(Loma 12:3) ʻOku ʻikai faingofua ki he faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá ke fakahāhā ʻa e ʻulungaanga ko ení. Ka ʻe lava ke tau ako ke anga-fakatōkilalo kapau te tau fakalaulauloto ki he lahi ʻo Sihová pea faʻifaʻitaki ki he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú.

(Lau ʻa e Sute 9.) ʻI he tuʻunga ko Maikeli ko e ʻāngelo-pulé, ko Sīsū naʻá ne ‘fetōkehekeheʻaki mo e Tēvoló’ pea “fakakikihi” mo e tokotaha fulikivanu ko iá “fekauʻaki mo e sino ʻo Mōsesé.” Hili ʻa e mate ʻa Mōsesé, naʻe tanu ʻe Sihova hono sinó ʻi ha feituʻu ke ʻoua ʻe maʻu ia ʻe ha taha. (Teu. 34:5, 6) Mahalo naʻe loto ʻa e Tēvoló ke fakataueleʻi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e sino ʻo Mōsesé ki he lotu loí. Pe ko e hā pē ʻa e kovi naʻe loto ʻa e Tēvoló ke faí, naʻe taʻofi loto-toʻa ia ʻe Maikeli. ʻOku pehē ʻe he tohi maʻuʻanga fakamatala ʻe taha ko e foʻi lea “fetōkehekeheʻaki” mo e “fakakikihi” ʻoku toe ngāueʻaki ia ke fakamatalaʻi “ha fakakikihi fakalao” pea fakahuʻunga nai naʻe “poleʻi ʻe Maikeli ʻa e ‘totonu ʻa e Tēvoló’ ke ʻave ʻa e sino ʻo Mōsesé.” Neongo ia, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he ʻāngelo-pulé naʻe fakangatangata pē hono mafaí. Ko ia naʻá ne tuku ʻa e keisí kia Sihova, ko e Fakamaau Aoniú, ʻa e toko taha pē ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e totonu ke fakamāuʻi ʻa Sētané. He fakakaukau anga-fakatōkilaló ē naʻe fakahāhā ʻe Sīsuú!

Kuo pau ke tau hoko ʻo anga-fakatōkilalo kae lava ke tau “talangofua ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau takimuʻa” ʻi he fakatahaʻangá pea tali mo muimui ki he fakahinohino ʻa e kautaha ʻa Sihová.—Hep. 13:17.

Ko e manavaʻofá ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻo e ʻofa pea ʻoku meimei tatau ia mo e ngaahi ongoʻi hangē ko e kaungāongoʻi mo e meesi. ʻOku lave ʻa e Tohi Tapú  ki he “manavaʻofa kaungāongoʻi,” “manavaʻofa,” mo e “manavaʻofa loloto.” (Luke 1:78; 2 Kol. 1:3; Fil. 1:8) ʻOku pehē ʻe he maʻuʻanga fakamatala Fakatohitapu ʻe taha ko hono fakahāhā ʻa e manavaʻofá ʻoku fakalaka atu ia ʻi he ongoʻi fakaʻofaʻia pē ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoku masivá. ʻOku pehē ai ko e ongoʻi manavaʻofá ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ʻoku tau “tokanga feʻunga pea tokoni” ʻaki hono fai ha meʻa ʻe liliu ai ʻa e moʻui ʻa e kakai kehé ki he lelei ange. Ko e manavaʻofá ko e ʻulungaanga ia ʻokú ne ueʻi ha taha ke ne fai ha meʻa ʻe liliu ai ʻa e moʻui ʻa e niʻihi kehé.

Naʻe manavaʻofa kaungāongoʻi ʻa Sīsū ki he niʻihi kehé. ʻI he taimi naʻá ne sio ai ki he tangi hono kaungāmeʻa ko Melé mo e niʻihi kehé koeʻuhí ko e mate ʻa Lāsalosí, naʻe tangi fakataha ʻa Sīsū mo kinautolu.

Ki muʻa aí, naʻe “ongoʻi fakaʻofaʻia” ʻa Sīsū ʻi he fuʻu kakai naʻe haʻu kiate iá. Naʻe ueʻi ia ʻe heʻene manavaʻofa kaungāongoʻí ke “akoʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lahi.” (Mk. 6:34) Ko e hokosia ko ení naʻe liliu ai ʻa e moʻui ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau muimui ki heʻene ngaahi akonakí! Ko e manavaʻofa ʻa Sīsuú naʻe fakalaka atu ia ʻi ha ongoʻi pē. Ko ʻene manavaʻofá naʻe toe ueʻi ia ke ne tokoniʻi ʻa e masivá.—Māt. 15:32-38; 20:29-34; Mk. 1:40-42.

Ko e kaungāongoʻi ʻa Sīsuú naʻá ne ueʻi ia ke lea ʻi he manavaʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé, tautautefito ki he faʻahinga ngaohikoviá. ʻI he toʻo lea mei he ʻAiseá, naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Mātiú fekauʻaki mo Sīsū: “Heʻikai ha kaho ʻoku mapelu te ne laiki, pea heʻikai ha vavae maama ʻoku tamatemate te ne tāmateʻi.” (ʻAi. 42:3; Māt. 12:20) ʻOku ʻuhinga ia ki he hā? Naʻe ʻikai ke leakoviʻi pe ngaohikoviʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kakaí. ʻI hono kehé, naʻá ne lea ʻi ha founga naʻe fakaivifoʻou kia kinautolu.
