Ka kea ma Kalevari

I kēia manawa ua mālie ma ka puʻu. ʻAʻole mālie, akā mālie. Akahi no ia la aohe walaau. Ua pau ka haunaele i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pōʻeleʻele—ʻo kēlā pōʻeleʻele pohihihi i ke aumoe. E like me ka wai e kinai ana i ke ahi, pela ka pouli i uhi ai i ka hoomaewaewa. Ua pau ka hoowahawaha, ka hoohenehene a me ka hoohenehene. Huli aku kekahi ma hope o kekahi a hoʻi i ka home. A i ʻole, nā mea nānā a pau koe wale nō ʻoe a me aʻu. ʻAʻole mākou i hele. Hele mākou e aʻo. A no laila, noho mākou i loko o ka pōʻeleʻele a hoʻopaʻa i ko mākou mau pepeiao. Lohe makou i na koa e hoohiki ino ana, e ninau mai ana ka poe maalo, a e uwe ana na wahine. Akā, ʻo ka mea nui o nā mea a pau, ua hoʻolohe mākou i nā ʻōhumu o nā kānaka make ʻekolu. A hoarse, harsh, thirsty groan. Ua uē lākou i kēlā me kēia manawa e hoʻolei i ko lākou poʻo a hoʻololi i ko lākou mau wāwae.

I ka lōʻihi o nā minuke a me nā hola, ua emi ka uē. Ua ʻike ʻia nā mea ʻekolu i ka make, a inā ʻaʻole no ka leo kanikau o ko lākou hanu ʻana. A laila uē kekahi. Me he mea lā ua huki kekahi i kona lauoho, ua kuʻi ʻo ia i ke kua o kona poʻo i ka hōʻailona i kau ʻia ma luna o kona inoa a me kāna uē ʻana. Me he pahi lā e haehae ana i ka pākū, ʻo kona uē ʻana i ka pōʻeleʻele. E like me ka pololei o na kui, uwo ae la oia me he mea la e kahea ana i ke aikane nalowale, "Eloi!" ʻO kona leo haʻahaʻa a ʻoʻoleʻa. ʻIke ʻia ka lapalapa o ka lama i kona mau maka ākea. "E kuu Akua!" Me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i ka ʻehaʻeha e ʻā ana, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia iā ia iho a ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kona mau poʻohiwi ma mua o kona mau lima paʻa. "No ke aha ʻoe i haʻalele ai iaʻu?" Ua haka pono nā koa iā ia. Ua pau ka uwe ana o na wahine. Ua hoowahawaha kekahi Parisaio, "Kahea aku ia ia Elia." ʻAʻohe kanaka ʻakaʻaka. Ua hoʻōho ʻo ia i kahi nīnau i ka Lani, a ua manaʻo kekahi e kāhea ka Lani i kahi pane. No ka mea, ua hoʻomaha ka helehelena o Iesū a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i ka manawa hope loa: "Ua pau. E ka Makua, ke haawi aku nei au i ko'u uhane iloko o kou lima."

I kona hanu hope ʻana, haʻalulu koke ka honua. ʻO ka pōhaku, hāʻule ke koa. A laila, e like me ka wā i haki ʻia ai ka hamau, ua hoʻi mai. Ua mālie nā mea a pau. Ua oki ka hoohenehene. ʻAʻohe mea hoʻohenehene hou. Paʻa nā koa i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ke kahua hoʻomake. Ua hele mai ʻelua kāne. Ua aahu maikai lakou, a ua haawiia ke kino o Iesu ia lakou. A waiho mākou me nā koena o kona make. ʻEkolu kui i loko o ke kini. ʻEkolu mau aka kea. He lei aliʻi ʻulaʻula. Kupanaha, 'a'ole anei? ʻO ka manaʻo ʻaʻole kēia koko he koko kanaka wale nō, akā he koko ke Akua? pupule, pololei? Ke noʻonoʻo nei ua kui nā kui i kāu mau hewa i ke keʻa?

