Anamɔn a odzi kan wɔ yɛbɛka Christ do nye yɛbɛyɛ setsie ama dza Ɔakyerɛ dɛ ɔyɛ “mbra no mu asɛnkɛse no”:
“Dɔ Ewuradze wo Nyankopɔn, wɔ w’akoma nyina mu, nye wo kra nyina mu, nye w’adwen nyina mu.
“Iyi nye mbra no mu asɛnkɛse a odzi kan na ɔsõ.
“Na dza otsĩa ebien no a ɔtse dɛ ɔno nye dɛ, Dɔ wo nyɛnko dɛ wankasa woho.”
“Mbransɛm ebien yi do na mbra na nkɔnhyɛfo no nyina sɛn.”
Nyankopɔn ne mbrasɛm ma hɛn abrabɔ mu kwankyerɛ na bambɔ ahoɔdzen. Hɛn sũahu horow wɔ ɔnnkyebo abrabɔ yi mu yi tse dɛ banyimba kakraba na n’egya a wɔrotow kite da a mframa robɔ kɛse.

Dɛm ahoma tsitsir no gyina hɔ ma ahyɛmu horow a ɔnye hɛn fam Nyankopɔn, hɛn Ɔsor Egya, na Ne Ba, Jesus Christ ho. Ber a yedzi Hɔn mbrasɛm do na yedzi Hɔn nkwagye nhyehyɛɛ do dze dzi dɛm ahyɛmu no nyi no, Hɔn nhyira horow a Wɔabɔ ho anohoba no ma yetum kɔ sor kɔ celestial ɔsorsor.
Mormon Nwoma no taa paa mu kã dɛ Christ nye “wiadze kan no.” Ber a Opue Nephifo mu no, Ewuradze a Ɔasoɛr no kãa kyerɛ hɔn dɛ: “Mayɛ fasusu ama hom,” dze kyerɛkyerɛɛ dɛm nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu. “Emi nye kandzea a hom bɛma do no—dza hom hun me dɛ meyɛɛ no.” Ɔno nye hɛn fasusu pa no. Yesũa dza Ɔakã na Ɔayɛ ber a yerusũa kyerɛwsɛm no na yeridzi nkɔnhyɛfo nkyerɛkyerɛ do, dɛ ma President Russell M. Nelson etu hɛn fo dɛ yɛnyɛ no. Sacrament ayɛdze mu no, yedzi ahyɛmu ahomgyeda kor biara dɛ “yɛbɛkaa no aber nyina na yedzi ne mbrasɛm do.”

Mormon Nwoma mu no, Ewuradze maa hɛn dza Ɔfrɛ no “Christ ne nkyerɛkyerɛ” n’ahyɛsedze. Iyinom nye gyedzi wɔ Ewuradze Jesus Christ mu, nnuho, enuma, eregye Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn akyɛdze, eretsim ekodu ewie, na ereyɛ dɛ abofra, a ɔkyerɛ dɛ ebɔtwer Ewuradze na egyaa woho ama dza Ɔrohwehwɛ efi hɛn hɔ.
Ewuradze ne mbrasɛm gu mu ahorow ebien: dza otsim hɔ, tse dɛ Christ ne nkyerɛkyerɛ, na mber tsiabaa dze. Mber tsiabaa mbrasɛm nye ma ohia ma Ewuradze N’Asɔr anaa anokwafo hɔn ehiadze wɔ gyinabew bi mu, naaso wɔdze bɔto nkyɛn sɛ ehiadze no etwa mu a. Mber tsiabaa mbrasɛm ne mfatoho nye Ewuradze n’akwankyerɛ ma Asɔr baanodzifo dɛ wontu Ahotseweefo no mfi New York nkɔ Ohio, nkɔ Missouri, na nkɔ Illinois, na ewiei no, wondzi edzikamfo no enyim ntu nkɔ Anee Mbepɔw afamu. Nna ɔyɛ mber tsiabaa dze, naaso wɔdze mbrasɛm maa dɛ wondzi do wɔ ne ber mu.
Mbrasɛm a otsim binom wɔ hɔ a woedzi mber ara yie dɛ asɔrmba dodow bedzi do. Mfatoho, President Lorenzo Snow n’asɛnkã wɔ ebupɛn du ho mbra a ɔayɛ atsenkã no, tsĩi mbrasɛm a wɔdze ama dadaw mu a, nna Asɔrmba dodowara nndzi do.

