Mulabe Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda

Yokaana 1:29

Mulabe Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda,

aggyawo ebibi by’ensi!

Emirimu gya Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna mikulu era gya kitalo! Tubeera wakati mu gyo, era akakwate akatono ke gitukolako kalaga bulungi obwonoonefu bwaffe. Mukulu ne mu bintu ebisinga obutono; era tewali kimera, kimuli wadde akawuka, ekitaliiko kabonero ka magezi n’amaanyi agatakoma. Kale twandikwatiddwako nnyo nga tulowooza ku Byonna awamu, singa ekibi tekyaziba magezi gaffe era ne kikakanyaza emitima gyaffe! Ku lubereberye, byonna bwe byali mu kizikiza, nga tebiriiko kifaananyi era nga bijjereere, Ekigambo kye eky’amaanyi kyaleeta ekitangaala, obulamu, obulungi n’entegeka. Yalagira enjuba okwaka n’emmunyeenye ezitambula okwetooloola. Obunene bw’ebitonde businga nnyo ebirowoozo byaffe bye bisobola okutuukako. Emmunyeenye ezitabalika, ensi ezo, wadde nga nnene nnyo zokka, olw’obuwanvu bwe ziri ewala zirabika bulabisi, era gye tuli tezirina mugaso munene gwe tumanyi, okuggyako okugaziya ekirowoozo kyaffe ku bukulu bw’Oyo eyazitonda. Okumanya kwe tulina ku nsengeka yaffe ffekka kutono ddala; naye tumanyi ekimala okulaga nti obutafaayo bwaffe tebulina kyekwasa. Ekitiibwa ky’enjuba kiteekwa okukwata ku buli liiso, era mu mulembe guno ogw’okumanya, bantu batono abatalina ku kirowoozo kye bamanyi ku bunene bw’emmunyeenye ezitambula, n’obwangu n’entegeka y’entambula yaazo. Ate era, ebintu eby’enjawulo ebingi ebyewunda ebitonde bino ebya wansi, engeri ebitundu byabyo gye bikwataganamu n’okwesigama ku binnaabyo, n’engeri byonna gye biweerezaamu omuntu, omutuuze omukulu, awamu n’okukuumibwa kwa buli kimu n’okweyongera kwa buli ngeri y’ebisolo, bino bintu ebitali waggulu wa magezi ga bulijjo, era ebiwa ekifo ekinene ennyo eky’okufumiitiriza n’okwewuunya. Naye abantu abasinga obungi tebabifaako. Okukyuka kw’emisana n’ekiro n’ebiseera by’omwaka ebyetooloola, gye bali bintu bya bulijjo; ng’ebigoberegana awatali nsonga wadde ekigendererwa. Era newaakubadde abakugu, abeewaayo okusoma emirimu gy’obutonde, bawuniikirira olw’obubonero bw’amagezi n’entegeka bye batasobola kutegeera, abatono ku bo okumanya kwe beenyumirizaamu ku bitonde bya Katonda kubaleetera ebirowoozo eby’okussa ekitiibwa mu Katonda. Bwe batyo abantu babeera mu nsi awatali Katonda, newaakubadde nga mu ye mwe babeera abalamu, mwe batambulira, era mwe bali, era nga beetooloddwa buli kiseera obujulizi obusinga okweyoleka obw’okubeerawo kwe n’amaanyi ge. Oboolyawo musisi oba kibuyaga, ng’azuukusa okutya kwabwe, ayinza okubakakaatika okukkiriza nti alina obuyinza ku bo, n’okubaleetera okumukoowoola akaseera akatono; naye bwe balowooza nti akabi kaweddewo, baddamu mu butategeera bwabwe obw’edda.

