[3-4] Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu Kye Kifaananyi ky’Obulokozi eri Aboonoonyi (1 Yokaana 5:1-12)

 

 

Twafuuka batuukirivu tutya?

Okuyita mu kisa kya God

 

Twazaalibwa ku nsi eno, naye nga tetunnazaalibwa God yali atumanyidde dda. Yamanya nti twandizaaliddwa nga tuli boonoonyi era n’alokola ffenna abakkiriza okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwe, okwaggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna. Yalokola abakkiriza bonna n’abafuula abantu be bonna.

Bino byonna bivaamu olw’ekisa kya God. Nga bwe kyogera mu Zabbuli 8:4, “Omuntu kye kiki, ggwe okumujjukira.” Abo abalokoka okuva mu bibi byonna be bafuna okwagala kwe okwenjawulo. Be baana be.

Twali ki, ffe abaakkiriza mu musaayi gwe n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu gwokka, nga tetunnafuuka baana ba God, nga tetunnafuuka batuukirivu era nga tetunnalokolebwa era nga tetunnaweebwa ddembe kumuyita Kitaffe? Twali boonoonyi, boonoonyi busoonoonyi abazaalibwa okubeera mu nsi eno okumala emyaka 60-70 oba emyaka 70-80 bwe tuba abalamu obulungi.

Nga tetunnanaazibwa bibi byaffe, era nga tetunnaba na kukkiriza mu njiri ey’Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe, twali basajja abatali batuukirivu nga bakakafu nti tujja kuzikirizibwa.

Omutume Pawulo yagamba nti kyali lwa kisa kya God kye yali ekyo kye yali. Kiri lwa kisa kye kye tuli kye tuli kaakano. Tumwebaza olw’ekisa kye. Omutonzi yakka mu nsi eno n’atulokola, n’atufuula abaana be, abantu be. Tumwebaza olw’ekisa ky’obulokozi bw’amazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

Ensonga ki lwaki atukkiriza okubeera abaana be, abatuukirivu? Kiva ku kuba nti tuli balungi okutunula? Kiva ku kuba nti tusaanidde nnyo? Oba lwakuba tuli balungi nnyo? Ka tukilowoozeeko era tuwebaze awagwanira.

Ensonga eri nti God yatutonda okutufuula abantu be era okutusobozesa okubeera mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu naye. God yatufuula abantu be atusobozese okubeera naye emirembe gyonna. Tewali nsonga ndala lwaki God yatuwa omukisa ogw’obulamu obutaggwaawo. Si kituufu nti yatufuula abantu be kubanga tulabika obulungi, tuli basaanidde nnyo, oba tubeera obulamu obulongoofu okusinga ebitonde bye ebirala byonna. Ensonga yokka eri nti atuganza.

“Era kaakano ge gaabalokola mmwe mu kifaananyi eky’amazima, kwe kubatizibwa.” (1 Peetero 3:21) “Emazzi mwe gaalokolera abantu si bangi, gye myoyo omunaana.” (1 Peetero 3:20)

Batono bokka, omu mu kibuga n’ababiri mu maka balokoddwa. Tusinga abalala? Nedda ddala. Tetuli ba njawulo nnyo, naye tulokoddwa olw’okukkiriza kwaffe mu mazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

Kyamagero mu byamagero nti tulokoddwa, era kirabo n’omukisa okuva eri God ebitaliiko bukwakkulizo nti tusobola okumuyita Kitaffe, Mukama waffe. Tetusobola ennaku zonna okwegaana kino. Twandiyinza tutya okumuyita Kitaffe oba Mukama waffe singa twali tukyali boonoonyi?

Bwe tulowooza ku mazima nti tulokoddwa, tumanyi nti God atuganza. Twandizaaliddwa ne tufa nga tetulina makulu gonna era ffenna twandigenze mu ggeyeena singa tekyali lwa kwagala kwe, mikisa gye. Twebaza God nate era nate olw’emikisa gye n’okwagala okwatufuula abaana be era abasaanidde mu maaso ge.

 

 

 

Lwaki abantu mu biseera bya Nuuwa bazikirira?

Kubanga tebaakkiriza mu mazzi (okubatizibwa kwa Yesu).

