OMULOKOZI
ATAVAAWO BULI LUNAKU
Ekiro
kimu eky'enzikiza omuvubuka Omukristayo ayitibwa "Petero"
bwe yabulira mu nsiko omutaali bantu, Katonda yamuyita erinnya lye "Petero."
Eddoboozi eryava mu ggulu bwe lyaddamu okuyita omulundi ogw'okubiri
nti 'Petero' Petero bwe yayimirira n'atunula wansi era n'alaba nga yali
agenda okugwa mu lunnya oluwanvu mwe baasimanga amayinja.
Tekyandibadde
kya kitalo singa buli omu ku ffe ffena tuwulira Katonda ng'atuyita amannya
gaffe? Tekyandibadde kikulu singa Katonda yali mukwano gwaffe atambulira
awamu naffe ku lusegere era nga tusobola okutuula awamu naye ne tunyumya
emboozi naye ku ntalo zaffe ne ku bye tusuubira?

OKUBEERA AWAMU NE YESU OKUTALIIKO KIKOMO
Kikkirize
oba kigaane, tusobola okubeera okumpi ennyo ne Yesu okusinga bwe kyandibadde
singa Yesu yasigala naffe nga muntu alabibwa n'amaaso. Mu butuufu kyandibadde
kya kitalo ddala okubeera ne Yesu mu mubiri ng'ali mu kibuga kyaffe,
naye lowooza ku bungi bw'abantu abandibaddewo nga buli omu afuba okulaba
ng'amukubako eriiso lye. Lowooza nga kyanditumaze mu bulamu bwaffe bwonna
okufunayo akaseera ak'eddakiika entono ennyo okwogerako naye.
Kristo
ayagala okuteekawo enkolagana ey'oluganda ey'obuntu na buli kinnomu
kuffe. Eno y'ensonga lwaki yaleka ensi eno n'agenda okuweereza mu mulimu
ogw'enjawulo mu ggulu asobozese buli omu kuffe buli lunaku okubera okumpi
naye. Kubanga tali mu kifo kimu nga bwe gwali bwe yali ku nsi kuno,
mu kiseera kino okuyita mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu ali kumpi na buli muntu yenna
eyeewaddeyo okukulemberwa.
Kisuubizo ki ekizzaamu amanyi Kristo kye yatuwa nga tannaddayo mu ggulu?
"LABA
NZE NDI WAMU NAMWE ENNAKU ZONNA, okutuusa emirembe gino lwe giriggwaawo."
- Mataya 28:20.
Kristo
akola ki mu ggulu ekyo ekimusobozesa okubeera naffe ekiseera kyonna?
"Kale
BWE TULINA KABONA ASINGA OBUKULU omunene eyayita mu ggulu YESU OMWANA
WA KATONDA, tunywezenga okwatula kwaffe. Kubanga tetulina Kabona asinga
obukulu atayinza kulumirwa wamu naffe bunafu bwaffe; naye eyakemebwa
mu byonna bumu awatali kibi. Kale tusemberenga n'obuvumu eri entebe
ey'ekisa tulyoke tuweebwe okusaasirwa, era tufune ekisa olw'okubeerwa
bwe tukwetaaga." - Abebbulaniya 4:14-16.
Weetegereze
ebisuubizo bye tufuna olw'okubeera n'omuntu Yesu Omubaka waffe mu ggulu.
"Yakemebwa mu byonna bumu nga ffe." "Atuyamba bwe twetaaga
obuyambi." Nga tulina Yesu Kristo nga Kabona waffe asinga obukulu
tetwawuliddwa okuva ku ggulu erituli ewala; Kristo ayinza okutuyingiza
mu maaso ga Katonda mwennyini. Tekyewunyisa tulagiddwa "okusemberera
entebe ey'ekisa n'obuvumu."
Mu
ggulu Yesu ali mu kifo ki?