ʻAʻole ʻoe e manaʻo? Ua pule ke kanaka hewa a ua pane ʻia kāna pule? A i ʻole, ʻoi aku ka lapuwale ʻaʻole i pule kekahi kanaka hewa? nā mea like ʻole a me nā ironies. ʻO Kalevari nā mea ʻelua. Ua ʻokoʻa loa mākou i kēia manawa. Inā ua nīnau ʻia iā mākou pehea e hoʻōla ai ke Akua i kona honua, inā mākou e noʻonoʻo i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa loa. Lio keʻokeʻo, pahi kaua. ʻO ka hewa e moe pālahalaha ana ma kona kua. Akua ma kona nohoalii. Aka, he Akua ma ke kea? He akua me nā lehelehe mahā a pehu, maka koko ma ke keʻa? He akua i hookui i ka maka me ka huʻihuʻi a hou i ka ʻaoʻao me ka ihe? Ma nā wāwae o wai e hoʻolei ʻia nā dice? ʻAʻole, ua hoʻokani ʻokoʻa mākou i ke keaka hoʻōla. ʻAʻole naʻe mākou i nīnau ʻia. Ua koho pono ʻia nā mea pāʻani a me nā props e ka lani a hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ke Akua. ʻAʻole mākou i noi ʻia e hoʻonohonoho i ka hola.

Akā ke noi ʻia nei mākou e pane. I mea e lilo ai ke keʻa o Kristo i keʻa o kou ola, pono ʻoe e lawe i kekahi mea ma ke keʻa. Ua ike kakou i ka Iesu i lawe mai ai i kanaka. Me nā lima ʻeha ʻo ia i kala ai. Me ke kino ʻeha, ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia e ʻae. Hele ʻo ia e lawe iā mākou i ka home. Ua ʻaʻahu ʻo ia i ko mākou mau lole e hāʻawi mai iā mākou i kona mau lole. Ua ʻike mākou i nā makana āna i lawe mai ai. I kēia manawa ke nīnau nei mākou iā mākou iho i ka mea a mākou e lawe ai. ʻAʻole noi ʻia mākou e pena i ka hōʻailona e ʻōlelo ana a i ʻole e kau i nā kui. ʻAʻole mākou i noi ʻia e kuha ʻia a ʻaʻahu paha i ka lei kākalaioa. Akā ua noi ʻia mākou e hele i ke ala a waiho i kahi mea ma ke keʻa. ʻOiaʻiʻo pono mākou e hana i kēlā. ʻAʻole nui ka poʻe.

He aha kāu makemake e waiho ai ma ke keʻa?

Nui ka poʻe i hana i kā mākou i hana ai: He nui ka poʻe i heluhelu i ke keʻa, Ua ʻoi aku ka naʻauao ma mua o kaʻu i kākau ai. Nui ka poʻe i noʻonoʻo i ka mea a Kristo i waiho ai ma ke keʻa; kakaikahi ka poe i noonoo i ka mea e waiho ai ia makou iho.
Hiki iaʻu ke noi aku iā ʻoe e waiho i kekahi mea ma ke keʻa? Hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i ke keʻa a nānā pono iā ia. Hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu e pili ana iā ia, a pule aku iā ia. Akā, a hiki i kou waiho ʻole ʻana i kekahi mea ma laila, ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻae me ka naʻau holoʻokoʻa i ke keʻa. Ua ʻike ʻoe i ka mea a Kristo i waiho ai. ʻAʻole ʻoe makemake e haʻalele i kekahi mea? No ke aha e hoʻomaka ʻole ai me kou mau wahi ʻeha? ʻO kēlā mau hana ʻino? E waiho iā lākou ma ke keʻa. ʻO kāu mau manaʻo hoʻopunipuni a me nā kumu ʻoʻopa? Hāʻawi iā lākou i ke Akua. ʻO kou inu ʻana a me kou manaʻo nui? Makemake ke Akua ia mea a pau. ʻO kēlā me kēia hemahema, kēlā me kēia haʻalele. Makemake ʻo ia i kēlā mau mea a pau. No ke aha mai? No ka mea, ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ola me kēlā.

