Ensonga 3: Enjiri ey`Amazzi n`Omwoyo
[3-3] Yesu Kristo Yajja mu Mazzi, Musaayi, ne Omwoyo Omutukuvu (1 Yokaana 5:1-12)
“Buli muntu yenna akkiriza nga Yesu ye Kristo, ng’azaaliddwa God: na buli ayagala eyazaala ayagala n’oyo gwe yazaala. Ku ekyo kwe tutegeerera nga twagala abaana ba God, bwe twagala God ne tukola ebiragiro bye. Kubanga kuno kwe kwagala kwa God ffe okukwatanga ebiragiro bye: era ebiragiro bye tebizitowa. Kubanga buli ekyazaalibwa God kiwangula ensi; era kuno kwe kuwangula okwawangula ensi, okukkiriza kwaffe. Era awangula ensi ye ani, wabula akkiriza nga Yesu ye Mwana wa God? Oyo ye yajja n’amazzi n’omusaayi, Yesu Kristo; si na mazzi gali gokka, naye n’amazzi gali n’omusaayi guli. Era Omwoyo y’ategeeza, kubanga Omwoyo ge mazima. Kubanga abategeeza basatu, Omwoyo n’amazzi n’omusaayi; era abasatu abo bagendera wamu. Bwe tukkiriza okutegeeza kw’abantu, okutegeeza kwa God kwe kusinga obukulu: kubanga okutegeeza kwa God kwe kuno nti ategeezezza eby’Omwana we. Akkiriza Omwana wa God alina okutegeeza mu ye; atakkiriza God ng’amufudde mulimba; kubanga takkiriza kutegeeza God kw’ategeezezza eby’Omwana we. Era okutegeeza kwe kuno nti God yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu obwo buli mu Mwana we. Alina Omwana alina obulamu; atalina Mwana wa God talina bulamu.”
| Yesu yajja mu ki? |
| Amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu |
Yesu yajja ng’ayita mu mazzi? Yee, Yakikola. Yajja olw’okubatizibwa kwe. Amazzi kwe kubatiza kwa Yesu okwa Yokaana omubatiza ku mugga Yoludaani. Kyali kubatiza kwa bununuzi kwe yaggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna.
Yesu yajja musaayi? Yee, Yakikola. Yajja mu mubiri gw’omuntu n’abatizibwa okuggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna, oluvannyuma n’asasula empeera y’ekibi ng’avaamu omusaayi ku Musaalaba. Yesu yajja mu musaayi.
Yesu yajja ku Mwoyo? Yee, Yakikola. Yesu yali God, naye yajja ng’ Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu mubiri okubeera Omulokozi w’aboonoonyi.
Abantu bangi tebakkiriza nti Yesu yajja mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Batono bokka abakkiriza nti ddala Yesu ye Kabaka wa bakabaka, God wa bakatonda. Abantu abasinga bakyebuuza nti, “Yesu ddala ye Mwana wa God oba Mwana w’omuntu?” Era bangi, omuli ab’amadiini n’abasumba, bakkiriza Yesu ng’omuntu, si nga God, Omulokozi, era nga God Omutebenkevu.
Naye God yagamba nti omuntu yenna akkiriza nti Yesu ye Kabaka wa bakabaka bonna, God ow’amazima, era Omulokozi ow’amazima yandibadde azaalibwa ye. Abo abaagala God baagala Yesu, n’abo abakkiriza mu mazima God baagala Yesu mu ngeri y’emu.
Omuntu tasobola kuwangula nsi. Omutume Yokaana yatugamba nti Abakristaayo ab’amazima bokka be basobola okuwangula ensi. Ensonga lwaki abeesigwa bawangula ensi eri nti balina okukkiriza mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’ Omwoyo Omutukuvu gwa Yesu. Amaanyi ag’okuwangula ensi tegayinza kuva mu kwagala kw’omuntu, okufuba kwe, oba obunyiikivu.
“Bwe njogera n’ennimi z’abantu n’eza bamalayika, naye ne ssiba na kwagala, nga nfuuse ekikomo ekivuga n’ebitaasa ebisaala. Era bwe mba ne bunnabbi ne ntegeera ebyama byonna n’okutegeera kwonna; era bwe mba n’okukkiriza kwonna, n’okuggyawo ne nzigyawo ensozi; naye ne ssiba na kwagala, nga ssiri kintu. Era bwe ngabira abaavu bye nnina byonna okubaliisanga, era bwe mpaayo omubiri gwange okwokebwa, naye ne ssiba na kwagala, nga ssiriiko kye ngasizza.” (1 Abakkolinso 13:1-3) “Okwagala” okwogerwako wano kitegeeza Yesu, eyajja mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
Yekka Akkiriza Amazzi n’Omusaayi Asobola Okuwangula Ensi
| Ani ayinza okuwangula ensi? |
| Oyo akkiririza mu kununulibwa kw’okubatiza kwa Yesu, omusaayi gwe n’omwoyo gwe |
Mu 1 Yokaana 5:5-6, “Era awangula ensi ye ani, wabula akkiriza nga Yesu ye Mwana wa God? Oyo ye yajja n’amazzi n’omusaayi, Yesu Kristo.”
Bakristaayo bannaffe, Oyo eyawangula ensi, eyawangula Sitaani ye Yesu Kristo. Oyo akkiririza mu kigambo ky’amazzi, omusaayi, n’omwoyo gwa Yesu naye ajja kuwangula ensi. Yesu yawangula atya ensi? Okuyita mu kununulibwa kw’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
Mu Baibuli, “amazzi” kitegeeza “okubatiza kwa Yesu” (1 Peetero 3:21). Yesu yajja mu nsi muno mu mubiri. Yajja okulokola aboonoonyi b’ensi; Yabatizibwa okuggyawo ebibi by’aboonoonyi b’ensi bonna era yafiira ku Musalaba okutangirira ebibi ebyo.
Omusaayi ku Musaalaba gutegeeza nti yajja mu nsi muno mu mubiri ng’omuntu. Yajja mu ngeri y’omubiri gw’omuntu okulokola aboonoonyi era n’abatizibwa n’amazzi. N’olwekyo, Yesu yajja gye tuli mu mazzi n’omusaayi. Mu ngeri endala, yaggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna n’amazzi g’okubatiza kwe n’omusaayi gw’okufa kwe.
Sitaani yafuga atya ensi? Setaani yaleetera abantu okubuusabuusa ekigambo kya God era n’asiga ensigo z’obujeemu mu mitima gyabwe. Mu bigambo ebirala, Setaani yafuula abantu abaddu be nga abalimbalimba okujeemera ekigambo kya God.
Kyokka Yesu yajja munsi muno n’asangulawo ebibi by’abantu byonna n’amazzi g’okubatiza kwe n’omusaayi gwe ku Musaalaba: Yawangula Sitaani n’asangulawo ebibi by’ensi byonna.
Kino kyaliwo kubanga Yesu Kristo yali Mulokozi w’aboonoonyi. Yafuuka Omulokozi waffe kubanga yajja mu mazzi n’omusaayi.
Yesu Yaggyawo Ebibi By’Ensi Yonna n’Okubatiza kwe okw’Obununuzi.
| Kitegeeza ki nga Yesu awangula ensi? |
| Kitegeeza nti yaggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna. |
Okuva Yesu bwe yabatizibwa okuggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna n’afa okubitangirira, yasobola okutununula okuva mu bibi byonna. Olw’okuba Yesu yabatizibwa mu mugga Yoludaani Yokaana omubatiza, omukiise w’abantu bonna, ebibi byonna eby’ensi byamuyisibwa. Era yawaayo obulamu bwe ku Musaalaba olw’empeera y’ekibi. Olw’okuba yafa n’azuukira mu bafu, yawangula amaanyi ga sitaani. Yasasula empeera y’ekibi n’okufa kwe.
Yesu Yajja eri aboonoonyi olw’amazzi g’okubatiza n’omusaayi ku musaalaba
Omutume Yokaana yagamba nti okununulibwa si kwa mazzi gokka, wabula kwa mazzi na musaayi. N’olwekyo, nga Yesu bwe yalina okuyisa ebibi byonna n’okuggyawo ebibi byaffe emirembe gyonna, aboonoonyi bonna bandiwonye okuva mu kibi nga bamukkiririzaamu, n’okubeera abeesigwa eri Ebigambo bye.
| Yawangula atya amaanyi ga Sitaani? |
| Okuyita mu kubatiza kwe, Omusaayi n’Omwoyo |
Yesu bwe yakka mu nsi, yaggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna. Yaggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna n’okubatiza kwe mu Yoludaani n’asasula empeera y’ebibi ebyo ku Musaalaba; Yasasula ebibi byaffe n’okufa kwe. Era obunnabbi bw’etteeka lya God ery’obwenkanya obwagamba nti “empeera y’ekibi kwe kufa” (Abaruumi 6:23) bwatuukirizibwa.