"(Naye
Kabona ono Yesu) bwe yamala okuwaayo ssaddaaka emu olw'ekibi okutuusa
emirembe gyonna, n'alyoka atuula KU MUKONO OGWA DDYO OGWA KATONDA."
- Abebbulaniya 10:12.
Kristo
omulamu - oyo atutegeera - ye mubaka waffe ali "ku mukono ogwa
ddyo" ogw'entebe ya Katonda.
Obulamu
bwa Yesu Kristo ku nsi kuno bwamuteekateeka butya okubeera Kabona waffe?
"Kyekyava
kimugwaanira mu byonna okufaananyizibwa BAGANDA BE, alyoke abeerenga
Kabona asinga obukulu, ow'ekisa omwesigwa mu bigambo ebiri eri Katonda,
olw'okutangirira ebibi by'abantu. Kubanga olw'okubonyabonyezebwa, KY'AVA
AYINZA OKUBABEERA ABO ABAKEMEBWA." - Abebbulaniya 2:17-18.
"Muganda
waffe" eyayambala obuntu bwaffe, yakemebwa nga ffe bwe tukemebwa,
mu kiseera kino ye Kabona waffe asinga obukulu ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa
Kitaffe. Yatufaanana, amanyi byonna bye tuyitamu. Yalumwako enjala,
ennyonta, yakemebwa, era yakoowa. Yatuukako ekiseera eky'okwetaga okusaasirwa
era n'okutegerwa.
Naye
ekisinga byonna, Yesu agwanira okubeera Kabona waffe asinga obukulu
kubanga "yafa olw'okutangirira" ebyonono byaffe. Yasasula
omuwendo ogw'ebibi byaffe bwe yafa mu kifo kyaffe. Eno y'enjiri, amawulire
amalungi eri abantu bonna abali buli wantu ate ag'ekiseera kyonna.
Omu
ku bakulembeze baffe ab'essomero lya Bayibuli bino bye bya mubaako:
"Omuwala
waffe asingira ddala obuto bwe yali aweza emyaka esatu entebe emenyebwa
n'emuluma olugalo n'eggumba n'eryasa. Bwe twali tumuddusa tumutwala
ew'omusawo, okukaaba kwe olw'obulumi kwatutuuka ku mitima. Naye mukulu
we ow'emyaka etaano kyamuyisa bubi nnyo. Sigenda kwerabira bigambo bye
bye yayogera ng'omusawo amaze okujjanjaba mune. Yakaaba n'agamba nti:
'Haaa
taata, singa kisoboka nandyagadde obulumi buno bubeere ku
ngalo yange!'"
Abantu
bonna bwe baali nga boononeddwa ekibi, era nga basaliddwa omusango ogw'okufa
emirembe gyonna, Yesu yagamba Kitaawe nti: "Kitange njagala kibere
ku nze." Era Kitaawe yawa Yesu ekyo kye yali ayagala ku musaalaba.
Omulokozi waffe yatuusibwako obulumi bwonna obwo obutubonyaabonya -
era n'okusingawo.
2. ENJIRI MU NDAGAANO ENKADDE
Abantu
ba Isiraeri bwe baasiisira wansi w'olusozi Sinaayi Katonda yalagira
Musa azimbe weema ey'okusinzizangamu eyeetikkibwa ng'agikola "mu
ngeri y'ebyo bye yalagibwa ku lusozi" (Kuva 25:40). Oluvannyuma
lw'emyaka nga 500, Kabaka Sulemani yazimba endala ey'amayinja eyadda
mu kifo ky'eyo eyeetikkibwanga. Era yeekaalu eyo yazimbibwa ku pulaani
y'emu ng'eri eyeetikkibwanga.
Katonda
bwe yawa Musa ebiragiro eby'okuzimba yeekaalu kigendererwa ki eky'enjawulo
kye yalina mu birowoozo bye?
