N’olwekyo buli muntu alina okuzaalibwa nate (okulokoka). Tulina okulokoka, tuvve ku kubyonoono bye tubadde tukola tufuuka abatuukirivu; olwo naffe lwe tujja okusobola okuyingira mu bwakabaka obwomuggulu. Okuggyako ng’omuntu azaaliddwa omulundi agwokubiri tasobola kuyingiria mu bwakabaka bw’omuggulu. Bayibuli egamba nti,”Ddala ddala nkugamba nti omuntu bw’atazaalibwa mazzi na Mwoyo, tayinza kuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.” (Yokaana 3:5). “Okuzaalibwa mu mazzi n’omwoyo” y’engeri yokka gye tuyinza okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.

‘Amazzi’ agoogerwaako ‘n’Omwoyo’ ayogeerwako mu Baibuli by’ebitusobozesa okulokoka? Yee. Amazzi mu baibuli ‘kwe kubatiza kwa Yesu.’

Lwaki Yesu Katonda mweene, yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza? Olowooza yali ayagala kulaga bugoonvu bwe? Olowooza yali ayagala kulangirira nti y’oyo affukkiddwaako amafuta? Nedda.

Yesu bwe yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza, bwe ‘yamuteekako emikono’ (eby’abaleevi 16:21), kino kyali ‘kikolwa kya muntu omu eky’obutuukirivu’ (Abaruumi 5:18), ekya ggyawo ebibi by’abantu bonna.

Mu ndagaano enkadde, Katonda yawa Isiraeri eteeka ery’obununuzi ery’ekisa. Eteeka lino lyalabisibwanga ku lunaku olw’okutangirira. Ku lunaku luno, ebibi by’abaana ba Isiraeri byonna eby’omwaka byatangirirwa. Alooni, kabona omukulu, yateekanga emikono gye ku mutwe gwe mbuzi ennume. Ebibi by’abaana ba Isiraeri byonna byateekebwanga ku mbuzi eyo.

okutangirira okw’olubeerera okugenda okugya. Bitulaga amazima gano: nti ebibi by’abantu fenna biriteekebwa ku Yesu omulundi gumu. Yesu yaggya kuno ku nsi ng’omuntu, kubanga kuno kwali kwagala kwa Katonda. Yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza (yokaana yali asibuka mu lulyo lwa Alooni, kabona omukulu eyasooka mu ndagaano enkadde), era Yokaana yakiikirira abantu fenna.

Yesu bwe yali abatizibwa, yagamba Yokaana nti, “kkiriza kaakano; kubanga kitugwanira bwe tutyo okutuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna” (Matayo 3:15).

Wano amakulu ‘g’okuteekako emikono g’ogerwako.’ Yokaana yali alina okuteeka emikono gye ku Yesu. Mu kikolwa kino (eky’okumuteekako emikono ng’abatizibwa) Yesu yeetikka ekibi ky’ensi yonna asobole okutuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna kulwaffe abantu. Ekigabo ‘obutuukirivu’ mu luyonaani

kye kigambo ‘dikaiosune’ amakulu gakyo ge gano; “okubeera omwenkanya mu mbala oba mu bikolwa. Okubeera mu mbeera (okubeera n’embala) esibuka mu kusanyizibwa.”

Yesu yatuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna kulw’abantu bonna okuyita mu kubatiza kwe era kino yakikola mu ngeri (enkola) entuufu, esaanidde. Yesu ng’amaze okwetikka ebibi by’abantu bonna okuyita mu kubatiza kwe, Yokaana omubatiza yamusisinkana enkeera era bwati bwe yajulira ku bulamu bwe, “Laba! Omwana gw’endiga owa Katonda aggyawo ebibi by’ensi!” (Yokaana 1:29).

Yesu yetikka ebibi by’abantu bonna nayolekera omusalaba. Kumusalaba yatwala omusango gw’ebibi byaffe bye yali yeetisse ng’amaze okubatizibwa. Yaffa kumusalaba nagamba nti “kiwedde” (Yokaana 19:30). Yeyikka ebibi byonna n’atwala omusango omujjuvu ku lwaffe.

Amazzi (oba Okubatiza kwa Yesu) kye kifaananyi ky’obulokozi.

N’olwekyo, ‘awatali kukkiriza mu kubatiza

kwa Yesu’ tetuyinza kulokoka. Eyo y’ensonga lwaki omutume Peteero yagamba nti amazzi (okubatiza kwa Yesu) “kye kifaananyi eky’amazima” (1 Peetero 3:21) ekitulokola.

Ennaku zino, abantu abasinga abakkiriza mu Yesu Kristo tebakkiriza mu kubatiza kwe ‘okw’amazzi’ wabula bakkiriza mu kufa kwe kumusalaba. Owoluganda osuubira okukkiriza kuno kuyinza okulokola abonoonyi? Olowooza nti obununuzi bwaffe okuva mu kibitubufuna, kubanga tukkiriza mu musaayi gwa Yesu gwokka? Nedda, obununuzi bwaffe tebuva mukukkiriza mu kuffa kwa Yesu (kumusalaba) kwokka.

Mu ndagaano enkadde, abaana ba Isiraeri bwe bawangayo ssaddaakka ey’okutangirira, bali

balina okugiteekako emikono ne baatulirako ebibi. Kyali kyamuzizo okutta omutango nga ebibi tebinayatulibwako (ku mutwe gw’omutango). Mu ngeri y’emu mu ndagaano empya, si kituufu era kyamuzizo okukkiriza mu kufa (musalaba) kwa Yesu Kristo nga tokkiriza mu kubatiza kwe.

N’olwekyo, omutume Peetero kyava agamba 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” (1 Peetero 3:21).

Nga abantu bo mundaagano enkadde abatakkiriza mu bubaka bwa Nuuwa (obw’okwewala amataba) bwe baali, n’abo bwe bali abagaana okukkiriza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu, bajja kusaynizibwawo.

obulokozi kwe kukkiriza mu Yesu Kristo, “eyajja n’amazzi n’omusaayi…” (1 Yokaana 5:6). Kitugwanira fenna okukkiriza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu n’okuffa kwe kumusalaba.

Omutume Yokaana yawandiika n’agamba nti okukkiriza okutuufu kwe kukkiriza mu “bujjulizi obw’omwoyo, amazzi, n’omusaayi.” (1 Yokaana 5:8).

Okukkiriza okutuufu kwe kuno; Yesu y’ennyini ye Katonda eyajja mu mubiri kubbw’omwoyo omutukuvu okuyita mu muwala atamanyi musajja Maliyamu. Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byonna eby’ensi bwe yabatizibwa (Yokaana omubatiza, eyakiikirira abantu fenna) mu mugga Yoludaani. Yesu yaffa kumusalaba nga yeetisse ebibi by’ensi yonna era yeetikka omusango gw’ebibi byaffe fenna.

Kulwensonga eyo, awatali kubatiza kwa Yesu, enjiri entuufu teyinza kutuukirira era ne bwe tukkiriza mu Yesu, tetuyinza kusikira bulokozi

bwe tugaana okukkiriza mu njiri eno.

Eby’afaayo by’ekkanisa ya Kristo n’engeri enjiri gye yawaba.

Lwaki enjiri y’amazzi n’omwoyo

tekyabuulirwa? Lwaki enjiri enkyamu yebuulirwa mu nsi yonna ennaku zino?

Yesu bwe yazuukira mu baffu n’agenda mu ggulu, abatume baabuuliranga enjiri eno ey’amazzi n’omwoyo. Bwe tusoma mu mu byawandiikibwa tumanya nti abatume (nga Paulo, Peetero, Yokaana) si be bantu bokka abaali babuulira enjiri y’amazzi n’omwoyo. Abo ab’ekkanisa eyasooka nabo baali babuulira enjiri eno.

Naye omulabe setaani yateekateeka enkola enkyamu, asobole okuggyawo obulamu mu Kkanisa. Mu mwaka gwa 313 AD (oluvanyuma

Mu teeka lino, omuntu yenna eyayiingiranga mu (eyegattanga ku) Kkanisa yalina okubatizibwa. Etteeka lino lya yisibwa abaruumi, kubanga baali b’agala okukuuma amatwaale gaabwe. Eno y’emu ku ngeri amatwale (g’abaruumi) gye gaali gasobola okufugibwa mu bumu n’eddembe. Kale no obufuzzi bwayiingirira eddembe ly’obukristaayo.

Mu mbeera eno ekkanisa ekkanisa mwe yali, mwe twafunira enzikkiriza Y’eniike era ye yasomesebwanga. N’olwekyo, enjiri eri kumulamwa (nga bwe wandiikidwa mu baibuli) – enjiri ey’amazzi n’omwoyo - etuwa ‘amaanyi omwoyo omutukuvu n’obuvvumu obungi’ (1 Abesesalonika 1:5) yakyusibwa ffe netufuna enkyamu. Kino omulabe setaani kye yali ateeseteese, kubanga tewali yali ayinza

kuzaalibwa mulundi gwa kubiri nakulakulana. Okumala emyaka lukumi n’omusobyo

ng’etteeka lino elye’Milan liyisibwa, ekkanisa mubulaaya yayita mu biseera ebizibu. Newankubadde enzikkiriza empya zali zitandikidwawo mu nsi z’ebulaaya (nga abantu babagamba okukomawo ku Kigambo eky’ekisa n’okukkiriza), tewaaliyo kukkiriza kwonna okwali kusomesa ku njiri y’okubatiza n’omusaayi gwa Yesu.

Enjiri eno ey’amazima yakuumibwa nga nnamu okuva kumulemba gw’abatume. Ng’omwala gw’amazzi agakulukuta bwe gubula ate oluvanyuma lw’ekiseera neguzuulibwa nate kukaserengeto, n’enjiri eno ey’amazzi n’omusaayi bweri. Ezuuliddwa nate era kitugwanira okugilangirira mu nsi yonna.