Yesu yali ategeeza ki okuwangula ensi? Okukkiriza okuwangula ensi kwe kukkiriza enjiri y’obulokozi, Yesu kwe yatuwa n’amazzi n’omusaayi. Yajja mu ngeri y’omubiri era n’awa obujulizi ku bulokozi n’okubatiza kwe okw’amazzi n’okufa kwe ku Musaalaba.
Yesu yawangula ensi, kwe kugamba Sitaani. Abayigirizwa b’ekkanisa eyasooka baayimirira banywevu ne mu maaso g’okuttibwa nga tebagondera bwakabaka bwa Rooma oba okukemebwa kwonna okw’ensi eno.
Bino byonna byava ku kukkiriza kwabwe nti Yesu yajja mu mazzi (yabatizibwa okuggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna) era n’omusaayi gwe ku musaalaba (yasasula empeera y’ebibi byaffe byonna olw’okufa kwe).
Yesu yajja mu Mwoyo (Yajja mu mubiri gw’omuntu), era yaggyawo ebibi by’aboonoonyi n’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe ku musaalaba alyoke ffenna abalina okulokokebwa tusobole okuwangula ensi.
Era kaakati ago gaabalokola mmwe mu kifaananyi ery’amazima, kwe kubatizibwa, olw’okuzuukira kwa Yesu Kristo <1 Peetero 3:21>
| Kiki ekifaananyi eky’obulokozi? |
| Okubatiza kwa Yesu |
Kigambibwa mu 1 Peetero 3:21 nti, “Era kaakano ge gaabalokola mmwe mu kifaananyi eky’amazima, kwe kubatizibwa, si kuggyawo mpitambi za mubiri, wabula okuddamu okw’omwoyo omulungi eri Katonda, olw’okuzuukira kwa Yesu Kristo.” Omutume Peetero yawa obujulizi nti Yesu ye Mulokozi era nti yajja mu mazzi n’omusaayi ogw’okubatiza.
N’ekyavaamu, tusaanidde okukkiriza mu Yesu eyajja mu mazzi n’omusaayi. Era tusaana okumanya nti amazzi g’okubatiza kwa Yesu ge ga antitype agatuwonya. Omutume Peetero yatugamba nti “amazzi” ag’okubatiza, “omusaayi”, ne “Omwoyo Omutukuvu” “ensonga ezituukiridde” mu bununuzi.
Tewali n’omu ku bayigirizwa eyakkiriza omusaayi ogw’oku musaalaba awatali kubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Okukkiriza mu musaayi gwokka kwe kuba n’ekitundu kyokka eky’okukkiriza okwa nnamaddala. Okukkiriza okw’ekitundu oba okutali kujjuvu kuggwaawo ng’obudde bugenda buyitawo. Naye okukkiriza kw’abo abakkiriza mu njiri y’amazzi, omusaayi, n’ Omwoyo Omutukuvu kujja kweyongera amaanyi ng’obudde bugenda buyitawo.
Kyokka eddoboozi ly’enjiri y’omusaayi lyeyongera amaanyi mu nsi ennaku zino. Lwaki kino kiri bwe kityo? Abantu tebamanyi kigambo kya mazima, okununulibwa kw’amazzi n’ Omwoyo Omutukuvu, kale tebasobola kuzaalibwa nate.
Waliwo ekiseera, amakanisa g’amawanga g’obugwanjuba gaali gagudde mu nzikiriza enkyamu. Baali balabika nga bakulaakulana okumala akaseera, naye abaweereza ba Sitaani baayamba okufuula okukkiriza okufuuka enzikiriza enkyamu.
Enzikiriza enkyamu kwe kukkiriza nti sitaani ajja kudduka singa omuntu asika omusaalaba ku lupapula oba ku muti, era nti Sitaani ajja kugobwa singa omuntu akkiririza mu musaayi gwa Yesu. Okuyita mu nzikiriza zino n’enzikiriza endala ez’obulimba, Sitaani yalimbalimba abantu ne bakkiriza nti balina kukkiriza musaayi gwa Yesu gwokka. Sitaani yeeraga ng’atya omusaayi, ng’agamba nti Yesu yafuka omusaayi ku lwa aboona.
Kyokka Peetero n’abayigirizwa abalala bonna baawa obujulizi ku njiri entuufu ey’okubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi ku Musaalaba. Kyokka, kiki Abakristaayo ennaku zino kye bawa obujulizi? Bawa obujulizi ku musaayi gwa Yesu gwokka.
Naye, tusaanidde okukkiriza mu bigambo ebiwandiikiddwa mu Baibuli era tulina okukkiriza mu bulokozi bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, obw’okubatiza kwa Yesu, n’ogw’omusaayi. Bwetubuusa amaaso Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu netuwa obujulizi bwokka nti Yesu yatufiirira ku Musalaba, obulokozi tebuyinza kuba bujjuvu.
“Ekigambo ky’Obujulirwa” olw’Obulokozi bwa God
| Obukakafu obulaga nti God yatulokola? |
| Amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu |
Mu 1 Yokaana 5:8, Mukama agamba nti, “Kubanga abategeeza basatu”. Esooka ye Mwoyo, eyookubiri ye mazzi g’okubatiza kwa Yesu, ate eyookusatu ye musaayi ku Musaalaba. Ebintu bino ebisatu kimu. Yesu yajja mu nsi muno okutulokola ffenna okuva mu bibi ebyo. Kino ye yekka yakikola ne byonna ebisatu, Okubatiza, Omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
“Kubanga abategeeza basatu.” Waliwo ebintu bisatu ebikakasa nti God yatuwonya. Ebintu bino ebisatu eby’obukakafu ge mazzi g’okubatiza kwa Yesu, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ebintu bisatu bino byebyo Yesu byeyakola ku lwafe mu nsi eno.
Singa ekimu ku bintu bino ebisatu kyalekebwawo, obulokozi tebwandibadde bujjuvu. Waliwo bisatu ebiwa obujulirwa: Omwoyo Omutukuvu, amazzi, n’omusaayi.
Yesu Kristo eyajja gye tuli mu mubiri ye God, Omwoyo, n’Omwana. Yye Mwoyo era yajja mu nsi eno ng’ayambadde omubiri gw’omuntu n’abatizibwa mu mazzi okuggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna. Era n’atwala ebibi byonna mu mubiri gwe n’alokola ffe aboonoonyi ng’avaamu omusaayi okutuuka ku kufa ku Musaalaba. Yasasula ebibi byonna mu bujjuvu. Eno y’enjiri ey’okununulibwa okujjuvu olw’amazzi, omusaayi n’Omwoyo.
Ne bwe kiba nti ekimu kyokka ku bino kyalekebwawo, kyandibadde kugaana bulokozi bwa God obutuwonyezza okuva mu bibi byonna. Kyokka leero, abakkiriza abasinga obungi bawa obujulizi era bakkiririza mu Njiri y’omusaayi n’Omwoyo yokka.
Naye Omutume Yokaana yagamba nti waliwo ebintu bisatu ebyawa obujulizi: amazzi g’okubatiza kwa Yesu, omusaayi ku Musaalaba, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Omutume Yokaana yali mulambulukufu nnyo mu bujulizi bwe.
Okukkiriza okununula omwonoonyi kwe kukkiriza mu Mwoyo, mu mazzi, n’omusaayi. Okukkiriza okusobozesa omuntu okuwangula ensi kuli ludda wa? Kiri wano wennyini. Kwe kukkiriza Yesu eyajja mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kino mukkirize ofune obulokozi n’obulamu obutaggwaawo.
| Obulokozi bwa God butuukiridde awatali Kubatizibwa kwa Yesu? |
| Nedda |
Edda ennyo, nga sinnazaalibwa nate, nange, nnali Mukristaayo eyali nkkiririza mu musaayi gwokka ogwali ku Musaalaba ne mu Mwoyo. Nakkiriza nti yakka ng’Omwoyo n’anfiirira ku Musalaba n’anlokola okuva mu bibi byonna. Nnakkiririza mu bintu bino bibiri byokka era nnalina amalala mangi nnyo nga njagala okubibuulira abantu bonna.
