ʻOku ui ʻa e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi Hono huafá.
ʻI he kamata ke fokotuʻu ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻa Hono Siasí ʻi he fonuá kotoa, naʻe ʻohake ai ha fehuʻi, ʻa ia ne ngali hangē ia ko ha meʻa siʻi pē ki ha kakai ʻe niʻihi—ko e hā ʻa e hingoa ʻoku totonu ke ui ʻaki ʻa e Siasí?

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e hingoa ʻo Hono Siasí ʻi he kuonga ní ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 115:4. Fakalaulauloto ki he foʻi lea takitaha ʻi he hingoa ko iá. ʻOku tokoniʻi fēfē nai kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi leá ni ke tau ʻilo ko hai kitautolu, ko e hā ʻoku tau tui ki aí, pea mo e founga ʻoku totonu ke tau ngāue aí?

ʻOku langa ʻa e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi Heʻene ongoongoleleí.
Hili hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kuo pau ke “langa ʻa [Hono] Siasí ʻi [Heʻene] ongoongoleleí” (3 Nīfai 27:10), naʻá Ne fakamatalaʻi leva ʻa ʻEne ongoongoleleí. Te ke fakamatalaʻi fakanounou fēfē nai ʻa e meʻa naʻá Ne folofola ʻaki ʻi he 3 Nīfai 27:13–22? Fakatatau ki he fakaʻuhinga ko ʻení, ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ki he Siasí—pea mo koe—ke langa ʻi Heʻene ongoongoleleí?
“Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ‘oku mou fiemaʻú?”
Ko e hā te ke lea ʻaki kapau ʻe fehuʻi atu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, ʻo hangē ko ʻEne fehuʻi ki Heʻene kau ākongá, “Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku mou fiemaʻu meiate aú?” (3 Nīfai 28:1). Fakakaukau ki heni ʻi hoʻo lau ‘a e 3 Nīfai 28:1–11. Ko e hā ʻokú ke ako fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi holi ʻo e loto ʻo e kau ākongá mei heʻenau ngaahi tali ki Heʻene fehuʻí? ʻOku liliu fēfē nai hoʻo ngaahi holí ʻi hoʻo moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí?
ʻOku faʻa fakahaaʻi ʻe he ngaahi himí ʻa e ngaahi holi ʻo e lotó—ko e “Fakatapuʻi Au” ko ha sīpinga lelei ia (Ngaahi Himí, fika 64). Fakakaukau ke kumi ha himi ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi e ngaahi holi ho lotó.
Ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha fakaʻilonga ia kuo fakahoko e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní.
Fakakaukau ki ha ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻe hoko ha meʻa. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻokú ke ʻilo fēfē nai ʻe tō mai ha ʻuha pe ko e liliu ʻa e faʻahitaʻú? Fakatatau ki he 3 Nīfai 29:1–3, ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi fēfē nai “kuo kamata hono fakahoko” ʻa e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá ki hono tānaki fakataha Hono kakaí? (vakai foki, 3 Nīfai 21:1–7). Te ke lava foki ʻo fakatokangaʻi ʻi he 3 Nīfai 29:4–9, ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻe fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe he kakaí ʻi hotau kuongá. ʻOku fakamālohia fēfē nai ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná hoʻo tui ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ʻení?
Ko e muimui ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻoku iku ia ki he uouangatahá mo e fiefiá.
Naʻe mei fēfē nai ke moʻui ʻi he ngaahi taʻu hili e ʻaʻahi mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí? ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e 4 Nīfai 1:1–18, fakakaukau ke lisi ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻe maʻu ʻe he kakaí. Te ke lava foki ʻo fakaʻilongaʻi pe hiki ʻa e ngaahi fili naʻa nau faí ʻa ia naʻe tokoni ke nau maʻu ʻa e moʻui mohu tāpuekina ko ʻení. Ko e hā e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolú ʻa ia kuó ne ueʻi fakalaumālie kinautolu ki heʻenau ngaahi fili māʻoniʻoní? Ko ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻeni ʻe niʻihi, ka te ke ala maʻu mo ha ngaahi sīpinga kehe: 3 Nīfai 11:28–30; 12:8–9, 21–24, 40–44; 13:19–21, 28–33; 14:12; 18:22–25.
Fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa te ke lava ʻo fai ke tokoni ki ho fāmilí, uōtí, pe koló ke nau moʻui uouangataha mo fiefia lahi angé. Ko e hā ha meʻa te ke lava ʻo fai ke tokoni ke ikunaʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻā vahevahé pea hoko moʻoni ʻo “uouangataha” mo e fānau kehe ʻa e ʻOtuá?
