Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Ko ia kuó ne kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻangá ko e tokotaha ia ʻe fakahaofí.” (Māt. 24:13) ʻIo, ke fakaʻosi ʻetau fonongá, kuo pau ke tau hanganaki faitōnunga ki he ʻOtuá ʻo aʻu “ki he ngataʻangá,” tatau ai pē pe ko e ngataʻanga ʻetau moʻuí pe ko e ngataʻanga ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanu ko ení.

Anga-fēfē? ʻI heʻetau manavahē ke taʻefakahōifuaʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá, heʻikai ke tau fakaʻatā ai ʻa e manavahē tangatá ke ne uesia kitautolu.

(Saame 27:14) ʻOku ueʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻofa taʻesiokitá ke fakahāhā ʻa e loto-toʻa naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku fakatangaʻi ai kitautolú. (Sione 15:13) ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e loto-toʻa ʻi he falala ki he ʻOtuá pea faʻifaʻitaki ki hono ʻAló.—Saame 28:7.

4. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e loto-toʻá ʻi he temipalé? (Sio ki he ʻuluaki fakatātā ʻi he kupú ni.)

⁴ ʻI he taʻu 12 ʻa Sīsuú, naʻá ne fakahāhā ʻa e loto-toʻa ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ʻi he temipalé, ʻo “tangutu ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau faiakó.” (Lau ʻa e Luke 2:41-47.) Naʻe ʻiloʻi lelei ʻaupito ʻe he kau faiako fakalotu ko iá ʻa e Lao ʻa Mōsesé, ka naʻa nau toe ʻiloʻi mo e ngaahi talatukufakaholo faka-Siú. Naʻe ʻai ʻe he ngaahi talatukufakaholo ko ení ke faingataʻa ʻa e talangofua ki he Laó. Ka naʻe ʻikai fakaʻatā ʻe Sīsū ʻenau ʻiló ke taʻofi ia mei he leá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne ilifia. Naʻá ne hanganaki “ʻeke kiate kinautolu ha ngaahi fehuʻi.” Ko e moʻoni, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻeke ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻoku angamaheniʻaki hono ʻeke ʻe ha kiʻi tamasiʻi. ʻI hono kehé, ʻe lava ke tau sioloto atu ki heʻene ʻeke ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi loloto ʻa ia naʻá ne maʻu ai ʻa e tokanga ʻa e kau faiako ko iá mo ʻai ke nau fakakaukau. Pea kapau naʻe feinga ʻa e kau faiakó ke kākaaʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi naʻe fakatupu fakafekiki, naʻe ʻikai ke nau lavameʻa. Ko e faʻahinga kotoa naʻe fanongó, kau ai ʻa e kau faiakó, naʻa nau ofoofo “ʻi heʻene mahinó mo ʻene ngaahi talí.” ʻIo, naʻe taukapoʻi loto-toʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e moʻoni ʻa ia ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá!

5. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē naʻe fakahāhā ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e loto-toʻá lolotonga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú?

⁵ Lolotonga ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Sīsuú, naʻá ne fakahāhā ʻa e loto-toʻá ʻi he ngaahi founga kehekehe. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ki he kakaí naʻe takihalaʻi kinautolu ʻe he kau taki lotú ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi akonaki loí. (Māt. 23:13-36) Pehē foki, naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻatā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e māmaní ke ne fakameleʻi ia. (Sione 16:33) Naʻá ne hanganaki malanga neongo ʻa e fakafepakí. (Sione 5:15-18; 7:14) Pea naʻá ne fakamaʻa tuʻo ua ʻa e temipalé ʻaki hono laku ki tuʻa ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau fakameleʻi ʻa e lotu moʻoní.—Māt. 21:12, 13; Sione 2:14-17.

6. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e loto-toʻá ʻi he ʻaho fakaʻosi ʻene moʻui ʻi he māmaní?

⁶ Tau sivisiviʻi angé ʻa e loto-toʻa ʻa Sīsū ʻi he ʻaho fakaʻosi ʻene moʻui ʻi he māmaní. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi he taimi ʻe lavakiʻi ai ia ʻe Siutasí. Ka, ʻi he kai Pāsová, naʻe tala ange ʻe Sīsū kia Siutasi: “Ko e meʻa ʻokú ke faí, fei mo fai leva ia.” (Sione 13:21-27) Pea ʻi he ngoue ko Ketisemaní, naʻe fakahaaʻi loto-toʻa ʻe Sīsū ia ki he kau sōtia naʻa nau haʻu ke puke iá. Neongo  naʻe ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻene moʻuí tonu, naʻá ne maluʻi ʻene kau ākongá, ʻo tala ange ki he kau sōtiá: “Tukuange ʻa e faʻahingá ni ke nau ʻalu.” (Sione 18:1-8) Ki mui ai, ʻi he taimi naʻe fakafehuʻi ai ia ʻe he fakamaauʻanga māʻolunga faka-Siú, naʻe tala ange loto-toʻa ʻe Sīsū kia kinautolu ko ia ʻa e Kalaisí mo e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne ilifia, neongo naʻe kumi ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahí ha ʻuhinga ke tāmateʻi ai ia. (Mk. 14:60-65) Naʻe tauhi anga-tonu ʻa Sīsū ki he ʻOtuá pea pekia ʻi he ʻakau fakamamahí. ʻI heʻene mānava fakaʻosí, naʻá ne kalanga: “Kuo lava!”—Sione 19:28-30.

