Ko e Hā ʻOku Tuku Tauhi Mai ʻi he Kahaʻú ki he Lotu Faka-Kalisitiané?
ʻE FAKATAFOKIʻI ʻa e māmaní ki he lotu faka-Kalisitiané, pe ʻe mole ʻosi ʻa e lotu faka-Kalisitiané? Naʻe hanganaki maʻa ʻa e lotu faka-Kalisitiané ʻi hono tuʻunga ko ha maama ʻi ha māmani fakapoʻulí, pe naʻe ʻuliʻi ia? Ko e ongo fehuʻi eni ʻoku tau tokanga ki ai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni.
ʻI hono ngāueʻaki ha fakatātā faingofuá, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he hili pē ʻene tō ʻa e tenga ʻo e lotu faka-Kalisitiané, ʻe kaunoaʻia mai ki ai ʻa e fili ko Sētané. (Mātiu 13:24, 25) Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻikai ko ha meʻa fakasōsiale pē ia ʻoku hoko naʻe fakatupunga ai ke liliu ʻa e lotu faka-Kalisitiané lolotonga ʻa e ʻuluaki ngaahi senituli hili e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Sīsuú. Ko e ngāue ia ʻa e filí, ngāue ʻa Sētane. ʻI he ʻahó ni ʻoku hokohoko atu pē ʻe he ngaahi siasi ʻo e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané ʻa e ngaahi fehālaaki naʻe fai he kuohilí pea ʻoku nau utu hono ngaahi nunuʻá.—2 Kolinito 11:14, 15; Semisi 4:4.
Ko ha ʻOhofi Fakaoloolo ʻo e Lotu Faka-Kalisitiané
Naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe Sīsū ko ʻene ngaahi akonakí ʻe mioʻi. Naʻá ne pehē: “Kuo hoko ʻo tatau ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani pea mo ha tangata naʻe tūtūʻi tenga lelei ʻi heʻene ngoue: pea lolotonga naʻe mohe ʻa e kau tangata, naʻe haʻu hono fili, ʻo ne toe tūtūʻi ha tea ʻi he ngāhi vahavahaʻi uite, ʻo ne ʻalu.” ʻOku fakaʻohovalé, ʻi hono fakahaaʻi ʻe he kau sevānití ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he tangatá ʻa e ngāue koví pea kole ke fakangofua mai ke nau tufi ʻa e teá, naʻe tala ange ʻe he tangatá: “ʻOua; naʻa ʻiloange ʻi hoʻomou tufi ʻa e tea, pea mou taʻaki fakataha mo ia ʻa e uite foki. Tuku pe ke na tupu fakataha ʻo aʻu ki he ututaʻu: pea ka hoko ʻa e ututaʻu te u lea ki he kau tuʻusi, ʻE, mou tanaki muʻa ʻa e tea, pea noʻoʻū ke tutu: kae fetuku ʻa e uite ki he feleoko oʻoku.”—Mātiu 13:24-30.
Hangē ko ia naʻe fakamatalaʻi tonu ʻe Sīsuú, ʻi heʻene talanoa fakatātaá ko e tangata naʻá ne tūtuuʻi ʻa e uite ʻi he ngoué ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa Sīsū, pea ko e tenga naʻá ne toó ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní. Ko e fili naʻá ne tūtuuʻi ʻa e teá ʻi he uité ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e “Tevolo.” ʻOku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he teá ʻa e kau tangata maumau-lao tafoki mei he moʻoní ʻa ia ʻoku nau taukaveʻi loi ko e kau sevāniti kinautolu ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Mātiu 13:36-42) Naʻe ʻomai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e ngaahi fakaikiiki lahi ange ʻo e meʻa ʻe hokó. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku ou ʻilo, ʻo ka hili ʻeku hokosi, ʻe hu atu ha fanga ulofi anga malohi, ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai te nau mamae ki he fanga sipi. ʻIo, naʻa mo kimoutolu ʻe tupu mei ai ha kau tangata ʻoku leaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻalu kehe, ke tohoaki ʻaki ʻa e kau ako ke muimui kiate kinautolu.”—Ngāue 20:29, 30.
Mioʻi ʻa e Lotu Faka-Kalisitiané
Naʻe hoko ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ʻa Sīsuú mo e meʻa naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe Paulá? Naʻe hoko moʻoni ia. Naʻe puleʻi ʻe he kau tangata kumi tuʻunga ʻa e fakatahaʻanga naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsuú pea ngāueʻaki ia ki heʻenau ngaahi taumuʻa pē ʻanautolu. Naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki hono kau muimuí: “[ʻOku] ʻikai ʻo māmani ʻa kimoutolu.” (Sione 15:19) Ka neongo ia, ko e kau tangata fiemaʻu mafaí naʻa nau fakahoko ha fepikitaki mo e kau pulé pea faʻu ai ha ngaahi siasi fakapuleʻanga naʻe fakatahatahaʻi ai ʻa e mafai mo e koloa lahi fakaʻulia. Ko e ngaahi siasí ni naʻa nau akoʻi “ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻalu kehe.” Ko e fakatātaá, naʻa nau akoʻi ʻa e kakaí ke nau lotu ki he Puleʻangá pea ke feilaulauʻi ʻenau moʻuí maʻá e Puleʻangá ʻi he taú. Ko ia ai, naʻe kau ʻa e kau Kalisitiane lau peé ʻi he ngaahi tau Kaluseti pea tāmateʻi ai ʻa e kakai ʻa ia ne nau pehē ko e kau taʻetuí. Naʻa nau toe kau he taú pea tāmateʻi ʻa honau “fanga tokoua” tonu ʻi he lotu tatau. Naʻe ʻikai moʻoni te nau fai ʻa e tuʻu-ʻatā faka-Kalisitiané mo e ʻofa ki he kaungāʻapí.—Mātiu 22:37-39; Sione 15:19; 2 Kolinito 10:3-5; 1 Sione 4:8, 11.
