Naʻe fakahoko ha ʻaʻahi pehē ki he Tuʻi ko Penisimaní. Naʻá ne vahevahe mo hono kakaí ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻa e ʻāngeló kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ngaahi meʻa ʻe aʻusia ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, pea mo e moʻoni ʻoku toki maʻu pē ʻa e fakamoʻuí ʻi he huafa ʻo Kalaisí. ʻE lava ke tokoni e lēsoni ko ʻení ke mahino kiate koe ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi kae lava ke fakamoʻui koé.

• Te ke lava nai ʻo fakakaukau ki ha ngaahi taimi naʻe haʻu ai ha kau ʻāngelo ki he māmaní ke fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisi?

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe he Tuʻi ko Penisimaní ʻi heʻene malanga ki hono kakaí ʻi he Mōsaia 3:1–17, ha niʻihi ʻo e pōpoaki ʻa e ʻāngeló.

Naʻe ʻikai ngata pē hono fakahaofi kitautolu ʻe hotau ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻi Heʻene meʻaʻofa taʻe-mafakatataua ʻo ʻEne Fakaleleí, mei he maté ka naʻá Ne foaki mai, tuʻunga ʻi he fakatomalá, ha fakamolemole ʻo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá, mo tuʻu mateuteu foki ke fakahaofi kitautolu mei he faingataʻaʻia mo e mamahi ʻo hotau laumālie kuo kafó. (Neil L. Andersen, “Kuo Kafo,” Liahona, Nōvema 2018, 85)

Fakakaukau ki he meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fakahaofi koe mei aí. ʻOku ʻi ai nai ha ngaahi angahala ʻokú ke fāifeinga ke ikunaʻi? ʻOku ʻi ai nai ha ngaahi mamahi pe faingataʻa ʻokú ke aʻusia? ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e Mōsaia 3, fekumi ki ha ueʻi fakalaumālie ʻo fakafou ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e founga te ke lava ai ʻo maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻui ʻoku ʻomi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisí.

Mōsaia 3:7. Ko e hā e lahi ʻo e mamahi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi kae lava ke fakamoʻui aú?

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Sēmisi E. Talamesi (1862–1933) ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá:

Naʻá Ne fefaʻuhi mo toʻe koeʻuhí ko ha faʻahinga kavenga he ʻikai lava ʻe ha taha kuo moʻui he māmaní ʻo fakakaukau ʻe malava. Naʻe ʻikai ko e mamahi fakaesino pe fakaʻatamaí pē naʻe tupunga ai ʻEne kātakiʻi ʻa e fuʻu mamahi ko iá ʻo iku ke tafe ai ʻa e taʻataʻá mei he ava kotoa Hono kilí; ka ko ha mamahi fakalaumālie fau ʻo e lotó ʻa ia ko e ʻOtuá pē naʻá Ne lava ke aʻusiá. … Naʻe aʻusia pea ikunaʻi ʻe Kalaisi ʻi he houa ko ia ʻo e mamahí, ʻa e meʻa fakalilifu kotoa pē ʻe lava ke fai ʻe Sētané, “ko e ʻeiki ʻo e māmaní” [Sione 14:30]. …

Naʻe toʻo ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kiate Ia, ʻi ha founga moʻoni mo fakamamahi neongo ʻoku ʻikai mahino ki he tangatá, ʻa e kavenga ʻo e ngaahi angahala ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá meia ʻĀtama ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo e māmaní. (James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, 3rd ed. [1916], 613)

Mōsaia 3:8. Ko e hā naʻe ʻaloʻi ai ia ʻi ha tamai taʻe-faʻa-mate mo ha faʻē fakamatelié?

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe ʻEletā Lopeti D. Heili (1932–2017) ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē:

Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ko Sīsū Kalaisi, pea ko Ia tokotaha pē, ʻokú Ne lava ʻo fai e fakalelei maʻá e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní? …

Ko e Sīsū Kalaisi pē taha te Ne lava ʻo fakahoko e feilaulau fakaleleí—tuʻunga ʻi hono ʻaloʻi Ia ʻi ha faʻē fakamatelié, ʻa Mele, mo ʻEne maʻu e mālohi ʻo e moʻuí mei Heʻene Tamaí (vakai, Sione 5:26 ). Tuʻunga ʻi he mālohi ko ʻeni ʻo e moʻuí, naʻá Ne ikunaʻi ai ʻa e maté, ʻo fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ai ʻa e mālohi ʻo faʻitoká, peá Ne hoko ko hotau Fakamoʻui mo e Fakalaloa pea mo e ʻEiki ʻo e Toetuʻú—ko e founga ia ʻoku foaki ai kiate kitautolu kotoa ʻa e fakamoʻuí mo e moʻui taʻe-faʻamaté. Te tau toetu‘u kotoa pea hoko ʻo taʻe-fa‘a-mate tuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau fakalelei ‘a Sīsū Kalaisí. (Robert D. Hales, “Ko e Fakalelei ʻa e Fakamoʻuí: Ko e Fakavaʻe ʻo e Tui Faka-Kalisitiane Moʻoní,” Liahona, ʻEpeleli 2017, 23)

Ko e hā ʻa e fatongia ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he fakatomalá, pea ko e hā hoku fatongiá?

Naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻEletā Tieta F. ʻUkitofa ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē:

ʻOku ʻikai ko e fakatomalá pē ʻokú ne fakahaofi ʻa e tangatá. Ko e taʻataʻa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻokú ne fakahaofi kitautolú. ʻOku ʻikai ko ʻetau liliu fakamātoato mo moʻoni pē ʻo e ʻulungāngá ʻe fakamoʻui ai kitautolú, ka “ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa [hotau] fakamoʻuí, ʻo ka hili [ʻetau] fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻe ala faí” (2 Nīfai 25:23). Ka, ko e fakatomala moʻoní, ko e meʻa ia ʻoku fiemaʻu kae lava ke hoko mai ʻa e fakamolemole ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻetau moʻuí. (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Point of Safe Return,” Liahona, May 2007, 100)

Te u aʻusia fēfē ʻa e fiefiá ʻi he fakatomalá?

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Teili G. Lenilani ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē:

ʻOku ou fakaafeʻi kimoutolu ke mou ongoʻi ha fiefia lahi ange ʻi hoʻomou moʻuí: fiefia ʻi he ʻilo ʻoku hoko moʻoni e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí; fiefia ʻi he malava, finangalo, mo e fie fakamolemole ʻa e Fakamoʻuí; pea fiefia ʻi he fili ke fakatomalá. Tau muimui muʻa he fakahinohino ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke “ʻutu ʻa e vaí ʻi he fiefia mei he ngaahi matavai ʻo e moʻuí” [ʻĪsaia 12:3]. ʻOfa te tau fili ke fakatomala, siʻaki ʻetau angahalá, pea liliu hotau lotó mo e fakakaukaú ke muimui ki hotau Fakamoʻuí. (Dale G. Renlund, “Fakatomala: Ko ha Fili Fakafiefia,” Liahona, Nōvema 2016, 124)
