Mataio 8; Luka 7:11–17

O Le Mana Faavavega o Iesu Keriso

A young man wrapped in burial clothe is sitting up in a gurney. Jesus has his hand on his shoulder, his disciples can be seen in the background.

O se tasi o auala na faaalia ai e Iesu Lona mana e ala i faamalologa faavavega, e aofia ai le faatuina mai o le tama a le fafine ua oti lana tane mai le oti. O le faamoemoe o lenei lesona o le faamalosia o lou faatuatua i le mana o Iesu Keriso e faia ai vavega i o tatou aso ma i lou olaga.

O se vavega o “se mea uiga ese na tupu e ala i le mana o le Atua. … E tatau ona i ai le faatuatua ina ia mafai ai ona faaalia mai vavega” (O Le Taiala i Tusitusiga Paia, “ Vavega,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

  • O a nisi o vavega e aupito sili ona e fiafia i ai o loo tusia i tusitusiga paia? Aisea?

  • O a ni mea ua e aoao i ai e uiga ia Iesu Keriso mai nei vavega?

2:26

A o soifua le Faaola, na Ia faia vavega e tele. A o e suesue i nisi o nei vavega i lenei lesona faapea foi i le faagasologa o lenei vaiaso, manatunatu loloto pe faapefea ona e talia fesili nei:

  • O le a sou malamalama e uiga i vavega?

  • O a ni a tou fesili e uiga i vavega?

  • O le a se (ni) vavega o loo e faamoemoe o le a faia e le Atua i lou olaga?

Atonu e te manao e tusi au tali i totonu o lau api talaaga mo suesuega. Saili mo tali o au fesili i lenei vaiaso a o e suesueina vavega na faia e Iesu Keriso.

O se tasi o tomai suesue i tusitusiga paia e mafai ona fesoasoani ia te oe e te amata iloaina ai Iesu Keriso o le vaai lea i talaatu o mea o loo Ia faia ma mafaufau loloto i le agaga tatalo po o a mea o faaalia mai i Ana galuega e faatatau i Lana amio. A o e faitau, mafaufau e fai ni fesili faapea “O le a se mea ua ou aoao iai e uiga i faamoemoega, mea e faamuamua, ma uiga o le Faaola mai i mea o loo Ia faia ma fetalaia?”

Faitau i le Luka 7:11–17, ma saili mo ni mea patino i le tala o loo aotauina ai oe e uiga ia Iesu Keriso. Mo se faataitaiga, maitau mea o fesoasoani atu ai le fuaiupu 13 e te malamalama ai pe aisea na Ia faia ai lea vavega. Atonu foi e te manao e matamata le vitio “Widow of Nain” (2:22), e maua i le ChurchofJesusChrist.org, a o e suesueina lenei tala.

1. Answer the following questions in your study journal:

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we believe in a very personal relationship with the Savior. In reading the New Testament and the Book of Mormon I have often wondered what it must have been like to feel the Saviors touch and receive healing through his virtue. This image depicts the story found in Matthew 8 of the New Testament. The leper who approached Jesus had faith that, if willing, he could make him clean. With the simple words, “be thou clean” a life was brought from despair to hope. What must that moment have been like? The newly cleansed man, gazing into the face of the Savior of the world.

  • O le a se mea na e aoao iai e uiga i faamoemoega, mea e faamuamua, ma uiga faaleatua mai mea sa Ia faia a o Ia faatinoina lenei vavega?

  • E mafai faapefea ona fesoasoani ia te oe i le taimi nei lava mea na e aoaoina?

Many miracles happen every day in the work of our Church and in the lives of our members. Many of you have witnessed miracles, perhaps more than you realize.

(Dallin H. Oaks, “Miracles,” Ensign, June 2001, 6)

  • O le a se mea ua e aoao iai e uiga i faamoemoega, mea e faamuamua, ma uiga faaleatua o le Faaola mai i mea na Ia faia ma fetalaia a o Ia faatinoina lenei vavega?

  • E mafai faapefea ona fesoasoani ia te oe i lou olaga i le taimi nei lava mea ua e aoaoina?

  • O le a se mea e mafai ona e faia pe a ua e lagona le manaomiaina o le fesoasoani a le Faaola?

Pe iai se taimi na e mafaufau ai pe o faatinoina pea e le Faaola vavega i aso nei? E ui ina e lē tele ni tagata ua molimauina nisi o vavega ofoofogia e pei ona tusia i tusitusiga paia, e pei o le vaeluaina o le Sami Ulaula po o le faatuina mai o tagata mai le oti, e taua ona e manatua o loo tutupu pea vavega i nei ona po. Sa fetalai le Faaola, “o A’u o se Atua o vavega; ma o le a Ou faaali atu i le lalolagi e tutusa lava a’u ananafi, i le asō, ma le faavavau” ( 2 Nifae 27:23).

Uunai i latou e saili i musumusuga mai le Agaga Paia e fesoasoani ia i latou ia maua tali o fesili o loo i ai pea e uiga i vavega.

Frontal half-length portrait of President Gordon B. Hinckley. President Hinckley’s hands are resting on the back of a chair. The image is the official Church portrait of President Hinckley as of 1995. This was President Hinckley’s last official portrait. President Hinckley died 27 January 2008.

I was asked if I would visit a woman in the hospital whose doctors had told her she was going blind and would lose her sight within a week. She asked if we would administer to her and we did so, and she states that she was miraculously healed. … I said to her, “I didn’t save your sight. Of course, the Lord saved your sight. Thank Him and be grateful to Him.”

(Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley [1997], 343)

Official Portrait of President Dallin H. Oaks taken March 2018.

Miracles are not available for the asking. … The will of the Lord is always paramount. The priesthood of the Lord cannot be used to work a miracle contrary to the will of the Lord. We must also remember that even when a miracle is to occur, it will not occur on our desired schedule. The revelations teach that miraculous experiences occur “in his own time, and in his own way” ( D&C 88:68).

(Dallin H. Oaks, “Miracles,” Ensign, June 2001, 9)

Half-length frontal portrait of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. Joseph’s head is turned to the side in a three-quarter view, right hand on hip and his left hand holds sheets of papers. He is depicted wearing a dark brown suit and a white shirt and tie.

We came to this earth that we might have a body and present it pure before God in the celestial kingdom. The great principle of happiness consists in having a body. The devil has no body, and herein is his punishment. He is pleased when he can obtain the tabernacle of man, and when cast out by the Savior he asked to go into the herd of swine, showing that he would prefer a swine’s body to having none. All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.

Official portrait of President Russell M. Nelson taken January 2018

Our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will perform some of His mightiest works between now and when He comes again. We will see miraculous indications that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, preside over this Church in majesty and glory.