ʻOku hā mahino, ko e ngaahi siasi ʻa ia kuo nau ui kinautolu ʻi he laui senituli ko e Kalisitiané ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi pē ha tuʻunga loi ʻo e lotu faka-Kalisitiané. Hangē ko ia naʻa tau vakai ki ai ʻi he ongo kupu ki muʻá, ʻoku fakamatalaʻi heni ʻa e ʻuhingá, ʻoku ʻi ai ai ha hehema hokohoko ʻa e ngaahi siasí ke mapakipaki ki he fanga kiʻi lotu mavahe, kaunoaʻia ʻa e ngaahi siasí ʻi he politikí pea taʻetokaʻi ʻe he ngaahi siasí ʻa e ngaahi lao ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko e fua kovi peheé ko e tupu ia, ʻo ʻikai mei he lotu faka-Kalisitiane moʻoní, ka ko e lotu faka-Kalisitiane loi ʻa ia naʻe tūtuuʻi ʻe he Tēvoló. Ko e huʻu ki fē ʻa e lotu loi ko ení? Hangē ko ia naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi heʻene talanoa fakatātaá, heʻikai ke mate pē ia ʻi he ʻikai poupouʻí. ʻE fakamāuʻi ia pea fakaʻauha.
Ulo ʻa e Kau Kalisitiane Moʻoní ʻi he Fakapoʻulí
Kae kehe, ki muʻa ke tufi ʻo fakaʻauha ʻa e “tea” ko e lotu faka-Kalisitiane loí, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻi he talanoa fakatātā ʻa Sīsuú ʻa e meʻa kehe kuo pau ke hoko. ʻI he laui senituli naʻe fuʻu lahi ʻa e tupu ʻa e “tea” ko e Kalisitiane loí ʻo meimei fakapuliki ʻosi ai ʻa e “uite” ko e lotu faka-Kalisitiane moʻoní. Ka naʻe fakamatala ʻa Sīsū ki hono fakamavaheʻi ʻo e uité mei he teá lolotonga ʻa e “ututaʻu,” ʻa ia naʻá ne pehē ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e “fakaʻosi ʻo e kuonga.” Naʻá ne toe pehē: “Kae toki hoʻata mai ʻa e kau failelei ʻo hange ko e laʻa.” (Mātiu 13:39-43) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻi he fakamoʻoní kuo tau moʻui ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻo e kuongá talu mei he Tau I ʻa Māmaní, ʻa ia naʻe hoko laka hake he taʻu ʻe 90 kuo maliu atú. (Mātiu 24:3, 7-12) Kuo toe hoko moʻoni ʻa e konga ko eni ʻo e talanoa fakatātā fakaekikite ʻa Sīsuú?
Kuo fakamavaheʻi ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní mei he “tea” ko e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané. Ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻoku nau ulo ‘hoʻata ʻo hange ko e laʻaá,’ ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoni ko Sihová. Ko e Kau Fakamoʻoní ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamāʻulaloʻi ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻungá. ʻI hono kehé, ko e kakai ʻoku nau hoko ko e Kau Fakamoʻoní ʻoku faʻa pau ke nau fai ha ngaahi liliu lahi ʻi heʻenau founga moʻuí ke talangofua ki he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni faka-Kalisitiane ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Tohi Tapú.
Ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻoku ʻikai te nau fai ha fakafiefia ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakatahá, ka ʻoku nau tuʻuaki ha ako Tohi Tapu taʻetotongi. ʻOku nau toe vahevahe ʻa e ʻofa māfana mo e anga-fakakaumeʻa, ko e ngaahi ʻulungāanga ʻoku nau maʻu mei heʻenau ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú. ʻOku nau tui ʻe liliu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e foʻi māmaní ki ha palataisi pea ʻai ia ke nofoʻi ʻe he kau anga-vaivai ʻo e māmaní, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ne muʻaki fakataumuʻá. Ka kuo pau ke muʻaki fakamaʻa ʻa e māmaní mei he ngaahi tākiekina kovi ʻa e lotu loí, ʻoku ʻiloa he Tohi Tapú ko Pāpilone ko e Lahi. Fakatatau ki he kikite ʻa e Tohi Tapú, ʻe vavé ni ke fakahoko mai ʻe Sihova ʻa e liliu lahi ko iá.—Mātiu 5:5; Fakahā 18:9-10, 21.
ʻI hono fakatauʻatāinaʻi pē ʻa e faʻahinga talangofua ʻo e tangatá mei he ngaahi tōʻonga kākā ʻa e lotu loí, ʻe fakafāʻūtahaʻi leva ʻe he lotu moʻoni faka-Kalisitiané ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku moʻui ʻi he māmaní. Ko ha kahaʻu fakaofo moʻoni ia ki he lotu faka-Kalisitiane moʻoni naʻe tūtuuʻi ʻe Sīsuú! ʻE toe fakafoki mai ʻa e Palataisi naʻe ʻi ʻĪtení ki ha māmani melino, ʻoku ʻikai ha ngaahi lotu māvahevahe ke toe tūtuuʻi ai ʻa e fekeʻikeʻí!