Tutambula mu nsi eno era tuli mu biseera

Abakuggu mu bya sayansi baasobola okutonda embuzzi (emanyiddwa nga “Dolly”) mu magezi gabwe (nga baziyiza enkola katonda gye yateekawo ku lubereberye ey’okuzaala n’okwaala)! Oluvanyuma lw’obuwanguzi buno abantu nabo basuubibira okukkiriza amagazi gano (nabo bafunenga abanu banabwe abatazaalidwa).

Mu nsi yaffe eyaleero twezimbidde ekiggo (ekifaananako ng;ekya Baberi).

Abantu balowooza nti balina “obulungi” mu mitima gyabwe era nti n’obusobozi obukola obulungi babulina. Abo abaludde mu diini yabwe na ddala abo abafubye ennyo mu buwereza balowooza nti basobola okukola buli kimu mu maaso ga Katonda.

Omuntu bwa beera ne Yesu naye n’atamweyabiza, n’atamweewa kiba tekigasa. Omuntu bwatyo abeera agezaako nga bwasobola okukola ebikolwa ebilungi mu maaso ga Katonda, wabula gye yeyongera okugezaako, gye yeyongera okukola ekibi.

Katonda yasoka kutuwa butuukirivu obw’okukiriza, n’alyoka atuwa amateeka

Kiki ku bino ekitwanguyira okugoberera, okukiriza oba amateeka?

Okukkiriza.

Omutume Paulo atuyigiriza nti ku lubereberye, Katonda yatuwa obutuukirivu obw’okukkiriza. Obutukirivu buno, yabuwa Adamu ne Kaawa, Kayini ne Aberi, Seezi ne Enoka, Nuwa, Ibulayimu, Isaaka, Yakobo ne batabani be ekumi n’ababiri. Awataali mateeka, abantu bano, baafuuka batuukirivu mu maaso ga Katonda. Obutuukirivu bwabwe bwava mu kukkiriza kigambo kya Katonda. Baweebwa omukisa era baweebwa n’ekiwumulo okuyita mu kukkiriza ekigambo kya Katonda.

Oluvanyuma, wayita ekiseera kya myaka (400) bina, abantu ba Isirayiri (ab’olulyo lwa Yakobo) baali baddu mu nsi y’emisiri ey’obuwaŋŋanguse. Katonda mwene yabajjayo, n’abaluŋamya ngayita mu Musa n’abatwala mu nsi Ye Kanani. Wabula, mu myaka egyo ebina (400) gye bamala mu buwaŋŋanguse, bali berabidde buli ekikwata ku butuukirivu obw’okukiriza (obufunibwa olw’okukkiriza).

Olwo nno Katonda, okuyita mu byamagero, yasobola okusomosa abaisirairi ku nyanja emyufu, n’abakulembera mu ddungu. Bwe batuuka mu ddungu ly’ekibi, Katonda n’abawa amateeka ekumi n’enono endala 613 ez’amateeka agenjawulo. Katonda yabagamba nti, “nze mukama Katonda wo, Katonda wa Ibulayimu, Katonda wa Isaaka, Katonda wa Yakobo. Musa anayambuka waggulu w’olusozi Sinayi era naabawa amateeka.

Katonda yabawa amateka “gabamanyise

ekibi” (Abaruumi 3:20). Amateeka gabaweebwa okulaga Katonda kye yagala n’ekyo kya’tyagala;era gaweebwa okulaga obutuukirivu n’obutukuvu bwa Katonda.

Abaisirairi bonna abaali mu buddu e’Mmisiri okumala emyaka 400 basomoka enyanja emyufu. “bali tebalabanga ku Katonda wa Ibulayimu; n’owa Isaaka, n’owa Yakobo. Bali tebamumanyi. Baali baddu okumala emyaka 400 era baali beerabidde obutuukirivu bwa Katonda mu biseera ebyo; Tebaalina mukulembeze. Yakobo ne Yozefu be baali abakulembeze baabwe, naye baali baffadda. Kirabika Yosefu yalemelerwa okuyigiriza batabani be, Manaase ne Efulaimu, obutuukirivu obw’okukkiriza bwe yali amanyi.

N’olwekyo Abaisirairi balina okumanya Katonda natte, kubanga bali berabidde obutuukirivu bwe. Tulina okumanya nti Katonda yabawa obutuukirivu olw’okukkiriza, n’alyoka abawa amateeka. Amateeka yagabawa nga

Eky’okubiri; yali ayagala abantu bamanye nti bonoonyi mu maasoge (Katonda) mukumanya ezo ensonga ebiri, Katonda yayagala abantu badde gyali banunulibwe okuyita mu ssadaaka gye yabawa. Nabafuula abantu be.

Abaisirairi banunulibwa okuyita mu nkola ya ssadaaka ey’amateeka nga bakkiriza mu oyo eyali agenda okugya. Naye enkola eno eya ssadaaka (okwewaayo) yagenda evaawo. Katumanye ddi kino lwe kyabaawo.

Mu Lukka 10:25, mulimu munamateeka eyali akema Yesu. Munamateeka ono yali Mufalisaayo.

Naye abantu ablowooza bati tebamanyidde ddala mateeka kyegategeeza. Bagezaako okutambulira mu bbaluwa y’amateeka naye nga tebamanyi kubikkulirwa kwa bwa Katonda okuli mu mateeka.

N’olwekyo tuyinza okugamba nti tewaali bannabbi, n’abaweereza ba Katonda mu Isirairi okumala emyaka 400 nga Yesu Kristo tanaba kujja. Olw’embeera eno, abaisirairi bali nga endiga ezitalina musumba.

Bali tebalina na mateeka newankubadde omukulembeze. Katonda teyeebukulira (teyalabika) eri abafalisaayo bannanfuusi ab’omukiseera ekyo. Eggwanga lya Isirairi lyali ttwale lye’Ruumi.

N’olwekyo Yesu yagamba Abaisirairi abamugoberera mu ddungu nti, talibagoba nga balumwa enjala n’enyonta. Abantu bamukwasa ekisa mu kiseera ekyo, kubanga bali nga endiga ezitalina musumba.

Banamateeka wamu n’abantu abali mu bifo eby’obukulembeze bali balina emikisa egy’enjawulo. Abafalisaayo bali Bantu bamalala. Omunamateeka ono mu Lukka 10:25 yabuuza Yesu nti, “nkole ntya okusikira obulamu obutagwaawo?” Yali alowooza nti tewaali muntu amusinga bulungi mu Bantu ba Isirairi.

Ng’abantu abasinga bwe bakola, ennaku zino, munamateeka yalowooza nti Katonda yamuwa amateeka asobole okugakuuma. Naye Yesu

Amateeka tegaalina kikyaamu. Katonda yatuwa amateeka agatuukiridde.

Kiki ekifuula abantu okuba no bubi mu bulamu bw’okukiriza?

Ekibi.

“…waliwo omuntu eyali ava e Yerusalemi

ng’aserengeta e Yerliko; n’agwa mu batemu, ne bamwambula, ne bamukuba emiggo, nebagenda, ne bamuleka ng’abulako katono okufa” (Lukka 10:30). Yesu yagerera munamatteka ono olugero luno asobole okumutegeeza amazima mu bulamu bwe bwonna nti yabonabonanga ng’ono omusajja eya kubibwa ababbi ng’abulako katono okufa.

Omusajja yaserengeta okuva e Yerusalemi

ng’agenda e Yeriko, Yeriko etulaga ensi, ate Yerusalemi kifanaanyi kyensi y’eddiini, ensi ey’okulumizibwa erimu abenyumiriza mu mateeka. Mulugero muno, tuyiga nti bwetukkiriza mu Yesu mu ngeri y’obwanaddinni, tubonabona.

“Waliwo omuntu eyali era e Yerusalemi nga aserengeta e Yeriko, n’agwa mu batemu, ne bamwambula, ne bamukuba emiggo, ne bagenda ne bamuleka ng’abulakko katono okufa.” Yerusalemi kyali kibuga kinene n’abantu bangi. Mu kibuga omwo, mwalimu kabona omukulu, ne bakabona abalala bangi, abaleevi era n’abantu ab’eddinii abassibwangamu ekitiibwa. Waliwo bangi abali bamanyi amateeka obulungi. Waliwo ate nabo abali bagezaako okutambulira mu mateeka naye nga balemererwa (nga baserengeta e Yeriko). Nga tebasobola kwewala babbi.

Omutume Paulo yagamba mu Baruumi nti, “kubanga kye njagala ekilungi sikikola naye kye sagala ekibi kyenkola. Naye obanga kyesagala kyenkola, si nze nkikola nate, wabula ekibi ekituula munze” (Abaruumi 7:19-20).

Singa nali nsobola okukola obulungi! Naye mu mutima gw’omuntu mulimu ebirowoozo ebibi, obwenzi, obukaba, obussi, okubba, okwegomba okubi, obulimba obukuusa, obuluvu, eriso ebbi obuvoozi, amalala n’obusiru (Makko 7:21-23).

Kubanga ebintu binno biri mu mitima gyaffe era bigya emirundi egisinga. Tukola bye tutayagala kukola ate ne tutakola bye tulina okukola. Ekibi tweyongera okukikola, kubanga kijjudde mu mitima gyaffe. Omulabe sitani kyakola ye kwe kutuwa enkwaso entono mu

Kyawandiikibwa mu Makko 7 nti, “ekintu

Tetutera okutta abaana baffe n’ebigamo bye twogera gye bali nga tetusoose kubirowoozako ebyo bye twogera.

atayononangako asooke okumukuba ejjinja” n’akutama nate n’awandiika ku ttaka. Abakulu ne batandiika okuva mu maaso ge. Ebibi byali bingi n’okulumizibwa nakwo kwali kungi. N’olwekyo be basooka okuvaawo. N’abato nabo bavaawo. Kandete eky’okulabirako kino: Singa Yesu yali ayimiridde mu ffe, era nga naffe tuyimiridde nga twetoolodde omukazi omwenzi, singa Yesu atugamba nti, “mu mmwe, atayonoonanga asooke okumukuba ejjinja”. Kiki kyewandikoze ggwe?