 

“Era kaakano ge gaabalokola mmwe mu kifaananyi eky’amazima, kwe kubatizibwa.” Kyawandiikibwa mu Peetero nti emyoyo munaana gyokka gye gyalokolebwa okuyita mu mazzi. Abantu bameka abaaliwo mu kiseera kya Nuuwa? Tetulina ngeri yonna gye tuyinza kumanyamu bameka, naye katugambe nti baali nga obukadde. Abantu 8 bokka mu maka ga Nuuwa ku bukadde be baalokolebwa.

Omugerageranyo gwandibadde nga gwe gumu leero. Bagamba nti mu kiseera kino abantu abasoba mu buwumbi 8 ku nsi. Abantu bameka abanaazibwa ebibi byabwe mu abo abakkiriza mu Yesu leero? Singa tutunuulira ekibuga kimu kyokka, bandibadde batono nnyo.

Mu kibuga ekirimu abantu nga 250,000, bameka mu bo abandibadde abanunuliddwa okuva mu bibi byabwe―oboolyawo 200? Olwo omugerageranyo gwandibadde gutya? Kyanditegeeza nti abantu abatakka wansi wa muntu omu ku lukumi baali bafunye omukisa ogw’okununulibwa.

Kiteeberezebwa nti mu Korea mulimu Abakristaayo obukadde nga 12 nga mw’otwalidde n’Abakatoliki. Mu bano, bameka mu bo abazaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri amazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu? Tulina okukijjukira nti mu kiseera kya Nuuwa mu bantu bonna abaaliwo ku nsi, baalokoka 8 bokka. Tulina okumanya n’okukkiriza nti Yesu yanaaza ebibi by’abakkiriza bonna mu kubatizibwa kwe, mwe yayita okuggyawo ekibi kyonna.

Tewali bangi abakkiriza nti Yesu yatununula ffenna n’Okubatiza kwe n’omusaayi gwe ku Musaalaba. Laba ekifaananyi ekimanyiddwa ennyo ekya ‘Okuzuukira kwa Yesu.’ Abantu bameka abazuukiziddwa abalagibwa eyo? Mu bo bameka abakugu mu by’eddiini?

Leero, waliwo abakugu mu by’eddiini bangi mu nsi, naye tusanga batono nnyo abamanyi era abakkiriza mu kubatiza kw’obununuzi. Abamu ku bannaddiini bagamba nti ensonga lwaki Yesu yabatizibwa yali nti yali mwetoowaze, ate abamu bagamba nti yabatizibwa asobole okufaanana abasajja abalala.

Naye kyawandiikibwa mu Baibuli nti abatume bonna, omuli Peetero ne Yokaana, baawa obujulizi ku kukyusa ebibi byaffe eri Yesu okuyita mu kubatiza kwe, era naffe tukikkiriza.

Abatume bajulira mu Byawandiikibwa nti ebibi byaffe byayisibwa ku Yesu n’okubatizibwa kwe. Bwe bujulizi bw’ekisa kya God obw’ekitalo nti tusobola okulokokka nga tukkiriza bukkiriza ekyo.

 

 

 

Ani afuna okwagala kwa God okutaliiko kkomo?

Omuntu akkiririza mu Okubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe

 

Amadiini gonna gakakasa obulokozi mu nzikiriza zaabwe, era abantu bangi balowooza nti okubatizibwa kwa Yesu njigiriza yokka ey’ekibiina ky’Abakristaayo. Naye si kituufu. Mu bitabo enkumi n’enkumi bye nsomye, sisobola kufuna kitabo kyonna kikwata ku bulokozi ekirambika enkolagana eriwo wakati w’obununuzi mu kubatizibwa n’omusaayi gwa Yesu n’obulokozi.

Munaana bokka be baalokolebwa mu biseera bya Nuuwa. Simanyi bameka abandirokoddwa leero, naye oboolyawo si bangi. Abo abalilokolebwa be bakkiriza mu kubatizibwa n’omusaayi gwa Yesu. Nga nkyalira amakanisa mangi, nkitegeera enfunda n’enfunda nti tewali abuulira njiri ya kubatiza kwa Yesu, nga eno y’enjiri ey’amazima.

