Ekkubo EryanguEkitabo 5 · Wiiki 33–40

Ye, Kitange, kuno kwe kusaba kwange. Obwesige bwange mu ggwe bunzikiriza okukkiriza n'okutwala ng'eky'omuwendo okumanya nti ojja kweyongera okundaga ekkubo lye ntambuliramu ne Yesu buli lunaku.

Okusooka, Kitange, weebale okunfuula omwana wo omulenzi. Okwokubiri, nnyamba okulaba lwe neetaaga okukangavvulwa, nsobole okukwatulira ekibi kyange era nkuleke okukola buli ekyetaagisa okuntereeza, ndyoke nkugoberere ng'okulembera abaabula.

Kino kitundu ku kusaba Yesu kwe yasaba olw'obumu bwaffe wamu naye mu mitima gyaffe. Okufaayo ku bantu si kwa baabula bokka oba Abakristaayo abeetaaga obuyambi — kwa ne bakozi bannaffe be tukola nabo mu kkanisa ne mu kitundu.

“Naye oluvannyuma kuleeta ekibala eky'emirembe eky'obutuukirivu” — ekyo kye kisumuluzo wano. Awatali kusooka kukkiriza kukangavvulwa n'okukyusibwa, tetusobola kussa mwoyo ku byetaago by'abalala.

Yesu bulijjo yayigiriza era yaweereza abantu be n'okusaasira okungi n'obubaka obwabawa emirembe, naye era yanenya obukulembeze obubulamu. Abo b'oyigiriza beetaaga okulaba emirembe gye mu mutima gwo.

Buno bwe bwetaavu obw'omunda obusinga obukulu obwa buli muntu Katonda gw'akutuma okujulira atannalokoka.

Weebale, Kitange — nnakizuula nti luno lwe lunyiriri lwennyini lwe nnayagala okutandikisa ekiseera eky'okusirika mu Club 180, era kaakano Zabbuli 95:6-7 ze nnyiriri ez'okukozesa mu kiro eky'Okutendereza n'Okusaba nga tulaga e Kentucky.

Tugoberera Kristo era tumugondera kubanga tumwagala era twagala okumusanyusa. Mu kuddamu obuwulize bwaffe, atuwa buli kye twetaaga — nga mw'otwalidde amaanyi g'Omwoyo Omutukuvu — tusobole okuwangula.

Mu lunyiriri oluyise, Katonda yayogerera mu Musa; mu luno, Katonda yennyini ayogerera mu Mwana we. Omulundi guno Yesu assa essira ku kwagala — okwagala kwaffe n'okwagala kwa Kitaffe.

Kaakano tuyingira mu bitundu ebizibu. Oyinza okuba ne mukwano gwo nga obukaawu bwe eri omuntu omulala bumulemesa okukkiriza Yesu Kristo. Sooka omuzze ku buzibu buno.

Abakristaayo bangi nnyo beerese okufugibwa okwagala okuba ekitundu ku nsi eno embi. Bw'obafaako, ojja kunoonya obuyambi bwa Katonda okubanunula n'okubasonga eri Yesu.

Musa yali ayogera ne Yoswa nga Katonda amuteekateeka okukulembera Abaebbulaniya okuyingira mu nsi ensuubize. Naffe tuli beewaayo mu buweereza bwa MUKAMA, newakubadde nga tetusabibwa kukulembera ggye — wabula tusabibwa okuyingira mu bulamu bw'abantu abaawukana ne Katonda, abamu ku bo Abakristaayo abatannayiga kwesiga na kugondera by'ayagala, n'okubayamba okutabaganyizibwa ne Yesu.

Nga bw'omanya abantu Katonda b'akutumyeko, Yesu ajja kukulaga ebyetaago byabwe eby'omunda olwo akusobozese okubasonga gy'ali okuwonyezebwa. Eri omuzibe w'amaaso, kwali kulaba kwe; eri abantu b'osisinkana, kujja kuba kuzibula maaso gaabwe basobole okulaba Yesu.

Kitange, obutuukirivu bwo n'ekisa kyo mu buli mulimu gw'okola kye nzirayo enfunda n'enfunda — nti oli kumpi n'abo bonna abakukoowoola, era okkusa buli kiramu okuva mu mukono gwo oguggule.

