ʻO Iesū ke makahiapo

I kēia ola ke holo nei mākou i ka pilikia o ka hoʻomaʻau ʻia no Kristo. Haʻalele mākou i nā waiwai pōkole a me nā hauʻoli o kēia ao. Inā ʻo kēia ola wale nō ka mea i loaʻa iā mākou, no ke aha e haʻalele ai i kekahi mea? Inā hāʻawi mākou i nā mea a pau no kēlā memo hoʻokahi ʻaʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo, pono mākou e hoʻohenehene ʻia.

Ua haʻi mai ka ʻeuanelio iā mākou he manaolana ko mākou iā Kristo no ke ola e hiki mai ana, no ka mea, pili ia i ke alahouana o Iesu. ʻO ka Easter he mea hoʻomanaʻo ua hiki mai ʻo Iesū i ke ola - a ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia iā mākou e ola hou mākou. Inā ʻaʻole ia i ala mai, ʻaʻohe o kākou manaʻolana i kēia ola a me ke ola e hiki mai ana. Eia naʻe, ua ala ʻiʻo ʻo Iesū, no laila ua loaʻa iā mākou ka manaʻolana.

Na‘e fakapapau‘i ‘e Paula ‘a e ongoongo lelei: “Kuo toetu‘u ‘a Kalaisi mei he mate! Oia ka mua a ke Akua i hoala mai ai. ʻO kona alahouana e hāʻawi mai iā mākou i ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo e ala hou ka poʻe i make i ka manaʻoʻiʻo iā Iesū.1. Korineto 15,20 Unuhi hou Geneva).

I ka ʻIseraʻela kahiko, ʻoki ʻia ka hua mua i ʻohi ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki a hāʻawi ʻia i ka hoʻomana i ke Akua. A laila hiki ke ʻai ʻia ke koena o ka palaoa (Leviticus 3:23-10). I ko lākou hāʻawi ʻana i ke Akua i ka pua o nā hua mua e hōʻike ana iā Iesū, ua ʻike lākou ʻo kā lākou ʻai a pau he makana ia mai ke Akua mai. ʻO ka ʻālana hua mua, ʻo ia ka ʻohi a pau.

Ua kapa ʻo Paulo iā Iesū ʻo ka hua mua a ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo Iesū ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki a ke Akua no ka ʻohi ʻai nui e hiki mai ana. ʻO ia ka mea mua i ala hou ʻia a pēlā pū kekahi i ka poʻe e ala hou ʻia. ʻO ko mākou wā e pili ana i kona ala hou ʻana. Ke hahai nei mākou iā ia ʻaʻole wale i kona ʻeha akā i kona nani hoʻi (Roma 8,17).

ʻAʻole ʻike ʻo Paul iā mākou he poʻe kaʻawale - ʻike ʻo ia iā mākou he hui. I ka hui hea? E lilo anei kakou i poe hahai na Adamu a me Iesu?

"Ua hiki mai ka make ma ke kanaka," wahi a Paulo. Pela no "ke alahouana o ka poe make e hiki mai ana ma ke kanaka.1. Korineto 15,21-22). O Adamu ka hua mua o ka make; O Iesu ka hua mua o ke alahouana. Iā mākou i loko o ʻAdamu, ua puʻunaue mākou i kona make me ia. I ko kakou noho ana iloko o Kristo, ua hui pu kakou me ia i kona alahouana a me ke ola mau loa.

Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻeuanelio, ua ola ka poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo iā Kristo. ʻAʻole kēia he pōmaikaʻi pōkole wale nō i kēia ola - e hauʻoli mākou no ka manawa pau ʻole. "ʻO kēlā me kēia mea: ʻo Kristo ka hua mua, ma hope o kona hiki ʻana mai, ʻo ka poʻe nona."1. Korineto 15,23). E like me ko Iesu ala ʻana mai ka lua kupapaʻu, pēlā nō mākou e ala ai i kahi ola hou a maikaʻi loa. Hauʻoli mākou! Ua ala mai ʻo Kristo a ʻo mākou pū me ia!