Dza ɔkã iyinom ho nye ebusua mpaamukã a President Gordon B. Hinckley dze too gua ebusuasantsen kor a abasen kɔ no, na President Russell M. Nelson ne ndaansa yi ɔfrɛ dɛ wɔdze Asɔr no dzin a oeyi akyerɛ, Jesus Christ N’Asɔr a ɔwɔ hɔ Ma Nda a Odzi Ekyir Ahotseweefo no, bɛfrɛ no.

Agyenkwa no ne nkyerɛkyerɛ kor so yɛ dɛ ohia dɛ wotsĩ mu bio ɔnam hɛn gyinabew ndɛ.
Iyi yɛ mber a kasadzen na ano yaayaw wɔ guado nkitahodzi mu na ɔtɔfabi a hɛn ebusua ebusua mu mpo. Nsonsonoee a ɔda bagua mu nhyehyɛɛ mu nsɛm taa ndzeyɛɛ begyabegya—ɔtan mpo—ba wɔ bagua na ankorankor nkitahodzi mu. Enyitan ehoo yi ɔtɔfabi a ɔkyekyer mbrayɛfo hɔn tum wɔ nsɛm a ohia tsitsir ho a ɔmamfo dodow ara hu dɛ ohia anamɔntu bi a ɔbɔboa ɔmamfo.
Ebɛnadze na ɔsɛ dɛ Christ akadofo kyerɛkyerɛ na wɔyɛ wɔ nkitahodzi yerɛwyerɛw ber yi mu? Nna Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ na fasusu tse dɛn?
Ɔyɛ adze tsitsir dɛ dza ɔkã fapem a odzi kan ho a Jesus kyerɛkyerɛɛ ber a Opue Nephifo do no, nye dɛ wobokwetsir wentwiwentwi. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ iyi wɔ ekyingye wɔ nyamesom nkyerɛkyerɛ ho dze, naaso siantsir horow a Ɔmaa no fa kasa na nkitahodzi wɔ amanyɛsɛm, bagua mu nhyehyɛɛ, na ebusua nkitahodzi ho koraa. Jesus kyerɛkyerɛɛ dɛ:
“Obiara a wentwiwentwi sunsum wɔ no mu no nnyɛ medze, mbom ɔyɛ abɔnsam dze, ɔno nye wentwiwentwi n’egya, na onunu nyimpa hɔn akoma ma wɔdze ebufuw dzi aper.
“Hwɛ, iyi nnyɛ me nkyerɛkyerɛ, dɛ medze ebufuw bonunu adasa hɔn akoma ma woetsia hɔnho; mbom iyi nye me nkyerɛkyerɛ, dɛ hom nyi dɛm ndzɛmba yi akwa.”
No somdwuma nkaa no wɔ Nephifo mu no, Jesus kyerɛkyerɛɛ mbrasɛm binom so a ɔbɛn wentwiwentwi a Ɔbra ho no. Yenyim fi Bible mu dɛ nna Oedzi kan akyerɛkyerɛ iyinom kor biara wɔ Ne Bepɔw no do Nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɔayɛ atsenkã, wɔ nsɛm kor noara a ekyir no Ɔkãa kyerɛɛ Nephifo no. Mebɛserɛ akã Bible mu kasa a yenyim no.
“Hom ndodɔ hom atamfo, hom nhyira hɔn a wɔkã hom ndom, hom nyɛ papa mma hɔn a wɔtan hom, na hom nsɔr mma hɔn a wobu hom enyimtsia na wɔtseetsee hom.”
Iyi nye Christ ne mbrasɛm a wonyim no yie—ɔyɛ adze fofor koraa na ɔyɛ dzen dɛ ibedzi do. Naaso ɔyɛ Ne nsato ma hɛn nyina dɛ yɛnka No do no ne fapemdze ankasa. Dɛ mbrɛ President David O. McKay kyerɛkyerɛɛ no, “Kwan pa biara nnyi hɔ a ɔkyerɛ hɛn dɔ ma Nyame nnkyɛn yɛkyerɛ etuhoakyɛ dɔ ma hɛn mfɛfo.”
Ɔno a Ɔyɛ hɛn fasusu Ne fapem nkyerɛkyerɛ kor so nye iyi: “Nhyira akã esiesiefo, na hɔn na wɔbɛfrɛ hɔn Nyankopɔn mba.”