Nnali ntegese okusoma eby’eddiini okufuuka omuminsani nsobole okukolera abantu n’okufiirira abantu nga Yesu bwe yali akoze. Nnali ntegese ebintu ebinene ebya buli ngeri.
Naye, kasita nnali nkkiririza mu bintu bibiri byokka, bulijjo waaliwo ekibi ekyasigala mu mutima gwange. N’ekyavaamu, nnali sisobola kuwangula nsi. Nnali sisobola kuba nga sirina kibi. Bwe nnali nkkiririza mu musaayi n’Omwoyo byokka, nnali nkyalina ekibi mu mutima gwange.
Ensonga lwaki nnali nkyalina ekibi mu mutima gwange newankubadde nga nkkiririza mu Yesu yali nti nali simanyi ku mazzi, Okubatiza kwa Yesu. Okununulibwa kwange tekwali kujjuvu okutuusa lwe nnanunulibwa olw’okukkiriza mu mazzi ag’okubatiza, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo.
Ensonga lwaki nali sisobola kuwangula bibi by’omubiri kwe kuba nti nali simanyi makulu ga kubatiza kwa Yesu. Ne kati abantu bangi bakkiririza mu Yesu naye nga bakyakola ebibi eby’omubiri. Bakyalina ekibi mu mitima gyabwe era bagezaako buli kimu okuzuukiza okwagala okwasooka kwe baalina eri Yesu.
Tebasobola kuzuukiza bbugumu ly’obunyiikivu bwabwe obwasooka kubanga tebanaazibwangako ddala okuva mu bibi byabwe n’amazzi. Olw’okuba tebakimanyi nti ebibi byabwe byonna byayisibwa eri Yesu bwe yabatizibwa, tebasobola kuddamu kuddamu kukkiriza kwabwe oluvannyuma lw’okugwa.
Kino njagala okukitegeeza bulungi mwenna. Tusobola okubeera mu kukkiriza ne tuwangula ensi nga tukkiririza mu Yesu. Ka tubeere nga tetumala, ne bwe tuba twonoona mu nsi muno, kasita tukkiriza Yesu ng’Omulokozi waffe eyatufuula abasumuludde ddala ekibi n’okubatiza kwe, tusobola okuyimirira nga tuwangudde.
Kyokka bwe tukkiriza mu Yesu nga tetulina mazzi ga kubatiza, tetusobola kununulibwa mu bujjuvu. Omutume Yokaana yatugamba nti okukkiriza okuwangula ensi kwe kukkiriza mu Yesu Kristo eyajja mu mazzi ag’okubatiza, omusaayi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
God yatuma Omwana we omu yekka gye tuli okununula abo abakkiriza mu Okubatiza n’omusaayi gwe. Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna n’okubatiza kwe. Yesu, Omwana wa God omu yekka, yajja gye tuli mu Mwoyo (mu mubiri gw’omuntu). Era yavaamu omusaayi ku Musaalaba okusasula empeera y’ekibi. Bwatyo Yesu n’anunula abantu bonna okuva mu kibi.
Okukkiriza okutukulembera okuwangula ensi kuva mu kukkiriza mu mazima nti Yesu yajja gye tuli mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu n’atusumulula ddala okuva mu bibi byonna.
Singa tewaaliwo mazzi ga kubatiza na musaayi ku Musalaba, tewandibaddewo bulokozi bwa mazima. Awatali omu oba omulala, tetwandisobodde kufuna bulokozi bwa nnamaddala. Obulokozi obw’amazima tebusobola kutuukirizibwa awatali mazzi na musaayi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. N’olwekyo, tulina okukkiriza mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kino kimanye ojja kuba n’okukkiriza okwa nnamaddala.
Nkugamba Si Bulokozi bwa Mazima Nga Tebulina Bujulizi bwa Mazzi, Musaayi na Mwoyo
| Biki ebikulu ebisatu ebiwa obujulizi ku bulokozi? |
| Amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu |
Omuntu ayinza okulowooza ku kibuuzo ekyo waggulu bw’ati: “Yesu ye Mulokozi wange. Nzikiriza mu musaayi ogwayiika ku musaalaba era njagala okufa nga omujulirwa. Nzikiriza mu Yesu newankubadde ndi n’ekibi mu mutima gwange. Neenenyezza nnyo era nkoze ennyo okulaga empisa ennungi, ez’obwenkanya n’ez’okuyamba abalala buli lunaku. Mpaddeyo obulamu bwange n’ebintu byange byonna ku lulwo. Sifumbizangako wadde. God ayinza atya obutemmanya? Yesu yanfiirira ku musaalaba. God waffe Omutukuvu yakka ng’omuntu n’atufiirira ku musaalaba. Nakukkiriza, nakuwaayo ssaddaaka, era nakukoleranga n’obwesigwa. Newankubadde nga nnyinza obutasaanira era nga nkyalina ekibi mu mutima gwange, Yesu ajja kuntwala mu ggeyeena olw’ekyo? Nedda, tajja kukikola.”
Abantu nga bano bangi nnyo. Bano bebatakkiriza nti Yesu yabatizibwa okuggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna. Abantu bano abakkiriza mu Yesu bwe bakyalina ekibi, bagenda wa? Bagenda mu geyena. Bayonoonyi!
Bo, abalowooza nga bwe baagala era nga balowooza nti God alina okulowooza bw’atyo, bajja kugenda mu geyena. Ekirala, abamu bagamba nti olw’okuba Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byonna bwe yafiira ku Musaalaba, tewali kibi mu nsi. Kyokka kino kyogera ku musaayi n’Omwoyo gwokka. Kuno si kwe kukkiriza okutuusa abantu mu kununulibwa okujjuvu.
Tulina okukkiriza nti Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byaffe n’okubatiza kwe, n’asalirwa omusango, n’atufiirira ku Musaalaba, era nti yazuukizibwa oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu ng’amaze okufa.
Awatali kukkiriza ng’okwo, okununulibwa okujjuvu tekyandisobose. Yesu Kristo yabatizibwa, n’afiira ku Musalaba, n’azuukira. Yesu Kristo yajja gye tuli mu mazzi, n’omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Yaggyawo ebibi byonna eby’ensi.
Waliwo ebintu bisatu ebikulu ebiwa obujulizi: Omwoyo Omutukuvu, amazzi, n’omusaayi.
Ekisooka, Omwoyo Omutukuvu Omutukuvu ategeeza nti Yesu ye God era nti yakka mu mubiri gw’omuntu.
EEkintu ekyokubiri bwe bujulizi bwa “amazzi”. Amazzi kwe kubatiza kwa Yesu mu mugga Yoludaani okwakolebwa Yokaana omubatiza, ebibi byaffe mwe byayisibwa eri Yesu. Ebibi byaffe byonna byayisibwa eri Yesu bwe yabatizibwa (Matayo 3:15).
Obujulizi obwokusatu bwe “musaayi” obulaga obulamu obupya era nga Yesu yakkiriza okusalirwa omusango mu kifo kyaffe olw’ebibi byaffe. Yesu yatufiirira n’akkiriza omusango gwa Kitaawe ku lwaffe era n’azuukira oluvannyuma lw’ennaku 3.
God Kitaffe asindika Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu mitima gy’abo abakkiriza mu kubatiza n’omusaayi gw’omwana we okujulira obununuzi bwaffe.
Abo abazaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri balina Ekigambo kye bawangula nakyo ensi. Abanunuddwa bajja kuwangula Sitaani, obulimba bwa bannabbi ab’obulimba, n’ebiziyiza oba ebizibu ebibalumba obutasalako. Ensonga lwaki tulina amaanyi gano eri nti tulina ebintu bisatu mu mitima gyaffe: amazzi ga Yesu, omusaayi gwe, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
| Tuwangula tutya ensi ne Sitaani? |
| Nga tukkiririza mu bujulizi obusatu |
Tuwangula Sitaani n’ensi kubanga tukkiririza mu Mwoyo, amazzi, n’omusaayi. Abo abakkiriza mu kubatiza n’omusaayi gwa Yesu basobola okuwangula bannabbi ab’obulimba ab’engeri zonna. Okukkiriza kwaffe, n’amaanyi gano ag’okuwangula, kuli mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kino okikkiriza?
Tosobola kuzaalibwa nate wadde okuwangula ensi singa oba tolina kukkiriza mu kununulibwa okuyita mu kubatiza kwa Yesu, omusaayi gwe, n’okukkiriza nti Yesu Mwana wa God era Omulokozi waffe. Kino kiri mu mutima gwo?
Olina Omwoyo Omutukuvu n’amazzi mu mutima gwo? Okkiririza nti ebibi byo byonna byayisibwa eri Yesu? Olina omusaayi gw’Omusaalaba mu mutima gwo?
