Mu Kristo

Mubeere mu Nze era nange mbeere mu mmwe. Ng’ettabi bwe litayinza kubala bibala ku bwalyo nga teriri ku muzabbibu, bwe mutyo nammwe temuyinza kubala bibala bwe mutabeera mu Nze. Yokaana 15:4.

Okuyigiriza kwonna kutandikira ku bya kungulu ne kudda ku bya munda. Okumanya bwe kufunibwa ku ky’amazima, mu bigambo oba mu bikolwa, mu butonde oba mu byafaayo, omwoyo guba gwetegese okunoonya amakulu ag’omunda agakwekeddwa omwo. Bwe kityo bwe kiri n’okuyigiriza kw’Ebyawandiikibwa ku Yesu Kristo. Atuteekebwa mu maaso ng’omuntu mu ffe, mu maaso gaffe, waggulu waffe, ng’atukolera omulimu wano ku nsi, ng’ayongera okutukolera omulimu ogwo n’okutuusa mu ggulu.

Abakristaayo bangi tebayitawo wano, Mukama eyagulumizibwa ali ebweru, gwe beesigamira olw’ebyo bye yakola era by’abakolera era by’akola mu bo. Bamanyi era basanyukira katono ku maanyi ag’ekyama eky’amazima ekya Kristo mu ffe, ku kubeerawo kwe okw’omunda, ng’Omulokozi abeera mu ffe. Endowooza esooka era ennyangu ye y’Enjiri esooka essatu; eyookubiri erangibwa mu Njiri ya Yokaana. Esooka gwe mulimu gw’amazima ogulaga mu njigiriza y’Ebyawandiikibwa ey’okuweebwa obutuukirivu. Eyookubiri ye njigiriza ku bumu bw’omukkiriza ne Kristo n’okubeera kwe okutasalako, nga bwe kiyigirizibwa mu ngeri ey’enjawulo Yokaana ne mu bbaluwa eri Abaefeso n’Abakkolosaayi.

Eri Abakristaayo ekitabo kino kye kiwandiikiddwa era abo bonna abasaanira okwetegeka okutwalira Kristo bannaabwe, sisobola kukyogera na buvumu bumala nti: Mulabe nga okubeera mu Kristo ne Kristo okubeera mu mmwe si mazima gokka ge mukwata mu kifo kyago ekituufu mu nteekateeka yammwe ey’enjigiriza ey’Enjiri, wabula nti, ng’ekintu eky’obulamu n’okulaba, kizza obulamu mu kukkiriza kwammwe kwonna mu Kristo n’obumu ne Katonda. Okuba mu kisenge kitegeeza okuba ne byonna ebirimu nga bikuweereza, ebintu byamu, ebiwummuza, ettabaaza zaakyo, empewo yaakyo, obubudamo bwakyo. Okuba mu Kristo, okubeera mu Kristo, n’okumanya kino kye kitegeeza. Si kigambo kya kukkiriza kwa magezi wadde ndowooza, wabula kya mazima ga mwoyo.

Lowooza ku Kristo ky’ali era gy’ali. Mumwekkaanye mu mbeera oba mu mitendera etaano egiraga era egibikkula obutonde bwe n’omulimu gwe. Ye oyo eyafuuka omuntu, gwe tulabiramu engeri obuyinza bwa Katonda bwe bwagatta obulungi obutonde obwa Katonda n’obw’omuntu. Bwe tubeera mu ye, tugabana ku butonde bwa Katonda, ne ku bulamu obutaggwaawo. Ye Omugondi, eyabeera obulamu obw’okwewaayo okutuufu eri Katonda n’okwesiga kwe okutuukiridde. Bwe tubeera mu ye, obulamu bwaffe bufuuka obw’okugonda okutuukiridde eri Katonda ky’ayagala, n’okulindirira obulijjo obuluŋŋamya bwe. Ye Oyo eyakomererwa, eyafiira ekibi era eyafa eri ekibi alyoke akiggyewo. Bwe tubeera mu ye, tuba ba ddembe okuva mu kikolimo kyakyo n’obufuzi bwakyo, era tubeera, nga ye, mu kufa eri ensi n’eri okwagala kwaffe ffe. Ye Oyo eyazuukira, abeera omulamu emirembe n’emirembe.