Esiesiefo! Mbrɛ ankorankor nkitahodzi besi asesã sɛ Christ n’akadofo gyaa kasadzen na ano yaayaw wɔ hɔn kasaa nyina mu a.
Mfeda wiadze mfɛndzanan ehyiadzi no, President Russell M. Nelson maa hɛn taferbanyinmbɔmu yinom:
“Kwan kor a ɔyɛ mberɛw a edze botum ehu Jesus Christ osuanyi nokwafo nye ayamuhyehye kwan a ɔdze hwɛ nkorɔfo nkaa no. …
“… Jesus Christ esuafo nokwafo yɛ esiesiefo.
“… Kwan papa ara yie kor a yebotum ahyɛ Agyenkwa no enyimnyam nye yɛbɛyɛ esiesiefo.”
Oruwie ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no: “Wentwiwentwi yɛ nsanmuyi. Nsiesie edwuma yɛ nsanmuyi. Ewɔ wo pɛ dɛ ibɛsan mu eyi wentwiwentwi anaa nkabɔmu. Mutu hom fo dɛ hom nsan mu nyi dɛ hom bɛyɛ esiesiefo, sesei na daapem.”
Ekuw ekuw a woribedzi esi no wɔdɛ wɔhyɛ ase hwehwɛ dza hɔn nyina hɔn adwen saa wɔ ho.
Ama yɛaaka hɛn Fasusu a Odzi Mu na No nkɔnhyɛnyi do no, yehia dɛ yesũasũa dze Mbra Mapã no a wɔayɛ atsenkã no, dzi dwuma: “Dɛm ntsi adze biara a hom pɛ dɛ nyimpa yɛ ma hom no, hom nyɛ dɛmara so mma hɔn, na iyi nye mbra no nye nkɔnhyɛfo no.” Yehia dɛ yɛdɔ na yɛyɛ papa ma obiara. Yehia dɛ yekwetsir wentwiwentwi na yɛyɛ esiesiefo wɔ hɛn kasaa nyina mu. Iyi nnkyerɛ dɛ yebobu hɛn fapem na dza ohia hɛn kɛse do, mbom yebegyaa dɛ yebotu ahyɛ binom do yerɛwyerɛw mu wɔ dza ohia hɔn ho. Dɛm na hɛn Fasusu a Odzi Mu no yɛe wɔ No som mu. Dɛm nye fasusu a Ɔdze too hɔ maa hɛn na Ɔto nsa frɛ hɛn dɛ yɛnka No do.
Mfe anan a abasen kɔ no ehyiadzi yi mu no, President Nelson maa hɛn ndɛ nkɔnhyɛ ho taferbanyin-mbɔmu:
“Ana ipɛ dɛ ema Nyankopɔn dzi nyim wɔ w’abrabɔ mu? Ana ipɛ dɛ ema Nyankopɔn yɛ nhyɛdo tum abɔso wɔ w’abrabɔ mu? Ipɛ dɛ ema Ne nsɛm, Ne mbrasɛm, na N’ahyɛmu nya nhyɛdo wɔ wo do da biara? Ibɛpɛ dɛ ema Ne ndze kwan ma ɔbɔ adze biara do?”
Dɛ yɛyɛ Christ n’akadofo no, yɛkyerɛkyerɛ adze na yɛgye Jesus Christ, hɛn Fasusu a Odzi Mu no, ho dase. Ntsi hom mma yɛnka No do ber a yerigyaa wentwiwentwi. Ber a yɛhwehwɛ dza yɛpɛ wɔ bagua mu ndzeyɛɛ nhyehyɛɛ ho no, hom mma yɛmfa kasa na esiesiefo akwan ama yɛafata Ne nhyira horow. Hɛn ebusua ebusua mu na ankorankor nkitahodzi nkaa mu no, hom mma yenkwetsir dza ɔyɛ yerɛwyerɛw na ɔtan. Hom mma yɛhwehwɛ dɛ yɛbɛyɛ krɔnkrɔn tse dɛ hɛn Agyenkwa, ɔno Ne dzin krɔnkrɔn mu na megye dase na medze Ne nhyira ma dze aboa hɛn ma yɛabɛyɛ Ahotseweefo. Wɔ Jesus Christ ne dzin mu, amen.
