ʻOku fakatupunga ʻe he maté ʻa e langa mo e loto-mamahi lahi. Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku ui ai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e maté ko ha fili. (1 Kolinitō 15:26) ʻI he Lēsoni 27, naʻá ke ako ai ʻe ikunaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e fili ko iá. Ka ko e hā ʻe hoko ki he kakai kuo nau ʻosi maté? ʻI he lēsoni ko ení, te ke ako lahi ange ai ki ha toe talaʻofa fakaofo ʻa Sihova. Te ne fakafoki mai ʻa e laui piliona ke moʻui fiefia ʻo taʻengata. Te ne fokotuʻu hake kinautolu! ʻE hoko moʻoni ia? ʻE fokotuʻu hake kinautolu ke nau moʻui ʻi hēvani pe ʻi he māmaní?

1. Ko e hā ʻoku loto ʻa Sihova ke ne fai ki hotau ngaahi ʻofaʻanga kuo maté?

ʻOku fakaʻamu ʻa Sihova ke toe fakafoki mai ʻa e kakai maté ki he moʻuí. Ko ha tangata ʻo e tuí ko Siope, naʻá ne tuipau heʻikai ke ngalo ia ʻi he ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi te ne mate aí. Naʻá ne pehē ki he ʻOtuá: “Te ke ui, pea te u tali atu kiate koe” mei he Faʻitoká.​—Lau ʻa e Siope 14:13-15.

2. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻetau ʻilo ʻe toe fokotuʻu mai ʻa e kau maté?

ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻi māmani ai ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate ia ʻa e mālohi ke fokotuʻu hake ʻa e kakaí. Naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe Sīsū ha taʻahine taʻu 12 mo e foha ʻo ha uitou. (Maʻake 5:41, 42; Luke 7:12-15) Ki mui aí, naʻe mate ʻa e kaumeʻa ʻo Sīsū, ko Lāsalosí. Neongo naʻe mate ʻa Lāsalosi pea tanu ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fā, naʻe toe fakamoʻui hake ia ʻe Sīsū. Naʻe lotu ʻa Sīsū ki he ʻOtuá peá ne kalanga atu: “Lāsalosi, hū mai ki tuʻa!” Pea “naʻe hū mai leva ki tuʻa ʻa e tangata naʻe maté.” Naʻe moʻui ʻa Lāsalosi! (Sione 11:43, 44) Sioloto atu ki he fiefia ʻa e fāmili mo e ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻo Lāsalosí!

3. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻamanaki ki ho ngaahi ʻofaʻanga kuo nau maté?

ʻOku talaʻofa ʻa e Tohi Tapú: ʻE ʻi ai ha toetuʻu. (Ngāue 24:15) Ko e faʻahinga naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe Sīsū ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ʻi māmani aí, naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻalu ki hēvani. (Sione 3:13) Naʻa nau fiefia pē ʻi hono fokotuʻu hake kinautolu ʻi heni ʻi he māmaní. ʻE pehē pē ʻa e vavé ni ke fokotuʻu hake ʻe Sīsū ʻa e laui piliona ke fiefia ʻi he moʻui taʻengata ʻi ha māmani palataisi. Naʻá ne pehē “ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻi he ngaahi fonualoto fakamanatú” ʻe fokotuʻu mai, naʻa mo e faʻahinga ʻoku tau fakakaukau nai ʻoku ngaló, ʻa ia ʻoku nau ʻi he manatu ʻa e ʻOtuá.​—Sione 5:28, 29.