Bwe tutakkiririza mu kununulibwa kw’okubatiza n’omusaayi gwa Yesu, tukyali boonoonyi. (Si nsonga ngeri gye tugenda mu kkanisa n’obwesigwa.) Tuyinza okugenda mu kkanisa n’obwesigwa obulamu bwaffe bwonna. Naye bwe tuba nga tukyalina ekibi mu mitima gyaffe, tukyali boonoonyi.

Bwe tuba nga tugenda mu kkanisa okumala emyaka 50 naye nga tukyalina ekibi mu mitima gyaffe, okukkiriza kw’emyaka 50 si kirala wabula bulimba. Kiba kirungi nnyo okuba n’olunaku lumu lwokka olw’okukkiriza okwa nnamaddala. Mu abo abakkiriza mu Yesu, abo bokka abakkiriza obulungi amakulu g’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe be balikkirizibwa mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.

Okukkiriza okutuufu kwe kukkiriza mu mazima nti Omwana wa God yakka mu nsi eno era n’abatizibwa okugyawo ebibi byonna eby’ensi. Kuno kwe kukkiriza okututwala mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu. Tusaanidde era tukkirize nti Yesu yayiwa omusaayi ku Musaalaba ku lulwo ne ku lwange. Tusaanidde okumanya kino tulyoke tumwebaze.

Tuli ki? Tuli baana ba God be yalokola n’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe. Tuyinza tutya obutamwebaza? Yesu yabatizibwa mu Yoludaani nga alina emyaka 30 okutulokolera. Olw’ekyo, yaggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna era n’afuna omusango ku lwaffe ku Musaalaba.

Bwe tulowooza ku kino, tetusobola butamwebaza mu bwetoowaze. Tusaanidde okumanya nti buli kimu Yesu kye yakola mu nsi eno kyali lwa bulokozi bwaffe. Okusooka yakka mu nsi eno. Yabatizibwa, yakomererwa ku Musaalaba, yazuukira okuva mu bafu oluvannyuma lw’ennaku 3, era kaakano atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa God.

Okununulibwa kwa God kuli lwa buli omu ku ffe awatali kusosola. Obulokozi bwa Yesu bwonna buli lwa ggwe nange. Tutendereza God olw’okwagala kwe n’emikisa gye.

Tumanyi oluyimba lw’enjiri olugenda bwe luti. “♫Waliwo emboozi ennungi. Mu bantu bangi nnyo mu nsi, nze nalina okwagala kwe n’obulokozi bwe. Oh, okwagala kwe nga kwewuunyisa! Okwagala kwe gyendi, Okwagala kwe gyendi. Waliwo emboozi ennungi. Mu bantu bangi nnyo mu nsi, ffe abalokoka, abaafuuka abantu be. Tutwambala okwagala kwe. Oh, okwagala kwa God, ekisa kya God. Oh, okwagala kwe nga kwewuunyisa! Okwagala kwe gyendi.♫”

Yesu yakka okulokola ggwe nange, era okununulibwa okw’okubatizibwa kwe kuli lwa ggwe nange. Enjiri si lugero bufumo, mazima agatuggyamu obulamu obw’obuzibu n’atuyingiza mu bwakabaka obulungi obwa God. Okukkiriza nkolagana wakati wa God nange.

Yakka mu nsi eno okutulokolera. Yabatizibwa era n’afuna omusango gw’Omusaalaba okunaaza ebibi byaffe.

Nga mukisa ki abakkiriza bwe basobola okuyita God Kitaabwe! Tuyinza tutya okukkiriza mu Yesu ng’Omulokozi waffe era tulokolebwe okuva mu kibi n’okukkiriza kwaffe? Byonna bisoboka olw’okwagala kwe okutaliiko kkomo gye tuli. Tulokoddwa olw’oyo eyasooka okutwagala.

 

 

 

“Kubanga era ne Kristo yabonyaabonyezebwa olw’ebibi omulundi gumu, omutuukirivu olw’abatali batuukirivu, atuleete eri God”. (1 Peetero 3:18) Yesu Kristo yabatizibwa olw’okununulibwa kwaffe era n’afa omulundi gumu ku Musaalaba okulokolera ggwe nange, abatali batuukirivu.

 

Tulokolebwa omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna oba mpolampola?

Omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna

 

Okuggyawo obwetaavu bwaffe okuyimirira mu maaso ga God olw’okusalirwa omusango, yafa omulundi gumu ku nsi eno. Tusobole okubeera mu bwakabaka obw’eggulu mu maaso ga God, yakka mu nsi muno mu mubiri n’anaaza ddala ebibi byaffe byonna omulundi gumu n’okubatizibwa kwe, okufa kwe ku musaalaba, n’okuzuukira kwe.

Okkiriza nti Yesu Kristo yatulokolera mu bujjuvu n’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe? Bw’otakkiriza njiri y’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe, tosobola kulokoka. Olw’obunafu bwaffe, tetusobola kuzaalibwa mulundi gwa kubiri bwe tutakkiriza nti Yesu yanaaza ddala ebibi byaffe byonna omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna n’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe.

Yabatizibwa okugyawo ebibi byaffe byonna era n’asalirwa omusango ku Musaalaba ku lwaffe omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna. Yesu yanaaza ebibi byonna eby’aboonoonyi omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna n’okununulibwa okw’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe.

Kyandibadde ekitasoboka ffe ng’abantu okununulibwa singa tulina okwenenya buli lwe twonoona, okubeera abalungi era abazirakisa buli kiseera, n’okuwaayo ebintu bingi eri ekkanisa nayo.

Noolwekyo, okukkiriza mu kubatizibwa kwa Yesu n’omusaayi ku Musaalaba kyetaagisa ku lw’obulokozi bwaffe. Tuteekwa okukkiriza mu mazzi n’omusaayi. Tetusobola kumala gakola bikolwa birungi okusobola okuzaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri.

Tekigasa kugula ngoye nnungi eri abaavu oba okuwaayo emmere ennungi eri abasumba. Yesu alokola abo bokka abakkiriza mu kubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe. Bwe tukkiriza nti God yatulokolera okuyita mu Yesu n’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna, tulilokolebwa.

Abamu bayinza okulowooza nti newankubadde God yagamba kino mu Bayibuli, balina okukyongera okulowoozaako. Kino kiri ku bo. Naye tusaanidde okukkiriza Ekigambo kye nga bwe kyawandiikibwa.

Mu Abaebbulaniya 10:1-10, kyawandiikibwa nti yatulokolera omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna. Kituufu nti God yalokola abo abakkiriza mu kubatizibwa n’omusaayi gwa Yesu omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna. Naffe tusaanidde okukikkiriza bwe tutyo. “♫Yafa omulundi gumu, n’atulokola omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna. Abooluganda, mukkirize mulokoke. Muteeke emigugu gyammwe wansi w’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu.♫” Yesu yatulokolera okuva mu butali butuukirivu n’ebibi byonna omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna bwe yabatizibwa omulundi gumu, n’ayiwa omusaayi omulundi gumu.

“Kubanga era ne Kristo yabonyaabonyezebwa olw’ebibi omulundi gumu, omutuukirivu olw’abatali batuukirivu.” (1 Peetero 3:18) Yesu ye God atalina kibi, atakolangako kibi. Yakka gye tuli mu mubiri okulokola abantu okuva mu bibi byabwe. Yabatizibwa n’aggyawo ebibi byonna eby’abatali batuukirivu. Yatulokolera okuva mu kibi n’obutali butuukirivu.

Ebibi byonna eby’abantu okuva ku kuzaalibwa kwabwe okutuuka ku kufa byayisibwa ku Yesu bwe yabatizibwa, era bonna baalokolebwa okuva ku musango bwe yayiwa omusaayi n’afa ku Musaalaba. Yabatizibwa ku lw’aboonoonyi era n’afa mu kifo ky’aboonoonyi.

Kuno kwe kununulibwa okw’okubatizibwa kwe. Yesu yalokola ffenna abaali aboonoonyi omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna. Nga buli omu ku ffe munafu! Yesu yanunula ebibi byaffe byonna okuva ku kuzaalibwa kwaffe okutuuka ku kufa era ne yeewaayo ku lw’omusango gw’Omusaalaba. Ffe abakkiriza mu Yesu tusaanidde okukkiriza nti yatulokolera omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna n’okubatizibwa kwe n’omusaayi gwe. 