Ojja kuwangula ensi singa olina okukkiriza mu mazzi g’okubatiza kwa Yesu mu mutima gwo, era bw’okkiriza nti Yesu yakufiirira ku musaalaba era n’atwala omusango mu kifo kyo.
Omutume Yokaana yawangula ensi kubanga yalina ebintu bino byonna ebisatu ebikulu mu mutima gwe. Era yayogera ku kununulibwa eri baganda be bonna mu kukkiriza abaali bagumira ebizibu n’okutiisibwatiisibwa mu mulimu gwabwe. Yawa obujulizi nti: Yawa obujulizi nti, “Naawe bw’otyo bw’oyinza okuwangula ensi. Yesu yajja olw’Omwoyo, n’amazzi n’omusaayi. Nga bwe yawangula ensi, abo abakkiriza mu Mwoyo, amazzi, n’omusaayi nabo bajja kuwangula ensi. Eno y’engeri yokka abeesigwa gye bayinza okuwangula ensi.”
Mu 1 Yokaana 5:8, kigambibwa nti, “Kubanga abategeeza basatu, Omwoyo n’amazzi n’omusaayi; era abasatu abo bagendera wamu.” Bangi bakyogera ku musaayi n’Omwoyo, naye baleka amazzi g’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Bwe bagyawo “amazzi”, bakyalimbibwa Sitaani. Balina okuva emabega w’okwelimba kwabwe ne beenenya; Balina okukkiriza “amazzi” g’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu, ag’okuzaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri.
Tewali ayinza kuwangula nsi nga takkirizza mazzi na musaayi. Nkugamba nate nti tewali muntu yenna! Tulina okulwana nga tukozesa amazzi n’omusaayi gwa Yesu ng’ebyokulwanyisa byaffe. Ekigambo kye kitala ky’Omwoyo, Omusana.
Bakyali bangi nnyo abatakkiririza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu okwanaaza ebibi byabwe byonna. Wakyaliwo bangi nnyo abakkiriza mu bintu bibiri byokka. Yesu bw’abagamba nti “Golokoka, yaka”, tebasobola kwaka. Bakyalina ekibi mu mitima gyabwe. Wadde bakkiriza Yesu bakomekkereza mu ggeyeena.
Enjiri y’Okubatizibwa n’Omusaayi gwa Yesu Erina Okubuulirwa Ddala Abantu Basobole Okuwulira, Okukkiriza, n’Okulokolebwa
| Okukkiriza mu Kubatizibwa kwe kika kya njigiriza yokka? |
| Nedda, si njigiriza. Gwe mazima. |
Bwe tuwa obujulirwa ku njiri, erina okuba nga yeetongodde. Yesu yajja olw’Omwoyo, mu kubatiza (eyaggyawo ebibi byaffe), n’omusaayi (ogwasasula ebibi byaffe). Tulina okukkiriza bino byonna ebisatu.
Bwe kitaba bwe kityo, tetubuulira njiri wabula tubuulira eddiini ennyangu. Abakristaayo b’ensi eno obukristaayo babuyita ddiini. Obukristaayo tebusobola kunnyonnyolwa ng’eddiini. Kwe kukkiriza okw’okununulibwa okuzimbibwa ku mazima, okukkiriza okutunula waggulu eri God. Si ddiini.
Eddiini kintu ekyatondebwa omuntu, so ng’ate okukkiriza kutunuulira obulokozi God bwe yatuwa. Eyo y’enjawulo. Bw’ogaana amazima gano, ofuula Obukristaayo okuba eddiini endala bussi n’okubuulira ng’okozesa empisa n’obulombolombo.
Yesu Kristo teyajja kuteekawo ddiini mu nsi muno. Teyatongoza ddiini yonna eyitibwa Obukristaayo. Lwaki okkiriza nti ddiini? Bwe kiba nti byonna bye bimu, lwaki tokkiririza mu Buddha mu kifo ky’ekyo? Olowooza nti nkyamu okwogera bino?
Abantu abamu bakkiririza mu Yesu ng’eddiini ne bamaliriza nga bagamba nti, “Njawulo ki? Eggulu, Nirvana, ejjana... Byonna kintu kimu, birina amannya ga njawulo gokka. Ffenna tujja kumaliriza mu kifo kimu mu ngeri yonna.”
Bakristaayo bannaffe, tusaanidde okwolekagana n’amazima. Era tusaanidde “Golokoka, yaka”. Tusaanidde okusobola okwogera amazima awatali kulonzalonza.
Omuntu bw’agamba nti, “Eyo teyinza kuba ngeri yokka,” olina okugamba mu ddoboozi erikakafu nti, “Nedda! Ye kkubo lyokka: Osobola okugenda mu ggulu nga okkiriza bussi Yesu Kristo eyajja n’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.” Osaana okwaka ennyo emyoyo emirala gisobole okuwulira ekigambo ky’obununuzi, ne gizaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri, ne gigenda mu ggulu.
Mubeere n’Okukkiriza Okutuufu: Abaagalana ba Yesu abataddibwamu Abatamanyi Bununuzi bwa Kubatizibwa kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe Bijja kuzikirizibwa
| Ani alizikirizibwa newankubadde nga akkiririza mu Yesu? |
| Abo abatakkiririza mu Kubatizibwa kwa Yesu |
Okwogera kwokka nti tukkiririza mu Yesu mu ngeri ey’okwesalirawo kwe kwagala Yesu okutaddibwako era kiringa okutwala amazima ng’eddiini bukadde.
Emmeeri eyali esala Pacific yagwa wansi era abatonotono abasimattuse ne basigala nga bakulukuta ku bbaati erya kapiira. Baasindika emmeeri ya SOS, kyokka ennyanja eyali efuuse embi yalemesa emmeeri endala okujja okubayamba. Awo nnamunkanga n’ejja mu kifo ky’ekyo n’esuula omuguwa wansi.
Singa omu ku bo yeekwata ku muguwa n’emikono gye mu kifo ky’okugusiba ku mubiri gwe, yandibadde ng’omusajja agwa mu kwagala Yesu awatali kuddibwamu, ng’akkiririza mu God nga bw’ayagala. Tannaba kuba mutebenkevu, naye agamba nti, “Nzikiriza. Ndokola. Nzikiriza, kale ndowooza ndilokolebwa.”
Oyo atategeera mazima g’okubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe akkiririza nti ajja kulokolebwa olw’okuba yeekutte ku muguwa.
Naye nga bw’asimbulwa waggulu, emikono gye gijja kuggwaamu enkwata ku muguwa. Ajja kuba akutte n’amaanyi ge gokka. Amaanyi gano bwe gaggwaawo, gajja kufiirwa enkwata yaago era eddemu okugwa mu nnyanja.
Kino bwe kiri okubeera mu kwagala okutaddibwamu ne Yesu. Bangi bayinza okugamba nti bakkiririza mu God ne Yesu; nti bakkiririza mu Yesu eyajja mu Mwoyo, naye ekyo kitundu kyokka ku nsengekera yonna. Tebasobola na kukkiriza wadde okubeera mu njiri etuukiridde, kale beewaliririza okwogera emirundi n’emirundi nti bakkiriza.
Okukkiriza n’okugezaako okukkiriza si kintu kimu. Bagamba nti bajja kugoberera Yesu okutuuka ku nkomerero naye bajja kusuulibwa ku lunaku olw’enkomerero olw’ekibi ekisigadde mu mitima gyabwe. Baagala Yesu nga tebamanyi nti Yesu yajja olw’okubatiza kwe, omusaayi gwe, n’ Omwoyo Omutukuvu gwe. Bwe baba nga baagala Yesu olw’omusaayi gwe gwokka, bajja kugenda mu geyena.
Siba emmeeme yo mu mazzi ag’Okubatiza, n’ekigambo ky’omusaayi ku Musaalaba. Yesu bw’anasuula omuguwa gw’obulokozi, abo abeesiba n’amazzi, omusaayi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu bajja kulokolebwa.
Omudduukirize okuva mu nnamunkanga yaleekaana ng’ayita mu mizindaalo nti, “Nsaba onwuliriza bulungi. Bwe nsuula omuguwa wansi, gusibe mu kifuba wansi w’emikono gyo. Olwo omale sigala nga bw’oli. Towanika ku muguwa n’emikono gyo. Kisibe mu kifuba kyokka owummuleko. Olwo ojja kulokolebwa.”
