Ko e ngaahi mana ʻa Sīsuú naʻe ʻikai ko hano fakamoʻoniʻi pē ko Sīsū ʻa e Mīsaiá mo e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne teuteu ha makatuʻunga ki he tui ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e Tohitapú ʻe fakamoʻui ʻa e faʻahinga talangofua ʻo e tangatá ʻi he kahaʻú. Ko e ngaahi talaʻofa ko ení ʻoku kau ai ʻa e kikite ʻi he ʻAisea vahe 35, naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he ʻuluaki palakalafí. ʻOku fakahā ʻe he Aisea 33:24 ʻo kau ki he tuʻunga moʻuilelei ʻi he kahaʻú ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangata manavahē-ʻOtuá: “ʻOku ʻikai ha nofo ai te ne pehe, ʻOku ou mahaki.” ʻI he tuʻunga tatau, ʻoku talaʻofa ʻe he Fakahā 21:4: “[Ko e ʻOtuá] te ne holoholo ʻa e loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha mate, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha mamahi, pe ha tangi, pe ha ongosia; kuo mole ʻa e ngaahi meʻa muʻa [ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo e faingataʻaʻia ʻi he ʻaho ní].”

Neongo pe ko e hā ʻa e faingataʻa naʻe moʻua ai ʻa e kakaí, naʻe fakamoʻui ia ʻe Sīsū ʻo ʻikai ha mamahi, ʻikai toe toloi pea taʻetotongi. ʻI he taʻealamataʻofí, ko e leaʻaki ʻo e meʻá ni naʻe mafola ia hangē ha afi fakaʻauhá, pea vave ai ke “ʻalu atu kiate ia ha ngāhi fuʻu kakai, ʻo nau omi mo kinautolu ha niʻihi naʻe heke, mo e niʻihi naʻe kui, mo e niʻihi naʻe noa, mo e niʻihi naʻe pai, pea mo ha tokolahi naʻe puke kehe: ʻo nau laku kinautolu ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, pea ne fakamoʻui kinautolu.” Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e kakaí? ʻOku hoko atu ʻe he fakamatala sio tonu ʻa Mātiú: “Pea ofo ai ʻa e kakai, heʻenau sio ki he noa ʻoku lea . . . mo e heke ʻoku ʻeveʻeva, mo e kui ʻoku ʻa: pea nau fakamaloʻia ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo Isileli.”​—Mātiu 15:​30, 31.

Fakatokangaʻi ko e faʻahinga naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sīsuú naʻe ʻikai ke filifili lelei kinautolu mei he kakaí​—ko ha kākā ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe he kau tuʻuaki kākaá. ʻI hono kehé, ko e ngaahi kāinga mo e ngaahi kaumeʻa tokolahi ʻo e faʻahinga naʻe mahakí naʻa “nau laku kinautolu ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, pea ne fakamoʻui kinautolu.” Tau toe vakai angé he taimí ni ki he niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi fakatātā pau ʻo e malava ʻa Sīsū ke faifakamoʻuí.

Ko ia, ʻe lava ke ke fakaʻuta atu ki he fiefia mo e vālau tuʻu ʻi he sio ʻa e kakaí kiate ia ʻokú ne lue holo ʻoku sió! Neongo ia, naʻe ʻikai ke fiefia ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē. ʻI he loto-mamahi ʻi hono fakaeʻa ki muʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻenau fulikivanú, naʻe holiholivale ai ha kau mēmipa ʻe niʻihi ʻo ha kulupu Siu tuʻu-ki-muʻa mo tākiekina lahi naʻe ui ko e kau Fālesí ke maʻu ha fakamoʻoni ʻo ha kākā ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻa Sīsuú. (Sione 8:​13, 42-​44; 9:​1, 6-​31) Ko ia, naʻa nau fakaʻeke ai ʻa e tangata naʻe fakamoʻuí, hoko atu ki heʻene ongo mātuʻá pea toe hoko ki he tangatá. Ka ko e ngaahi fakaʻekeʻeke ʻa e kau Fālesí naʻá ne fakamoʻoniʻi tonu ʻe ia ʻa e mana ʻa Sīsuú, ʻa ia naʻe fakaʻitaʻi ai kinautolu. ʻI he puputuʻu ʻi he mioʻi ʻa e kau mālualoi lotu ko ení, naʻe pehē tonu ai ʻe he tangata naʻe fakamoʻuí: “Talu mei muʻa ʻi muʻa kuo teʻeki ke talanoaʻia ʻo pehē, kuo fakaʻā ʻe ha taha ʻa e mata ʻo ha toko taha ne fanauʻi kui. Ka ne ʻikai ko e toko taha ia mei he ʻOtua, ne ʻikai te ne lava ha momoʻi meʻa.” (Sione 9:​32, 33) ʻI hono fakahaaʻi totonu mo pōtoʻi ko ia ʻo e tuí, naʻe “kapusi ia kituaʻā” ʻe he kau Fālesí, ʻa ia ʻoku fakahuʻunga mai ai naʻa nau tuli ʻa e tangata naʻe kui ko ení mei he sinakoké.​—Sione 9:​22, 34.