Kaakano nga tukukkirizza nga Mukama era Omulokozi, kibudaabuda okumanya nti Yesu asabira obuyigirizwa bwaffe.

Nkozesa olunyiriri luno emirundi ebiri; lwa maanyi nnyo era mazima agakakasa nti nga tukugoberera, Kitange, ne twewaayo era ne tugondera omulimu gwo, oli kumpi.

Kino kitundu ku Kusaba kwa Mukama, era kutusaba okwetunuulira — engeri gye tuddamu embeera z'abantu abatwetoolodde n'engeri abantu gye batuyisizzaamu.

Nga tannaba kino, Pawulo awandiika nti Yesu ajja kusalira omusango abo abanoonya okutukola obubi bwe bateenenya. Wadde guli gutyo, tuyitibwa okubasabira okununulibwa okuva mu kibi, so si kubonerezebwa kwabwe.

Yesu abuuza Peetero ekibuuzo kino emirundi esatu, era buli mulundi ekiragiro kye kiba kimu: bw'oba onjagala, genda oweereze abantu bange.

Nga okwagala kuno bwe kubeera mu nze kubanga kuva gy'oli, nteekwa okunoonya abalala abalina okwagala kwe kumu ne mbaweereza.

Kitange, nga bwe nkutunuulira buli lunaku, ndaba Katonda ow'okwagala era afaayo, oyo wadde ggwe Mutonzi, akyatwagala ne bwe tukujeemera. Ndowooza ku ngeri gye wakwatamu Adamu ne Kaawa abeekweka mu nnimiro oluvannyuma lw'okwonoona — tewajja gye bali n'obusungu nga bwe twandisuubidde, wabula n'omutima ogw'okwagala n'okusaasira, wadde ng'omanyi ssaddaaka ya Mwana wo yennyini eyandyetaagisizza lumu.

Kino kye kisoomooza kyange ku bwange: okussa ennyo omwoyo ku Kristo ne mmuleka okwogerera mu nze eri abo ababula, era ggwe, Mukama, obawalulire gy'oli.

Kino kyali kitundu ku kusaba kw'omutume Yokaana omwagalwa ku lw'abo be yawandiikira. Kifuuse okusaba okw'okwagala kwe wantumira nze ku bwange, Kitange.

Kitange, nkutendereza olw'okuggulawo omulyango olw'enjiri yo buli gy'ontuma.

Luno lwe lunaku MUKAMA lwe yakola; tunaasanyuka era tunaajaguliza omwo.

Buli muntu gwe tutumibwako alina ensibuko y'emu — yatondebwa mu kifaananyi kye — era ekyo kibumba engeri gye tusaanidde okumulabamu n'okumuweereza.

Ng'abazaaliddwa okuva waggulu, buli omu ku ffe asobola okutegeera engeri okussa ekitiibwa, okwewuunya, essanyu n'obuwulize eri Kitaffe ali mu ggulu gye bituleetera essanyu n'omukisa. Naye abo b'atutumako tebannatuuka awo; bwe baba nga baabula, batambulira mu kizikiza eky'obutamatira, nga tebakkiriza kwagala kwa Katonda okutuusa lw'abawalula n'atutuma okubagabanako Yesu.

Kitange, olunyiriri luno nnalusanga ku mutimbagano, nga luwandiikiddwa ku kifaananyi ky'enjuba evaayo ku lusozi. Amakulu gaalwo gali mu ngeri bbiri: olunyiriri lunnyonnyola engeri Omukristaayo gy'atunuuliramu enjuba evaayo, era lunnyonnyola kye tunaalaba leero ku lusozi mu Kingdom Come Park e Cumberland, Kentucky — wadde nga luvannyuma nnyo okuva enjuba lw'evaayo. Nkuwa omukisa, Mukama, olw'obwesigwa bwo eri buli omu ku ffe mu lugendo luno olw'obubaka, n'eri nze naddala, ng'Omwoyo Omutukuvu anywezezza omubiri gwange nsobole okwetaba n'okukulembera ekibinja ekinene bwe kityo olw'ekitiibwa kyo.

Nkutendereza, MUKAMA Katonda Ayinzabyonna, olw'engeri ezitabalika gy'onfaako — omwonoonyi eyalokolebwa olw'okwagala kwo n'Omwana wo Yesu Kristo.