Kiki ekiyinza okusikiriza amaaso g’ebitonde ng’ebyo oba okugonza obukakanyavu bwabyo? Laba, ekyewuunyo ekirala kimu, ekisinga byonna ebyasooka; ekisembayo era ekisinga obukulu mu bulungi bwa Katonda! Katonda yayagala nnyo aboonoonyi abajeemu era abatasiima, n’abateerawo Omulokozi mu Mwana we omu yekka. Bannabbi baalaba nga bukyali okulabika kwe mu mubiri, ne balagula ebinaavaamu eby’essanyu: nti okubeerawo kwe kunaafuula eddungu ennimiro engimu, nti ajja okuzibula bamuzibe n’okuwa abafu obulamu; okusumulula abasibe; okuggyako omugugu omuzito; n’okuwa abakooye ekiwummulo. Naye enkyukakyuka eyo teyali ya kukolebwa na kigambo kya buyinza kyokka, nga bwe yagamba nti, Wabeerewo obutangaavu, ne waba obutangaavu (Olubereberye 1:3). Kyali kikulu okwogera ensi n’evaayo awatali kintu; naye kyali kikulu nnyo n’okusingawo okununula aboonoonyi okuva mu nnaku. Obulokozi, bw’ali Nnannyini kubuleeta, newaakubadde nga gye tuli bwa bwereere, bwateekwa okumugula ebbeeyi ennene. Okusaasira kwa Katonda nga tekunnaba kuweebwa basobya ng’abo, eddembe ly’obwenkanya bwe, ebyetaagisa amateeka ge, n’ekitiibwa ky’obufuzi bwe byali biteekwa okusooka okulowoozebwako. Okuteekebwawo okw’edda n’okukozesebwa okumaze ebbanga eddene okw’ebiweebwayo, byali biraze bulungi nti waali wetaagibwa okutangirira; naye okutangirira okwa nnamaddala era okutuufu kwali kuyinza kukolebwa Masiya yekka. Omusaayi gw’ensolo ezittiddwa tegwayinza kuggyawo kibi, wadde okulaga obutuukirivu bwa Katonda mu kukisonyiwa. Guno gwe gwali omulimu gwa Masiya ogwalagirwa era ogwalagaanyizibwa, era ye yekka eyali ayinza okugukola. Olw’ekyo kyeyava agamba nti, Nzuuno, nzize (Zabbuli 40:7). Era olw’ekigendererwa ekyo, Yokaana bwe yamulaba, n’amulaga abayigirizwa be, ng’agamba nti, Mulabe Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda!

Ensonga ssatu zitwanjulirwa okulowoozaako,

I. Erinnya eriweereddwa Masiya wano, Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda.

II. Amaanyi g’ekiweebwayo kye, Aggyawo ekibi.

III. Obugazi bwakyo, Ekibi ky’ensi

I.

Ye Mwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda. Omwana gw’endiga ogw’Okuyitako, n’abaana b’endiga abaaweebwangayo buli lunaku, ku makya n’akawungeezi, ng’amateeka ga Musa bwe gaali, baali bateekebwawo Katonda; naye Omwana gw’Endiga ono, okwongerako, ye yennyini yamuwaayo. Abalala baali bifaananyi bubifaananyi [obubonero obw’obunnabbi]. Newaakubadde nga baali bangi, bonna tebaali bamala kutukuza abo abaabawangayo okuva mu musango (Abaebbulaniya 10:1); era bonna baggibwawo, Masiya bwe yamaliriza ekibi, olw’ekiweebwayo kimu eky’obwe yennyini, omulundi gumu ogw’olubeerera, n’aleeta obutuukirivu obutaggwaawo ku lw’abo bonna abakkiriza erinnya lye.