Oluvannyuma lw’okuwa ebiragiro bino, omusajja yekka eyagoberera ebiragiro ne yeesiba n’omuguwa yawona. Naye omusajja omulala n’agamba nti, “Teweeraliikiriranga. Nze ndi wa maanyi nnyo. Mbadde nkola dduyiro mu kiraabu y’ebyobulamu. Osobola okulaba ebinywa byange? Nsobola okuwanirira okumala mayiro.” Oluvannyuma yakwata omuguwa n’emikono gye ng’omuguwa gusimbulwa waggulu.
Abasajja bombi baali basimbuddwa waggulu mu ntandikwa. Naye waliwo enjawulo. Oyo eyawulirizanga ebiragiro n’asiba omuguwa ne bamusika waggulu nga tewali kikutte. Yatuuka n’okuzirika mu kkubo kyokka wadde kyali kityo ne bamusimbula.
Oyo eyali yenyumiriza mu maanyi ge yatuuka n’okubulwa enkwata kubanga amaanyi ge gaggwaawo. Era yafa kubanga yagaana okuwuliriza era n’atafaayo ku biragiro ebyo.
Okusobola okufuna obununuzi obujjuvu, omuntu alina okukkiriza mu kununulibwa kw’amazzi g’okubatiza kwe n’omusaayi ogwalokola emyoyo gyonna okuva mu kibi. Obulokozi buliwo eri abo abakkiriza Ekigambo n’omutima gwange gwonna: “Nkulokola ddala olw’okubatiza kwange Yokaana Omubatiza n’omusaayi gwange ku Musaalaba.”
Abo abakkiriza omusaayi gwokka bagamba nti, “Temweraliikirira, nze nkkiririza. Nja kwebaza okutuuka ku nkomerero y’obulamu bwange olw’omusaayi gwa Yesu. Nja kugoberera Yesu okutuuka ku nkomerero era okukkiriza kwange mu musaayi gwokka kujja kuba kusukka okumala okuwangula ensi n’ekibi kyonna obulamu bwange bwonna.”
Kyokka kino tekimala. Abo God b’ajulira ng’abantu be be bakkiriza mu bintu byonna ebisatu: nti Yesu yajja mu Mwoyo n’abatizibwa (Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byonna n’okubatizibwa kwe mu Yoludaani), nti yafiira ku Musaalaba okusasula empeera olw’ebibi byonna, era nti yazuukira mu bafu.
Omwoyo Omutukuvu ajja eri abo bokka abakkiriza mu byonna ebisatu era abajulirwa ku lwabwe. “Yee, nze Mulokozi wo. Nakuwonya n’amazzi n’omusaayi. Nze God wo.”
Naye abo abatakkiriza byonna ebisatu, God tawa bulokozi. Ne bwe kiba nti omu yekka alekeddwaawo, God agamba nti, “Nedda, tolokoka.” Abayigirizwa be bonna baakkiriza ebintu ebisatu byonna. Yesu agamba nti Okubatizibwa kwe bwe obujulizi bw’obulokozi, era nti omusaayi gwe gwe musango.
Omutume Pawulo ne Peetero Nabo Baawa Obujulizi ku Batiza ne Musaayi gwa Yesu
| Kiki abayigirizwa ba Yesu kye baawa obujulirwa? |
| Okubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe |
Omutume Pawulo yayogera ku kubatiza kwa Yesu? Ka tulabe emirundi emeka gye yayogera ku kubatiza kwa Yesu. Yagamba mu Abaruumi 6:3 nti, “Oba temumanyi nga ffe fenna, abaabatizibwa okuyingira mu Kristo Yesu nga twabatizibwa kuyingira mu kufa kwe?” Era mu 6:5, “Kuba obanga twagattibwa wamu naye mu kifaananyi ky’okufa kwe, era tuligattibwa ne mu kifaananyi ky’okuzuukira kwe.”
Era yagamba mu Abaggalatiya 3:27 nti, “Kubanga mwenna abaabatizibwa okuyingira mu Kristo, mwayambala Kristo.” Abatume ba Yesu baawa obujulizi ku “mazzi,” okubatizibwa kwa Yesu. “Era kaakano ge gaabalokola mmwe mu kifaananyi eky’amazima, kwe kubatizibwa.” (1 Peetero 3:21)
Obulokozi bw’okununulibwa kwa Mukama bwajja lwa mazzi n’omusaayi gwa Yesu
| God ayita ani omutuukirivu? |
| Abo abatalina kibi kyonna mu mitima gyabwe |
Obununuzi Yesu bwe yawa omuntu bwa mazzi g’okubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe ku Musaalaba. Olw’okununulibwa okwo tusaanidde okusituka ne twaka. Tya? Nga tuwa obujulirwa ku bintu bino ebisatu.
“Golokoka, yaka; kubanga omusana gwo gutuuse, n’ekitiibwa kya Yakuwa kikuviiriddeyo.” (Isaaya 60:1) God atukoledde ekitangaala era atugamba naffe okwaka. Tusaanidde okugondera ekiragiro ekyo.
Tulina okubuulira enjiri n’amaanyi gonna. Kyokka, abantu bangi nnyo tebawuliriza. Kkiriza Yesu ojja kununulibwa. Ojja kuba mutuukirivu. Bwe kiba nti mu mutima gwo mukyaliwo ekibi, oba tonnaba mutuukirivu. Tonnawangula bibi by’ensi.
Toyinza kuggyawo kibi ekiri mu mutima gwo singa tokkiririza mu mazzi ga Yesu (Okubatiza kwa Yesu). Toyinza kwewala kusalirwa musango singa tokkiririza mu musaayi gwa Yesu. Toyinza ennaku zonna kulokolebwa singa tokkiririza mu Yesu Kristo eyajja ku Mwoyo. Toyinza ennaku zonna kubeera mutuukirivu okuggyako ng’okkirizza mu bujulizi obusatu.
Obutuukirivu obutamala butuuka ku “butuukirivu obuyitibwa bwetyo”. Omuntu yenna bw’agamba nti akyalina ekibi naye nga yeerowooza nga mutuukirivu, tannaba kuba mu Yesu. Abantu abamu ennaku zino bagezaako okuwanirira obununuzi ku “kiyitibwa obutuukirivu”. Bawandiise ttani z’emitwe egitalina mugaso ku nsonga eno.
God alangirira omuntu obutalina kibi nga alina ekibi mu mutima gwe? Ekyo takikola. Akiyita nga bw’akiraba. Muyinza w’ebintu byonna naye tayinza kulimba. Abantu tebategeera makulu matuufu ag’obutuukirivu. Ekintu tukiyita “ekiyonjo” nga kiyonjo. Tetugamba nti “ekiyonjo” nga tulina ekibi.
Oyinza okulowooza nti Yesu akuyita omutuukirivu newankubadde nga olina ekibi mu mutima gwo. Ekyo si kituufu.
Yesu atulangirira obutuukirivu bwe tukkiriza Yesu nga Oyo eyajja mu Mwoyo, Oyo eyajja mu mazzi (yakwata ebibi byaffe byonna bwe yabatizibwa), era Oyo eyajja mu musaayi (yajja mu mubiri n’atufiirira).
Abakristaayo abaagalwa, “ekiyitibwa obutuukirivu” tekirina kakwate na njiri ya mazzi na musaayi. Okuyitibwa “Ekiyitibwa bwetyo”, oba “okuyitibwa omutuukirivu” nzikkiriza y’eddiini eva mu bantu. God akuyita mutuukirivu nga olina ekibi mu mutima gwo? God tayita muntu mutuukirivu ng’alina ekibi mu mutima gwe, wadde ng’akkiririza nnyo mu Yesu. Yesu tayinza kulimba n’akatono.
Naye, okyalowooza nti ayita omuntu omutuukirivu nga alina ekibi mu mutima gwe? Ekyo abantu kye balowooza, so si God. God akyawa obulimba. Yandikuyise omutuukirivu singa okkiririza mu “Omwoyo” ne “omusaayi” gwokka? Obutasoboka.
Waliwo ekika ky’omuntu kimu kyokka God ky’ategeera nti mutuukirivu. Ye muntu atalina kibi kyonna mu mutima gwe. Ategeera abo bokka abakkiriza mu bintu byonna ebisatu: nti Yesu, ye God, yakka mu nsi mu mubiri, nti yabatizibwa mu mugga Yoludaani, era nti yafulumya omusaayi ku Musaalaba okuggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna.
Abo bokka abakkiriza amawulire amalungi ag’obulokozi be bategeerwako God. Bebo abakkiriza mu butuufu. Bakkiririza ddala mu byonna bye yatukolera. Bakkiriza nti Yesu yajja n’abatizibwa okutwala ebibi byabwe byonna era nti yaweebwa omusango ku lwaffe ng’afa ku Musaalaba, era yazuukira mu bafu.
