Ka ʻi he faai atu ʻa e taimí, ʻe lava ke tupu ʻa e mohuku kai ko e mūsitá ʻo aʻu ki he māʻolunga ko e mita ʻe 3 ki he 5, pea vaʻavaʻa mālohi ʻo meimei hangē ia ha fuʻu ʻakaú.—Mt. 13:31, 32.

(Lau ʻa e Ngāue 2:41; 4:4; 5:28; 6:7; 12:24; 19:20.) ʻI loto ʻi he hongofuluʻi taʻu ʻe tolu, ko e tokolahi ʻo e kau ngāue utu-taʻú ne mātuʻaki fakautuutu lahi ia ʻo lava ai ke pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻi Kolosé kuo aʻu ʻa e ongoongo leleí ʻo “malangaʻaki ki he meʻa moʻui kotoa pe ʻi he lalo langi.” (Kol. 1:23) He tupu fakaofo moʻoni ia!

Naʻa mo e taimí ni, ko e faʻahingá ni ʻoku nau malu mei he ngaahi tōʻonga fakatupu ʻuli fakalaumālié mo e ngaahi ngāue taʻemaʻa ʻo e māmani fulikivanu ko ení. (Fakafehoanaki mo e Aisea 32:1, 2.) ʻOku pehē hono fakatatau ʻe Sihova ʻa e Puleʻanga Faka-Mīsaiá ki ha fuʻu ʻakau ʻo ne fakahā fakaekikite: “ʻI he moʻunga taukakapa ʻo Isileli te u hunuki ia, pea te ne fakavaʻavaʻa atu, mo fai fua, pea te ne hoko ko e fuʻu sita langilangiʻia, pea ʻe nofo ʻi hono malu ʻa e ngaahi manupuna fulufulu kehekehe; ʻio ko e fuʻu malumalu ʻo hono ngaahi vaʻa te nau nofo ai.”—Isi. 17:23.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū naʻe “tupu pē ʻa e tenga ʻo ʻalu hake, kae mole ke mamaʻo haʻane ʻilo [ʻe he tangatá] pē ʻoku fakafēfē.” (Mk. 4:27) He founga faingofua moʻoni ia ke fakatātaaʻiʻaki ʻa e ngāue taʻehāmai ʻa e tupu fakalaumālié!