7. Fānau, ʻoku anga-fēfē hoʻomou ongoʻi ʻi he hoko ko e taha ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová, pea ʻe lava fēfē ke mou fakahāhā ʻoku mou loto-toʻá?

Ka ʻe lava ke ke falala ko e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he Tohi Tapú fekauʻaki mo e fakatupú ʻoku moʻoni. ʻE lava ke ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e polosiua The Origin of Life—Five Questions Worth Asking ke fai ha tali ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau loto ke ʻiloʻi “ha ʻuhinga ki he ʻamanaki ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolú.” (1 Pita 3:15) Pea te ke ongoʻi fiemālie leva ke ʻilo ʻokú ke taukapoʻi loto-toʻa ʻa e moʻoni Fakatohitapú!

8. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku tau malanga ai ʻi he loto-toʻá?

⁸ ʻI heʻetau ngāue fakafaifekaú. ʻI he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau hanganaki “lea ʻaki ʻa e loto-toʻa ʻi he mafai ʻo Sihová.” (Ngā. 14:3) Ko e hā ʻe lava ai ke tau malanga ʻi he loto-toʻá? ʻUluakí, ʻoku tau ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻoku tau malangaʻakí ko e haʻu mei he Tohi Tapú. Ko e moʻoní ia. (Sione 17:17) Uá, ko e ‘kaungāngāue kitautolu ʻo e ʻOtuá,’ pea kuó ne ʻomai hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní ke tokoniʻi kitautolu. (1 Kol. 3:9; Ngā. 4:31) Tolú, ʻoku tau ʻofa kia Sihova mo e kakaí, ko ia ʻoku ueʻi ai kitautolu ke tau fai ʻa e lahi taha te tau malavá ke tala ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e ongoongo leleí. (Māt. 22:37-39) Koeʻuhí ko ʻetau loto-toʻá, heʻikai ʻaupito ke tuku ʻetau malangá. ʻOku tau fakapapauʻi ke akoʻi ʻa e moʻoní ki he faʻahinga kuo “fakakuihi” pe kākaaʻi ʻe he kau taki lotú.

9. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e loto-toʻá ʻi heʻetau tofanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahí?

⁹ ʻI heʻetau tofanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahí. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau falala ai ki he ʻOtuá, te ne ʻomai kia kitautolu ʻa e tui mo e loto-toʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau kātekina ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻá. Kapau ʻe mate ha taha ʻofaʻanga, ʻoku tau mamahi, ka ʻoku ʻikai mole ʻetau ʻamanakí. ʻOku tau falala-pau ko e “ʻOtua ʻo e fakafiemālie kotoa pē,” te ne fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu.

(Ngā. 15:28, 29) Kapau ʻoku tau loto-mafasia, ‘ʻe hanga ʻe hotau lotó ʻo fakahalaiaʻi kitautolu,’ ka ʻoku ʻikai ke tau foʻi. ʻOku tau falala kia Sihova, he ‘ko e loto laveá ʻokú ne ofi ki ai.’ b—1 Sio. 3:19, 20; Saame 34:18.

10. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻiloʻilo, pea ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa e lea mo e tōʻonga ʻa ha Kalisitiane ʻiloʻilo?

¹⁰ Ko e ʻiloʻiló ko e malava ia ke mahinoʻi ʻa e kehekehe ʻi he tonú mo e halá pea fili leva ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tonú. (Hep. 5:14) Ko ha Kalisitiane  ʻiloʻilo ʻokú ne fai ʻa e ngaahi fili ʻe fakaivimālohiʻi ai hono vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ne tokanga ke ʻoua te ne fakalotomamahiʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻaki ʻene leá. ʻI hono kehé, ʻokú ne fakahōifuaʻi ʻa Sihova koeʻuhí ʻokú ne fili ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻoku tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé.

(Pal. 15:21) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau ako ke hoko ʻo ʻiloʻilo? Kuo pau ke tau ako ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ngāueʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau akó. (Pal. 2:1-5, 10, 11) ʻE lava foki ke tau ako mo faʻifaʻitaki ki he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga haohaoa ʻo e ʻiloʻilo ʻa Sīsuú.

11. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻiloʻiló ʻi heʻene leá?