"Era
bankolere awatukuvu; NDYOKE NTUULE WAKATI WAABWE." - Kuva 25:8.
Ekibi
kyaleeta akwawuukana okubi wakati w'omuntu ne Katonda we. Yeekaalu oba
awatukuvu lye lyali ekkubo lya Katonda eryalaga engeri Katonda gye yali
ayinza okubeera mu ffe. Awatukuvu oba Yeekaalu nga bwe yatuumibwa oluvannyuma
yafuuka ekintu ekikulu eky'eddiini era nokusinga mu Ndagaano Enkadde.
Buli nkya era n'akawuungezi abantu baakung'ananga okwetooloola Yeekaalu
era ne baba n'enkolagana ne Katonda (Luke 1:9,10) nga bakaayanira ebisuubizo
bye ebigamba nti: "Eyo kwenaasisinkaniranga naawe" (Kuva 30:6).
Endagaano
enkadde eyigiriza enjiri y'emu ey'obulokozi n'eyo mu Ndagaano Empya.
Endagaano zombi ziraga Yesu ng'afa ku lwaffe era ng'aweereza nga Kabona
asinga obukulu mu Yeekaalu eyo mu ggulu.
3. OKUWEEREZA KWA YESU KU LWAFFE KWALAGIBWA MU YEEKAALU
Yeekaalu
awamu n'emikolo egy'okuweereza gyalaganga ku ekyo Yesu ky'akola mu kiseera
kino mu Yeekaalu ey'omu ggulu era ne ku ekyo ky'akola kaakano ku nsi
okutuwa omukisa era n'okutulung'amya buli kinnomu ku ffe mu bulamu bwaffe
obwa bulijjo.
Okuva
nga Yeekaalu eyo ku nsi bwe yakolebwa ng'egooberera ekifaananyi ekya
Yeekaalu eyo mu ggulu, ewa ekifaananyi ekya Yeekaalu eyo mu ggulu Kristo
gy'ali kati ng'aweereza. Okuva Essuula 25-40 zinnyonnyola okuweereza
awamu n'emikolo egyalinga mu Yeekaalu. Mu bufunze enzimba ya Yeekaalu
erabikako mu Ndagaano Empya bw'eti.
"Era
n'Endagaano eyasooka yalina amateeka agaagobererwanga mu kusinza Katonda
era yalina n'ekifo ekitukuvu ekyo ku nsi kuno
Kubanga waatekebwawo
weema. Mu kitundu (ekisenge) kyayo ekisookerwako mwalimu ekikondo ky'ettaala,
emmeeza n'emigaati egiweereddwayo eri Katonda. Ekitundu ekyo nga kiyitibwa
Ekifo Ekitukuvu. Emabega w'olutimbe olw'okubiri, we waali eweema eyitibwa
entukuvu ennyo. Mu yo mwalimu essanduuko ey'endagaano ebikkiddwako zaabu
enjuyi zona. Mu ssanduuko eyo mwalimu, ebipande eby'endagaano, (Katonda
kwe yawaandiika amateeka ekkumi. Ekyamateeka 10:1-5). Kungulu ku ssanduuko
kwaliko ba Kerubi abeekitiibwa basiikiriza entebe ey'okusaasira."
- Abebbulaniya 9:1-5.
Eweema
entukuvu oba Yeekaalu yalina ebisenge bibiri, Ekifo Ekitukuvu n'e kifo
ekisinga obutukuvu ennyo. Olujja lwali mu maaso ga Yeekaalu. Mu lujja
mwalimu ekyoto ekya ffeeza, bakabona kwe baaweerangayo zissaddaaka era
n'ekibya ky'amazzi mwe baanaabanga.