Noolwekyo erinnya lino, Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda, litegeeza okwewaayo kwe mu kifo ky’aboonoonyi, olw’okwagala kwe, abaali basaanidde okufa basobole, olw’okubonaabona kwe n’okufa kwe, okufuna obulamu obutaggwaawo okuyita mu ye era ku lulwe. Abantu bonna baali n’omusango ogw’okumenya amateeka ga Katonda, era nga beeyawudde ku ye. Ekibonerezo eky’obujeemu kyali kigattiddwa ku mateeka ge baamenya; noolwekyo, nga bamenyi b’amateeka, baali bagwanidde okukifuna. Newaakubadde nga kyandibadde kya kwekulumbaza eri obusiriikitu nga ffe okusalawo, ku nsonga zaffe ffekka, oba Omulamuzi ow’oku ntikko ow’ebitonde byonna yandisobodde, awatali kukontana na kitiibwa kye, okusonyiwa ekibonerezo kino awatali kiwoomu, oba nedda; naye olw’okuba yatuwa okubikkulirwa kw’ebyo by’ayagala ku nsonga eno, tusobola okwogera n’obuvumu, ne tugamba nti tekyandikkaanye na mazima ge n’obutukuvu bwe, n’obw’obufuzi bwe obw’empisa, okukikola, kubanga kino kye yennyini kye yayogera. Kaakano tuyinza okukakasa nti okusonyiwa omwonoonyi omu, era ddala ekibi kimu, olw’okusaasira kwokka, awatali kintu kyonna kiyingira wakati, tekyali kya kukkaanya na butakyuka bwa mateeka, n’amazima n’obwenkanya bw’Oyo eyagateeka. Naye okusaasira kwali kugenderera okusonyiwa aboonoonyi abatabalika, nga buli omu ku bo avunaanibwa ebibi ebitabalika. Era ekirango nti Katonda wa kisa bw’atyo, kyali kya kuwandiikibwa n’okumanyibwa mu lwatu, mu mirembe mingi egigobereragana, era nga kituuka ne ku bibi ebitannaba kukolebwa. Ekikolwa ky’ekisa ekigazi bwe kityo era ekitaliiko kye kikwese kyandiyinzizza okuleetera abantu (obutayogera ku bitonde ebisinga amagezi) ebirowoozo ebinyooma obutukuvu bwa Katonda, era kyandiyinzizza n’okubazzaamu amaanyi okwonoona nga basuubira obutabonerezebwa, singa tekyagattibwako ntegeka ey’okulaga nti okukozesa okusaasira kwe kukkaanya ddala n’ekitiibwa ky’obulungi bwe bwonna. Engeri Katonda gye yali ayinza okuba omwenkanya, naye n’aweesa obutuukirivu abo amateeka ge amatuukirivu be gaasalira omusango, yali nsonga nzibu nnyo eri amagezi g’abantu agakoma okugigonjoola (Abaruumi 3:26). Naye mu kino Katonda wa kitiibwa. Amagezi ge gaateesa, n’okwagala kwe ne kugaba, ekkubo erituufu, ery’okubiri temuli. Yabikkulira bajjajjaffe abaasooka ekigendererwa kye, kye yatuukiriza ebiseera bwe byatuuka, eky’okutuma Omwana we, eyazaalibwa omukazi, eyazaalibwa wansi w’amateeka, okununula aboonoonyi okuva mu kikolimo ky’amateeka (Abaggalatiya 4:4, 5), ng’akyetikka ku lwabwe. Bw’olowooza ku kitiibwa ky’obuntu bwe n’obutuukirivu bw’obuwulize bwe, okubonaabona kwe n’okufa kwe olw’ebibi ebitali bibye, kwalaga obubi bw’ekibi, n’obusungu obungi Katonda bw’akirinako, mu kitangaala ekisinga ennyo okwaka okusinga okutuukiriza omusango ku basobya bennyini bwe kwandikoze. Era kulaga obwenkanya bw’omusango ogwo, kubanga ekitiibwa wadde obutukuvu bw’Omweyimirizi tebyayinza kumuwonya kubonaabona; era newaakubadde nga yali Muganzi wa Katonda, teyasaasirwa. Kino kye ntegeera nga njogera ku kutangirira n’okusasula olw’ekibi.

II.