Okusooka, neegamba nti olunyiriri luno terunkwatako, kubanga siri mu abo ababonaabona ennyo ku lulwo, Mukama. Naye olwo ne ndaba abo abanneetoolodde ababonaabona ku lulwo, ne ntegeera nti nteekwa okubayamba mu lutalo lwabwe n'amaanyi ag'obubi.

Yesu yali ayogera ne Peetero mu Yokaana 21:15-17 ku ngeri gye yamwagalamu, ng'amubuuza emirundi esatu nti, “Onjagala?” era ng'afundikira buli mulundi n'okugamba nti, “Liisa endiga zange.” Kaakano wano Katonda ambuuzizza ekibuuzo kye kimu.

Ntunuulira olunyiriri luno mu ngeri bbiri. Okusooka, okuggwaawo kw'obuzibu bw'olubuto obwambonyabonya omwaka oguwedde, era nga bwali bwa buli kiseera omwezi guno — mmanyi nti ggwe, MUKAMA, eyawulira okukaaba kwange n'onfaako n'okusaasira okungi; nkutendereza. Okwokubiri, omutima ogw'obuwanguzi gw'ompadde okuva mu lugendo olw'obubaka e Club 180; wawulira okwegayirira kwange olw'obulagirizi ku lugendo olwo. Omubiri gwange gwali gunnuma, era ebigere byange tebyali bulijjo binywevu, naye ggwe kennyini wannyamba era n'otuma abalala okujjuza ebituli mu mulimu omunene bwe gutyo. Nkutendereza.

Ebigambo ebikulu wano bye “n'omutima gwange gwonna” ne “nga bw'ogambye mu kigambo kyo.” Laba engeri ekibuuzo gye kiddibwamu — ekkubo ery'okukola linnyonnyolwa. Okukuuma omutima gwo nga mulongoofu, oteekwa okumunoonya n'omutima omuwombeefu, okuyita mu Byawandiikibwa.

Mu Yerusaalemi, Pawulo yandikwatiddwa n'aweerezebwa e Ruumi. Wiiki ewedde ku nkomerero yaayo nnawulira Omwoyo ng'ansika okugenda e Cumberland, Kentucky, okumala ennaku ssatu ez'obuweereza — si kiseera kya nnaku nga ekya Pawulo, wabula eky'okujaguza era ekijjudde ekisa kya Katonda eri buli omu ku ffe n'abantu b'e Club 180.

Okuwulira enjiri kwokka tekumala — eteekwa okufunibwa mu kukkiriza okukola omulimu gwayo mu ffe.

Kino kituyigiriza nti abantu bonna baatondebwa mu kifaananyi kya Katonda era bateekwa okwagalibwa.

Abayizi bange — amakumi ataano mu babiri — baakadda okuva mu nnaku ssatu mu nnimiro y'obubaka e Kentucky, era kumpi nneewuunya obusobozi bwabwe obw'okugoberera Kristo; baamuweereza nga baagala abaana be. Eri ensi ey'ebweru, abantu abaabamanya bandikoze nga abantu bwe baakola eri Yesu. Bano baana ba bulijjo abalina Kitaabwe ow'ekitalo ali mu ggulu, abakulembera mu buweereza.

Weegendereze bw'osalawo okubikkula ekigambo kya Katonda buli lunaku n'okuwuliriza eddoboozi lya Mukama waffe era Omulokozi — ekigambo kye tekituyigiriza bintu birungi byokka; kibikkula era kiteeka mu musana buli kibi, obunafu oba obujeemu obwasaasaana, butereevu era mu bigambo ebikakali. Ddamu n'okwenenya, era ajja kukuzzaawo. Kiri ng'okunywa eddagala ekkaawa oba okukola dduyiro ng'omubiri tegunnaba mu mbeera nnungi: ekivaamu mirembe n'obulamu obulungi okusingawo — mu mubiri, mu birowoozo ne mu mwoyo.

Kaakano tugenda ku nteekateeka ey'obuwanguzi — olw'obuwulize n'okubudaabudibwa.