Ssaddaaka
ezaweebwangayo ku kyoto ekyo zaali ziranga Yesu oyo okuyita mu kufa
kwe ku musaalaba eyafuuka "omwana gw'endiga ogwa Katonda aggyawo
ebibi by'ensi." (Yokana 1:29). Omwonoonyi ayagala okwenenya bwe
yajjanga ku kyoto n'essaddaaka ye era n'ayatula ebibi bye, yafunanga
okusonnyiyibwa era n'okulongoosebwa. Mu ngeri y'emu mu kiseera kino
omwonoonyi afuna okusonyiyibwa n'okunaazibwa okuyita mu musaayi gwa
Yesu (1 Yokana 1:9).
Mu
kisenge ekisooka ekyo ekyayitibwanga Ekifo Ekitukuvu mwabangamu ettabaaza
ez'ebikondo musaanvu yayakanga butayosa, ng' eno yali etegeeza Yesu
omusana oba ekitangaala ky'ensi yonna ekitazikira (Yokana 8:12). Emmeeza
ey'emigaati egyawongebwanga eri Katonda kaali akabonero akaali kategeeza
omugaati ogw'obulamu bwa Kristo obukkusa enjala yaffe ey'Omwoyo (Yokana
6:35). Ekyoto ekya zaabu eky'obubaane, kyali kiraga okuweereza kwa Yesu
okw'okusaba kw'atusabira mu maaso ga Katonda (Kubikkulirwa 8:3,4).
Mu
kisenge eky'okubiri oba ekiyitibwa ekisinga obutukuvu mwalimu ssanduuko
eya zaabu ey'endagaano. Eno yali etegeeza entebe ya Katonda. Ekibikkako
kyayo eky'okutangirira oba ekifo eky'ekisa, kyali kitegeeza okutabaganya
kwa Kristo Kabona waffe asinga obukulu, ng'awoza ku lw'omuntu omwonoonyi
eyamenya amateeka ga Katonda. Ebipande ebibiri eby'amayinja Katonda
kwe yawandiika Amateeka ekkumi byakuumirwa nga wansi w'ekifo eky'ekisa.
Bamalayika aba zaabu ab'ekitiibwa baabikkanga ku kifo eky'ekisa buli
omu ng'ali ku nkomerero y'essanduuko. Omusana ogw'ekitiibwa gwayakanga
wakati wa ba Kerubi bano ababiri, akabonero akali kategeeza okuberawo
kwa Katonda yennyini.
Olutimbe
lwaziyizanga abantu abaali mu luggya obutalaba mu Kifo Ekitukuvu bakabona
gye bawererezanga. Olutimbe olw'okubiri mu maaso g'e kifo ekisinga obutukuvu
lwe lwaziyizanga bakabona abayingiranga mu kisenge ekisooka obutalaba
ebyo ebyali munda.
Yesu
bwe yafa ku musaalaba, kiki ekyali ku lutembe luno?
"Laba,
eggigi lya yeekaalu ne liyulikamu wabiri okuva waggulu okutuuka wansi."
- Mat 27:51.
Ekifo
ekisinga obutukuvu kyasigala mu bbanga Yesu bwe yafa. Nga Yesu amaze
okufa tewakyali lutimbe wakati wa Katonda Omutukuvu n'omukkiriza omwesigwa
kubanga Yesu Kabona waffe asinga obukulu atuyingiza mu maaso ga Katonda
(Abebbulaniya 10:19-22). Tutuuka butereevu mu maaso g'entebe eyo mu
ggulu, kubanga Yesu Kabona waffe asinga obukulu ali ku mukono gwa ddyo
ogwa Katonda. Yesu atusobozesa okujja mu maaso ga Katonda - mu mutima
gwa Kitaffe ow'okwagala. N'olwekyo, "Leka tusembere kumpi."