Ebintu bino byonna byakolebwa olw’okwagala kwa God. Yesu yakka okuva mu ggulu n’agamba nti, “Mujje gye ndi, mmwe mwenna abakooye era abazitoowereddwa nange nnaabawummuza.” (Matayo 11:28) Kino yakikola ng’aggyawo ebibi byaffe.
God tategeera abo abakkiriza mu musaayi gwa Yesu gwokka. Abo abakkiriza omusaayi gwa Yesu gwokka bakyalina ekibi mu mitima gyabwe.
Ani Yesu gw’amanyi ng’abanunuddwa? “Naggyawo ebibi byo byonna bwe nnakka mu nsi ne mbatizibwa Yokaana Omubatiza. Njulira nti ebibi byonna eby’ensi byaweebwa Nze. Nasasula ebibi ku Musaalaba. Mbalokoze bwentyo.” Okukkiriza okubatizibwa kwa Yesu, omusaayi gwe, n’ekimu nti Ye God. Byonna byetaagisa eri obulokozi.
Eri abo abakkiriza mu bintu ebisatu byonna, Yesu agamba nti, “Yee, mulokose. Muli batuukirivu era baana ba God.” Mulokoka bwe mukkiriza Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu, omusaayi gwe, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu byonna awamu. Abo abakkiriza mu musaayi n’Omwoyo gwokka bakyalina ekibi mu mitima gyabwe.
Mu bwakabaka bwa God, waliwo amazima gamu gokka. Waliwo obutuukirivu, obwesimbu, okwagala, n’ekisa. Tewali katonotono k’obulimba. Obulimba n’obukuusa tebiri mu ggulu.
| Ani “abakola eby’obujeemu”? |
| Oyo atakkiririza mu Kubatizibwa kwa Yesu |
“Bangi abaliŋŋmba ku lunaku luli nti Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, tetwalagulanga mu linnya lyo, tetwagobanga dayimooni mu linnya lyo, tetwakolanga bya magero bingi mu linnya lyo?” (Matayo 7:22)
God takiriza ennaku zonna bikolwa ebyo eby’omuntu. “Ne ndyoka mbaatulira nti Sibamanyangako mmwe: muve we ndi mwenna abakola eby’obujeemu.” (Matayo 7:23)
“Nnakuwaayo ennyumba bbiri. Nawaayo obulamu bwange ku lwa Ggwe. Tonkumanya? Sikwegaanangako okutuusa omukka gwange ogusembayo. Tonkumanya?”
“Kale olina ekibi mu mutima gwo?”
“Yee, Mukama. Nze nina katono.”
“Kale genda. Tewali mwonoonyi akkirizibwa kuyingira wano.”
“Naye nafa nga ndi mujulizi!”
“Otegeeza ki, “yafa omujulizi”? Wafa obukakanyavu bwo bwokka. Wakkiriza okubatizibwa kwange n’omusaayi? Waliwo lwe nnawa obujulizi nti muli bantu bange? Nawa obujulizi mu mutima gwo nti muli bantu bange? Temukkiririza mu kubatiza kwange era sifunangako bujulizi nti muli bantu bange, naye ne muwanika ku kukkiriza kwo ne mufiirira. Ddi lwe nnakuwa obujulizi? Ggwe weereese ku ggwe kennyini. Wayagala era n’ogezaako wekka olw’okununulibwa kwo. Otegedde? Kaakano, beera mu kkubo lyo.”
Yesu yatugamba tusituka twakaayakana. Abantu abanunuddwa bakankana mu maaso g’Abakristaayo ab’obulimba bangi ne bannabbi ab’obulimba bangi, ne balemererwa okwakaayakana ennyo! Naye omuliro omuto gusobola okutandika omuliro omunene. Omuntu bw’ayimirira n’obuvumu n’awa obujulizi, ensi yonna ejja kwakaayakana.
Mu Aisaaya 60:1-2, kyagamba nti, “Golokoka, yaka; kubanga omusana gwo gutuuse, n’ekitiibwa kya Yakuwa kikuviiriddeyo. Kubanga, laba, ekizikiza kiribikka ku nsi n’ekizikiza ekikutte kiribikka ku mawanga: naye Yakuwa alikuviirayo n’ekitiibwa kye kirirabikira ku ggwe.”
Kitulagira tusituka ne tuyaka kubanga ekizikiza eky’obutali mazima n’enjiri ey’obulimba kijja kubikka ensi. Abo bokka abakkiriza mu Yesu be basobola okumwagala. Abo abatanunulibwa tebayinza kwagala Yesu. Bayinza batya? Bano boogera ku kwagala kwokka naye tebasobola ennaku zonna okumwagala mu mazima okuggyako nga bakkirizza.
Waliwo Ebintu Bisatu Ebiwa Obujulizi ku Bulokozi bw’aboonoonyi
| Bujulizi ki obw’obulokozi obuli mu mutima gwaffe? |
| Okubatiza kwa Yesu |
“Kubanga abategeeza basatu, Omwoyo n’amazzi n’omusaayi; era abasatu abo bagendera wamu.” Yesu yajja ku nsi era n’akola emirimu gye n’amazzi n’omusaayi. Kino yakikola era n’atulokola.
“Bwe tukkiriza okutegeeza kw’abantu, okutegeeza kwa God kwe kusinga obukulu: kubanga okutegeeza kwa God kwe kuno nti ategeezezza eby`Omwana we. Akkiriza Omwana wa God alina okutegeeza mu ye; atakkiriza God ng’amufudde mulimba; kubanga takkiriza kutegeeza God kw’ategeezezza eby’Omwana we. Era okutegeeza kwe kuno nti God yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu obwo buli mu Mwana we. Alina Omwana alina obulamu; atalina Mwana wa God talina bulamu.” (1 Yokaana 5:9-12)
Abazaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri bafuna obujulizi bw’abantu. Tukkirizibwa nga abatuukirivu. Abazaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri nga be banunuliddwa bwe boogera amazima agakwata ku bununuzi, abantu tebasobola kukiwakanya. Bakikkiriza. Bagamba nti tukkiriza mu ngeri entuufu, nti tuli mu kukkiriza okutuufu. Bwe tubabuulira engeri gye twazaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri, tewali awakanya mazima gaakyo. Bagamba nti tuli batuufu. Tufuna obujulizi bw’abantu.
Naye ekiwandiiko kino kyagamba nti, “Obujulizi bwa God businga obukulu; kubanga kino kye kijulizi kya God.” Kyagamba nti obujulizi bwa God kwe kwa ku Mwana we. Okugolola? Kiki obujulizi bwa Mwana we? Obujulizi obw’okuba nti God yatulokola kwe kuno nti Yesu yajja n’Omwoyo, yajja n’amazzi g’okununulibwa, era yajja n’omusaayi ku Musaalaba. Era God ajulira nti kino kye kika kye yatulokola, era nti tuli abantu be kubanga tukkiriza mu kino.
“Akkiriza Omwana wa God alina okutegeeza mu ye; atakkiriza God ng’amufudde mulimba; kubanga takkiriza kutegeeza God kw’ategeezezza eby’Omwana we.”
Ekiwandiiko kino kitubuulira mu ngeri entegeerekeka nti ani abo abalokolebwa. Kyagamba nti oyo akikiriza mu Mwana wa God alina obujulizi mu ye. Olina obujulizi mu mutima gwo? Kuli mu ggwe era kuli mu nze. Yesu yajja ku nsi ku lwaffe. (Yajja mu mubiri ng’ayita mu mubiri gwa Maliyamu olw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.) Bwe yali emyaka 30, yabatizibwa okufuna ebibi byaffe byonna ku Ye. Era n’ebibi byaffe byonna, yasalirwa musango ku Musaalaba. Yazuukira oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu okutuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo. Yesu yatulokola bwe kityo.
Kiki ekyandibadde kiba kigenda okubaawo singa yali tazuukira? Yandibadde atya okunjulira mu ntaana? Kyava lwaki ye Munnunuzi wange. Kino kwe tukkiriza.
Era nga bwe yagamba, yatulokola n’okubatiza kwe n’omusaayi. Era kubanga tukkiriza, ggwe n’nze tulokolebwa. Obujulizi kuli mu nze era kuli mu ggwe. Abanunuddwa ennaku zonna tebasuula “mazzi” g’okubatiza kwe. Tetulekawo ennaku zonna ebintu by’akola okutulokola.
