Ka, ko e hā naʻe leaʻaki ʻe he kau taki lotú? ʻOku fakahā ʻi he Sione 9:16: “Pea lea ai ha niʻihi ʻo e kau Fālesi [ʻo kau kia Sīsū], ʻo pehē, Talaʻehai ko ha tangata ia mei he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai te ne tauhi ʻa e Sāpate.” Ko ha pikoʻi lahi ē honau lotó! Naʻe fai ha fakamoʻui fakaofo, ka ʻi he ʻikai ke fakahā ha fiefia fekauʻaki mo e tangata kui ki muʻá mo ha houngaʻia ki he toko taha fai fakamoʻuí, naʻa nau fakahalaiaʻi ʻa Sīsū! ʻI heʻenau fai peheé, naʻa nau angahala nai ai ki he fakahāhā ʻo e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko ha angahala taʻe ala fakamolemoleʻi.—Mātiu 12:31, 32.
4 Ki mui mai, ʻi hono fakafehuʻi ʻe he kau mālualoi ko iá ʻa e tangata naʻe kuí ʻo fekauʻaki mo Sīsū, naʻe pehē ʻe he tangatá: “Tā ko e toki meʻa tofo ʻeni! ʻa e ʻikai ʻilo ʻe kimoutolu pē ʻoku mei fē ia [Sīsū], ʻosi koeni kuo ne fakaʻā hoku pokoʻi mata ni! ʻOku tau lāuʻilo, ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ʻikai te ne tali ha kakai ʻoku angahala: kae ʻilonga ʻa ia ʻoku aʻapa ki he ʻOtua, mo fai hono finangalo, ʻoku ne talia ha toko taha pehē.

Kae kehe, fakatokangaʻi muʻa ʻa e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he kau taki lotú. “Ko ia naʻe hanga ai ʻa e houʻeiki taulaʻeiki mo e kau Falesi, ʻo nau fai ha fakataha, ʻo nau pehē, Ko e ha muʻa ʻoku tau fai? he ko e tangata ni ko e meʻa ngei ʻene fai mana.

Pea ka ai haʻanau ngaue ʻoku fai, ko e fai pe ke mātā ʻe he kakai.”—Mātiu 23:4, 5.
8. ʻI he kehe ʻaupito mei he kau mālualoi fakalotú, ko e hā ʻa e anga ʻo e fakakaukau naʻe maʻu ʻe Sīsuú?
8 Ko hono kehe ʻaupitó, fakatokangaʻi ʻa e anga ʻo e fakakaukau manavaʻofa ʻa Sīsuú: “Pea ʻi heʻene sio ki he ngāhi fuʻu kakai, naʻe langa hono fatu ʻi he ʻofa kiate kinautolu: he naʻa nau nofo ongosia mo tukuhāusia, ʻo hange ko ha fanga sipi taʻe hanau tauhi.” (Mātiu 9:36) Pea ko e hā naʻá ne fai ki aí? Naʻá ne pehē ki he faʻahinga naʻe ngaohi kākaaʻi ʻe he tuʻunga ʻo Sētané: “Haʻu kiate au, ʻa kimoutolu kotoa pe ʻoku fakaongosia mo māfasia, pea te u fakamālōlō kimoutolu. ʻAi ʻeku ioke kiate kimoutolu, pea mou ako ʻiate au: he ʻoku ou faʻa kataki mo angafākatuʻa, pea te mou ʻilo ha mālōlō ʻi homou laumalie.

Te ne hanga leva ai ʻo vaheʻi “ʻa e fanga sipi” mei he “fanga kosi.” (Mātiu 25:31-33; Sāme 110:1, 2) Naʻe hoko ʻa e taimi ko iá ʻi he kamata ʻa e “kuonga fakamui” ʻi he 1914.

Pea ko hai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻi he ʻahó ni ʻoku nau muimui ʻi he maama ʻoku haʻu mei he ʻOtuá mo Kalaisí? Ko hai ia ʻoku nau fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fakahā ʻi he Filipai 2:15, ʻo “ulo . . . ko e ngaahi maamaʻanga ʻi mamani,” ʻo nau fakaafeʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau ‘haʻu ʻo maʻu taʻe totongi ʻa e vai ʻo e moʻui’?—Fakahā 22:17.
