“KO E kaungāongoʻí ko e ʻi hoku lotó ʻa hoʻo mamahí.” Ko e anga ia hono fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻulungāanga mahuʻinga ko ení ʻe ha misinale taʻumotuʻa ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová. Ko e ʻOtua ko Sihová ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga tuʻu-ki-muʻa taha ʻo e kaungāongoʻí. ʻOkú ne ongoʻi fakafoʻituitui ʻa e mamahi ʻoku tofanga ai ʻa hono kakaí. ʻOku lava fēfē ke tau fakapapauʻi iá? Ko e kaungāongoʻi anga-ʻofa ʻa Sihová ʻoku fakahāhā haohaoa ia ʻi he ngaahi lea mo e ngāue ʻa Sīsū ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ʻi māmani aí. (Sione 5:19) Ko e fakatātaá, fakakaukau angé ki he meʻa naʻe hoko ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Sione 11:33-35.
ʻI he taimi naʻe hoko ai ʻa e mate mutukia ki he kaumeʻa ʻo Sīsū ko Lāsalosí, naʻe fononga ʻa Sīsū ki hono koló. ʻOku lava ke mahino ʻa e mamahi lahi ʻa e ongo tuofāfine ʻo Lāsalosí, ʻa Mele mo Māʻata. Naʻe ʻofa lahi ʻa Sīsū ʻi he fāmili ko ení. (Sione 11:5) Naʻe fēfē leva ʻene tali ki aí? ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatalá: “I he mamata a Jisu kiate ia [Mele] oku tagi, bea tagi foki moe kakai Jiu nae haʻu mo ia, bea toʻe ia i he laumalie, bea mamahi ia, o ne behe, Kuo mou tuku ife ia? Bea nau tala kiate ia, Eiki, haʻu o mamata. Bea tagi a Jisu.” (Sione 11:33-35, PM) Ko e hā naʻe tangi ai ʻa Sīsuú? Ko e moʻoni, naʻe mate ʻa hono kaumeʻa ʻofeina ko Lāsalosí, ka naʻe teu ke fakaleleiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻa ko iá ʻaki ʻene fokotuʻu hake ia. (Sione 11:41-44) Naʻe toe ʻi ai ha meʻa kehe naʻá ne ueʻi ʻa e ngaahi ongoʻi ʻa Sīsuú?
Toe sio angé ki he ngaahi lea naʻe lave ki ai ʻi ʻolungá. Fakatokangaʻi ʻi he taimi naʻe sio ai ʻa Sīsū kia Mele naʻe tangi mo e faʻahinga naʻe ʻiate iá, naʻá ne “toʻe” mo “mamahi.” Ko e ngaahi foʻi lea naʻe ngāueʻaki heni ʻi he muʻaki leá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e ongoʻi lahi. a Naʻe maongo lahi kia Sīsū ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne mamata ki aí. Ko e moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ia ʻene ongoʻi mālohí naʻe hā mahino ia ʻi heʻene loʻimataʻiá. ʻOku mahino naʻe maongo ki he loto ʻo Sīsuú ʻa e mamahi ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Kuo faifai ange pea ueʻi koe ke ke tangi koeʻuhi ko e tangi ʻa ha taha ʻokú ke ʻofa ai?—Loma 12:15.
Ko e kaungāongoʻi ʻa Sīsuú ʻoku ʻomai ai kiate kitautolu ha fakamaama mahuʻinga ki he ngaahi ʻulungāanga mo e ngaahi founga ʻa ʻene Tamaí, ʻa Sihova. Manatuʻi naʻe tapua mātuʻaki haohaoa atu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga ʻo ʻene Tamaí ʻo lava ai ke ne pehē: “Ko ia kuo ne mātā au, kuo ne mātā ʻa e Tamai.” (Sione 14:9) Ko ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau lau ai ʻo pehē naʻe “tagi a Jisu,” ʻoku lava ke tau fakapapauʻi ai ʻoku ongoʻi fakafoʻituitui ʻe Sihova ʻa e mamahi ʻa ʻene kau lotú. Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku fakapapauʻi ʻe he kau hiki Tohi Tapu kehé ʻa e moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ení. (Aisea 63:9; Sakalaia 2:8) Ko ha ʻOtua anga-ʻofa moʻoni ē ko Sihova!
ʻOku tohoakiʻi kitautolu ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau kaungāongoʻí. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau loto-siʻi ai pe loto-mafasiá, ʻoku tohoakiʻi ai kitautolu ki ha kaungāmeʻa fakaetangata ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ne mahinoʻi hotau ngaahi tuʻungá pea kaungāongoʻi ʻetau mamahí. Huanoa ange ai ʻa hono tohoakiʻi kitautolu kia Sihova, ko ha ʻOtua manavaʻofa ʻokú ne ongoʻi ʻetau mamahí pea mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku tau tangi loʻimata aí!—Sāme 56:8.