Amaanyi g’okutangirira kuno gatuukiridde. Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda, bw’atyo bwe yattibwa, aggyawo ekibi; omusango gwakyo n’obucaafu bwakyo. Abayisirayiri, bwe baatunuulira omusota ogw’ekikomo (Okubala 21:9), baawonyezebwa okufa ne bawona ebiwundu byabwe. Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda kintu ekiteekeddwa mu maaso, si ga mubiri, wabula ag’omutima, agali, mu muntu eyagwa, mazibe mu buzaaliranwa; naye obubaka bw’Enjiri, nga buleetebwamu obulamu olw’amaanyi g’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, bwateekebwawo okugazibula. Oyo alaba Omwana bw’atyo n’amukkiriza (Yokaana 6:40), aggibwako omusango n’okusalirwa omusango, aweebwa obutuukirivu okuva mu buli kibi. Alina eddembe okwesigama ku kubonaabona kw’Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda mu kifo ky’okubonaabona kwe ye; ku buwulize bwonna obw’Omulokozi okutuuka ku kufa, ng’omusingi n’eddembe ly’okukkirizibwa kwe mu bulamu. Omusango, kwe kugamba okugwanira ekibonerezo, bwe guggibwawo, emmeeme efuna ekkubo eggule ery’okutuuka eri Katonda, era eba yeetegese okufuna emikisa okuva gy’ali. Kuba ng’enjuba, ensibuko y’ekitangaala, bw’ejjuza eriiso eryali erizibe mu kaseera ke lyerabirako, bw’atyo ne Katonda, Ensibuko y’Obulungi, bw’ayakira ebitonde bye byonna ebirina amagezi okusinziira ku busobozi bwabyo, okuggyako nga bizibiddwa ekibi era nga tebikyasobola kussa kimu naye. Kaakano Omulokozi akkirizibwa era atuuzibwa ku ntebe mu mutima, era okuva mu kujjula kwe obulamu bw’ekisa bufunibwa era bukuumibwa. Bwe kityo si musango gwokka ogwaggibwawo, wabula n’okwagala ekibi n’obufuzi bwakyo, nga biwanguddwa ekisa, era omwonoonyi akkiriza eyasonyiyibwa abyegaana n’omutima gwe gwonna [mu bwesimbu]. Omusaayi, ogumuggya mu nnaku, gukuuma mu mutima gwe ekijjukizo ekibuguma eky’akabi akanene n’ennaku gye yawonyezebwa; gumuleetera okwebaza Omununuzi we; era gumuwa ensonga etaggwaawo era emukaka, ey’okuwulira n’essanyu mu byonna.

III.

Obugazi obwagendererwa obw’okuggyawo ekibi kuno okw’obwereere, olw’ekiweebwayo ky’Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda, bwogerwako mu ngeri engazi era etali ya kkomo. Aggyawo ekibi ky’ensi. Bangi ku bampuliriza tekibeetaagisa kubabuulira empaka ez’amaanyi era ez’ebitabo bingi ezizze zikubaganyizibwako ku bugazi bw’okufa kwa Kristo. Ntya nti emigaso gy’empaka ng’ezo tegyenkanankana na bunyiikivu bw’abo abazikubaganya. Nze kennyini, njagala okumanyibwa erinnya limu lyokka, ery’Omukristaayo; era obutakkiriza nsengeka yonna mu bumpumpuggu okuggyako Bayibuli. Bulijjo ngezaako okubuulira eri omutima n’omwoyo ogusalawo ekituufu, n’okwewala [okwesamba], nga bwe nsobola, ensonga zonna ez’empaka. Naye olw’okuba ensonga eno kaakano endi mu maaso, nja kukozesa omukisa guno, era mu bwangu n’obwesimbu, mbabikkulire ebirowoozo by’omutima gwange ku nsonga eno.