Tuli banafu, naye Yesu si munafu. Tetuli beesigwa, naye Yesu mwesigwa. God yatulokolera omulundi gumu emirembe gyonna. “Kubanga God bwe yayagala, ensi bw’ati, n’okuwaayo n’awaayo Omwana we eyazaalibwa omu yekka buli muntu yenna amukkiriza aleme okubula, naye abeere n’obulamu obutaggwaawo.” (Yokaana 3:16) God yatuwa Omwana we eyazaalibwa omu yekka. Yalina Omwana we okubatizibwa okusobola okuyisa ebibi byonna eby’ensi ku Yesu alyoke afune omusango ku lw’abantu bonna.

Nga bulokozi bwa kitalo ki buno! Nga kwagala kwa kitalo ki kuno! Twebaza God olw’okwagala kwe n’obulokozi bwe. God alokola abo abakkiriza mu mazzi n’omusaayi gwa Yesu: okubatizibwa kwa Yesu n’amazima nti Yesu ye Mwana wa God.

N’olwekyo, abo abakkiriza mu Yesu basobola okulokolebwa nga bakkiririza mu mazima g’okubatiza n’omusaayi gwa Yesu ne bafuna obulamu obutaggwaawo ng’abatuukirivu. Ffenna tuteekwa okukikkiriza.

Ani yatulokolera? God ye yatulokolera, oba kimu ku bitonde bye kye kyatulokolera? Yali Yesu, ye God, eyatulokolera. Twalokolebwa kubanga twakkiriza mu kununulibwa kwa God, era buno bwe bulokozi obw’okununulibwa.

 

 

 

Amakulu ga “Kristo” Ge Gano Ki?

Kabona, Kabaka, ne Nnabbi

 

Yesu Kristo ye God. Yesu ategeeza Omulokozi, ate Kristo ategeeza “oyo eyafukibwako amafuta”. Nga Samwiri bwe yafuka amafuta ku Sawulo mu Ndagaano Enkadde, bakabaka baafukibwako amafuta, bakabona baafukibwako amafuta era nnabbi okusobola okuweereza nga nnabbi, yalina okufukibwako amafuta.

Yesu yajja mu nsi eno era n’afukibwako amafuta olw’emirimo esatu: ogwa Kabona, ogwa Kabaka, n’ogwa Nnabbi. Nga Kabona ow’omu ggulu, yabatizibwa okutwala ebibi by’omuntu ku Ye.

Ng’agondera ekilaamo kya Kitaawe, yeewaayo ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi mu maaso ga Kitaawe. “Yesu n’amugamba nti Nze kkubo, n’amazima n’obulamu: tewali ajja eri Kitange, wabula ng’ayita mu nze.”(Yokaana 14:6) Yesu yalokola ffe abamukkiriza ng’aggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwe era n’okukomererwa.

“Kubanga obulamu bw’ennyama buba mu musaayi.” (Ebyabaleevi 17:11) Yesu yayiwa omusaayi ku Musaalaba oluvannyuma lw’okubatizibwa kwe; bw’atyo n’awaayo obulamu bwe mu maaso ga God ng’empeera y`ebibi byaffe tulyoke ffe abakkiriza tulokolebwe.

Yazuukira oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu ng’amaze okufa ku Musaalaba era n’abuulira enjiri eri emyoyo egyali gisibiddwa mu kkomera. Abo abatannaba kununulibwa bali ng’abasibe ab’omwoyo mu kkomera ly’ekibi, era gye bali, Yesu abuulira enjiri ey’amazima, enjiri ey’amazzi n’omusaayi. God atuwa enjiri ey’amazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu okutulokolera. Buli akkiriza mu yo azaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri.

 

 

 

Tuyinza tutya okuba n’omwoyo omulungi mu maaso ga God?

Nga tulina okukkiriza mu kubatiza n’omusaayi gwa Yesu

 

Yesu Kristo ye Mulokozi waffe, era kijulirwa mu 1 Peetero 3:21, “Era kaakano ge gaabalokola mmwe mu kifaananyi eky’amazima, kwe kubatizibwa, si kuggyawo mpitambi za mubiri, wabula okuddamu okw’omwoyo omulungi eri God, olw’okuzuukira kwa Yesu Kristo.” Amazzi ag’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu kyetaagisa ennyo ku lw’obulokozi bw’omwonoonyi.