“Kubanga kitugwanira bwe tutyo okutuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna.” (Matayo 3:15) Tetugaana ennaku zonna nti Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna ku mugga Yoludaani bwe yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza. Abanunuddwa tebayinza ennaku zonna kugaana “amazzi”, okubatizibwa kwa Yesu.
Abo Abakkiriza naye Tebanunulibwa Beegaana okutuuka ku nkomerero Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu
| Ani akola God mulimba? |
| Oyo atakkiriza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu |
Omutume Yokaana yali mu ngeri entegeerekeka nnyo bwe yagamba nti, “Atakkiriza God ng’amufudde mulimba.” Singa Omutume Yokaana yali abeera wano ne kati, kiki kye yanditugambye abakristu? Yabuuza oba “Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna bwe yabatizibwa”.
Tewali Yokaana Okubatiza naye ajulira ku njiri nti Yesu yatununula n’okubatiza kwe? “Ebibi byammwe tebyayisibwa ku mutwe gwa Yesu era teyasitula bibi byammwe bwe yabatizibwa nze?” Yandibadde ajulira nti “Yesu yabatizibwa okukulokola”.
Abo abatali bakkiriza mu God, abatali bakkiriza mu byonna bye yakoze okutulokola, bakola God mulimba. Bwe tubuulira nti Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna bwe yabatizibwa, bagamba nti, “Oo, omwagalwa! Yali tasobola kuggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna! Yaggyawo ekibi eky’olubereberye kyokka, n’olwekyo ebibi byaffe byonna ebya buli lunaku bikyaliwo.”
Bakkaatiriza nti balina “okwenenya buli lunaku n’okwatula ebibi byonna eby’omu kiseera kino okusobola okununulibwa”. Kino kye bakkiririzaamu. Naawe mwenna bw’otyo mwogera? Abo abatakkiriza nti ebibi byaffe byanaazibwa olw’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu, bafuula God mulimba.
Yesu Yatununula Omulundi gumu bwe yabatizibwa n’avaamu omusaayi ku musaalaba
| Ani alimba? |
| Omuntu atakkiririza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu |
Yesu yabatizibwa era n’aggyawo ebibi byonna omulundi gumu. God alokola abo abakkiriza mu kubatiza n’omusaayi gwa Yesu, naye abatakkiriza n’abaleka. Bagenda mu geyena. N’olwekyo, oba tulokole oba nedda kisinziira ku kye tukkiririzaamu. Yesu yatununula okuva mu bibi byonna eby’ensi. Abo abakkiriza bajja kulokolebwa, n’abatakkiriza tebajja kulokolebwa kubanga God bagifudde mulimba.
Abantu tebagenda mu geyena olw’obunafu bwabwe, wabula kubanga tebakkiriza. “Atakkiriza God ng’amufudde mulimba.” (1 Yokaana 5:10) Abo abatakkiriza nti ebibi byabwe byonna byayisibwa ku Yesu bakyalina ekibi mu mitima gyabwe. Tebasobola kugamba nti tebalina kibi.
Lumu nasisinkana omudyankoni ne mmubuuza nti, “Mudiikoni, ebibi byange bijja kugenda bwe nnaakkiriza mu Yesu?”
“Mazima ddala bajja kukikola.”
“Awo, okuva Yesu lwe yatwala ebibi by’ensi byonna n’agamba nti biwedde, mulokoka. Ekyo si kituufu?”
“Yee, nlokose.”
“Awo oteekwa okuba nga tolina kibi.”
“Yee, nze ndi.”
“Kiki ekibaawo singa oddamu okwonoona?”
“Ffe tuli bantu bokka. Twali tuyinza tutya obutaddamu kwonoona? Kale tulina okwenenya n’okunaaba ebibi byaffe buli lunaku.”
Omudyankoni ono akyalina ekibi mu mutima gwe kubanga tamanyi mazima ga bununuzi mu bujjuvu.
Abalinga ye be bajerega God ne bamufuula omulimba. Yesu, nga ye God, yalemererwa okuggyawo ebibi byonna eby’ensi? Kinyiiza nnyo. Singa Yesu teyaggyawo bibi byonna, yandibadde atya God ow’Obulokozi? Yanditugambye atya okumukkiriza? Ogenda kumufuula mulimba? Nze nkuwa amagezi nti ekyo tokikola!
Baibuli etugamba nti tetumujerega. Kino kitegeeza tomufuula mulimba era togezaako kumulimba. Tali nga ffe.
Omutume Yokaana atubuulira ddala ku njiri y’obununuzi. Abantu bangi tebaagala kukkiriza bintu God bye yatukolera (eky’okuba nti Yesu Kristo yajja mu mazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu).
Bwe wabaawo abatakkiriza nga bwe baagambibwa n’abo abakkiriza mu bintu byonna God by’atukoledde (abo abagamba mu maaso ga God nti, “Ndi mutuukirivu” n’abalala abagamba nti, “Ndi mwonoonyi ”), baki abagamba amazima?
Abo abatakkiriza mu bintu bye God yakoze, obujulizi bw’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu balimba. Balina okukkiriza okw’obulimba. Abo abatakkiriza bakola God mulimba.
Tomufuula mulimba. Yesu yajja ku mugga Yoludaani era bwatyo (ng’abatizibwa) n’atuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna (n’aggyawo ebibi by’ensi).
Omwoyo ogutali gwa mazima gwegaana okubatizibwa kwa Yesu n’obutukuvu bwe
| Sitaani ne badayimooni beegaana ki? |
| Okubatiza kwa Yesu n’Obutukuvu Bwe |
Oyo akikiriza mu Mwana we alina obujulizi mu ye. Omuntu eyanunuliddwa akikiriza nti ebibi bye yali byayisibwa ku Yesu bwe yabatizibwa, era nti baalokolebwa n’amazzi n’omusaayi gwa Yesu. Bakkiriza nti Yesu yazaalibwa mu nsi eno okuyita mu mubiri gwa Maliyamu; Yabatizibwa mu mugga Yoludaani nga tannafiira ku Musaalaba; Yafa era n’azuukira.
Abo abatuukirivu balina obujulizi. Obujulizi bw’obulokozi bwaffe buli mu kukkiriza kwaffe mu Yesu, eyajja n’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Obujulizi kuli mu ggwe. “Lina obujulizi mu ggwe.” Ndagamba nti: Tebali bulokozi singa tewali bujulizi; obujulizi bw’obulokozi buli mu ggwe.
Omutume Yokaana yagamba nti, “Akkiriza Omwana wa God alina okutegeeza mu ye.” (1 Yokaana 5:10) Kye kuba n’omujulizi okukkiriza mu musaayi gwokka ogwali ku Musaalaba? Okukkiriza mu mazzi naye nga si musaayi? Olina okukkiriza mu byonna ebisatu God abitegeere.
Olwo Yesu lw’ajja okukuwa obujulizi nti “olokose”. Ogamba nti ojja kuba n’obujulizi bw’oba okkiririza mu bibiri byokka (omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu)? Kyandibadde kukkiriza God mu ngeri yo. Kyandibadde “kwewa obujulizi”.
Bangi nnyo nga bano. Waliwo bangi nnyo mu nsi abakkiririza mu babiri bokka ku basatu. Bawa obujulizi nti balokose era bawandiika ebitabo ebikwata ku nsonga eyo. Nga balungi nnyo mu kwogera! Kinyiiza nnyo. Beeyita “Ababuulizi b’Enjiri”. Balowooza nti si “Ababuulizi b’Enjiri” bokka, naye “bannaddiini”. Tebakkiriza mu “mazzi” naye era beenyumiriza ku bulokozi! Nga balabika nga ab’amagezi! Naye tebalina bujulizi bwa God. Kiba kiteberezebwa kyokka.
Oyinza otya okubuyita obulokozi? Abo bokka abakkiriza mu Yesu, eyajja olw’Omwoyo, amazzi, n’omusaayi, be balina obujulizi bwa God n’abantu.
Omutume Pawulo yagamba nti, “Kubanga enjiri yaffe teyajja gye muli mu kigambo bugambo, wabula era ne mu maanyi, ne mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu, ne mu kutegeerera ddala okungi.” (1 Abasessaloniika 1:5) Sitaani asanyuka nnyo abantu bwe bakkiririza mu musaayi gwa Yesu gwokka. “Oo, mmwe abasirusiru, mulimba... ha-ha!” Waliwo bangi abakkiriza nti abantu bwe batendereza omusaayi gwa Yesu, Sitaani agenda. Balowooza nti Sitaani atya Omusaalaba. Sitaani ateeka ku show yokka. Tetusaanidde kulimbibwalimbibwa.