Bwe tubeera mu ye, tugabana amaanyi ge ag’okuzuukira ne tutambulira mu bulamu obuggya, obulamu obuwangudde ekibi n’okufa.

Ye Oyo eyagulumizibwa, atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka era ng’ayongera omulimu gwe olw’obulokozi bw’abantu. Bwe tubeera mu ye, okwagala kwe kutufuga, era tweewaayo gy’ali akozese mu kukomyawo ensi eri Katonda. Okuba mu Kristo, okubeera mu ye, tekitegeeza kirala wabula nti emmeeme eteekebwa Katonda yennyini wakati mu mbeera eno ey’ekitalo ey’obulamu bwa Kristo obuli obw’omuntu era obwa Katonda mu kiseera kimu, obwaweebwayo ddala eri Katonda, mu kugonda n’okwewaayo, obujjuvu Katonda mu bulamu obw’okuzuukira n’ekitiibwa. Obutonde n’empisa za Yesu Kristo — enneeyisa ze n’okwagala kwe, amaanyi ge n’ekitiibwa kye — bino bye bintu mwe tubeera, empewo gye tussa, obulamu obulamu bwaffe mwe buli era mwe bukulira.

Okweyoleka okujjuvu okwa Katonda n’okwagala kwe okulokola tekuyinza kujja mu ngeri ndala wabula olw’okubeera mu ffe. Olw’obwa Katonda bwa Kristo n’amaanyi ge aga Katonda, asobola, nga bwe tubeera mu ye, okubeera mu ffe. Ng’omutima n’okwagala kwagwo bwe guweebwa gy’ali mu kukkiriza, n’okwagala mu kugonda okukola, ajja n’abeera mu ffe. Tuyinza okwogera kubanga tumanyi — Kristo abeera mu nze.

Kaakano, okudda ku kigendererwa kyaffe ekikulu, obanga obulamu buno, Kristo mu ffe naffe mu ye, bwe bunaaba obulamu bwaffe obw’amazima obwa buli lunaku, omwoyo gwabwo gulina okuzzibwa obuggya n’okunywezebwa mu bumu obw’obuntu ne Katonda bwe tutandika nabwo olunaku mu kusaba okw’oku makya.

Okusemberera kwaffe eri Katonda, ekiweebwayo kyaffe eri Katonda, n’essuubi lyaffe eri Katonda byonna birina kuba mu Kristo, mu bumu obulamu ne ye.

Bw’owulira ng’oyagala okusembera okumpi ne Katonda, okutegeera okubeerawo kwe oba amaanyi ge, oba okwagala kwe, oba by’ayagala, oba omulimu gwe, mu bujjuvu, mu kigambo kimu okufuna Katonda ennyo — jjangu eri Katonda mu Kristo. Lowooza engeri, ng’omuntu ku nsi, gye yasembereramu Kitaffe mu bwetoowaze obungi n’okwesiga, mu kwewaayo okujjuvu n’okugonda okutuukiridde, era ojje mu Mwoyo gwe n’enneeyisa ye, mu bumu ne ye. Noonya okutwala ekifo ekyennyini mu maaso ga Katonda Kristo ky’atutte mu ggulu — eky’okununulibwa okutuukiridde, eky’obuwanguzi obutuukiridde, eky’okuyingira okujjuvu mu kitiibwa kya Katonda.

Twala ekifo ekyennyini mu maaso ga Katonda Kristo kye yatwala ku nsi ng’ali ku kkubo ery’obuwanguzi n’ekitiibwa. Kikole mu kukkiriza amaanyi ge agabeera mu ggwe era agakusobozesa wano ku nsi; osuubire n’obwesige nti okusembera kwo kukkirizibwa si ng’okutuuka kwo bwe kuli, wabula ng’obwesimbu bw’okwewaayo kw’omutima gwo bwe buli, n’okutuukirira kw’okukkirizibwa kwo mu Kristo, olwo olutwalibwa mu maaso mu kkubo omwo, Kristo ng’abeera mu ggwe era ng’ayogera mu ggwe, mwe muliba amazima n’amaanyi.
