Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Ngāue ʻaki ʻa e Tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí

Jesus Christ can help me do all things as I exercise faith in Him.

ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi au ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke u fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi heʻeku ngāue ʻaki ʻa e tui kiate Iá.

Naʻe heka e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi ha vaka. Naʻe mālohi ʻa e havilí, pea māʻolunga mo e ngaahi peaú. Lolotonga ʻení, naʻa nau mamata kia Sīsū ʻoku hāʻele mai he fukahi vaí kiate kinautolu. Naʻe kole ʻe Pita kia Sīsū, ko e taha ʻo ʻEne kau ākongá, pe te ne lava ʻo lue atu ke Na fetaulaki ʻi he fukahi vaí. Naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa Pita ke ne fakahoko ʻa e meʻa ne ngali taʻemalavá.

ʻOku talamai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko aí: “Pea ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Pita mei he vaká, naʻe ʻeveʻeva ia ʻi he tahí, ke ʻalu atu kia Sīsū.

“Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku mālohi ʻa e matangí, naʻe manavahē ia; pea kamata ngalo hifo, pea tangi ia, ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, fakamoʻui au.

“Pea mafao leva ‘a e nima ‘o Sīsuú, ‘o ne puke ia, ‘o ne pehē ki ai, ‘A koe ‘oku siʻi hoʻo tuí, ko e hā ‘okú ke fakataʻetaʻetui aí?” (Mātiu 14:29–31).

ʻI he kamatá, naʻe ngāue ʻa Pita ʻi he tui, pea naʻe fakaofo ʻene kamata lue ʻi he fukahi vaí. Ka ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻo sio kia Sīsū mo kamata sio ki he matangí, naʻe kamata ke ne ngoto hifo. Hangē ko Pitá, kapau te ke tokanga taha ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ke manavahē aí, mahalo te ke loto-foʻi. Ka te ke lava ʻo tokanga taha kia Sīsū. ʻE ngali taʻemalava hono ako ha lea fakafonua foʻoú. Falala ʻe lava ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo tokoniʻi koe ke ke fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ngali taʻemalavá.