4. KUFA KWA KRISTO OKUTULOKOLA OKUBIKKULIBWA
Ng'ekifo
kya yeekalu eky'oku nsi bwe kyakolanga ekifaananyi ekyava mu Yeekalu
ey'omu gulu, Yesu mu kiseera kino gy'aweereza ku lwaffe, emikolo egyakolebwanga
mu Yeekalu ey'oku nsi gyali; ekifaananyi eky'ebyo ebikolebwa mu ggulu
(Abebbulaniya 8:5). Naye waliwo enjawulo nene: Bakabona abaaweerezanga
mu Yeekalu ey'oku nsi tebaasobolanga kusonnyiwa bantu kibi, naye ku
musaalaba gwa Yesu eyajja "ku nkomerero y'emirembe yalabika okuggyawo
ebibi olwokwewayo yennyini" (Abebbulaniya 9:26).
Ekitabo
ekya Abaleevi mu Ndagano Enkadde kinnyonnyola kalonda agenda ewala ku
mikolo egyakolebwanga mu Yeekaalu. Emikolo egy'omu Yeekaalu gyali gigabanyiziddwamu
mu bitundu bibiri: okuweereza okwa buli lunaku era n'emikolo egya buli
mwaka. (ZUULA owe No. 13 ajja kwogera ku mikolo egya buli mwaka.)
Mu
kuweereza okwa buli lunaku bakabona baawangayo Ssaddaaka olw'omuntu
omu era n'olw'abantu bonna ab'egwanga lyonna. Omuntu bwe yayonoonanga,
yaleetanga, ensolo eteriiko bulema "ng'ekiweebwayo olw'ekibi"
yateekanga emikono gye ku mutwe gw'ekiweebwayo eky'ekibi era n'agittira
mu kifo ky'ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa (Baleevi 4:29). Omusango gw'omwonoonyi
guteekwa okukyusibwa okumuvaako ne ggudda ku nsolo eterina musango olw'okwatulirwako
ekibi era n'okugiteekako emikono. Kano kaali akabonero aka Kristo okwetikka
omusango gwaffe ku musaalaba, "Ye ataalina kibi yafuuka ekibi ku
lwaffe" (2 Bakoliso 5:21). Ssaddaaka ey'ensolo yali eteekwa okuttibwa
era n'omusayi gwayo ne guyiika kubanga yali eranga ku kiseera eky'omu
maaso ku kibonerezo ekikulu Yesu kye yabonaabona ku musaalaba.
5.
LWAKI OMUSAYI GWAYIIKA?
"Era
awatali kuyiwa musaayi, tewabaawo kusonyiyibwa" (Abebbulaniya 9:22).
Kiki ekyalingawo mu Ndagaano Enkadde mu Yeekaalu ekyalaganga mu kiseera
eky'omu maaso ku kikolwa ekimu ekikulu eky'obulokozi ekya Kristo? Ng'amaze
okufa olw'ebibi byaffe yayingira mu kifo ekitukuvu "n'ayingirira
ddala omulundi gumu mu kifo ekitukuvu n'omusaayi gwe gwennyini. ng'amaze
okutufunira okununulibwa okutaggwaawo" (Olunyiriri olwe 12). Omusaayi
gwa Yesu bwe gwayiika ku musaalaba olw'ebibi byaffe "olutiimbe
olwo mu Yeekaalu (mu Yerusaalemi) ne luyulikamu wabiri okuva wagulu
okutuuka wansi" (Matayo 27:51). Kubanga olwa Ssaddaaka ya Yesu
ku musaalaba, Ssaddaaka ez'ensolo zaali tezikyetaagibwa.
Omusaayi
gwa Yesu bwe gwayiibwa ku musaalaba yali awaayo obuwulize bwe obw'obulamu
bwe obutuukiridde nga budda mu kifo eky'obulamu bwaffe obwalemwa. Omwana
ne Kitawe bwe baali baawuukana ku musaalaba, Kitawe w'Omwana yagenda
n'obulumi era n'Omwana n'afa omutima gwe ne gwabika. Katonda omwana
kennyini yakka mu byafaayo by'omuntu okwetikka ebyo ebyava mu kibi era
n'okulaga mu mazima ekibi bwe kifaanana. Yali asobola okusonyiwa aboonoonyi
awatali kukendeza buzito bwa kibi. Kristo "yaleeta emirembe okuyita
mu kufa kwe ku musaalaba" (Bakolosayi 1:20).
