekifo ekikulu Omusomesa ky’akiwa, si mu ssuula 15 yokka, ng’ayogera ku kunywerera, naye ne mu ssuula 14, w’ayogerera ku Katonda Omu mu Basatu okubeera mu ffe. Mu lunyiriri 15 tulaba nti: ‘Obanga munjagala mugonderenga ebiragiro byange, era Kitange alibawa Omwoyo. Ate olunyiriri 21: ‘Oyo alina ebiragiro byange n’abigondera, y’oyo anjagala;’ era Kitange anaamwagalanga mu ngeri ey’enjawulo, era nange nnaamulabikiranga mu ngeri ey’enjawulo. Era nate, olunyiriri 23, ekimu ku bisuubizo eby’omuwendo ebikulu byonna, era ekisinga obukulu: ‘Omuntu yenna anjagala anaagonderanga ekigambo kyange, era Nze ne Kitange tunajjanga ne tubeera mu ye.’ Ebigambo byandiyinzizza okukyogera mu ngeri etegeerekeka okusinga wano nti obuwulize lye kkubo erituusa ku Mwoyo okubeera mu ffe, ku Ye okubikkula Omwana munda mu ffe, era ku Ye okututegeka okuba ekifo Kitaffe mw’abeera, amaka ge? Katonda Omu mu Basatu okubeera mu muntu bwe busika bw’abo abawulize. Obuwulize n’okukkiriza si birala wabula enjuyi bbiri ez’ekikolwa kimu,—okwewaayo eri Katonda n’eri by’ayagala. Ng’okukkiriza bwe kunyweza omuntu okugonda, nakwo kunywezebwa obuwulize: okukkiriza kutuukirizibwa olw’ebikolwa. Kya kutya nti emirundi mingi okufuba kwaffe okukkiriza tekugasizza, kubanga tetwakwata kifo kyokka okukkiriza okunene mwe kusaanira oba mwe kusobokera,—eky’okwewaayo ddala eri ekitiibwa kya Katonda n’eri by’ayagala. Omuntu eyeewaayo ddala eri Katonda n’eri by’ayagala y’oyo anaafuna amaanyi okusaba byonna Katonda we bye yasuubiza okumubeerera.

Engeri kino gye kikwatamu ku ssomero ly’okusaba nnyangu nnyo, naye ya buzito nnyo. ‘Nze nabalonda,’ Omusomesa bw’agamba, ‘mulyoke mubale ebibala,’ ebibala bingi (ennyiriri 5, 8), ‘ate ebibala eby’olubeerera,’ obulamu bwammwe bubeere obw’ebibala ebibeerera n’okubala okutakoma, ‘olwo’ bwe mutyo, ng’amatabi agabala ebibala nga ganywerera mu Nze, ‘buli kye munaasabanga Kitange mu linnya lyange anaakibawanga.’ Emirundi emingi nnyo tufubye okusaba mu ngeri ey’amaanyi nga twagala ekisa kingi okubala ebibala, ne twewuunya nti okuddibwamu tekwajja. Kyali bwe kityo kubanga twali tukyusa enteekateeka y’Omusomesa. Twayagala okusooka okufuna okubudaabudibwa, essanyu n’amaanyi, tulyoke tukole omulimu mu ngeri ennyangu nga tetuwulira buzibu bwonna wadde okwefiiriza. Naye Ye yayagala tukole ky’agamba mu kukkiriza, nga tetwebuuza oba tuwulira nga tuli banafu oba ba maanyi, oba omulimu muzibu oba mwangu, mu buwulize obw’okukkiriza: ekkubo ery’okubala ebibala lyandituusizza ku kifo n’obuyinza obw’okusaba okuwangula. Obuwulize lye kkubo lyokka erituusa ku kitiibwa kya Katonda. Si buwulize mu kifo ky’okukkiriza, wadde obuwulize okujjuliza ebibulamu mu kukkiriza; nedda, wabula obuwulize obw’okukkiriza bwe butuyingiza mu mikisa gyonna Katonda waffe gy’atutegekedde. Okubatizibwa mu Mwoyo (14:16), okulabikirwa Omwana (14:21), Kitaffe okubeera mu ffe (14:23), okunywerera mu kwagala kwa Kristo (15:10), enkizo ey’omukwano gwe omutukuvu (15:14), n’obuyinza bw’okusaba okuwangula byonna (15:16),—byonna birindiridde abawulize.