Yesu yanaaza ebibi by’aboonoonyi bonna ng’atwala ebibi bino ku Ye okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwe. Okkiriza mu kubatizibwa kwa Yesu? Okkiriza nti emitima gyaffe ginaazibwa okuva ku bibi byonna okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwa Yesu? Emitima gyaffe ginaazibwa okuva ku bibi byonna, naye omubiri gwaffe gukyayonoona.

“Omuntu anunuddwa” tekitegeeza nti tajja kuddamu kwonoona. Tukola ekibi. Naye emitima gyaffe gisigala nga miyonjo okuva mu kibi olw’okukkiriza kwaffe mu kubatiza kwe. Kitegeeza nti, “Si kuggyawo mpitambi za mubiri, wabula okuddamu okw’omwoyo omulungi eri God.” (1 Peetero 3:21)

Okuva Yesu bwe yanaaba ebibi byange, era nga God bwe yakkiriza omusango ku lwange, nnyinza ntya obutamukkiriza? Okumanya nti Yesu, ye God, yamponya okuyita mu kubatiza kwe n’omusaayi gwe, nnyinza ntya obutamukkiriza? Twalokolebwa mu maaso ga God era kati omuntu waffe ow’omunda muyonjo. Tetukyayinza kugamba mu maaso ga God nti Yesu teyanaaza ddala bibi byaffe, nga bwe tutasobola kugamba nti God tatwagala.

Omuntu waffe ow’omunda alina ebirowoozo ebiyitiridde era buli lwe tukola ekikyamu atugamba. Singa omuntu waffe ow’omunda atawaanyizibwa wadde akatono, tetusobola kusumululwa ddala kibi nga tetukkiririza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu. Y’engeri yokka gye tuyinza okuba n’omuntu ow’omunda omulungi.

Omuntu waffe ow’omunda bw’atutawaanya, kitegeeza nti waliwo ekikyamu. Amazzi ag’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu ganaaza obukyafu bwonna obw’ekibi. Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byaffe byonna n’okubatizibwa kwe n’atunaaza. Kino bwe tukikkiriza ddala, n’omuntu waffe ow’omunda asobola okulongoosebwa mu butuufu. Omuntu waffe ow’omunda ayinza atya okunaazibwa? Nga tukkiriza mu kubatiza n’omusaayi gwa Yesu. Buli muntu alina omuntu ow’omunda omubi era omucaafu okuva ku kuzaalibwa kwe. Naye bwe tukkiriza nti ebibi byaffe byonna byayisibwa eri Yesu, tusobola okusangulawo ebibi byaffe byonna.

Kuno kwe kukkiriza kw’abazaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri. Si kintu ky’okkiriza mu bumanyirivu. Omuntu wo ow’omunda muyonjo? Kiyonjo lwakuba obadde mu bulamu obulungi, oba kiyonjo olw’okuba ebibi byo byonna byayisibwa ku Yesu n’omukkiririzaamu? Okuyitira mu kukkiriza kuno kwokka kw’osobola okufuna omuntu ow’omunda omuyonjo.

Waliwo ebigambo ebirina obulamu n’ebigambo ebitalinaamu bulamu. Omuntu ow’omunda gy’abantu bonna gisobola gitya okunaazibwa? Engeri yokka gye tuyinza okuba abatuukirivu n’okuba n’omuntu ow’omunda omuyonjo kwe kukkiriza mu kununulibwa okutuukiridde okuyita mu Yesu.

Bwe tutukuzibwa ng’okukkiriza mu kubatizibwa kwe, tekitegeeza kuggyawo mpitambi za mubiri, wabula okuddamu kw’omwoyo gwa bwe omulungi eri God. Ku lw’ekyo, yajja era n’abatizibwa era n’afa ku Musaalaba era n’azuukira okuva mu bafu era kaakano atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa God.

Ekiseera bwe kinaatuuka, ajja kuddamu okujja mu nsi muno. “Alirabika omulundi ogw’okubiri awatali kibi eri abo abamulindirira, olw’obulokozi.” (Abaebbulaniya 9:28) Tukkiriza nti ajja kujja okutwala ffe abamulindirira n’obwagazi, abakkiriza mu kubatiza kwe n’omusaayi gwe.

