Fakaului Taʻengata Tuʻunga ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi 

Kuo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe ʻEletā Ueini Maula, ʻo e Uooti Uinitalū ʻi he Siteiki Pilisipeini ʻAositelēlia Pinileí, ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ke ngāue tokoni ai ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. Kuó ne hoko ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻo e Talavou ʻi he uōtí, ko ha tokoni ʻi he kau pīsopelikí, ko ha mēmipa ʻo e kau palesitenisī fakasiteikí, pea palesiteni fakamisiona ʻi he Misiona Filipaini Takolopaní pea toe palesiteni pē ʻi he Senitā Akoʻanga Fakafaifekau (MTC) ʻo e misiona tatau. ʻOku hoko ʻa ʻEletā Maula ʻi he taimí ni ko ha Fitungofulu Fakaʻēlia ki he ʻĒlia Pasifiki ʻo e Siasí.

 Ko ha lēsoni ʻe taha kuo makehe maʻu pē kiate ia ko e mahuʻinga ko ia ʻo e fakatefito ʻia Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOkú ne tui ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he fakatefito ko ʻení ha nonga, ʻamanaki lelei mo e fiefia ki heʻetau moʻuí. Kuo ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻEletā Maula ko e taimi ko ia ʻoku fakatefito ai ʻetau moʻuí ʻia Kalaisí, te tau lava ʻo aʻusia ʻa e ʻUlui Taʻengata’ moʻoní—ko ha ului ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata.

ʻOku mahinongofua mo mālohi ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOkú ne fakamanatu mai te tau lava kotoa ʻo maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻokú Ne foakí, ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko hai kitautolu. ʻOku pehē ʻe ʻEletā Maula, “ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he fakatefito ʻia Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa e nonga, ʻamanaki lelei mo e fiefia ki heʻeku moʻuí.” ʻOkú ne fakamatalaʻi ʻe lava ʻe he tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia ko ha tui mo e ʻamanaki lelei kiate Ia, ʻo fakahaofi kitautolu mo tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau maʻu ʻa e fiemālié, ʻo aʻu ki he taimi ʻoku tau fai ai ha ngaahi fehalaākí.

Ko e taimi ʻoku tau fakamālohia ai ʻetau tui kia Kalaisí, ʻoku tau ongoʻi ʻa e fiemaʻu ke tau fakatomalá—ke tafoki mei heʻetau ngaahi fehalaākí ʻo hanga kiate Ia. ʻI heʻetau fai ʻení, ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻa e fiefia ʻi he hala fonongá. ʻOku tataki kitautolu ʻe he fiefia ko ʻení ke tau fai ha ngaahi fuakava, pe ngaahi palōmesi toputapu, mo e ʻEikí. ʻOku fakafehokotaki kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi fuakava ko ʻení kia Kalaisi pea tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau maʻu Hono mālohí ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakaʻahó. ʻOku vahevahe ʻe ʻEletā Maula ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tau fiemaʻu ʻa e mālohi ko ʻení ke tau kei nofo ai ʻi he hala totonú lolotonga ʻa e aʻusia ko ʻeni ʻi he māmaní, mo ʻamanaki lelei ki he Moʻui Taʻengatá ʻi he maama ka hoko maí.”

ʻI he Misiona Philippines Tacloban, naʻe tokanga taha ʻa e kau faifekaú ki he foʻi fakakaukau ko ʻeni ʻo e Ului Taʻengatá. Naʻa nau fakalotolahiʻi kinautolu pea mo e niʻihi naʻa nau akoʻí ke fakamālohia ʻenau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻI he tupulaki ʻenau tuí, naʻe fakaʻaiʻai kinautolu ke nau fakatomala pea ʻunu ke ofi ange ki he Fakamoʻuí. Naʻa nau fai ha ngaahi fuakava mo e ʻEikí, ʻa ia naʻe ʻomi ai ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ki heʻenau moʻuí. Naʻe tokoni ʻeni ke nau nofo maʻu ʻi he hala ʻo e Ului Taʻengatá.

ʻOku toe fakamanatu mai foki ʻe ʻEletā Maula ko e fiefia mo e mālohi ʻo e tauhi-fuakavá ʻoku mahuʻinga ia ki heʻetau fonongá. ʻOku ako mai ʻi he ʻAlamā 37:6 ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fakahoko ʻe he fanga kiʻi meʻa iiki mo faingofuá ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu meʻa lalahi.” ʻI heʻetau tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá, ʻo aʻu ki he fanga kiʻi founga īkí, ʻoku tāpuekina ai kitautolu ʻaki ʻa e mālohi mo e tataki.

Naʻe akoʻi mai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e tuí mo e fakatomalá ʻi he 3 Nīfai 11:32–33: “Ko ʻeku tokāteliné ʻeni . . . ko ia ia ʻokú ne tui kiate au, mo papitaisó, ʻe fakamoʻui ia.”

ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he ngaahi aʻusia ʻa ʻEletā Maulá ko e fakatefito ko ia ʻia Sīsū Kalaisí, te tau lava ai ʻo tuʻu ʻaliʻaliaki ʻi he hala ki he Moʻui Taʻengatá. ʻOkú ne tapou mai kiate kitautolu hono kotoa ke tau fakatefito ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi, fakahoko mo tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá, pea ʻilo ʻa e fiefiá ʻi he hala fonongá. ʻI heʻetau fai iá, he ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he loloto ʻetau uluí ka ʻe taʻengata foki ia.