6. OKUBIKKULIRWA KWA YESU OKUBEERA OMULAMU OKUTULOKOLA
Mulimu
ki ogwa Yesu ogwa buli lunaku mu Yeekaalu y'omu ggulu?
"Kyava
ayingiza bulijjo okulokola abo abajja eri Katonda nga bayita mu ye,
KUBANGA ABEERA MULAMU ENNAKU ZONNA okubawolerezanga." - Abebbulaniya
7:25.
Yesu
kaakati "mulamu" okuwaayo omusaayi gwe, Ssaddaaka ye, ku lwaffe.
Mu kiseera kino akola n'obwegendereza obw'ekitalo okulokola buli muntu
yenna okuva mu mutawaana ogw'ekibi. Nga bali mu nsobi, abantu abamu
balowooza nti omutabaganya waffe, Yesu mu ggulu yeegayirira Katonda
Kitaffe atayagala kutusonyiwa. Naye mu butuufu Katonda mu busanyufu
bwe akkiriza ssaddaaka y'omwana we ku lwaffe.
Nga
Kabona waffe asinga obukulu mu ggulu, Kristo mu kiseera kyekimu yeegayirira
olulyo lw'omuntu. Akola okuyamba bannanfuusi okufuna omukisa ogw'okubiri
ogw'ekisa era n'okuyamba aboonoonyi okufuna essuubi mu mawulire amalungi
(Enjiri) era ayamba abakkiriza okuzuula obugagga obusingako obungi mu
Kigambo kya Katonda era n'okufuna amaanyi amangi mu kusaba. Yesu alongoosa
empisa zaffe zibe nga zikkiriziganya n'Amateeka ga Katonda, era atuyamba
n'okubeera n'empisa ezo ezijja okugumira ekiseera eky'okugezesebwa.
Katonda
yawaayo obulamu bwe ku lwa buli muntu eyali abaddeko ku nsi kuno. Era
kaakati, nga Kabona asinga obukulu oba "bulijjo ng'omutabaganya,
mulamu" okukulembera abantu okukkiriza okufa kwe okw'ebibi byabwe.
Newankubadde nga ku musaalaba yatabaganya olulyo lw'omuntu lwonna olwagwa
naye kennyini, naye tasobola kutusonyi okuggyako nga tukkiriza ekisa
kye. Abantu tebagenda kuzikirira kubanga baali boonoonyi, naye balizikirira
olw'okubanga baagaana okukkiriza okusonyiyibwa Yesu kw'atuwa.
Ekibi
kyazikiriza oluganda olw'okwagala Adamu ne Kaawa omulundi ogumu kwe
baalina ne Katonda. Naye Yesu, ng'endiga ya Katonda, yafa okuwa eddembe
olulyo lw'omuntu okuva mu kibi era n'okuzzaawo omukwano guno ogwafa.
Omaze okumuzuula nga Kabona wo asinga obukulu, oyo abeera omulamu bulijjo
okukuuma enkolagana yo ne Katonda wo ey'okumpi era ennamu?
Okufa
kwa Kristo nga ssaddaaka kwa njawulo nnyo. Okuweereza okw'omu ggulu
okwa Kristo tekulina kw'okugerageranyiza. Ekintu kimu Kristo aleeta
Katonda kumpi naffe. Ekirala Kristo asobozesa Omwoyo wa Katonda okutuula
mu mitima gyaffe. Yeejjako ebibye byonna alyoke atujjuze ffe. Yeetaaga
okuva gyetuli, okwewayo kwe kumu ng'okukwe. Leka naffe tumukkirize bulambalamba
ng'omulokozi waffe era nga Mukama ow'obulamu bwaffe.
