“Kuo Tuku Kiate Au ʻa e Mafai Kotoa Pē”

 3. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau talangofua ki he fekau ke ngaohi ākongá?

Ko ia mou ō ʻo ngaohi . . . ākonga.” Ko e foʻi lea “ko ia” ʻoku tuhu ia ki he ʻuhinga lahi ʻoku totonu ai ke tau talangofua ki he fekau ko ʻení. ʻOku peheé koeʻuhi ko Sīsū, ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e fekaú, ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e “mafai kotoa pē.” ʻOku lahi fēfē hono mafaí?

⁴ ʻOku maʻu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e mafai ki heʻene fakatahaʻangá, pea talu mei he 1914 kuó ne maʻu ʻa e mafai ki he Puleʻanga toki fokotuʻu foʻou ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Kolose 1:13; Fakahā 11:15) Ko ia ʻa e ʻāngelo-pulé pea ʻi heʻene peheé ʻoku ʻi he malumalu ʻo hono mafaí ha kau tau fakahēvani ʻo e kau ʻāngelo ʻe laui teau miliona. (1 Tesalonaika 4:16; 1 Pita 3:22; Fakahā 19:​14-16) Kuo fakamafaiʻi ia ʻe heʻene Tamaí ke ne fakaʻauha “ʻa e pule kotoa pe mo e tuʻunga kotoa pe mo e malohi” ʻa ia ʻoku fakafepaki ki he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni māʻoniʻoní. (1 Kolinito 15:​24-26; Efeso 1:​20-23) ʻOku ʻikai fakangatangata pē ʻa e mafai ʻo Sīsuú ki he kau moʻuí. ʻOkú ne toe hoko ko e “Fakamāu ʻo e kau moʻui mo e kau pekia” pea maʻu mo e mālohi kuo foaki ange ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ne fokotuʻu hake ʻa e faʻahinga kuo nau mohe ʻi he maté. (Ngāue 10:42; Sione 5:​26-28) Ko hono moʻoní, ko ha fekau ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he Tokotaha kuo tuku ki ai ha fuʻu mafai kāfakafa peheé ʻoku totonu ke fakakaukau ki ai ko e meʻa mahuʻinga māʻolunga tahá ia. Ko ia ai, ʻoku tau talangofua anga-fakaʻapaʻapa mo loto-lelei ki he fekau ʻa Kalaisi ke ‘ō ʻo ngaohi ākongá.’

 5. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e talangofua ʻa Pita ki he lea ʻa Sīsuú? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e tāpuaki naʻe iku atu ki ai ʻa e talangofua ʻa Pita ki he fakahinohino ʻa Sīsuú?

 6. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ʻe he fakamatala fekauʻaki mo e haʻo ika fakaemaná ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga talangofua ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe Sīsuú? (e) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū?

(Maake 1:​16, 17) ʻOku hā mahino, naʻe ʻikai ke fiemaʻu ʻe Sīsū ha talangofua noa pē. Naʻá ne ʻoange ki he kau tangatá ha ʻuhinga fakatupu tuipau ki he ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ke nau talangofua ai kiate iá. Hangē ko e talangofua ki he fekau ʻa Sīsū ke tuku hifo ʻenau kupengá ʻo iku ai ki ha ngaahi ola fakatupu moʻutāfuʻuá, ʻoku pehē pē ʻa e talangofua ki he fekau ʻa Sīsū ke ‘pō tangatá’ ʻe iku ia ki he ngaahi tāpuaki lahi. ʻI he tui kakató, naʻe tali ʻe he kau ʻapositoló. ʻOku fakaʻosiʻaki ʻa e fakamatalá: “Kuo nau ʻomi ʻa e ongo vaka ki ʻuta, naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pe ʻo muimui kiate ia.” (Luke 5:11) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻi heʻetau fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke kau ki he ngāue ʻo e ngaohi ākongá, ʻoku tau faʻifaʻitaki ai kia Sīsū. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau fiemaʻu ke fai pē ʻe he kakaí ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau tala atu kiate kinautolú, ka ʻoku tau ʻoatu kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga fakatupu tuipau ke talangofua ai ki he fekau ʻa Kalaisí.

Lolotonga ʻo ʻetau ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻoku tau feʻao ai mo hotau ongo Kaumeʻa lelei tahá.”—2 Kolinito 2:17.b