 

 

 

Tusobola okulokoka awatali kubatizibwa kwa Yesu?

Obutasoboka

 

Tetwakitegeeza naye twafuna omukisa okukola okugezesa okutono mu emu ku makanisa gaffe.

Omusumba Park ow’ekkanisa eno yagamba omwami n’omukyala nti tewali kibi mu nsi, nga tayogeddeko makulu ga kubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Omwami yateranga okuwebuka mu kubuulira bwe yali ng’agenda mu makanisa amalala kubanga abasumba bonna babuuliranga enjiri nga teboogera ku kununulibwa okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwa Yesu, kale nga bamuwaliriza okwenenya buli lunaku.

Naye mu kkanisa eyo, yawuliriza okubuulira n’amaaso ge nga gagadde nnyo bwe yawulira nti ebibi bye byonna byali biyisiddwa ku Yesu. Kyanguyira mukyala we okumusendasenda okujja naye mu kkanisa.

Olunaku lumu, yali atudde mu kkanisa n’awulira Abaruumi 8:1. “Kale kaakano tebaliiko musango abali mu Kristo Yesu.” Olwo, yalowooza amangu nti, “Aa, omuntu bw’akkiriza mu Yesu, talina kibi. Olw’okuba nkkiriza mu Yesu, nange sirina kibi.”

Kale yayita muganda wa mukyala we ne mikwano gye mingi omu ku omu n’agamba nti, “Olina ekibi mu mutima gwo? Kale okukkiriza kwo si kutuufu.” Ku kino, Omusumba Park yabulwa eky’okukola. Omwami teyamanya ku kubatizibwa kwa Yesu, naye yanyikirira eri buli omu nti kaakano teyalina kibi.

Olwo omwami n’omukyala baatandika okuba n’ebizibu. Omukyala yali asinga omwami mu kukkiriza, naye yalina ekibi mu mutima gwe, so nga omwami agamba nti teyalina kibi. Omwami yagenda mu kkanisa emirundi mitono gyokka, naye yagamba nti yali takyalina kibi.

Omukyala yali mukakafu nti bombi baali bakyalina ekibi mu mitima gyabwe. Baatandika okuwakana ku kino. Omwami yanyikirira nti teyalina kibi kubanga “Kale kaakano tebaliiko musango abali mu Kristo Yesu”. Era omukyala yayomba nti akyalina ekibi mu mutima gwe.

Awo olunaku lumu, mukyala we n’akinyiiga nnyo n’asalawo okugenda okubuuza omusumba we kye yali ategeeza bwe yagamba nti ebibi byonna byayisibwa ku Yesu.

Kale olunaku lumu oluvannyuma lw’okusaba okw’akawungeezi, yatuma bba okuddayo eka n’ayolekera Omusumba Park n’ekibuuzo. Yagamba nti, “Mmanyi nti ogezaako okutubuulira ekintu, naye nkakasa nti waliwo ekitundu ekikulu ekikwekeddwa. Mbuulira kye kiri.” Era Omusumba Park yamubuulira ku kuzaalibwa omulundi ogw’okubiri mu mazzi ne mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu.

Awo n’ategeera mangu ensonga lwaki kyawandiikibwa mu Abaruumi 8:1 nti, “Kale kaakano tebaliiko musango abali mu Kristo Yesu.” Yakkiriza omulundi gumu era n’alokolebwa. Yakitegeera ku nkomerero nti ebibi byaffe byonna byayisibwa eri Yesu okuyita mu kubatiza kwe abo abali mu Kristo baleme kusalirwa musango.

Yatandika okutegeera Ebigambo ebyawandiikibwa. Ku nkomerero yazuula nti ekisumuluzo ky’okununulibwa kyali kubatizibwa kwa Yesu era nti tuyinza okufuuka abatuukirivu okuyita mu kununulibwa okw’okubatizibwa.

Omwami teyagenda waka naye yali amulindirira ebweru. Yabuuza nti, “Onunuddwa kaakano?”

Naye yawuliriza omusumba we bye yagamba mukyala we era ye kennyini n’ataataaganyizibwa. Yali tawulirangako ku njiri y’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Yali mukakafu nti teyakyalina kibi mu mutima gwe newankubadde nga teyakkiriza mu kubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Kale ewaka, baawakana nate.