Yesu yali awandiika ki ku ttaka? Katonda eyatutonda awandiika ebibi byaffe mu bifo bibiri. Ekifo ekisooka, gy’emitima gyaffe. “ekibi kya Yuda kyawandiikibwa ne kalamu ey’ekyuuma n’ejjinja ery’alimasi essongovu. Kyayolekebwa ku kipande eky’omu mitima gyabwe, ne ku mayembe g’ebyoto byammwe;” (Yeremiya 17:1).

Katonda ayogera naffe, ng’ayita mu Yuda omukiise waffe. Ebibi byaffe abantu biwandiikidwa n’ekalamu ey’ekyuma, n’ejjinja ery’alimasi essongovu. Ebibi biwandikiidwa ku bipande by’emitima gyaffe. Yesu yakutama wansi n’awandiika ku ttaka nti abantu ffena tuli bonoonyi. Katonda amanyi nti twonona era ebibi abiwandiika ku bipande by’emitima gyaffe.

Yesu yakutama wansi omulundi ogw’okubiri n’awandiika ku ttaka. Kyawandiikibwa nti ebibi byaffe byonna byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’ebikolwa ebiri mu maaso ga Katonda (Okubikulirwa 20:12). Buli mwonoonyi n’ekibi ky’akoze oba kye yakola, awandikiiddwa mu kitabo. Ebibi nabyo, biwandiikiddwa ku buli kipande ky’omutima gw’omuntu. Ebibi byaffe, biwandiikidwa, mu kitabo eky’ebikolwa era ne ku bipande by’emitima gyaffe.

Ebibi biwandiikibwa ku kipande ky’omutima gwa buli muntu: eno y’ensonga lwaki abaali bategese okukuba omukazi amayinja baali tebalina kya kwogerako ku kibi mu bbo. Ebigambo bya Yesu byabikula amaaso gaabwe okulaba ekibi ekyali ku bipande by’emitima gyabwe.

Kakano ebibi byaffe bisangulibwa ddi?

Naye bwe bakkiriza enjiri ey’okununulibwa okw’amazzi n’omwoyo mu mitima gyabwe, ebibi byonna ebiwandiikidwa ku bipande by’emitima gyabwe ne mu bitabo by’ebikolwa byabwe, bisangulibwa era ne banunulibwa ne bava mu bibi byabwe byonna.

Ffe abantu fenna twali tulina okufuna atukiikirira eyali alina okuteeka emikono ku Yesu okumusaako ebibi by’ensi yonna. Eyatukiiririra yali Yokaana omubatiza eyali Kabona omukulu asembayo.

Kale nno, Katonda mu magezi ge amangi yalonda Yokaana omubatiza akiikirire ffe abantu era ebibi byaffe byassibwa ku Yesu omulundi gumu. Mu Matayo 3:13 kyawandikibwa nti, “Awo Yesu nava e Galiraya, n’atukka ku Yoludani eri Yokaana omubaiza” Yesu kw’olwo yalina emyaka asaatu. Yesu yali yakomolwa nga yakamala ennaku munana ku nsi. Ebisinga ku Yesu byamanyibwa nga awezezza

emyaka asatu. Ensonga lwaki Yesu yalinda okutusa

ng’awezezza emyaka asaatu, yali enno: mu biseera by’endagano enkadde, Kabona omukulu yali alina okuwezza emyaka asaatu egy’obukulu nga tanaba kuweereza. Lino etteeka Katonda yaliwa Musa. (Mukyamateeka 2) Kale nno Yesu, nga Kabona omukulu owo mu ggulu, yali alina okusooka okuwezza emyaka asatu. Kino obadde okimanyi era okikkiriza ow’oluganda?

Mu ndagano empya, mu Mataayo 3:13-14, tusoma nti, “Awo Yesu n’ava e Galiraya n’atuka eri Yokaana, amubatize. Naye Yokaana yali ayagala okumugana ng’agamba nti nze nneetaaga gwe okumbatiza, nawe ojja gy’endi?” Omukiise w’abantu y’ani? Yokaana omubatiza. Naye ani mukiise w’eggulu? Ye Yesu Kristo.

“N’alyoka amukkiriza. Awo bwe yamala okubatizibwa, amangu ago nava mu mazzi, laba eggulu ne limubikulira n’alaba Omwoyo wa Katonda ng’aka ng’ejjuba najja ku ye.

“Okuva ku biro bya Yokaana omubatiza,

Yesu yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza n’ajjawo ebibi byaffe byonna. Oluvanyuma yagamba omukazi eyali akwatibwa mu kikola eky’obwenzi nti, “nange sisala kukusinga.” Omukazi ono teyamusalira musango, kubanga yatwala ebibi by’ensi yonna bweyabatizibwa mu mugga Yoludani, era Yesu y’enyini ye yatwala omusango gw’ebibi by’omukazi ono.

Yesu yajjawo ebibi by’ensi yonna. Tusoma mu Baibuli nti Yesu yali atya obulumi bwe yalina okuyitamu nga yeetikka ebibi byaffe ku musalaba. Kubanga “empera y’ekibi kufa.” Yasaba Katonda ku lusozi emirundi esatu. Yasaba Katonda amujjeko ekikompe. Yesu yali nga omu kuffe era okuffa kumusalaba tekyamwanguyira. Naye yali alina okufa asobole okutuukiriza omusango.

Nga ssadaaka ez’ekibi, mu ndagano enkadde bwe zaali, nga zzirina okutiriisa omusaayi ebibi bilyoke bitangirirwe. So no ne Yesu yali alina okuyita mu kufa okufanana bwekutyo ku

Yesu teyalina kibi kyonna mu mutima gwe, naye ebibi by’ensi byonna byamuteekebwako okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwe. Katonda mwene ye yalina okusalira omwana we omusango. Tusanye tumanye ensonga zino. Esooka: obwenkanya bwa Katonda. Ey’okubiri: Katonda yatutonera okwagala kwe tulyoke tulokoke. N’olwekyo, Yesu yali alina okufa kumusalaba.

Yesu yagamba nti, “nange sisala kukusinga, sikusalira musango.” Katonda yalina okubilamula ebibi byaffe bye tugenderedde okukola ne bye tutagenderedde, bye tumanyi n’ebyo bye tutamanyi.

Katonda ye yatusalira omusango. Omusango yagusalira Yesu eyatwala ebibi byaffe byonna okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwe. Katonda abonoonyi

Bwe tutyo bwe tumanya okwagala kwe. Yesu bwe bamuleetera omukazi omwenzi, teyamusalira musango.

Omukazi ye yamanya nti mwononyi, kubanga yakwatibwa mu bwenzi. Teyayonoona mu mutima gwokka wabula ne mu bikolwa. Yali tayinza kwegana kibi kye wabula yakkiriza nti Yesu yatwala ebibi bye byonna n’alokoka. Bwe tukkiriza mu kununulibwa kwa Yesu, tulokolebwa. Kkiriza ow’oluganda, kiyamba ggwe.

Abantu bonna bonoona. Abantu bonna benda, naye abantu bonna tebanaba kusalirwa musango olw’ebibi byabwe. Ffena tuli bonoonyi, naye abo abakkiriza mu kununulibwa kwa Yesu Kristo, tebalina kibi mu mitima gyabwe. Omuntu akkiriza mu bulokozi bwa Yesu abeera n’essanyu lingi. Abo abaanunulibwa okuva mu bibi byabwe be basinga okubeera ab’omukisa. Babeera batuukirivu mu Yesu Kristo.

Ekigambo “okubatiza” mu Luyonani “baptizo”

kitegeza “okunnyikka” oba “okunazibwa”, “okuziikibwa” oba “okubbira.”Ku lunaku Yesu lwe yabatizibwa, obutukirivu bwa Katonda bwatuukirizibwa. “Obutuukirivu,” oba “dikaiosune” mu Luyonani (ekitegeeza okubeera “omwenkanya”) oba era “ekintu ekisinga obutuufu”, “ekisiinga obusanyizi oba embeera.”

Kale nno, Yesu yabatizibwa asobole okufuuka omulokozi mu mbeera esinga obutuufu era esaanidde. N’olwekyo abo abakkiriza mu

kyali kituufu Yesu atuukirize obutukirivu bwonna obwa Katonda. Kale nno, Yesu yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza, asobole ye okulokola abantu okuva mu bibi byabwe (Matayo 3:15).

Lwaki Yokaana omubatiza yabatiza Yesu? Yabatiza Yesu, kubanga Yesu ye yali asobola okujjawo ebibi by’ensi. Yokaana yali muwereza wa Katonda; era omugaso gwe omukulu gw’ali gwa kuyisa bibi bya nsi yonna, abiteeke ku Yesu okuyita mu kubatizibwa kwe. Era n’okubeera omujjulirwa eri Yesu, nti abantu yababuulira enjiri ey’okwenenya ebibi n’okukkiriza mu bununuzi bwe. N’olwekyo Yokaana yali alina okubeera yekka mu ddungu. Mu kiseera kya Yokaana omubatiza, abantu ba Isirairi baali bononyi ddala.