Tulagiddwa okugoberera ekyokulabirako kya Katonda, nga Yesu Kristo bwe yakiraga, tuleme okuwaba okuva ku mazima. Kino kye kibaawo bwe tuwaba: ebikolwa byaffe n'ebirowoozo ebiri emabega waabyo bireka okukwatagana n'ekigambo kya Katonda.

Okuba “abatuukirivu” so si “abafaanana” n'ensi, tuteekwa okuleka Omwoyo Omutukuvu okukyusa ebirowoozo byaffe. Ekyo kiva mu mulimu gwe, so si mu maanyi g'okwagala kwaffe.

Olunyiriri luno lwogera bingi okusinga bwe lulabika okusooka. Lumu nnasoma okufumiitiriza kwa O. S. Hillman okwalaga enjawulo wakati w'okwekolera okufuna ebyetaago by'obulamu n'okukola nga Katonda bw'alagira tusobole okufuna bye tutasobola kwekolera. Bwe tuleka Katonda okukulembera, atuwa ne bye twetaaga ebikulu era atuteekateeka okumuweereza mu buweereza.

Olunyiriri luno kyakulabirako ky'okusalawo okubi okuleeta ebivaamu ebibi. Abantu bangi batandika okuzimba obulamu bwabwe ku nteekateeka gye balowooza nti y'esinga — naye bwe buzimbibwa ku kumanya kw'abantu mu kifo ky'amagezi ga Katonda, buzimbibwa awatali buyambi bwe.

Ennyiriri za wiiki eno zonna zisonga ku mbeera y'emu: omuntu eyabula Katonda gw'akutumyeko ateekwa okukkiriza nti okufuulibwa omutuukirivu, okukyusibwa, n'okufuna ekiwummulo n'emirembe byonna bisinziira ku kusalawo okwetaagisa mu Ebikolwa 4:12.

Luno lwakozesebwa ne wiiki ntono emabega, naye si kyewuunyo — Kitaffe atuzza ku nnyiriri ze zimu emirundi mingi, era buli mulundi alaga amakulu amaggya oba atuwa omukisa okumutendereza n'okusingawo. Olunyiriri luno lujja nga mpulira emirembe emingi n'okwebaza, nga nneeyagalira mu ssanyu ggwe wekka ly'oyinza okuwa oluvannyuma lw'okukulembera abalala mu mikisa egy'okutendereza Katonda.

Kino nnaakakiraba n'abayizi amakumi ataano mu babiri ab'ebibiina ebya wakati n'ebya waggulu n'abantu abakulu kkumi na bana mu Club 180 e Cumberland, Kentucky. Twakwasa Katonda omulimu gwe yali akulaakulanyizza mu ffe, era n'agubumba nga bw'ayagala, by'ayagala bisobole okukolebwa. Bwe tutyo bwe tumanya enteekateeka ye ne tugituukiriza.

Amagezi n'okutegeera bijja nga tusoose okwewombeeka ne tufukamira ku bigere bya Mukama waffe era Omulokozi Yesu Kristo.

Okufaayo ku mbeera ezikwetoolodde kitegeeza okwekaliriza ekitundu kyo — ky'olimu edda n'ekyo Katonda mw'akutuma. Togwa mu bintu ebibi ebirabika ng'ebyegombebwa ennyo, nga Adamu ne Kaawa bwe baakola mu nnimiro. Toleka by'ensi by'eyagala okukuwangula n'okukuggya ku mulimu gwa Kristo; Katonda ajja kukutuma mu bifo ebizibu eby'abeefaako bokka osobole okusonga abantu eri Yesu.

Kirabika ng'ekintu ekibi ennyo okwekweka Katonda olw'obujeemu bwaffe, naye ffenna tukikola — nga tuli baabula, era oluusi nga tukyali Bakristaayo abajeemu. Leka Katonda akuzuule era osooke okukola ku bujeemu bwo, olwo ogende naye ng'akulaga abalala abeekweka, osobole okubasonga eri Yesu.

Waliwo ebisaanyizo ebiteekwa okutuukirizibwa nga tetunnaba kusobola, oba okwagala, okwagala abalala ekimala okubayamba okutabaganyizibwa ne Katonda — tukutteko ku bimu ku byo wiiki eno.

Yesu amanyi ebyetaago eby'omunda ebya buli muntu era abikkulira okubeerawo kwe abo abamunoonya.