Naʻe toe “matuaki toʻoa fakamanavahē” ʻa e kau fakamoʻoni sio tonú ʻo nau pehē: “Hono ʻikai tuʻutai ʻene ngaue kotoa pe! kuo ne ngaohi ʻa e tuli ke ongo, mo e noa ke lea.”​—Maake 7:​33-​37.

Mamatea: ʻI he ʻi Kāpaneume ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe fakaofiofi atu ai ʻa e kakaí kiate ia mo ha tangata mamatea ʻokú ne tokoto ʻi ha mohenga. (Mātiu 9:2) ʻOku fakamatala ʻa e Mātiu 9 veesi 6 ki he 8 ki he meʻa naʻe hokó. Naʻe “lea [ʻa Sīsū] ki he tangata mamatea, Tuʻu, pea toʻo ho mohenga, pea mole ki ho ʻapi. Pea ne tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki hono ʻapi. Pea ʻi he sio ki ai ʻa e kakai naʻa nau manavahe; pea nau fakamalo ki he Otua, heʻene tuku ha fuʻu mafai pehe ki he tangata.” Ko e mana foki ko ení naʻe fakahoko ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú mo hono ngaahi filí. Fakatokangaʻi ko e kau ākongá, ʻi he ʻikai fakakuihi ʻe he tāufehiʻá mo e tomuʻa fehiʻá, naʻa nau “fakamalo ki he Otua” ʻi he meʻa ne nau mamata ki aí.

Mahaki: “Pea haʻu kia [Sīsū] ha kilia, ʻo ne kole mo tuʻulutui kiate ia, mo ne pehe, Ka ne ke loto ke fai, te ke lava ke fakamaʻa au. Pea langa ʻa e fatu ʻo Sisū ʻi he ʻofa, ʻo ne mafao atu hono nima ʻo ala kiate ia, mo ne pehe, ʻOku ou loto pe; ke ke maʻa koe. Pea ʻi heʻene folofola, naʻe matafi leva ʻa e kilia meiate ia.” (Maake 1:​40-​42) Fakatokangaʻi naʻe ʻikai ke mamae ʻa Sīsū ʻi heʻene fakamoʻui ʻa e tokotahá ni ka naʻá ne fai ʻi he manavaʻofa moʻoni. Fakaʻuta atu ko ha kilia koe. ʻE fēfē hoʻo ongoʻí kapau naʻe fakamoʻui koe ʻo ʻikai toe tatali mo ʻikai ha langa mei ha mahaki fakalilifu ʻa ia kuó ne fakameleʻi māmālie ho sinó peá ke hoko ai ko ha tokotaha liʻekina ʻe he sōsaietí? ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua ʻe lava ke ke mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe hoko ai ha tokotaha kilia ʻe taha naʻe fakamoʻui fakaemana ʻo “foʻohifo ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sīsū, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi kiate ia.”​—Luke 17:​12-​16.

Lavea: Ko e mana fakamuimui ʻa Sīsū ki muʻa pea puke pōpula mo tutuki iá ko ha faifakamoʻui. ʻI ha ʻoho fakavave ki he faʻahinga naʻe ʻamanaki ke nau ʻave ʻa Sīsuú, ko e ʻapositolo ko Pitá, “ʻa ia kuo maʻu heletā, naʻa ne unuhi ia, ʻo ne tāʻi ʻa e tamaioʻeiki ʻa e Taulaʻeiki-lahi, ʻo ne tuʻusi hono lauʻi telinga toʻomataʻu.” (Sione 18:​3-5, 10) Ko e fakamatala tatau ʻi he tohi Luké ʻokú ne tala mai ai kia kitautolu naʻe “ala [ʻa Sīsū] ki he lauʻi telinga, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ia.” (Luke 22:​50, 51) Ko e tōʻonga manavaʻofa ko ení naʻe toe fakahoko ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ngaahi kaumeʻa pea pehē ki he ngaahi fili ʻo Sīsuú—ʻi he tuʻunga ko ení, ko hono kau puke pōpulá.
