Batimea

Makemake nā keiki i nā moʻolelo no ka mea he mea mahalo a maikaʻi ʻole lākou. Hoʻakaʻaka lākou iā mākou, uē, a aʻo iā mākou i nā haʻawina a pēlā e hoʻohuli ai i kā mākou hana. ʻAʻole hōʻike wale nā ​​mea ʻeuanelio iā Iesū - haʻi mai lākou iā mākou i nā moʻolelo e pili ana i kāna hana a me nā mea āna i launa ai no ka mea he nui nā mea e haʻi e pili ana iā ia.

E nana kakou i ka moolelo o Batimea. "A hele mai la lakou i Ieriko. A i kona hele ʻana i waho o Ieriko, ʻo ia a me kāna poʻe haumāna a me ka ʻaha kanaka nui, e noho ana ma kapa alanui kekahi makapō, ʻo Batimea, ke keiki a Timea. 10,46).

ʻO ka mea mua, ua hōʻike ʻia iā mākou ua ʻike ʻo Batimea i kona pono. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hoʻāʻo e hūnā mai ia mea akā "hoʻomaka ʻo ia e uē" (v. 47).
Loaʻa iā mākou āpau nā pono e hiki ai i kā mākou Mea Hoola a me Hoola, ʻo Iesū wale nō ke hoʻoponopono. Ua maopopo ka hemahema o Bartimaeus, akā no ka hapanui o mākou e hūnā ʻia kā mākou pono a i ʻole hiki ʻole a makemake ʻole mākou e ʻae. Loaʻa iā mākou nā wahi i ko mākou ola kahi e hea ai mākou no ke kōkua a ka Mea Hoola. Paipai ʻo Bartimaeus iā ʻoe e nīnau iā ʻoe iho: ua mākaukau anei ʻoe e alo i kāu pono a noi aku i ke kōkua e like me ia?

Ua wehe ʻo Batimea i kona mau pono a ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Iesu e hana i kahi mea nui nona. Ua ʻike pono ʻo Batimea i ka mea hiki ke kōkua iā ia, no laila hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻōho: "E Iesu, ke Keiki a Dāvida, e aloha mai ʻoe iaʻu!" (Vesi 47), me ka inoa no ka Mesia. Malia paha ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka ʻōlelo a ʻIsaia: "A laila e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā maka o ka poʻe makapō a me nā pepeiao o ka poʻe kuli" (Isaia 3 Kor.5,5).

ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hoʻolohe i nā leo e ʻōlelo ana ʻaʻole pono ʻo ia e hoʻopilikia iā Kumu. Akā, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻomumu ʻia no ka mea ua ʻike ʻo ia he mea pono ke hoʻōho hou aku: "E ke Keiki a Dāvida, e aloha mai ʻoe iaʻu!" (Markus 10,48). Kū aʻela ʻo Iesū, ʻī maila, E kāhea aku iā ia. Ua aloha ʻia mākou e ke Akua, kū ʻo ia i kona lohe ʻana i kā mākou uē ʻana. Ua ʻike ʻo Batimea i ka mea nui a me ka mea nui ʻole. ʻO ka mea hoihoi, ma ka moʻolelo, haʻalele ʻo ia i kona ʻaʻahu a holo wikiwiki aku iā Iesu (pauku 50). Malia paha he waiwai loa kona aahu ia ia, aole nae he mea e hiki ai ke hiki ia Iesu. He aha nā mea i loko o kou ola ʻaʻole i koʻikoʻi nui akā ua waiwai nui ʻoe? He aha nā mea āu e hoʻokuʻu ai i mea e hoʻokokoke ai iā Iesu?

«I aku la o Iesu ia ia, O hele; ua ola oe i kou manaoio. A ʻike koke ʻo ia a ukali iā ia ma ke ala »(paukū 52). ʻO ka manaʻoʻiʻo iā Iesu Kristo e ʻike iā ʻoe i ka ʻuhane, hoʻōla iā ʻoe i kou makapō ʻuhane a hiki iā ʻoe ke hahai iā Iesū. Mahope o ka hoolaia ana o Batimea e Iesu, ukali aku la ia mahope ma ke ala. Makemake ʻo ia e hele pū me Iesū a lilo i ʻāpana o kāna moʻolelo ma nā wahi a pau e alakaʻi ai iā ia.

Ua like mākou a pau me Batimea, makapō, hemahema a makemake mākou i ko Iesū hoʻōla ʻana. E waiho kāua i nā mea nui ʻole a e hoʻōla ʻo Iesū iā mākou a hāhai iā ia i kāna huakaʻi.