Singa kigambibwa nti ddala yagenderera era n’ateekateeka okulokola abantu bonna, kubanga wano okufa kwa Kristo kugambibwa okuggyawo ekibi ky’ensi, oba (nga Omubuulizi w’Enjiri ono bw’akyogera mu kifo ekirala) ensi yonna (1 Yokaana 2:2), ekirowoozo ekyo kyandiwakanyizibwa ebiriwo. Kubanga kya mazima nti abantu bonna tebagenda kulokolebwa (Matayo 7:13, 14). Kitiisa nti ekitundu ekisinga obunene eky’abo abaweerezeddwa Ekigambo ky’obulokozi bwe bazikirira mu bibi byabwe. Noolwekyo, singa ekigendererwa kye tekiyinza kulemererwa, ate nga bangi bazikirira, tekyayinza kuba kigendererwa kye ekinywevu nti abantu bonna balokolebwe ddala era mu bujjuvu.

Omuwendo omunene ennyo, ogwali omufu mu bisobyo ne mu bibi, abaliba ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo ku Lunaku olukulu olw’okulabika kwe, batera okwogerwako mu bigambo eby’enjawulo era ebibasaanira bokka. Bayitibwa endiga ze (Yokaana 10:11, 16), z’awaddeyo obulamu bwe; abalonde be (Makko 13:27), ababe (Yokaana 13:1); abo abaweebwa okukkiriza erinnya lye (Abafiripi 1:29), era ku bo Kitaffe kyamusanyusa okubateekateeka okubafuula abaana (Abaefeso 1:5). Mu buzaaliranwa baali baakubonerezebwa ng’abalala bonna (Abaefeso 2:3); era bo bennyini tebasinga kwagala kukkiriza mazima okusinga abo abagagaana mu bukakanyavu era emirembe gyonna. Bwe bakkiriza, bafuulibwa abakkiriza ku lunaku lw’amaanyi ga Katonda (Zabbuli 110:3); era mwe bayawukanira ku balala, ekisa kye kibaawula (1 Abakkolinso 4:7). Ebifo mu Byawandiikibwa ebiri ku nsonga eno tebibalika; era newaakubadde nga amagezi mangi gakozeseddwa okubigonza n’okubiwalirizza okwogera olulimi lw’endowooza, bitegeerekeka bulungi nnyo nti n’oyo adduka asobola okubisoma. Si lulimi lwa kuteebereza, wabula lwa kuluŋŋamizibwa, nti abo be yamanya olubereberye, yabalonda okufaananyizibwa mu kifaananyi ky’Omwana we (Abaruumi 8:29). Era newaakubadde nga abantu abamu abeegendereza beetawanya n’endowooza ezitali za mugaso era ezireeta obulumi, ku bufuzi bwa Katonda mu ngeri gy’akolamu n’abantu, bonna, bwe baba ab’omwoyo ddala era abaayakirwa, bayimirira ku ttaka lino lyennyini mu bye bayiseemu. Bangi, abalabika okwawukana naffe mu ngeri y’okukubaganya ebirowoozo, bakkiriziganya naffe ddala, bwe boogera obwogezi ku Katonda by’akoledde emmeeme zaabwe. Bamanyi, era bakkiriza mangu nga ffe, nti Ye ye yasooka okubazuula nga tebamunoonya; era nti singa si ekyo, tebandimunoonyezza, era tebandisobodde kumunoonya n’akatono; era tebasobola kuwa nsonga esinga eno, lwaki balokoleddwa okuva mu nsi. Nti Mukama yasiima okubafuula ababe (1 Samwiri 12:22)