I koʻu wā kamaliʻi, pāʻani pinepine au i ka pōpeku ma ke kahua ākea ma hope o ko mākou hale. Ua ho'āʻo wau e hoʻohālike i nā hōkū pōpeku kaulana. Ua uhi ʻia nā māla nui ma ke komohana o Texas i ka burdock. ʻeha nā Burdocks. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke pāʻani i ka pōpeku me ka hāʻule ʻole, a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻule ma ke kahua o West Texas me ka uhi ʻole ʻia i nā burs. He nui nā manawa aʻu i manaʻo nui ʻole ai me nā burrs a pono wau e noi i ke kōkua. ʻAʻole ʻae nā keiki i nā keiki ʻē aʻe e heluhelu i ka burs. Pono ʻoe i kahi kanaka akamai e hana i kēia. I loko o ia mau hihia, hiki iaʻu ke lohi i loko o ka hale i hiki i koʻu makuakāne ke ʻoki i nā pahu - me ka ʻeha, hoʻokahi i ka manawa. ʻAʻole wau i ʻālohilohi loa, akā ʻike wau inā makemake wau e pāʻani hou, pono wau e hoʻopau i nā burrs. ʻO kēlā me kēia hewa i ke ola e like me ka burr. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ola me ka hāʻule ʻole, a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻule me ka ʻole o kahi mea e pili ana iā ʻoe. Akā e noʻonoʻo pehea? ʻAʻole mākou maʻa mau e like me nā poʻe pôpeku ʻōpio. I kekahi manawa e ho'āʻo mākou e hoʻi i loko o ka pāʻani me ka ʻole e wehe mua i nā burrs. Me he mea lā e hoʻāʻo nei mākou e hūnā i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hāʻule mākou. ʻO ia ke kumu e hoʻohālike ai mākou ʻaʻole i hāʻule. ʻO ka hopena, ola mākou me ka ʻeha. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hele pono, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hiamoe pono, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaha pono. A loaʻa iā mākou ka huhū. Makemake anei ke Akua e ola kakou e like me keia? ʻaʻole iki. E hoʻolohe i kēia ʻōlelo hoʻohiki: "A ʻo kēia kaʻu berita me lākou, ke lawe aku au i kā lākou hewa" (Roma 11,27).

ʻOi aku ka hana a ke Akua ma mua o ke kala wale ʻana i kā mākou mau hewa; lawe aku oia ia ia! Pono mākou e lawe iā lākou iā ia. ʻAʻole makemake wale ʻo ia i nā hewa a mākou i hana ai. Makemake ʻo ia i nā hewa a mākou e hana nei i kēia manawa! Ke hana hewa nei ʻoe i kēia manawa? Ke inu nui nei ʻoe? Hoʻopunipuni paha ʻoe ma ka hana a hoʻopunipuni paha i kāu kāne? Ua hewa ʻoe i kāu kālā? Ua ʻoi aku paha ʻoe i ke alakaʻi ʻino i kou ola ma mua o ka pono? Inā pēlā, mai hoʻohālike ua maikaʻi nā mea a pau. Mai hoʻohālike ʻaʻole ʻoe e hāʻule. Mai ho'āʻo e hoʻi i ka pāʻani. E hele mua i ke Akua. ʻO ka ʻanuʻu mua ma hope o ke kuhi hewa ʻana pono e hele i ke keʻa. "Aka, ina e hai aku kakou i ko kakou hewa, he oiaio no ia, a he pono ke kala mai i ko kakou hewa."1. Johannes 1,9).
He aha kāu e waiho ai ma ke keʻa? E hoʻomaka me kou mau wahi ʻeha. A ʻoiai ʻoe i laila, e hāʻawi i kou mau ʻino a pau i ke Akua.

Maopopo anei iā ʻoe ka moʻolelo o ke kanaka i nahu ʻia e ka ʻīlio? I kona ʻike ʻana he rabies ka ʻīlio, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana i kahi papa inoa. Ua hōʻike ke kauka iā ia ʻaʻole pono e hana i kāna makemake e hiki ke hoʻōla ʻia ka rabies. ʻAe, ʻaʻole wau e hana i koʻu makemake, wahi āna. Hana wau i ka papa inoa o nā poʻe a pau aʻu e makemake ai e nahu. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hana i kahi papa inoa e like me kēia? Ua ʻike paha ʻoe ʻaʻole launa mau nā hoaaloha, ʻaʻole hana kekahi poʻe limahana, a ʻo kekahi mau luna hoʻomalu mau. Ua ʻike mua ʻoe ʻaʻole mālama mau ʻia nā ʻōlelo hoʻohiki. No kou makua kāne kekahi, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e hana ke kāne e like me ka makua kāne. ʻAe kekahi mau kāne ma ka hale pule, akā i ka male ʻana, ʻōlelo lākou "ʻaʻole" kekahi i kekahi. E like me kāu i ʻike ai, makemake mākou i ka pā ʻana, nahu hope, hana i nā papa inoa, hana ʻōlelo hoʻomāʻewaʻewa, a paʻi i nā poʻe a mākou makemake ʻole.