Katonda kyava agamba mu ndagano enkadde nti, “laba ndibatumira Eriya nnabbi olunaku olukulu olw’entiisa olwa Mukama nga telunnaba kutuuka. Era alikyuusa omutima gwa bakitaabwe

eri abaana n’omutima gw’abaana eri bakitaabwe; nneme okujja n’enkuba ensi n’ekikolimo” (Malaki 4:5-6).

Mu maaso ga Katonda, abantu bonna abali basinga yakuwa Katonda bali bonoonefu. Tewali n’omu mu bbo, yali mutuukirivu mu maaso ga Yakuwa. Eky’okulabirako; banaddinii abo mu yekaalu, bakabona, banamateeka n’abawandiisi bali bonoonefu ddala. Abantu ba Isirairi ne bakabona babwe tebawangayo ssaddaaka ezaali zisaniide ng’amateeka ga Katonda bwe gaali gannyonyodde. Bakabona nabo baali tebakyateekako mikono era n’ennono ey’okuwangayo ssaddaaka ey’okujjawo era okusonyiyibwa ebibi bakabona bali tebakyagikuuma. Buno bwe bwali obumu ku bubonero; abantu bali bavudde ku Katonda. Kyawandikibwa nti mu biseera bya Malaki, bakabona baali tebakyakuuma nnono z’amateeka ezali z’etaagisa mu kuwaayo ssaddaaka, ne mu

kuteekangako emikono ku mutango. N’olwekyo Yokaana bwe yatumibwa kuno kunsi, yali tasobola kubeera nabo. Ye yagenda mu ddungu n’ayogera n’ayasanguza ekigambo kya Katonda. Kiki kye yayogera? Mu Makko 1:2-3 yayogera ebigambo bya nnabbi Isaaya ng’agamba nti, “laba nze ntuma omubaka wange mu maaso go alirongoosa oluguudo lwo; eddoboozi lye ayogerera wagulu mu ddungu nti, mulongose oluguudo lwa Mukama muluŋŋamye amukubo ge.”

Eddoboozi ly’oyo mu ddungu lyayogerera waggulu nga likutira abantu okwenenya bakkirize okubatizibwa okw’okwenenya. Kuno “okubatizibwa kw’okwenenya” kwe kuliwa mu Baibuli kwe yayogera ko? Kwe kubatiza Yokaana omubatiza kwe yali alangirira bwe yayogereranga waggulu. Okubatizibwa kuno kwali kwa kukuutira bantu kukomawo eri Yesu balyoke bamukkirize, kubanga ye yali ayinza okujjawo ebibi byabwe byonna nabo balokoke.

Okubatizibwa kuno okw’okwenenya kwe kulina okutuusa abantu oba okubaluŋŋamya eri obulokozi. “mwenenye era mubatizibwe.” Okulangilira kwa Yokaana mu bumpi kwe kuno: Yesu ye yali ajja okujjawo ebibi by’ensi era atwaale n’omusango gw’ensi ku musalaba, alyoke alokole abantu bonna n’abo balyoke badde eri Katonda.

Yokaana yagamba nti, “Nze mbabatiza n’amazzi naye ye alibabatiza n’omwoyo omutukuvu…” bwe yagamba nti okubatiza n’omwoyo omutukuvu yali atutegeeza nti Yesu y’aligyawo ebibi byaffe byonna. Okubatiza kitgeeza “okunaazibwa.” Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu mu mugga Yoludani kutulaga nti omwana wa Katonda yabatizibwa era n’atwala ebibi byaffe byonna okutulokola. N’olwekyo tukyuuka ne tuva mu bulamu bwaffe obujjude ekibi n’etukkiriza mu Yesu, y’omwana gw’endiga ajjawo ebibi by’ensi. Eno y’enjiri y’obununuzi

Yokaana omubatiza yali atumiddwa ku nsi kuno era yali nga omukiise wa Kabaka. Yajja ateeke ebibi by’ensi ku Yesu okuyita mu kubatiza. Yawereza nga kabona omukulu ku nsi.

Katonda yatugamba nti yatuma omubaka we. Yokaana omubatiza yatugamba nti, “laba ntuma omubaka mu maaso gamwe.” Lwaki Katonda yatuma Yokaana agende mu maaso ga Yesu? ensonga yali eno: Katonda yali ayagala Yokaana ayise ebibi by’ensi yonna ku Yesu omwana wa Katonda. “anateekateeka ekkubo lyo mu maaso go.” Ani ono anateekateeka ekkubo naffe tununulibwe era tugende mu ggulu?

Emirundi ejjimu tutera okulowooza ennyo ku Yesu, naye Yokaana natassibwaako ssira, ate nga ye yamusooka. Njagala tufune okumanya n’okutegeera.

“Okusooka kw’enjiri ya Yesu Kristo omwana wa Katonda nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu nabbi Isaaya nti laba nze ntuma omubaka wange mu maaso go, alirongoosa oluguudo lwo” (Makko 1:1-2). Enjiri ey’obwakabaka bw’omuggulu etandika ne Yokaana omubatiza.

Kyawandiikibwa wa mu baibuli nti tulina okuweereza nga bakabona? Ka tusome mu kitabo ky’okubala 20:22-29. “Ne basitula e Kadesi ne batambula: abaana ba Isirairi, ekibiina kyonna, ne batuuka ku lusozi Koola. Mukama n’alagira Musa ne Alooni ku lusozi Koola, ku nsalo y’ensi ya Edomu, ng’ayogera nti Alooni anakuŋŋanyizibwa eri abantu be: kubanga taliyingira mu nsi gye mpadde abaana ba Isirairi, kubanga mwanjeemera ekigambo kyange ku mazzi ag’e Meriba.

Kale Alooni anaakuŋŋaanyizibwa eri abantu be, era anaafiira eyo. Musa n’akola nga mukama bwe yalagira: ne balinya ku lusozi Kooli mu saaso g’ekibiina kyonna. Musa n’ayambula Alooni ebyambalo bye n’abyambaza Eriyazaali mutabani we; Alooni n’afiira eyo ku ntikko y’olusozi. Musa ne

Eriyazaali ne baserengeta ne bava ku lusozi. Awo ekibiina kyonna bwe baalaba Alooni nga afudde, ne bamala ennaku asatu nga bakaabira Alooni, ennyumba ya Isirairi yonna.”

Mu kitabo ky’okuva kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka nti abatabani ba Alooni nabo baalina okufuuka bakabona, era lwe baali balina emyaka asatu bayingizibwa mu buweereza bwa bakabonona abakulu.

Okuva 28:1-5, “Era weesembereze gy’oli Alooni muganda wo, n’abaana be wamu naye, mu baana ba Isirairi ampeereze mu bwakabona, Alooni; Nadabu, abaana ba Alooni muganda wo ebyambalo ebitukuvu olw’ekitiibwa n’olw’obulungi. Era olibagamba bonna abalina omutima ogw’amagezi, be nnajjuza omwoyo ogwamagezi, bakole ebyambalo ebya Alooni okumutukuza, ampereze mu bwa Kabona. Bino bye byambalo bye balikola; eky’omu kifuba, n’ekkanzu, n’omunagiro, n’ekizibawo

eky’akatimba, ekiremba, n’olukoba; era balibakolera ebyambalo ebitukuvu Alooni muganda wo n’abaana be, ampeereze mu bwakabona. Era balitwala ezaabu eyo, ne kaniki, n’olugoye olw’effulungu, n’olumyufu, n’ebafuta.”

Katonda yawa Alooni obuweereza bwo bwakabona omukulu. Buno bwali bubwe yekka, era Katonda yalagira Musa ayawule Alooni nga Kabona omukulu, amukolere ekyambalo ekirungi ekimusaanira mu buweereza bwe ye nga kabona omukulu. Bino ebigambo tetulina kubyerabira.

Era ne mu Kuva 29:1-9 tusoma nti: “Era bw’olibakola bw’otyo okubatukuza, bampereze mu bwakabona: otwale ente ennume ento n’endiga ennume bbiri ezitaliko bulema, n’emigaati egitazimbulukusiddwa; n’obugaati obutazimbulukusiddwa obutabudwamu amafuta, n’emigaati egy’empewere egitazimbukuswa egisiigidwako amafuta: oligikola n’obutta

Era oliddira ebyambalo n’oyambaza Alooni ekizibawo, n’omunagiro ogw’ekkanzu, n’ekkanzu, n’ekyokukifuba, n’omusiba olukoba olw’ekkanzu olulukibwa n’amagezi: era olissa ekiremba ku mutwe gwe, n’oteeka engule entukuvu ku kiremba. N’olyoka otwala amafuta ag’okufukibwako, n’ogafuka ku mutwe gwe, n’omufukira amafuta. Era olireeta abaana be n’obassaako enkuufira; era banaabeeranga, n’obwakabona mu kiragiro ekitaliggwaawo: era olijjuza emikono gya Alooni n’abaana be.”

Alooni ne batabani be “olibasiba n’enkoba n’obassako enkuufira … era banabeeranga n’obwakabona mu kiragiro ekitaggwawo.” Onoyawula Alooni n’abaana be … Katonda yalagira nti Alooni yekka n’abaana be be baali

Lukka atunyonyola bulungi nti Zakaliya yali ava mu lulyo lwa Alooni kabona omukulu. Zakaliya bwe yali aweereza Katonda nga kabona eyali alabirira eweema mu kiseera ekyo, malayika wa mukama yamulabikira n’amugamba nti, Katonda yawulira esaala ye: mukyaala we Erisabeesi yali agenda kuzaala omwana ow’obulenzi. Zaakaliya kino teyakikkiriza. Kale n’abuuza malayika nti, “nnaakimanya ntya ekyo? Kubanga nze ndi mukadde, ne mukazi wange akadiye mu myaka gye.” Kubanga yabusabuusa, Zaakaliya yaziba omumwa.