Naye, ku ludda olulala, sirowooza nti amakulu g’ekigambo kino gannyonnyolwa bulungi, nga bagamba nti ensi, n’ensi yonna, byogerwako okutuyigiriza nti ekiweebwayo ky’Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda tekyakoma, ng’ebiweebwayo by’Abaleevi, ku ggwanga lya Isirayiri lyokka; wabula nti kigasa ebibi by’omuwendo gw’abantu ogusaliddwawo, abayitibwa Abalonde, abasaasaanye mu mawanga mangi, era abasangibwa mu mbeera nnyingi ez’enjawulo ez’obulamu bw’omuntu. Kino tekiriimu kubuusabuusa nti mazima, okutuuka we gakoma; naye, nga bwe ntegeera, tekikkaanya ddala na ngeri Ebyawandiikibwa gye byogeramu. Nti waliwo okulondebwa okw’ekisa, tuyigirizibwa mu lwatu; naye tekyogerwa nti Yesu Kristo yajja mu nsi okulokola Abalonde, wabula nti Kristo Yesu yajja mu nsi okulokola aboonoonyi, kunoonya n’okulokola abaabula (1 Timoseewo 1:15; Lukka 19:10). Ku musingi guno, ndowooza nti ababuulizi balina eddembe okubuulira Enjiri eri buli kitonde, n’okwogera eri omwoyo gwa buli muntu mu maaso ga Katonda: era nti buli muntu awulira Enjiri eno, olw’ekyo afunye eddembe, okuzzibwamu amaanyi, ddala n’ekiragiro, okujja eri Yesu Kristo olw’obulokozi. Era nti abo abagaana, bwe batyo beggyamu bokka, ne bazikirira, si lwakuba nti tebaalina, wadde nti tebandisobodde kubeera na mugabo mu kutangirira kwe, wabula olw’ensonga emu yokka, nti tebaagala kujja gy’ali balyoke babe n’obulamu. Mmanyi ku bimu ku bigambo ebyekwasa n’endowooza ez’obukujjukujju ezibeera ku nsonga eno, era mmanyi nti nnyinza okunyigirizibwa n’ebizibu bye sisobola kugonjoola mu ngeri emala abo abeebuuza era abaagala okuteebereza. Sinnaggwaamu maanyi olw’okusanga ebintu ebimu, ebisukka obusobozi bwange obutono, mu kitabo kye nzikiriza nti kyaluŋŋamizibwa Oyo amakubo ge n’ebirowoozo bye bisinga ebyaffe obugulumivu, ng’eggulu bwe lisinga ensi obugulumivu (Isaaya 55:8, 9). Naye nzikiriza nti endowooza ezitaliimu, okwekakaba, okwekwata ku mannya n’ebibiina, n’okwagala okuggya endowooza zaffe mu nsengeka z’abantu, mu kifo ky’okuzikola nga tusoma Bayibuli n’obwegendereza n’obwetoowaze, nga tusaba okuyigirizibwa Katonda, bye bisinga okuleeta okutabuka kwaffe n’empaka zaffe.