Ku mulundi guno, embeera yali ekyuuse. Omukyala yawaliriza bba oba yalina ekibi mu mutima gwe oba nedda. Yamubuuza engeri gye yandibadde talina kibi nga takkiriza mu kubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Yamukubiriza okutunuulira ennyo omuntu we ow’omunda. Mu kwekenneenya omuntu we ow’omunda yakitegeera nti yali akyalina ekibi mu mutima gwe.

Kale yajja eri Omusumba Park n’ayatula nti yalina ekibi mu mutima gwe. Era yabuuza nti, “Bwe baateeka emikono gyabwe ku mutwe gwa Azazeri, kyali nga tebannagutta, oba nga bamaze okugutta?” Yali tawulirangako ku njiri ey’amazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kale yasobeddwa nnyo.

Eyo ye yali ensonga y’okugezesa kuno okw’omwoyo. Yesu yalina okubatizibwa okusobola okufuna ebibi byonna eby’ensi. Olwo lwokka lwe yayinza okufa ku Musaalaba kubanga empeera y’ekibi kwe kufa.

“Baateeka emikono gyabwe ku mutwe gw’ekiweebwayo nga tebannagutta, oba nga bamaze okugutta?” Kino yakibuuza kubanga yali asobeddwa ku by’okuteekebwako emikono n’okubatiza kwa Yesu. Kale Omusumba Park yannyonnyola okununulibwa okw’okubatizibwa kwa Yesu gy’ali.

Ku lunaku olwo, omwami yawulira omulundi ogwasooka enjiri ey’amazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu era n’anunulibwa. Yawulira enjiri omulundi gumu gwokka n’alokolebwa.

Okwo kwe kwali okugezesa ku kuleka okubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Tuyinza okugamba nti tetulina kibi naye mazima ddala tukyalina ekibi mu mitima gyaffe awatali kubatiza kwa Yesu. Abantu bulijjo bagamba nti Yesu yanaaza ekibi kyonna ng’afa ku Musaalaba, naye abo bokka abakkiriza mu kubatizibwa n’omusaayi gwa Yesu be basobola okugamba nti tebalina kibi mu maaso ga God.

Omusumba Park yakakasa eri omwami n’omukyala bano nti tetusobola kununulibwa ddala okuva mu bibi byaffe awatali kununulibwa okuyita mu kukkiriza mu kubatizibwa kwa Yesu.

 

 

 

Kifaananyi ki eky’obulokozi?

Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu

 

“Era kaakano ge gaabalokola mmwe mu kifaananyi eky’amazima, kwe kubatizibwa.” Yesu yakka mu nsi yaffe okunaaba ebibi byensi byonna, okufuula omuntu waffe ow’omunda okweru ng’omuzira. Tulongoosebwa ebibi byonna kubanga Yesu byonna yabitwala ku ye okuyita mu kubatiza kwe. Yatuwonya n’okubatiza kwe n’omusaayi gwe. N’olwekyo, abantu bonna balina okufukamira mu maaso ge.

Tulokoka nga tukkiririza mu Yesu. Tufuuka abaana ba God ne tugenda mu ggulu nga tukkiririza mu Yesu. Tufuuka batuukirivu nga tukkiririza mu Yesu. Ffe tuli bakabona ab’obwakabaka. Tuyinza okuyita God Kitaffe. Tubeera mu nsi muno, naye tuli bakabaka.

Okkiriza ddala nti God yalokola ffe abakkiriza mu kununulibwa okw’amazzi n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu? Okununulibwa kwaffe tekuliiko ngeri ya kutuukirira awatali kubatizibwa kwa Yesu. Okukkiriza okutuufu God ne Yesu kwe bakkiriza kwe kukkiriza enjiri eya Yesu ng’atulokolera n’okubatizibwa kwe, Omusaalaba gwe, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kuno kwe kukkiriza okutuufu kwokka.

Ebibi byaffe byanaazibwa Yesu bwe yabiggyawo n’okubatiza kwe era ebibi byaffe byonna byasasulwa bwe yavaamu omusaayi ku Musaalaba. Kristo Yesu yatulokola n’amazzi n’omwoyo. Yee! Tukkiriza!