Okubatizibwa kwa Yesu

Lwaki Yokaana omubatiza yabatiza Yesu?

Yesu asobole okujjawo ebibi

by’ensi byonna.

Yokaana omubatiza y’ennyini yajulira nti Yesu yali mwana wa Katonda era ye yajjawo ebibi byaffe byonna. Yokaana omubatiza era omuweereza wa Katonda ye yali anaajulira obulokozi bwa Katonda. Kino tekitegeeza nti Katonda ye mweene tasobola kutugamba ffe abantu nti ye mulokozi waffe. Katonda akolera mu baweereza be mu kanisa awamu ne mu Bantu

be bonna mu nsi abalokolebwa (Isaaya 40:2, 8). “Mwogere eby’okusanyusa Yerusalemi, mu

mukoowoole nti entalo ze zimalirizibbwa, ng’obutali butuukirivu bwe busonyiyiddwa; ng’aweereddwa mu Mukono gwa mukama emirundi ebiri olw’ebibi bye byonna. Omuddo guwotoka, ekimuli kiyongobera naye ekigambo kya Katonda waffe kinaanyweranga ennaku zonna.”

Emyaka lusaanvu emabega nga Yesu tanaba kuzaalibwa, Katonda yatusuubiza nti, “temukyaali bonoonyi nate.

Ebitabo ebina eby’enjiri bitubuulira ku Yokaana omubatiza. Ne Malaki, nnabbi asembayo mu ndagano enkadde naye ajjulira nti Yokaana omubatiza y’omuweereza Katonda gwe yateekateeka. Endagaano empya etandika n’okuzaalibwa kwa Yokaana omubatiza, n’obuweereza bwe obw’okubeera omubaka w’abantu bonna anateeka emikono ku Yesu nga amussaako ebibi by’ensi. Y’ensonga lwaki tumuyita Yokaana omubatiza; kubanga yabatiza Yesu. Okubatiza kitegeza ki? Kitegeeza “okuyisaako”, “okusaako”, “okuziikibwa mu” “okunaazibwa” era ne mu ndagano enkadde, “okussaako emikono”, omuntu bwe yayonoonanga, yayissanga (oba yassaanga) ebibi bye ku nsolo (ssaddaaka) etaalina bulema bwonna. Bwe yateekanga emikono gye ku mutwe gwa ssaddaaka, yali agissizaako ebib bye. Ensolo eno yafanga n’ebibi ebyo. Ekikolwa kino eky’okuteekako emikono mu ndagano enkadde

Abantu bagenda mu ddungu okulaba Yokaana omubatiza, eyakaabiranga wagulu nti “mwenenye mwe abaana b’emisota.” Ne Yesu yababuuza nti “kiki kye mwagenda mu ddungu okutunuulira? omuntu ayambade ezinekaneka? Laba abambala ezinekaneka baba mu nyumba za bakabaka.”

Mu Matayo 3:13-17 tusoma nti “Awo Yesu n’ava e’Galiraaya, n’atuuka ku Yoludaani eri Yokaana, amubatize.

Naye Yesu naddamu n’amugamba nti kkiriza kaakano: kubanga kitugwanira bwe tutyo okutuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna. N’alyoka amukkiriza. Awo Yesu bwe yamala okubatizibwa, amangu ago n’ava mu mazzi: laba omwoyo wa Katonda n’akka ng’ejjiba, n’ajja ku ye; laba, eddoboozi ne liyima mu ggulu nga ligamba nti oyo ye mwana wange gwe njagala gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”

Yesu mwana wa Katonda omununuzi waffe. Yesu yeyambulako ebitiibwa by’omuggulu najja wano ku nsi okulokola abantu be.

Omuntu bwe yateekanga emikono gye ku ndiga (mu ndagaano enkadde) ebibi bye “byayisibwangako” ne biteekebwa ku ndiga, “ne biziikibwa”, “ne binaazibwa.” Endiga eno yattibwanga n’eziikibwa.

Ab’oluganda tufune eky’okulabirako kino: muno mu mikono gyange mulimu akatambala n’omuzindaalo (ogw’okwogererako,

Yesu bwe yagamba nti “ obutuukirivu bwonna” yali ategeeza ki? Yali ategeeza nti kyali “ekikolwa ekituufu ekisanidde.” Kale nno mu kubatiza kwa Yesu, “ebikolwa byonna ebisanidde” byatuukirizibwa. Yokaana, n’olwekyo yali mutuufu okubatiza Yesu ne Yesu yali mutuufu okukkiriza okubatizibwa Yokaana, ebibi by’ensi byonna bisobole okumuteekebwako.

“Naye awali okuggibwako ebyo tewakyali kuwangaayo ssaddaaka” Olunyiriri luno lutegeeza ki? Amakulu agali mu ge gano: Ekibi, ekya buli kika kyanaazibwa Katonda atusonyiye era aggyewo ebyonoono byaffe byonna ow’oluganda kino okikiriza? Kale nno “tewakyali kuwangayo ssadaaka olw’ekibi.”

Singa Yesu teyabatizibwa ebyonoono byaffe tebyandigyidwawo. Singa Yesu yakomererwa nga tanaba kujjawo bibi byaffe, okufa kwe tekwandibadde na makulu. Bwe yali atandise obuweereza bwe ku myaka 30, Yesu yagenda ewa Yokaana abatizibwe mu Yoludaani. Obuweereza yabumaliriza ku myaka 33. Yagamba Yokaana nti, “kkiriza kaakano kubanga kitugwanira okuyuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna….” olwo abantu bonna balyoke balokoke era batuukirirre. Katonda teyatunuulira Yesu (bwe yali akomereddwa ku musalaba), kubanga yali ajjude ebyonoono eby’amuteekebwako ku lunaku luli lw’ebamubatiza. Katonda yali alina okumuwaayo nga ssaddaaka.

“…nditeeka amateeka ganga ku mutima gwabwe, era ne ku magezi gaabwe ndigawandiika;” mu mitima gyaffe ne mundowooza zaffe, tuli bonoonyi mu maaso ga Mukama oba tuli batuukirivu? Bwe tukkiriza mu kigambo kya Mukama tufuuka abatuukirivu. Yesu yaggyawo ebibi byaffe ne yetikka omusango gwabyo; ye mulokozi waffe. Newankubadde oyonoona bulijjo, era ng’olowooza tosanidde mu maaso ga Katonda, kkiriza bukkiriza mu kigambo kya Katonda ojja kulokoka ofuuke omutuukirivu.

Omutuma Paulo ne Jjajaffe Ibulayimu tebafuuka batuukirivu lwa bikolwa byabwe. Ne banaggwano aboogerwako mu biseera bya Baibuli tebatuukirira lwa bikolwa, wabula bakkiriza bukkiriza mu kigambo kya Katonda. Kino ekigambo kye kye kyalimu omukisa gw’okufuna ekisonyiwo ky’ebibi.

“Naye awali okuggibwako ebyo, tewakyali kuwangayo ssaddaaka olw’ekibi” (Abaebbulaniya 10:18). Katonda yatulokola ffe tuleme okufiirira ebibi byaffe okikkiriza kino owoluganda?

Yesu Kristo, eyali mu kifanaanyi ky’ekitiibwa kye (abaebbulaniya 1:3), teyayagala kuluubirira kufuna tuttumu ku lulwe. Naye yajja gyetuli ng’omuntu era n’okwewombeeka n’eyewombeeka okutuusa ku kuffa n’agondera mukama.

Yesu Tumutenderezza, “Yesu ye Katonda waffe Omulokozi waffe era Kabaka waffe.” Yesu tumutendereza era tumwebaza, kubanga yagondera okwagala kwa Katonda kitaawe okutuusa ku nkomerero. Abantu b’ensi yonna

Pastor Steven Icke, England Mu ndagaano enkadde,kabona omukulu

Singa emikono tegyateekebwangako (ku ssaddaakka), ekikolwa eky’okuwaayo tekyandituukirizibwa, kubanga okutangirira kw’ebibi kwali tekusoboka awatali kuteekako mikono ku kiweebwayo (ssaddaakka).

Mu eby’abaleevi 16:21 tusoma nti, “Awo Alooni anateekanga emikono gye gyombi ku mutwe gw’embuzi ennamu, n’ayatulira ku yo obutali butuukirivu bwonna obw’abaana ba

Mu byawandiikibwa, ekigambo kino kikozesebwa okutulaga obununuzi (Okuva 21:30; Okubala 35:31-32; Isaaya 43:3). Mu ndagaano empya, mu Matayo 20:28 ne Makko 10:45, ky’ekikolwa eky’okusasula essente.

Okutangirira, Omutango. Enkola (ekikolwa) eky’okuteeka ebibi

by’abantu bonna ku Yesu. Mu ndagaano enkadde, ekikolwa eky’okuteeka emikono ku Ssaddaaka. Kabona yateeka emikono gye ku mutwe gw’ekiweebwayo. Mu ndagaano empya, ekikolwa ky’okutangirira kikwatagana n’okubatiza kwa Yesu Kristo mu mugga Yoludaani. (Yokaana bwe yali abatiza Yesu).

Mu ndagaano empya: ekigambo kino ‘omutango’ kikwatagana n’ekigambo ‘kpr’ mu lw’alamiya ekitegeeza ‘okubikka.’ Okubikka kuno kwe kubatiza okw’obununuzi obuva mu Yesu bwetusoma mu ndagaano empya. Yesu yajja mu nsi. Bwe yali alina emyaka asatu yabatizibwa. Kino yakikola asobole okulokola abantu bonna.

Omutango ogwo mu Baibuli. A. Mu ndagaano enkadde, ensolo etaliko

bulema (ssaddaakka) ye yali omutango. (okuva 30:10, Eby’abaleevi 1:3-5, 4:20-21, 16:6-22).