¹¹ Naʻe fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻiloʻilo ʻi he kotoa ʻene leá mo e meʻa naʻá ne faí. ʻI heʻene leá. ʻI he taimi naʻe malangaʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ongoongo leleí, naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea anga-ʻofa ʻa ia naʻe ofoofo ai ʻene kau fanongó. (Māt. 7:28; Luke 4:22) Naʻá ne faʻa lau pe lave ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi lelei ʻa e ngaahi konga Tohi Tapu ke ngāueʻaki ʻi ha faʻahinga tuʻunga pē. (Māt. 4:4, 7, 10; 12:1-5; Luke 4:16-21) Pehē foki, ko e kakai naʻa nau fanongo ki hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Folofolá naʻe maongo loloto kia kinautolu ʻene ngaahi leá. Hili ʻene toetuʻú, naʻe lea ʻa Sīsū ki ha ongo ākonga ʻi heʻena fononga ki ʻEmeasí. Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e ngaahi konga Tohi Tapu naʻe kaunga kiate iá. Naʻe pehē ki mui ai ʻe he ongo ākongá: “ʻIkai ne vela hota lotó ʻi heʻene lea kiate kitaua ʻi he halá, ʻi heʻene veteveteki kakato mai ʻa e Folofolá kiate kitauá?”—Luke 24:27, 32.

12, 13. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fakatātā ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai naʻe fakatotoka ʻa Sīsū ki he ʻita pea fakaʻatuʻi?

¹² ʻI heʻene ngaahi ongoʻí mo e fakakaukaú. Naʻe tokoniʻi ʻe he ʻiloʻiló ʻa Sīsū ke ne “fakatotoka ki he ʻita.” (Pal. 16:32) Naʻá ne malava ke mapuleʻi ʻene ngaahi ongoʻí pea naʻá ne “anga-malū.” (Māt. 11:29) Naʻe anga-kātaki maʻu pē ʻa Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá neongo ʻenau ngaahi tōnounoú. (Mk. 14:34-38; Luke 22:24-27) Pea naʻá ne hanganaki nonga ʻo aʻu ki he taimi naʻe ngaohikovia ai iá.—1 Pita 2:23.

¹³ Naʻe tokoniʻi ʻe he ʻiloʻiló ʻa Sīsū ke ne fakaʻatuʻi. Naʻá ne mahinoʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻo e Lao ʻa Mōsesé, ʻo tākiekina ai ʻa e anga ʻene fakafeangai ki he kakaí. Ko e fakatātaá, fakakaukau ki he fefine naʻe “ʻau totó.” (Lau ʻa e Maʻake 5:25-34.) Naʻe lue mai ʻa e fefiné ʻi he fuʻu kakaí, ʻo ala ki he kofu ʻo Sīsuú, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ia. Fakatatau ki he Laó, naʻá ne taʻemaʻa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai totonu ke ne ala ki ha taha. (Liv. 15:25-27) Ka naʻe ʻikai ke lea taʻeʻofa ʻa Sīsū kiate ia. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhí naʻá ne mahinoʻi ko e ngaahi ʻulungaanga hangē ko e “mēsí, mo e faitōnungá” naʻe mahuʻinga mamaʻo ange ia ʻi he talangofua kakato ki he Laó. (Māt. 23:23) Naʻe lea anga-ʻofa ange ʻa Sīsū: “ʻOfefine, kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tuí. ʻAlu ʻi he fiemālie, peá ke moʻui lelei mei ho mahaki fakamamahí.” He faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ē hono ueʻi ʻe he ʻiloʻiló ʻa Sīsū ke ne fakahāhā ʻa e anga-ʻofá!

14. Ko e hā naʻe fili ʻe Sīsū ke ne faí, pea naʻe anga-fēfē ʻene hanganaki tokangataha ki heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú?

¹⁴ ʻI heʻene founga moʻuí. Naʻe fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻiloʻiló ʻi he founga naʻá ne moʻui aí. Naʻá ne fili ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekaú ko ʻene ngāué ia. (Luke 4:43) Pehē foki, naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fili naʻe tokoniʻi ai ia ke tokangataha ki he ngāue ko ení pea fakaʻosi hono vāhenga-ngāué. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻá ne tauhi ʻene moʻuí ke faingofua koeʻuhi ke malava ʻo ngāueʻaki hono taimí mo e iví ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú. (Luke 9:58) Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe fiemaʻu ke ne akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé koeʻuhi ke lava ʻo nau hokohoko atu ʻa e ngāue fakamalangá hili ʻene pekiá. (Luke 10:1-12; Sione 14:12) Pea naʻá ne talaʻofa ki heʻene kau ākongá te ne tokoniʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú “ʻo aʻu ki he fakaʻosiʻosi ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu lolotongá.”—Māt. 28:19, 20.