Tuteeke ku mutima ebyo bye tuyize. Kaakano tumanyi ensonga enkulu lwaki tetubadde na buyinza mu kukkiriza okusaba okuwangula. Obulamu bwaffe tebwali nga bwe bwandibadde: obuwulize obwangu era obw’amazima, n’okubala ebibala okw’olubeerera, tebyali kabonero kaabwo akakulu. Era n’omutima gwaffe gwonna tukkiriziganya n’enteekateeka ya Katonda: abantu Katonda b’agenda okuwa obuyinza obwenkanidde awo mu kufuga ensi, ne bakolerwa ku lw’okusaba kwabwe ekyo ekitandibaddewo, abantu ab’okwagala kwabwe kulungamya ekkubo okwagala kwa Katonda mwe kunaayita, bateekwa okuba abantu abo bennyini abayize obuwulize, obwesigwa bwabwe n’okugondera obuyinza nga tebiriimu kubuusabuusa n’akatono. Emmeeme yaffe yonna esiima etteeka lino: obuwulize n’okubala ebibala, lye kkubo erituusa ku kusaba okuwangula. Era n’ensonyi tukkiriza nga obulamu bwaffe bukyalina akabonero kano katono nnyo.

Twewaayo tukkirize omulimu Omulokozi gw’atukwasa. Tuyige enkolagana ye naffe nga Omusomesa waffe. Buli lunaku olupya tuleme kuddamu kusooka kulowooza ku kubudaabudibwa, oba ku ssanyu, oba ku mukisa. Ekirowoozo ekisooka kibeere kino: Ndi w’Omusomesa. Buli kaseera na buli kye nkola, nteekwa okweyisa ng’ekintu kye, ng’ekitundu kya Ye yennyini, ng’oyo anoonya kyokka okumanya by’ayagala n’okubikola. Omuweereza, omuddu wa Yesu Kristo,—guno gwe gubeere omwoyo ogunkubiriza. Bw’agamba nti, ‘Sikyabayita baddu, wabula mmwe muli mikwano gyange,’ tukkirize ekifo ky’emikwano: ‘Muba mikwano gyange bwe mukola bye mbalagira.’

Ekintu kimu ky’atulagira ng’amatabi ge kwe kubala ebibala. Tubeerewo okuwa abalala omukisa, okujulira obulamu n’okwagala ebiri mu Yesu. Mu kukkiriza ne mu buwulize tuwaayo obulamu bwaffe bwonna eri ekyo Yesu kye yatulondera era kye yatuteekerawo—okubala ebibala. Bwe tulowooza nga bwe yatulonda olw’ekyo, ne tukkiriza omulimu gwaffe nga guva gy’Ali, Oyo bulijjo atuwa byonna by’atusaba, tujja kweyongera okuba abavumu nga tukakasa nti obulamu obw’okubala ebibala ebingi era eby’olubeerera tusobola okubutuukako. Era tujja kutegeera lwaki okubala ebibala kuno kwokka kwe kuyinza okuba ekkubo erituusa mu kifo ky’okusaba okuwangula byonna. Omuntu oyo, mu buwulize eri Kristo wa Katonda, alaga nti akola Mukama we by’ayagala, Kitaffe gw’anaakolera buli ky’ayagala: ‘Era buli kye tumusaba akituwa, kubanga tugondera ebiragiro bye, era ne tukola ebimusanyusa.’

‘MUKAMA, TUYIGIRIZE OKUSABA.’

Omusomesa Omutendereze! njigiriza okutegeera mu bujjuvu kye ntegeera ekitundu kyokka: nti okuyita mu by’ayagala Katonda byokka, bwe tubikkiriza ne tubikola mu kugondera ebiragiro bye, mwe tufunira obuyinza okukwata by’ayagala mu bisuubizo bye n’okubyefunira mu bujjuvu mu kusaba kwaffe. Era njigiriza nti mu kkubo ery’okubala ebibala, ettabi mwe liyinza okukula ennyo mu Muzabbibu ne lituukirira, era ne tutuuka ku kuba omu naawe mu bujjuvu, mwe tusabira buli kye twagala.

Ayi Mukama! Tubikkulire, tukwegayiridde, nga bwe kiri eri eggye lyonna ery’eggulu, n’eri ggwe wennyini Omwana ng’oli ku nsi, n’eri abantu bonna ab’okukkiriza abaakugulumiza ku nsi, nti okugondera Katonda y’enkizo yaffe esinga obukulu, kubanga kutuyingiza mu kuba omu naye mu ekyo ekisinga okuba ekitiibwa kye—by’ayagala ebituukiridde ddala. Era tubikkulire, tukwegayiridde, nga bwe tunaagonderanga ebiragiro byo ne tubala ebibala nga bw’oyagala, obulamu bwaffe obw’omwoyo bwe bunaakula okutuuka ku kigera ekijjuvu eky’omuntu atuukiridde, nga tulina obuyinza okusaba n’okufuna buli kye twagala.

Ayi Mukama Yesu! Weebikkule gye tuli, era otubikkulire amazima g’ekigendererwa kyo n’obuyinza bwo okufuula ebisuubizo byo bino eby’ekitalo okuba eby’obulamu obwa buli lunaku eri bonna abeewaayo ddala gy’oli n’eri ebigambo byo. Amiina.