B. Ne mu ndagaano empya, enkola

ey’okutangirira teyakyuka nnyo. Enjawulo eyaliwo y’eno: mu ndagaano eno empya, Yesu Kristo omwana wa Katonda yeyaweebwayo ku lw’abantu fenna okutulokola. Omutume Paulo atugamba nti Yesu Kristo yatufirira (1 Abakolosaayi 15:3).

Ekigambo kino, ‘omutango’ kyakozesebwanga mu ngeri bibir; kukuggyawo ekibi eky’asooka (m lusuku Adeni), n’okuggyawo ebibi byaffe fenna abantu ebyyateekebwa ku Yesu (Matayo 3:15). Yalokola abantu fenna lwe yayiwa omusayi gwe kumusalaba (eby’abaleevi 1:1-5, Yokaana 19:30).

Omutume Paulo atunyonyola mu 2 Abakkolinso 5:14 nti, “…ng’omu yabafiirira bonna, bonna kyevaava bafa;” ne mu luyiriri olwa 21 tunyonyolwa nti “ku lwaffe” ate mu abaggalatiya 3:13, “…bwe yafuuka ekikolimo ku lwaffe:” enyiriri ntono nnyo mu ndagaano empya ez’ogera ku Yesu nga ssaddaaka (Abaefeso 5:2): mu Yokaana 1:29, 36, Amanyibwa ng’omwana

Omutuma Paulo yakikakasa nti okubatiza kwa Yesu mu Yoludaani, ke kali akabonero ak’okutangirira ebibi by’ensi. Atunnyonyola mu Abaruumi 6 nti ebibiby’ensi yonna byateekebwa ku Yesu okuyita mu kubatiza kwe (Yokaana omubatiza lwe yamubatiza). Paulo yeyongera okutunyonyola nti, okukomererwa kwa Yesu gwe musango n’empeera y’ekibi, era ne ssaddaakka (Yesu Kristo) yaweebwayo ku lw’emeeme z’abantu fenna.

Okufa kwa Yesu kwatuukiriza entekateeka ya Katonda. Eno enteekateeka yaliwo ne mu ndagaano enkadde (mu nkola y’okuwaayo omutango ogutalina bulema). Ekikolwa eky’okuteekako emikono, mu ndagaano enkadde, n’okubatiza kwa Yesu, mu ndagaano empya, byonna bikwatagana n’amateeka ga Katonda (Isaaya 53:10, Matayo 3:13-17, Abaebbulaniya

7:1-10, 18, 1 Peteero 3:21). Endagaano empya tekoma ku kubatiza kwa

Yesu. Wabula tweyongera okuyiga nti okutuukirizibwa kw’obulokozi bwaffe kubeerawo bwe tukkiriza okubatizibwa mu Kristo, ne tufiira mu ye (Abaruumi 6:3-7, abagalatiya 2:19-20). Yokaana omubatiza yabatiza Yesu, kubanga Yesu ye yali atumiddwa okuggyawo ebibi by’ensi yonna; era oluvanyuma lwa byonna, yakomererwa naffa. Yesu Kristo, okuyita mu kubatiza kwe n’omusaayi, yaggyawo ebibi by’ensi byonna n’atulokola okuva mu manyi ga Setaani natuzzayo mu manyi ga Katonda. Kino yakikola lwe yakkiriza omusango gwaffe n’obulumi bwaffe abantu.

N’olwekyo, obununuzi (obulokozi) bwa Yesu bwaggyawo ekibi ekyali kiziyiza abantu okusemberera Katonda. Olwo Katonda naye yasobola okutabagana n’abantu be mu ddembe, n’abawa essanyu n’obulokozi (Abaruumi 5:11),

Olunakku olw’Omutango (olw’Okutangirira)

Mu Abbaebulaniya, ekigambo kino kitegeeza

‘okubikkirira’ oba ‘okutabagana.’ Mu bayudaaya, olunaku olw’omuwendo olusiinga lwali lunaku lwa mutango (olunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu. (Eby’abaleevi 23:27, 25:9). Tusoma mu by’abaleevi 16 nti Kabona omukulu yali tayinza kuyingira mu watukuvu okuggyako ng’atuukirizza ennono n’amateeka g’olunaku luno olw’omutango.

Ekifo kino mu weema, (awatukuvu) kyali kirina okutangirirwa. N’abaana ba Isiraeri n’abo

baali balina okutangirirwa. Kale nno, Kabona omukulu yali alina okuwaayo ssaddaakka (ng’ateeka emikono gye ku mutwe gw’omutango) asobole okutangirira ebibi by’abaana ba Isiraeri. Ku lunaku luno, Abaisiraeri balowoozanga ku bwonoonefu bwabwe ne ku Katonda.

Mu kiseera kye kimu (kulunaku luno) ebiweebwayo 15 (nga mwe muli n’omutango), ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa 12 n’ebiweebwayo 3 eby’okutangirira byaweebwayo eri Katonda (Eby’abaleevi 16:5-29, okubala 29:7-11). Bwe tubala ‘omwana gw’endiga’ gwetusomako mu kubala 28:8, tufuna ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa 13, n’ebiweebwayo eby’omutango bina.

Abaana ba Isiraeri batangiriranga ebibi by’omwaka ku lunaku olw’kkumi mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu. Mu ndagaano empya, olunaku olw’omutango olw’ensi yonna lwe lunaku Yesu Kristo lwe yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza. Lwe

Ssaddaakka ey’Omutango Mu ndagaano Enkadde: ssaddaakka

ey’okwawulibwa (kw’abaana ba Isiraeri) nayo yaweebwayo mu yeekalu. Kabona omukulu yeelongoosanga nateekako ebyambalo bya bafuta (mu kifo ky’engoye ezabulijjo), nalonda ente ento ensajja etaliiko bulema okuda ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi n’embuzi ensajja okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku lulwe ne ku lw’enyumba ye (Eby’abaleevi 16:3-4). Kabona omukulu yateeka emikono gye ku mutwe gw’ebiweebwayo nayatulirako ebibi by’abantu eby’omwaka.

Ekikolwa eky’okuteekako emikono kyali kituundu kyamuwendo nnyo ku lunaku olw’omutango. Singa ekikolwa kino tekyakolebwa, okuwayo ssaddaakka tekwandikoleddwa, kubanga omutango gw’ekibi tegwandituukirizibwa awatali kuteekako mikono ku kiweebwayo olw’ekibi.

Mu eby’abaleevi 16:21, “Awo Alooni anaateekanga emikono gye gyombi ku mutwe gw’embuzi ennamu, n’ayatulira ku yo obutali butuukirivu bwonna obw’abaana ba Isiraeri, n’ebyonoono byabwe byonna; n’abiteeka ku mutwe gw’embuzi, nagisindiikiriza mu ddungu mu mukono gw’omuntu eyeeteeseteese.”

Ebibi bya Isiraeri byali birina okuteekebwa ku mutango nga Kabona omukulu amaze okutaakako emikono gye ku gwo. Olwo, omutango omutango negusindiikirizibwa mu ddungu. Kano kali kabonero akazza obuggya okutabagana wakati wa Katonda n’abantu be (okulaga nti ebibi byabwe eby’omwaka biggibwawo).

Mu ndagaano empya: Mu ngeri y’emu, Yesu Kristo yabatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza (Yokaana yamuteekako emikono, era ekikolwa kino kikwatagana n’eky’omundagaano enkadde)

n’aggyawo ebibi byonna eby’ensi ng’omwana gw’endiga okutuukiriza obulokozi bwa Katonda (Eby’abaleevi 20:22, Matayo 3:15, Yokaana 1:29, 36).

Mu ndagaano enkadde, nga tanaba kukuba kalulu, Alooni yatta embuzi ennume n’ebeera ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi ku lulwe n’enjju ye (Eby’abaleevi 16:11). Oluvanyuma yaddiranga ekyoterezo ekijjudde amanda ag’omuliro okuva mu kyoto mu maaso ga mukama nga embattu ze zijjudde obubaane obw’akaloosa obusekuddwa ennyo, nabuleeta munda w’eggigi.

Kino kyabwo okubeera akabonero akatulaga okubatiza kwa Yesu okwali kugenda okuggya mu ndagaano empya.

Zino wamanga z’ensonga lwaki yateekawo amateeka mu nsi:

Abonoonyi yabawa amateeka asobole okubalokola bavve mu bibi byabwe. “…kubanga amateeka ge gamanyisa ekibi.” (Abaruumi 3:20).

Eteeka ery’okubiri ly’etteeka ery’okukkiriza erilokola abonoonyi. Ly’etteeka “ery’Omwoyo gw’obulamu” (Abaruumi 8:2) erituwa obulokozi okuyita mu kukkiriza Yesu Kristo omulokozi waffe (Abaruumi 5:1-2). Yesu yajja kuno ku nsi okutuukiriza amateeka. Yabatizibwa, n’ayiwa omusaayi gwe naffa n’azuukira. Yesu yeyeteekawo etteeka ly’obulokozi okulokola abonoonyi b’ensi yonna.

Katonda yateekawo etteeka ly’okukkiriza ku lw’abo abakkiriza mu bulokozi obw’amazzi n’omwoyo. Omuntu yenna ayagala okulokoka afuuke omwana wa Katonda alina okukkiriza mu mateeka ag’okukkiriza katonda ge yateekawo. Lino ly’ekkubo lyokka ettuufu ery’obulokozi.

N’olwekyo Yesu yaggulawo omulyango gw’eggulu. Abo bonna abakkiriza obulokozi buno obw’omwoyo balokoka. Gano ge mazima agasibuka mu tteeka lino.