Obugazi bw’okutangirira butera okwogerwako ng’olinga nti waaliwo okubalirira, obulumi bwenkana wa Omweyimirizi bwe yali ateekwa okugumira, alyoke atangirire ddala omuwendo gwonna ogw’ebibi byonna, eby’Abalonde bonna; nti yabonaabona kyenkana ekyo kyokka, so si kusingawo; era nti ekyetaagisa kino bwe kyamala okutuukirizibwa, n’agamba nti, Kiwedde. N’akutamya omutwe gwe n’awaayo obulamu bwe (Yokaana 19:30). Naye okubalirira kuno okw’obwegendereza ennyo tekulabika kukkaanya na bukulu na kitiibwa ebitaliiko kkomo, ebiwuniikiriza ebirowoozo ebyegendereza, nga bitunuulira engeri Katonda gy’akolamu mu nsi ey’obutonde. Katonda bw’afukirira ensi, agifukirira nnyo (Zabbuli 65:10). Takugira nkuba ku bifo ebirimiddwa, oba ebisobola okulimibwa, wabula, n’obugabi obungi obumusaanira, ebire bye bitonnyesa amazzi, mu bungi bwe bumu, ku lusozi olutaliiko kimera, ku ddungu eririmu ekiwuubaalo, ne ku nnyanja etaliiko kkubo. Lwaki tetuyinza kugamba wamu n’Ebyawandiikibwa nti Kristo yafa okulaga obutuukirivu bwa Katonda (Abaruumi 3:25, 26), okulaga nti mwenkanya mu kuweesa obutuukirivu abatatya Katonda, abakkiriza Yesu? Era nga bwe tutamanyi kirala, okulaga kwe kumu okw’obubi n’omusango gw’ekibi, olw’obulumi n’okufa kw’Omununuzi, kwandibadde kwetaagisa ddala bwe kutyo, newaakubadde ng’omuwendo gw’Abalonde gwandibadde mutono nnyo okusinga bwe gulirabika, bonna bwe balikuŋŋaanira mu maaso g’entebe ey’ekitiibwa. Singa Katonda yatonda ensi eno okubeeramu omuntu omu yekka; singa kyamusanyusa okumuwa ekika n’obungi bw’ekitangaala bwe bumu bwe tufuna; enjuba eyo ey’ekitiibwa, kaakano emala okwakira n’okubudaabuda obukadde n’obukadde bw’abantu, yandibadde yeetaagisa olw’omuntu oyo omu. Bwe kityo, oboolyawo, singa kyamusanyusa okulokola omwonoonyi omu yekka, mu ngeri eyandiraze obwenkanya bwe n’okusaasira kwe mu bujjuvu obusingirayo ddala, kino tekyandisobose mu ngeri ndala yonna, okuggyako eyo gye yalonda okulokola ebibiina ebitabalika, ebiriyimba wamu ku Lunaku Olukulu oluyimba olw’okutendereza Omwana gw’Endiga eyabaagala, n’abanaaza ebibi byabwe mu musaayi gwe ye. Ng’enjuba bw’erina ekitangaala ekimala amaaso, (singa waaliwo bangi bwe batyo abasobola okugitunuulira) agenkana obungi n’ebikoola ku miti n’ebisubi ebimera ku nsi; bwe kityo mu Yesu, Enjuba ey’Obutuukirivu, mulimu okununula okutuukiridde, era ayanukula abo bonna abamukoowoola (Zabbuli 130:7; Abaruumi 10:12); era ayita aboonoonyi awatali kwawula, abaweerezeddwa Ekigambo ky’obulokozi bwe, okutuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi, okumudda, balyoke balokoke (Isaaya 45:22)

