Essanyu

Mbategeezezza ebyo mulyoke mujjule essanyu lyange. Era essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire—Yokaana 15:11

Omuntu yenna bw’abuuza ekibuuzo nti, “Nnyinza ntya okuba Omukristaayo alina essanyu?” okuddamu kwa Mukama waffe kwangu nnyo: “Mbategeezezza ebyo,” ebikwata ku muzabbibu n’amatabi, “mulyoke mujjule essanyu lyange. Era essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.” “Temuyinza kuba na ssanyu lyange awatali bulamu bwange. Mubeere mu Nze era nange mbeere mu mmwe, n’essanyu lyange linaabanga mu mmwe.” Obulamu bwonna obulamu obulungi kintu kya ssanyu na bulungi; beeranga mu bulamu bw’ettabi awatali kwesalamu; ojja kuba n’essanyu lye mu kigera ekijjuvu.

Eri Abakristaayo bangi, ekirowoozo ky’obulamu obubeera mu Kristo ddala kirowoozo kya kwenyigiriza n’okufuba okw’obulumi. Tebasobola kulaba nti okwenyigiriza n’okufuba ebyo bijja kyokka nga tetunneewaayo awatali kwekomako eri obulamu bwa Kristo mu ffe. Ebigambo ebisooka ddala eby’olugero tebinnaba kubabikkulirwa: “Nze muzabbibu ogw’amazima; neetikka byonna era ngaba byonna; ettabi sirina kye ndisaba okuggyako lyewe gye ndi ddala, era lindeke nkole byonna. Neeyama okufuula ettabi n’okulikuuma nga liri byonna bye lisaanidde okuba.” Tekisaanidde kubeera ssanyu eritakoma era eritasalako okulaba Omuzabbibu nga gukola byonna bwe gutyo, n’okumanya nti tewali mulala wabula Omwana wa Katonda omutendereze, mu kwagala kwe, y’atusitula buli kaseera era y’akuuma obulamu bwaffe?

Mulyoke mujjule essanyu lyange—Tulina okuba n’essanyu lya Kristo yennyini mu ffe. Era essanyu lya Kristo yennyini lye liruwa? Tewali ssanyu lifaanana kwagala. Tewali ssanyu wabula okwagala. Kristo yali yaakamala okwogera ku kwagala kwa Kitaffe n’okubeera kwe yennyini mu kwo, era ku ngeri gye yatwagalamu n’okwagala okwo kwennyini. Essanyu lye si kirala wabula essanyu ly’okwagala, ery’okwagalibwa n’ery’okwagala. Lyali ssanyu ery’okufuna okwagala kwa Kitaawe n’okubeera mu kwo, n’oluvannyuma essanyu ery’okugabira abalala okwagala okwo n’okukufukira ku boonoonyi. Essanyu lino ly’ayagala tugabaneko: essanyu ery’okwagalibwa Kitaffe ne Ye; essanyu ery’okwagala naffe n’okubeerawo ku lw’abo abatwetoolodde. Lino lye ssanyu ery’okuba amatabi ddala: okubeera mu kwagala kwe, n’oluvannyuma okwewaayo mu kwagala okubala ebibala ku lw’abalala. Ka tukkirize obulamu bwe, nga bw’abutuwa mu ffe nga ye Muzabbibu, essanyu lye lijja kuba lyaffe: essanyu ery’okubeera mu kwagala kwe, essanyu ery’okwagala nga Ye, ery’okwagala n’okwagala kwe.

Era essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire—Liryoke liwere, mulyoke mulijjule. Nga kya nnaku nti twetaaga nnyo okujjukizibwa nti, nga Katonda yekka bw’ali ensulo y’essanyu lyonna, “Katonda wange era essanyu lyange eritasingika,” ekkubo lyokka ery’okuba n’essanyu erituukiridde kwe kufuna ku Katonda, ku by’ayagala ne ku kussa ekimu naye, nga bwe kisoboka okusingawo! Eddiini egendereddwa okuba, mu bulamu obwa buli lunaku, ekintu eky’essanyu eritayogerekeka. Kale lwaki bangi beemulugunya nti si bwe kiri? Kubanga tebakkiriza nti tewali ssanyu lifaanana ssanyu ery’okubeera mu Kristo ne mu kwagala kwe, n’okuba amatabi Ye mw’ayinza okuyisa okwagala kwe okukufukira ku nsi efa.

Ai, singa eddoboozi lya Kristo lyandituuse ku mutima gwa buli Mukristaayo omuto, ne limusikiriza okukkiriza nti essanyu lye lye ssanyu lyokka ery’amazima, nti essanyu lye liyinza okufuuka eryaffe ne litujjuza ddala, era nti ekkubo ekikakafu era eryangu ery’okubeera mu lyo kwe—kino kyokka—okubeera ng’amatabi mu Ye, Omuzabbibu gwaffe ogw’omu ggulu. Amazima gano gatuyingire nnyo munda—kasita essanyu lyaffe liba nga terinnajjula, kiba kabonero nti tetunnamanya bulungi Muzabbibu gwaffe ogw’omu ggulu; buli kwegomba kw’essanyu erisingawo obujjuvu kulina kutusindika kyokka okubeera mu kwagala kwe mu ngeri ennyangu okusingawo era mu bujjuvu obusingawo.

Essanyu lyange—essanyu lyammwe. Ne mu kino bwe kiri: ng’omuzabbibu bwe guli, n’ettabi bwe liri; omuzabbibu gwonna mu ttabi. Essanyu lyo lye ssanyu lyaffe—essanyu lyo mu ffe, n’essanyu lyaffe nga lituukiridde. Mukama Omutendereze, nzijuza essanyu lyo—essanyu ery’okwagalibwa n’okuweebwa omukisa n’okwagala okw’obwakatonda; essanyu ery’okwagala abalala n’okubawa omukisa.