Katonda yatuwa amateeka tusobole okumanya ekibi ekiri muffe. Ffe ng’abantu tetuyinza kukuuma mateeka gonna, n’olwekyo tulina okugonda tukkirize nti tuli bonoonyi.(nga tetunaba kudda eri Yesu) Fenna tuli bonoonyi era Katonda akimanyi nti tetuyinza kukuuma mateeka wadde n’okugatambulira mu. Eno y’ensonga lwaki Katonda yakka ku nsi nabatizibwa natwala omusango gwaffe kumusalaba. Bwe tugezaako mu manyi gaffe okukuuma amateeka, twonoona era tubeera bamalala. Ekibi ekyo tusanye tukyewale. Amateeka gatulaga obutukuvu n’obutuukirivu bwa Katonda ate n’egatulaga obunafu bwaffe abantu. Kale obutukuvu n’obutuukirivu bwa Katonda bubikkuliddwa mu kigambo kya Katonda.

Fenna twali bonoonyi bwe twali tetunaba kukkiriza mu Yesu. Bwe twamala okukkiriza mu Yesu, okusinziira ku bye yawandiika mu kigambo, tufuukirawo abatuukirivu. Omutume Paulo yajjukira obulamu bwe nga tanaba kumanya Yesu no kumwatula nga tanaba kumwatula, nagamba nti yali ow’olubereberye mu babi.

Paulo, bwe yali akyayitibwa saulo, yasisinkana Yesu Kristo ku kkubo lye ddamasiko, nazuula nti Yesu ye mulokozi we era okuva kw’olwo yamukkiriza n’amwebaza. Paulo yasalawo okuwereza Katonda n’okujjulira obutuukirivu bwe n’okubatiza kwe okwaggyawo ebibi by’ensi

Paulo yafuuka omuwereeza wa Katonda eyabuulira enjiri y’amazzi n’omwoyo. Abakristayo abasinga balowooza nti Paulo yali akyali mwonoonyi ne bwe yamala okusisinkana Yesu.

Ani agamba nti Paulo yali mwonoonyi? Ani asobola okugamba nti omuntu mwonoonyi, newankubadde omuntu oyo akkiriza mukubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe? Abo bokka abatamanyi mazima agali mu bulokozi bwa Yesu bebalowooza batyo.

Omutume Paulo yafuuka omutuukirivu bwe yakkiriza mu bulokozi bwa Yesu. Okuva kw’olwo, Paulo omuweereza wa Katonda omuwombeefu, yabuulira abantu bonna enjiri

y’obutuukirivu okuyita mu Yesu Kristo, omwana wa Katonda era omulokozi. Okuva kw’olwo omutume Paulo yali mutuukirivu mu maaso ga Katonda, omuweereza ow’amazima eyabuulira enjiri eri abonoonyi bonna ab’ensi.

Omwonoonyi asobola okubuulira abonoonyi enjiri? Tekisooka kukola. Omuntu asobola atya okubuulira ekyo kyatalina! Omuntu atanaba kulokoka asobola atya okulokola abalala!

Okubatiza kwa Yesu n’omusaayi gwe byaggyawo ebibi by’ensi omulundi gumu.

Empeera y’ekibi kye ki?

Empeera y’ekibi kufa. Buli kibi (ekinene n’ekitono) kirina okulamulibwa, era n’empeera ya buli kibi kufa. Abantu ba Isiraeri bali balina

okuwaayo endiga enongoofu (etaliiko bulema) basobole okutangirira ebibi byabwe. Naye ssaddaaka ez’ensolo bwezityo tezasobolaanga kutangirira bibi by’abaana ba Isiraeri omulundi gumu, “Kubanga tekiyinzika omusaayi gw’ente ennume n’embuzi okuggyako ebibi.” (Abaebbulaniya 10:4). Mu ndagaano enkadde, katonda yateekateekanga endiga okubeera ssaddaaka y’ebibi by’abaana ba Isiraeri; bayatulirangako ebibi byabwe era ssaddaaka yafanga mu kifo kyabwe.

N’olwekyo, Katonda kye yava ateekateeka (mu ndagaano empya) omwana gw’endiga Yesu Kristo anunule abantu fenna okuva mu bibi byabwe. Yabatizibwa mu mugga Yoludaani nagyawo ebibi byaffe. “empeera y’ekibi kufa, naye ekirabo kya Katonda bwe bulamu obutagwaawo mu Yesu Kristo mukama waffe.” (Abaruumi 6:23).

Okubatiza ffe kwetufuna kunywezza okukkiriza kwaffe nga twatudde obulokozi, nga tukkiriza Yesu okutulokola. Kale, bwe tubatizibwa,ekikolwa kino tukikola tusobole okwatula (okwasanguza) okukkiriza kwaffe mu Yesu. Twatula nti tukkiriza nti Yesu yabatizibwa okugyawo ebibi byaffe era yaffa kumusalaba asobole okutangirira ebibi byaffe. Ndowooza kati otegeera ebiwandiikidwa mu Matayo 3:15 nti, “kkiriza kaakano: kubanga kitugwanira bwe tutyo okutuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna.” Yesu yetikka ebibi by’ensi yonna, bwe yabatizibwa omubaka oba omukiise w’abantu (Yokaana omubatiza).

Ffe abakkiriza tununulidwa kubanga tukiriza mu kubatiza kwa Yesu, okuffa kwe kumusalaba awamu n,okuzuukira kwe. Amanyi agali mukukomolebwa okw’omutima (okw’omwoyo mu Abaruumi 2:29) ge gava mukubatiza kwa Yesu; amanyi ago ge gagyawo ekibi mu mitima gyaffe. N’olwekyo omutume Petero kyeyava agamba abantu nit, “Mwenenye,mubatizibwe buli muntu mmwe okuyingiramu linnya lya Yesu Kristookuggibwako ebibi byammw, munaaweebwa ekirabo gwe Mwoyo Omutukuvu.” (Ebikolwa by’abatume 2:38) Bino byaliwo ku lunaku lwa Pentekote.

Abakkiriza fenna tulina okufuna ekisonyiwo tumanye nti mu kukkiriza Yesu, tufuna ekisonyiwo. Erinnya “Yesu” litegeeza ki? “Naye alizaala omwana wa bulenzi; naawe olimutuuma

Bwe tubatizibwa, twatula nti, “Weebale nnyo, Mukama. Weetikka ebibi byange byonna okuyita mukubatiza kwo wanfirira kumusalaba era n’ozuukira okundokola nze era nzikiriza mu njiri yo.” Abaweereza

bateketeeke emitima gyabwe nga balindirira okujja kwa’yesu.

Bwe yali nga tanaba kubatiza Yesu, Yokaana omubatiza yakuutiranga abantu bonna bafunne okubatiza okw’okwenenya bagibweeko ebibi byabwe.

Ensonga lwaki Yokaana yabatizaanga yali eno: Yali ateekateekera abayisiraeri okujja kwa Yesu bamweyune era bamukkirize.

Yokaana yasomesa nit yesu alijja najjawo ebibi byabwe byonna era ajjewo ssaadaaka ez’edda (ezo’mundagaano enkadde) ye abeere ssadaakka ennamu eyolubeerera gyetuli fenna.

nga batuula eby’onoono byabwe eri Yokaana. Abantu bano baamanya nti tekisoboka kuyingira mu bwa’kabaka bwa Katonda nga beesiga ebikolwa ebirungi bye baali bakoze. Bali balina kukyussa ndowooza yabwe bagisse ku Yesu, kubaanga ye yali asobola okubasonyiwa era nabanazaako ebibi byabwe babeere nga basaanidde okuyingira mu Ggulu.N’olwekyo, okubatiza kwa Yokaana kwatuukiriza ebintu bino: Ekyolubereberye, kwaleetawo okwenenya ekibi no’kutunuulira Yesu Nga eyajja okutuwa fenna obulokozi.

Yokaana yagamba nti, “Nze mbabatiza na amazzi olw’okwenenya: naye oyo ajja ennyuma wange ye ansinga amaanyi, sisaanira na kukwata ngatto ze: oyo alibabatiza n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu n’omuliro” (Matayo 3:11).

Yokaana omubatiza yakuutira abantu beneenye bade eri Yesu n’okujulira n’ajulira gyebali abantu nga Yesu bwe yali agenda

okubagyako ebibi byabwe n’ebyensi yonna (Yokaana 1:29). Ne Yesu naye yajja kuno ku’nsi okujilira ku Yokaana nti yajja okutulaga ekkubo er’obutuukirivu (Matayo 21:32).

Okukkiriza mu musalaba gwokka, awatali kukkiriza mu kkubatiza kwa Yesu tekwayawukana nnyo n’okuwaayo ssaddaakka nga teteekeddwaako mikono. Abo abawangayo ssaddaakka ez’ekikka ekyo tebaanunulibwaanga. Ssaddaakka ey’ekikka ekyo yali tesanyusa Katonda. Mukama Katonda yayita Musa nayogera naye ebigambo bino, “Oba ng’awaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokkebwa ku nte, anaawaangayo nnume eteriko bulema: anaagiweerangayo ku mulyango gw’eweema ey’okusisinkanirangamu, alyoke akkirizibwenga mu maaso ga Mukama. Era anaateekanga engalo ze ku mutwe gw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa; awo eneemukkirizibwanga okumutangirira.”

(Eby’abaleevi 1:3-4). Katonda wamazima era wa’bwenkaanya.

Ataddewo enkola ey’okutangirira ebibi eyamazima. Edda Katonda bwe bamuwa ssaddaakka ezitaali nongoofu, abantu tebakkirizibwa mu maaso ge ye. Naye ssaddaakka eya’weebwangayo ng’ekwatagana n’amateeka yali ekkirizibwa mu maaso ga’Katonda era nga n’ebibi byaffe bitangirirwa. Mungeri y’emu, naffe bwe’twawula okubatiza kwa Yesu okukujja kukukkiriza kwaffe mu ye, tetuyinza kugibwako bibi.