Makemake ke Akua i kā mākou papa inoa. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻo ia i kekahi o kāna mau kauā e ʻōlelo: "ʻAʻole helu ke aloha i ka hewa" (1. Korineto 13,5). Makemake ʻo ia e haʻalele mākou i ka papa inoa ma ke keʻa. ʻAʻole maʻalahi kēia. E nānā i kā lākou hana iaʻu, huhū mākou a kuhikuhi i ko mākou mau ʻeha. E nana i ka'u mea i hana aku ai ia oe, e kuhikuhi mai ana oia ia makou i ke kea. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Paulo penei: “E kala aku kekahi i kekahi, ke ʻōhumu kekahi i kekahi; e like me ka Haku i kala mai ai ia oukou, pela hoi e kala aku ai.” (Kolosa 3,13).

ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu ʻoe a me aʻu - ʻaʻole, ua kauoha ʻia mākou mai mālama i kahi papa inoa o nā hewa a pau i hana ʻia mai iā mākou. Ma ke ala, makemake ʻoe e mālama i kēlā papa inoa? Makemake ʻoe e mālama i kahi moʻolelo o kou ʻeha a me kou ʻeha? Makemake wale ʻoe e uwē a ʻōhumu no ke koena o kou ola? ʻAʻole makemake ke Akua i kēlā. E hāʻawi i kou mau hewa ma mua o ko lākou ʻona ʻana iā ʻoe, i kou ʻawaʻawa ma mua o ka hoʻoluhi ʻana iā ʻoe, a i kou ʻeha ma mua o ko lākou ʻeha ʻana iā ʻoe. E hāʻawi i kou hopohopo a me kou hopohopo i ke Akua.

Ua haʻi aku kekahi kanaka i kāna kauka noʻonoʻo ʻo kona mau makaʻu a me kona hopohopo i mālama iā ia mai ka hiamoe i ka pō. Ua mākaukau ke kauka i ka hōʻailona: ua ʻeha loa ʻoe. ʻO ka hapa nui o mākou, aia nā mākua i kahi kūlana paʻakikī. Ke hele nei kaʻu mau kaikamahine i ka makahiki kahi e hoʻomaka ai lākou i ke kaʻa. Me he mea lā i nehinei ua aʻo au iā lākou e hele a ʻike au iā lākou ma hope o ka huila. He manao weliweli. Ua noʻonoʻo wau e kau i kahi paʻi ma ke kaʻa o Jenny e ʻōlelo ana: Pehea wau e hoʻokele ai? kelepona i koʻu makuakāne A laila kaʻu helu kelepona. He aha kā mākou e hana ai me kēia mau makaʻu? E kau i kou kaumaha ma ke keʻa - ma ke ʻano maoli. I ka manawa aʻe e hopohopo nei ʻoe no kou olakino, a i kou home, a i kāu kālā, a i ʻole kahi huakaʻi, e hele noʻonoʻo i kēlā puʻu. E hoʻolōʻihi i kekahi manawa ma laila a e nānā hou i nā lako o nā ʻeha o Kristo.