Wansi w’enteekateeka y’Enjiri, era okuyita mu yo, Katonda alagira abantu bonna buli wantu okwenenya (Ebikolwa by’Abatume 17:30). Noolwekyo, abantu bonna buli wantu bazzibwamu amaanyi okusuubira okusonyiyibwa, okusinziira ku nteekateeka Enjiri gy’eteekawo; bwe kitaba bwe kityo okwenenya kwandibadde tekusoboka era tekugasa. Era noolwekyo, ekiragiro eky’okwenenya kitegeeza eddembe ery’okukkiriza erinnya lya Yesu, ng’Oyo aggyawo ekibi ky’ensi. Waleme kubaawo agamba nti okuyita abantu okukkiriza, nga kino kikolwa ekisukka amaanyi gaabwe ag’obuzaaliranwa, kwe kubasekerera. Waliwo amakubo agateekeddwawo ag’okufuna okukkiriza, agatasukka maanyi gaabwe ag’obuzaaliranwa okugagoberera, bwe bataba bakakanyavu mu bugenderevu. Tulina Ekigambo kya Katonda ng’obuyinza bwaffe. Katonda tasekererwa (Abaggalatiya 6:7), era naye tasekerera bitonde bye. Mukama waffe teyasekerera mufuzi omuvubuka, bwe yamugamba nti singa atunda ebintu bye eby’oku nsi n’amugoberera, yandibadde n’eby’obugagga mu ggulu (Lukka 18:22). Omufuzi oyo teyalina buyinza kutunda bintu bye? Sibuusabuusa nti ye yennyini yalowooza nti alina obuyinza okubitunda singa ayagala. Naye ng’akyayagala ensimbi ze okusinga bwe yayagala Kristo, era ng’asinza eby’obugagga eby’oku nsi okusinga eby’omu ggulu, teyalina kwagala kubyawukanako. Era obutaba na kwagala, mu kitonde ekirina okusalawo ekirungi n’ekibi, bwe butaba na maanyi mu makulu agasinga obuzito. Waleme kubaawo ayaŋŋanga okuwa Omutonzi we ebyekwaso by’atandikkirizza mu nsonga ze ye. Bw’ogamba ku muntu nti mulimba nnyo nti tasobola kwogera kigambo kya mazima na kimu; avvoola nnyo nti tasobola kwogera nga talayira; mubbi nnyo nti tasobola kuleka mukisa gwonna ogw’okulyazaamaanya oba okubba; oba oyogera ku butasobola bwe okukola ekirungi ng’ekimuwolereza, era kubanga olowooza nti kimuggyako omusango? Ddala olowooza nti gy’akoma obutaagala kukola kirungi, era gy’akoma okumanyiira ekibi, gy’akoma okuba omubi. Omuntu ayinza okwogera obulimba n’okulayira eby’obulimba, ayinza okulimba n’okubba, naye nga mulabe nnyo w’amazima n’obulungi nti tayinza kukola kintu kyonna kya kisa oba kya bwesimbu, ddala muntu wa kutiisa! Teweesalira musango gusinga bulungi, bw’oba ng’osobola okwagala ensi n’essanyu ly’omubiri, naye nga tosobola kwagala Katonda. Bw’oba ng’osobola okutya akasiriikitu nga ggwe, naye ng’obeera awatali kutya Katonda; bw’oba ng’osobola okulinnyirira amateeka ge n’obuvumu, naye nga toyagala, era noolwekyo nga tosobola, kwetoowaza mu maaso ge, n’onoonya okusaasira kwe, mu kkubo lye yateekawo. Tetuyinza kuwa kisa kya Katonda kitiibwa kisukkiridde; naye tuteekwa okwegendereza, nti mu kwefuula abagulumiza ekisa kye, tetuwa bagayaavu n’abatali beesigwa byekwaso olw’obukakanyavu bwabwe n’obubi bwabwe (Matayo 25:16). Katonda wa kisa; naye omuntu avunaanibwenga mu bwenkanya olw’obubi bwe ye, era aleme kwaŋŋanga kunnyonnyola nsonga ye mu ngeri, eyandiraze, mu kugoberera obulungi, nti Katonda omutukuvu ye nsibuko y’ekibi, ky’akyawa era ky’agaana.

Byonna biyinza okufunzibwa mu nsonga bbiri, ze mbakuutira okulowoozaako n’obwegendereza; ze nteekwa okumala obulamu bwange nga nzikakasa, era ze nsuubira obutejjusa nti nazikakasa, ka kibeere mu ssaawa ey’okufa, oba ku Lunaku lw’Omusango, bwe ndiba nga nteekwa okuwa embalirira y’okubuulira kwange, nammwe ku ebyo bye mwawulira mu kifo kino.

Nti kaakano Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda bw’abuulirwa gye muli, ng’aggyawo ekibi ky’ensi, bwe mumugaana, Mukama akiziyize! Nziramu, bwe mumugaana, omusaayi gwammwe gulibeera ku mitwe gyammwe. Mulabuddwa, muyitiddwa. Temwaŋŋanga kugamba nti, Lwaki Katonda atunenya? Ani ayinza okuziyiza by’ayagala? (Abaruumi 9:19). Bw’anaayagala okundokola, nnaalokoka; bw’ataayagale, nnyinza kukola ki? Katonda wa kisa, naye era mutukuvu era mwenkanya; Ayinza byonna, naye amaanyi ge agatakoma gagattiddwa wamu n’amagezi, era galuŋŋamizibwa ebigendererwa ebikulu eby’obufuzi bwe. Ayinza okukola ebintu ebitabalika, by’atagenda kukola. Ky’aligenda okukola (nga bwe kitukwatako), Ekigambo kye kitutegeeza, era ennukuta emu wadde akatonnyeze akamu mu kyo tebirivaawo (Matayo 5:18)