Singa obulokozi bwaffe bwali busibukka mu kukkiriza linnya lya Yesu lyokka, tetwandibadde na’kyawandiikibwa ng’ekiri mu Matayo 7:21 ekogera ku bakozi b’obutali butuukirivu.

Ebyawandiikibwa mu ndagaano enkadde bikwatagana nebyo ebyawandiikibwa mu ndagaano empya (Isaaya 34:16). Okubatiza kwa Yesu mu mugga Yoludaani nakw kukwatagana n’ekikolwa ekyakolwa mu ndagaano enkadde eky’okuteeka emikono ku ssaddaaka mu ndagaano enkadde.

Olwo n'musaayi gwe tegwandibadde mulongoofu era tegwandisanidde kujjawo byonoono byaffe. (Abaebulaniya 10:29).

N’olwekyo, omusaayi gwa Yesu gwandibadde gutukuliza ddala emitima gy’abakkiriza singa bakkiriza nti ebibi byabwe byonna byateekebwa ku Yesu bwe yali abatizibwa Yokaana omubatiza (Yokaana na muteekao emikono gye).

Yesu yenyini yanyonyola abayigirizwa be

Owololuganda, kansubire nti otegeera era okkiriza mu njiri eno ey’ammazzi n’omwoyo, naddala ey’okubatiza kwa Yesu. Yesu bwati bwe yanyonyola abayigirizwa be kunsonga eno ey’enjiri y’amazzi n’omwoyo; nabo abatume bassa essira ku kubatiza kwa Yesu bwe baali babuulira enjiri. Omutume Paulo yagamba nti, “Kubanga nnasooka okubawa mmwe era kye nnaweebwa, nga Kristo yafa olw’ebibi byaffe ng’ebyawandiikibwa bwe byogera; era nga yaziikibwa; era nga yazuukizibwa ku lunaku olw’okusatu ng’ebyawandiikibwa bwe byogera;” (1 Abakkolinso 15:3-4).

“Kristo yafa olw’ebibi byaffe ng’byawandiikibwa bwe byogera” Ekyawandiikibwa kino kitegeeza ki? Kitegeeza nti okufa kwa Yesu kwatangirira ebibi byaffe fenna. Okufa kwe kwali kufananako ng’enkola

eyo’mundagano enkadde ey’okuwaayo ssaddaakka. Abaebbulaniya 10:1 tusoma nti, “kubanga amateeka bwe galena ekisiikirize eky’ebirungi ebyali bigenda okujja, so si kifaananyi kyennyini eky’bigambo, ne ssaddaaka ezitajjulukuka, ze bawaayo obutayosa buli mwaka buli mwaka, tebayinza enaku zonna kutuukiriza abo abazisemberera.”

Mu kiseera ekyo Alooni ye yali Akikiridde Isiraeri yonna. Ye yekka ye yateeka emikono gye ku mutwe gw’embuzzi; naye ebyonoono by’abaana ba’isiraeri byonna (abantu nga obukadde bubiri oba busatu) bwateekebwanga ku mbuzzi eno. Ssaddaaka z’omundagaano enkadde kisikirizze ky’ebyo ebirungi ebigenda okujja. Yesu yewaayo yekka kulw’okwagala kwa’katonda natwawula okusinziira ku kwagala kwa’Katonda mu byawandiikibwa.

Yesu yajja mu kifananyi ky’omuntu, nabeera omwana gw’endiga ataliiko bulema. Yesu y’omwana wa Katonda yekka era ye “…bwali

Wabula, katonda atukoledde fenna ekikolwa kino eky’obutuulirivu eky’okujjawo ekibi mu mitima gy’abantu bonna ng’ayita mu kubatiza kwe n’omusaayi. Buno bwe butuukirivu bwa katonda, Yesu bwatuukiriza. Era kyawandiikibwa mu Bayibuli nti, “kubanga mu yo (mu njiri) obutuukirivu bwa Katonda bubikkulibwa obuva mu kukkiriza okutuusa mu kukkiriza: nga bwe kyawandiikibwa ‘nti naye omutuukirivu anaabanga mulamu lwa kukkiriza’” (Abaruumi 1:17). Omuntu afunye

okusonyiyibwa ebyonoono, ng’ayita mu kukkiriza mu butuukirivu bwa Katonda, ajja kuwangula “etteeka ly’ekibi n’okufa” agoberere obutuukirivu. Kino kisobokera ddala nga tuyita mu mwoyo omutukuvu atuula mw’abo abakkiriza mu’njiri ey’amazzi n’omwoyo.

Ebyonoono by’abatuukirivu eby’edda, eybya’leero n’ebyo mu maaso byonna bya teekebwa ku Yesu kulunaku luli Yokaana omubatiza lwe yamubatiza. Omubiri gwabatuukirivu nagwo gufiridde wamu ne Yesu. Omuntu bwakkiriza mu mazima gano abeera mu bumu ne Yesu (mu kufa kwe), so n’okufa kwe Yesu kwe kufuuka omusango olw’ebebi byoyo akkiriza (Abaruumi 6).

N’olwekyo, newankubadde omubiri gw’omuntu omutuukirivu gwonoona buli kiseera, omwoyo omutukuvu atuula mu mutima gwe abeera amuluŋŋamya asobole okugoberera okwagala kwe. Omuntu omutuukirivu agoberera

omwoyo omutukuvu era akola ebyo byayagala, kubanga omwoyo atuula munda mumutima gwe.

Mu biseera by’abatume abantu bangi nnyo bali banenya abakkiriza. Bali babanenya, kubanga omwoyo omutukuvu ye yali aluŋŋamya obulamu bwabwe. Abantu abaali babanenya tebategeera so n’okumanya tebamanya njiri y’amazzi neyo’omwoyo abatume gyebabuulira. Endowooza z’abantu abali banenya zali z’amubiri. N’olwekyo omutume Paulo kyava ayogera nti, “Kale tunaayogera tutya? Tunyiikirenga okukola ekibi ekisa kyeyongerenga? Kitalo. Abaafa ku kibi, tunaabeeranga tutya abalamu mukyo nate?” (Abaruumi 6:1-2). Era ayogera nti, “Nneebaza Katonda ku bwa Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe. Kale bwe kityo nze nzekka mu magezi ndi muddu wa mateeka ga Katonda, naye mu mubiriwa tteeka lya kibi” (Abaruumi 7:25).

Eky’enkomerero, tulina okumanya nti omubiri

gw’abo abatuukirivu gwonoona newankubadde babulira enjiri mu’nsi yonna. Abatuukirivu batambulira mu mwoyo kubanga mu mitima gyabwe bali mu kisa. “kale tukole tutya? Tukolenga ekibi, kubanga amateeka si gegatufuga wabula ekisa? Kitalo. Tememanyi nga gwe mwewa okuba abaddu b’okuwulira, muli baddu b’oyo gwe muwulira, oba ab’ekibi okuleeta okufa, oba ab’okuwulira okuleeta obutuukirivu?” (Abaruumi 6:15-16)

Ng’ebimuli ebya ddala ebiva mu lusuku bwe byawukana ne’bimuli ebikole mu makolero (aga pulastika), so naffe abatuukirivu bwetusobola okubawula ku bonoonyi. Atuula mu mutima gw’omutuukirivu y’omwoyo omutukuvu. Omuntu amulina asobola okutambulira mu mwoyo n’agoberera amazima ag’obutuukirivu mubulamu bwe; era kino kisanyusa Katonda. Naye omwonoonyi aba ajjudde ekibi muye; aba agondera ekibi ekiri mu ye, so tayinza kubeera

nabulamu butukuvu, kubanga talina mwoyo mutukuvu; olw’ebibi ebinji mumutima gwe.

Endowooza (abantu abamu gyebalina) egamba nti abakkiriza mu njiri y’ammazzi n’omwoyo tebasobola kubeera batukuvu nkyamu. Katonda abalabula ng’agamba nti, “Naye abobye batamanya byonna babivuma: bye bamanya mu buzaaliranwa ng’ensolo ezitalina magezi mw’ebyo bazikirira.” (Yuda 1:10). Abantu bangi enaku zino, newankubadde tebakkiriza njiri y’amazzi n’omusaayi (tebanaba kugitegerera ddala), bagamba nti tebatutegeera ffe abatuukirivu. Era ddala tebatutegeera, kubanga enjiri eno ennungi tebanaba kujikkiriza mu mitima gyabwe.

Olowooza ki kubikolwa eby’obutuukirivu eby’abalokole? Bawaddeyo ebyabwe byonna, n’bulamu bwabwe bwonna nga ssaddaakka okubunya enjiri mu’nsi zonna. Okusinziira ku’ndowoozayo, olowooza abo abakkiriza

mu’njiri ey’amazzi n’omwoyo basobola okweyongeranga okwonoona? (mu linnya ly’enjiri gye babuulira ate?) Nedda kino tekisoboka. Abatuukirivu bakola ebikolwa ebirungi lwa kukkiriza; era emisinji gy’okukkiriza kuno giri mumazima ababikulibwa obutuukirivu bwa Katonda. Abantu abazaalibwa Katonda bebo abatambulira mu butuukirivu bwa Katonda. Nsaba era nsuubira nti buli mwonoonyi anakyukka akomewo akkirize enjiri ya Yesu ey’ammazzi (okubatiza kwe n’omusayi). Weewaawo, kuno kwe kusaba kwange nti fenna tugibwaako ebibi kulw’okukkiriza mu njiri ey’amazzi n’omwoyo mu mitima gyaffe nga bwetulindiirira olunaku lw’okujja kwa mukama waffe buli kibi lwekirigibwawo.