E holo i kou manamana lima ma luna o ke poʻo ihe. E kau i kahi kui ma ka poho lima. E heluhelu i ka plaque ma kāu ʻōlelo ponoʻī. A hoopa aku i ka lepo palupalu, pulu i ke koko o ke Akua. Kona koko ana i hookahe ai nou. ʻO ka ihe i hahau iā ia nou. ʻO nā kui āna i manaʻo ai iā ʻoe. ʻO ka hōʻailona, ​​​​ka hōʻailona āna i waiho ai no ʻoe. Ua hana ʻo ia i kēia mau mea no ʻoe. ʻAʻole anei ʻoe e manaʻo ma laila ʻo ia e ʻimi nei iā ʻoe, ʻoiai ua ʻike ʻoe i nā mea a pau āna i hana ai no ʻoe ma ia wahi? A i ʻole e like me kā Paulo i kākau ai: "ʻO ka mea i mālama ʻole i kāna keiki ponoʻī, akā hāʻawi iā ia no kākou a pau - pehea lā ʻo ia e hāʻawi ʻole ai iā mākou i nā mea āpau me ia?" (Roma 8,32).

E hana maikaʻi iā ʻoe iho a lawe i kou mau makaʻu a me kou hopohopo i ke keʻa. E waiho iā lākou ma laila, me kou mau wahi ʻeha a me kou huhū. A hiki iaʻu ke hana i kekahi manaʻo hou? E lawe mai hoi i kou hora o ka make ma ke kea. Inā ʻaʻole e hoʻi mai ʻo Kristo ma mua o ia manawa, e loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi hola hope, hoʻokahi manawa hope, hoʻokahi hanu hope, hoʻokahi ka wehe ʻana o nā maka a me ka hahau hope o ka puʻuwai. I loko o kahi kekona e haʻalele ʻoe i kāu mea i ʻike ai a komo i kahi mea āu i ʻike ʻole ai. Ke hopohopo nei mākou. ʻO ka make ka mea i ʻike ʻole ʻia. Kūleʻa mau mākou i ka mea ʻike ʻole.

ʻO ia ka hihia me kaʻu kaikamahine ʻo Sara. ʻO Denalyn, kaʻu wahine a me māua he manaʻo maikaʻi loa ia. E ʻaihue mākou i nā kaikamahine mai ke kula a lawe iā lākou i kahi huakaʻi hopena pule. Hoʻopaʻa mākou i kahi hōkele a kūkākūkā i ka huakaʻi me nā kumu, akā hūnā i nā mea āpau mai kā mākou mau kaikamahine. I ko mākou hōʻike ʻana i loko o ka lumi papa o Sara i ka ʻauinalā Pōʻalima, manaʻo mākou e hauʻoli ʻo ia. Akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia. Makaʻu ʻo ia. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo ia e haʻalele i ke kula! Ua hōʻoiaʻiʻo wau iā ia ʻaʻohe mea i hiki, ua hele mai mākou e lawe iā ia i kahi e leʻaleʻa ai. ʻAʻole i hana. I ko mākou hiki ʻana i ke kaʻa, uē ʻo ia. Ua huhū ʻo ia. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo ia i ke keakea. ʻAʻole mākou makemake i kekahi mea like. Ua hoʻohiki ke Akua e hele mai i kahi manawa i manaʻo ʻole ʻia e lawe iā mākou mai ke ao hina a mākou i ʻike ai a i loko o kahi honua gula a mākou i ʻike ʻole ai. Akā, ʻaʻole mākou ʻike i kēia ao, ʻaʻole makemake mākou e hele i laila. Pihoihoi mākou i ka manaʻo o kona hiki ʻana mai. No kēia kumu, makemake ke Akua e hana mākou i ka mea a Sara i hana hope ai - hilinaʻi i kona makuakāne. "Mai makaʻu ʻoe i kou puʻuwai! E manaʻoʻiʻo i ke Akua a e manaʻoʻiʻo mai iaʻu!", ua ʻōlelo ʻo Iesū a hoʻomau: "E hoʻi hou mai au a lawe iā ʻoe i oʻu nei, i noho ai ʻoe i koʻu wahi" (Ioane 1.4,1 a me 3).

Ma ke ala, ma hope o kekahi manawa pōkole, ua hoʻomaha ʻo Sara a hauʻoli i ka hele ʻana. ʻAʻole ʻo ia makemake e hoʻi. E like ana kou manaʻo. Ke hopohopo nei ʻoe i ka hola o kou make? E waiho i kou mau manao hopohopo e pili ana i ka hora o kou make ana ma ka wawae o ke kea. E waiho iā lākou ma laila me kou mau wahi ʻeha a me kou huhū a me kou hopohopo a me kou hopohopo.
