Ebibala Bingi

Buli abeera mu Nze nange ne mbeera mu ye oyo abala ebibala bingi—Yokaana 15:5

Mukama waffe yali ayogedde ku bibala, n’ebibala ebisingawo. Kaakano ayongerako ekirowoozo kino: ebibala bingi. Mu Muzabbibu mulimu obujjuvu bungi nnyo, era okulabirira kw’Omulimi ow’obwakatonda tekuyinza kulemererwa, ne kiba nti ebibala ebingi si kye bakakibwa, wabula kisuubizo kyokka eky’ekyo ekiteekwa okujjira ettabi eriri mu kubeera okw’emirundi ebiri — ye mu Kristo, ne Kristo mu ye. “Oyo abala ebibala bingi.” Kya nkakafu.

Wali weetegerezza enjawulo eriwo mu bulamu bw’Omukristaayo wakati w’omulimu n’ekibala? Ekyuma kiyinza okukola omulimu: obulamu bwokka bwe buyinza okubala ekibala. Etteeka liyinza okukaka omuntu okukola: okwagala kwokka kwe kuyinza okuzaala ekibala nga tekukakiddwa. Omulimu gutegeeza okufuba n’okutegana: naye ekibala, mu nsibuko yaakyo, kye kiva mu bulamu bwaffe obw’omunda mu kasirise, mu butonde, ne mu kuwummula. Omulimi w’ennimiro ayinza okutegana okuwa omuti gwe ogw’ebibala okulima, n’obusa, okufukirira n’okusalira bye gwetaaga; naye tayinza kukola kibala kyennyini: “ebibala eby’Omwoyo bye bino: okwagala, essanyu, emirembe.” Obulamu obuli obulungi bubala ebibala bingi. Enkolagana wakati w’omulimu n’ekibala oboolyawo esinga kulabikira mu bigambo bino: “mubala ebibala mu buli mulimu omulungi” (Abakkolosaayi 1:10). Emirimu emirungi gisiimibwa Katonda nga gijja lwa kuba bibala by’Omwoyo abeera mu ffe. Abantu bayinza okuba abanyiikivu ennyo mu mirimu emirungi nga bakakibwa etteeka n’omutima ogubalumiriza, oba nga basikirizibwa okwegomba n’obunyiikivu, naye ne basanga nga bye bivaamu eby’omwoyo bitono nnyo. Tewali nsonga ndala wabula eno — emirimu gyabwe kufuba kwa muntu, so si bibala by’Omwoyo, ebiva mu Mwoyo ng’akolera mu ffe mu butonde ne mu kuwummula.

Abakozi bonna bajje bawulirize Omuzabbibu waffe omutukuvu ng’abikkula etteeka ly’okubala ebibala ebikakafu era ebingi: “Buli abeera mu Nze nange ne mbeera mu ye oyo abala ebibala bingi.” Omulimi w’ennimiro afaayo ku kintu kimu — amaanyi n’obulamu obulungi bw’omuti gwe: ebibala bigoberera byokka. Bw’oba oyagala okubala ebibala, faayo obulamu bwo obw’omunda bubeere bulungi ddala, n’enkolagana yo ne Kristo Yesu ebeere ntangaavu era ya kumpi. Buli lunaku lutandike naye ku makya, omanye mu mazima nti obeera mu Ye ne Ye abeera mu ggwe. Kristo atugamba nti ekitali ekyo tekimala. Si kwagala kwo wadde okudduka kwo, si lwa maanyi go wadde obuyinza bwo, naye — “lwa Mwoyo wange,” bw’ayogera Mukama. Buli kiseera ekiggya ky’osisinkana, buli mulimu omuggya gw’otandika, gukole ng’okutu kwo n’omutima gwo biggule eri eddoboozi lya Mukama: “Buli abeera mu Nze nange ne mbeera mu ye oyo abala ebibala bingi.” Ggwe faayo ku kubeera mu Ye; Ye alifaayo ku bibala, kubanga y’alibiwa mu ggwe era ng’ayita mu ggwe.

Ow’oluganda wange, Kristo y’ateekwa okukola byonna! Omuzabbibu gwe guwa amasanda, n’obulamu, n’amaanyi: ettabi lirindirira, liwummula, likkiriza, era libala ebibala. Ayi, nga kya mukisa okuba amatabi bwerere, Omwoyo mw’ayita n’aleetera abantu obulamu bwa Katonda!

Nkwegayiridde, funa akaseera osabe Omwoyo Omutukuvu akuyambe okutegeera ekifo ekikulu ennyo ekitayogerekeka ky’olina mu birowoozo bya Katonda. Yakusimba mu Mwana we ng’akuyise era ng’akuwadde amaanyi okubala ebibala bingi. Kkiriza ekifo ekyo. Tunuulira nnyo Katonda ne Kristo, era osuubire n’essanyu okuba ekyo Katonda ky’ateeseteese okukufuula: ettabi eribala ebibala.

Ebibala bingi! Kibe bwe kityo, Mukama Yesu Omutendereze. Kiyinza okubaawo, kubanga Ggwe Muzabbibu. Kirituukirira, kubanga mbeera mu Ggwe. Kiteekwa okubaawo, kubanga Kitaawo ye Mulimi alongoosa ettabi. Weewaawo, ebibala bingi, okuva mu bungi bw’ekisa kyo.