Omusambwa bw’ayingira mu muntu, ayinza okugwa eddalu n’afuumuuka ku kamwa. Si kizibu kizibu eri sitaani. Sitaani alina amaanyi okuleetera omuntu okukola kumpi buli kintu kyonna. Sitaani alina okukozesa obwongo bwe katono. God yawa sitaani amaanyi ag’engeri zonna okuggyako amaanyi ag’okutta. Sitaani asobola okuleetera omuntu okukankanya ng’ekikoola, n’akuba enduulu, n’okufuumuula mu kamwa.
Kino bwe kibaawo, abakkiriza baleekaana nti, “Mugende mu linnya lya Yesu! Beera mugende!” Era omusajja bw’addamu okutegeera n’adda mu mbeera ye eya bulijjo, bagamba nti omusaayi gwa Yesu gwe gwalina amaanyi. Naye gano si ge maanyi g’omusaayi gwe. Sitaani “okwolesa” kwokka.
Sitaani ne sitaani basinga kutya abo abakkiriza mu Yesu, eyatunaaza n’okubatiza kwe, era eyatutwalira omusango n’omusaayi gwe, era ku lunaku olwokusatu n’azuukira. Sitaani tajja kusigala nga yeetoolodde omujulizi ku kubatiza kwa Yesu n’obulokozi bw’omusaayi.
Nga bw’omanyi, abasosodooti Abakatoliki oluusi bagoba sitaani. Tukirabye mu firimu. Mu firimu ya “Akabonero (The Omen)”, Faaza awanise omusaalaba ogw’embaawo n’agukankanya kyokka Faaza n’afa. Omuntu eyazaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri teyandiwanguddwa bwati.
Ayogera n’obuvumu ku mazzi n’omusaayi gwa Yesu. Sitaani bwe yagezaako okumubonyaabonya, yabuuzanga sitaani nti, “Okimanyi nti Yesu yanzigyawo ebibi byange byonna?” Olwo sitaani yandidduse. Sitaani akyawa okubeera okwetooloola “oyo azaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri”. Singa “azaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri” yamala kutuula awo, sitaani yandigezezzaako okutoloka. Kigambibwa nti abatakkiriza God bamufuula mulimba. Tebakkiriza mu bujulizi bw’Omwana we, omujulizi w’amazzi n’omusaayi.
| Obujulirwa bw’Omwana wa God bwe buliwa? |
| Okubatizibwa kwe, omusaayi gwe, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu |
Obujulirwa bw’Omwana wa God bwe buliwa? Kye kiri nti yajja ku Mwoyo n’aggyawo ebibi byaffe n’amazzi. Yatwala ebibi byonna eby’ensi ku ye era n’atufukirira omusaayi ku Musaalaba. Okwo si kwe kununulibwa kw’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu?
Abantu boogera bulimba mu maaso ga God kubanga tebakkiririza mu njiri y’amazzi n’omusaayi, enjiri y’obununuzi. Enzikiriza zaabwe za bulimba, era babunyisa obulimba buno.
Ka tuddeyo mu 1 Yokaana 5. Olunyiriri olw’ekkumi n’olumu lugamba nti, “Era okutegeeza kwe kuno nti God yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu obwo buli mu Mwana we.” Kitugamba nti God yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu buli mu muntu abufuna. Ate era, obulamu buno buli mu Mwana we.
Abo abafuna obulamu obutaggwaawo bebo abanunulibwa nga bakkiririza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe. Abanunuddwa bafuna obulamu obutaggwaawo era babeera balamu emirembe gyonna. Ofunye obulamu obutaggwaawo?
Mu lunyiriri olw’ekkumi n’ebiri, “Alina Omwana alina obulamu; atalina Mwana wa God talina bulamu.” Mu ngeri endala, oyo akkiririza mu bintu Omwana bye yakola ku nsi: Okubatizibwa kwe, n’okufiira ku Musaalaba, n’okuzuukira kwe, alina obulamu obutaggwaawo. Naye oyo alekawo wadde ekimu ku ebyo, tajja kuba na bulamu, era tajja kununulibwa.
Omutume Yokaana yayawula abantu ba God ng’asinziira ku kukkiriza kwabwe mu bintu Yesu bye yakola: amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ebintu bino bitubuulira oba balina Ekigambo mu bo. Alaga abanunuliddwa ng’asinziira ku kukkiriza kwabwe mu mazzi g’okubatiza kwa Yesu, omusaayi gwe, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
Abo Abatazaalibwa Lulala Tebasobola kwawula Ndiga na Embuzi
| Ani ayinza okwawula wakati w’abanunuliddwa n’abatanunuliddwa? |
| Oyo azaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri |
Omutume Yokaana yalambika bulungi abatuukirivu abaanunulibwa. Omutume Pawulo naye yakikola. Abaweereza ba God baawulamu batya endiga n’embuzi? Baawulamu batya abaweereza ba God ab’amazima ku beefuula? Abo abanunulibwa nga bakkiririza mu mazzi n’omusaayi gwa Yesu bafuna amaanyi ag’okulaba.
Omuntu oba musumba, omubuulizi w’enjiri, oba mukadde, bw’aba tasobola kutegeera banunuddwa, bw’aba tasobola kwawula ndiga n’embuzi, aba ye kennyini aba tannanunulibwa, era talina bulamu mu ye. Naye abo abanunuliddwa mu mazima basobola okulaba enjawulo. Abo abatalina bulamu mu bo bennyini tebasobola kulaba njawulo wadde okugikkiriza.
Kiba ng’okwawula langi ez’enjawulo mu nzikiza. Green ye kiragala ate enjeru ye njeru. Bw’ozibiriza amaaso, tosobola kulaba wadde okukkiriza langi.
Naye abo abazibudde amaaso basobola okutegeera n’enjawulo entonotono mu langi. Basobola okumanya ki kiragala ne ki ekyeru. Mu ngeri y’emu, waliwo enjawulo eyeeyolese wakati w’abanunuliddwa n’abo abatanunulibwa.
Tulina okubuulira enjiri y’obununuzi, enjiri y’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Tulina okuyimuka era tuyake. Bwe tukuŋŋaanya abantu abatwetoolodde okubunyisa enzikiriza, tetwogera na bigambo bya muntu. Mu Baibuli, 1 Yokaana 5 ennyonnyola amakulu gaayo. Tulina okukinnyonnyola mutendera ku mutendera waleme kubaawo kutabulwa.
Ekigambo kye tubunyisa, kwe kugamba, ekigambo ky’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu gwa Yesu, kye kitangaala ky’obununuzi. Okumanyisa abantu “amazzi” ga Yesu kuba kwakaayakana. Okumanyisa “omusaayi” gwa Yesu kwe kwakaayakana. Tulina okukitegeeza bulungi nnyo waleme kubaawo muntu yenna ku nsi atamanyi kino.
Singa abanunuddwa tebasituka ne bayaka, abantu bangi bajja kufa nga tebanunuddwa, era God tajja kusanyuka. Yandituyise abaweereza abagayaavu. Tulina okubunyisa enjiri y’amazzi n’omusaayi gwa Yesu.
Ensonga lwaki nneeddiŋŋana emirundi mingi kwe kuba nti okubatiza kwa Yesu kikulu nnyo mu kulokolebwa kwaffe. Bwe twogera n’abaana, tulina okunnyonnyola ebintu emirundi n’emirundi, nga tuyita mu buli nsonga tusobole okukakasa nti bategeera.
Singa twali tugezaako okuyigiriza omusajja atasoma, osanga twandisoose kutandikira ku nnyiriri. Oluvannyuma twasobola okumuyigiriza mpolampola engeri y’okuwandiika ebigambo nga tukozesa ennukuta zino. Bwe yasobola okugatta ebigambo nga “okubonereza”, twatandika okunnyonnyola amakulu g’ebigambo bino. Eno y’engeri yennyini gye tusaanidde okwogeramu n’abantu ku Yesu okukakasa nti ddala bategeera.
Tusaanidde okunnyonnyola obulungi okubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Yajja mu nsi muno olw’amazzi, omusaayi, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Nsaba okkirize Yesu ng’omulokozi wo era onunulibwe.
Okununulibwa kw’amazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu kusibuka mu kukkiriza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu, omusaayi ku Musaalaba, n’okukkiriza nti Yesu ye God, Omulokozi waffe.
Okubuulira kuno nakwo kuliwo mu nkola y`ebitabo by`amasannyalaze. Koona ku kifuniko ky`ekitabo wansi.
