Medo da morte
O medo da morte é universal, mas Cristo o venceu. A Bíblia ensina que para quem crê, a morte perdeu o aguilhão — não é mais motivo de terror, mas porta para a eternidade com Deus.
Cristo venceu a morte
Jesus assumiu carne e sangue para, pela morte, destruir o que tinha o poder da morte e libertar os que viviam em escravidão pelo medo dela.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻae kakano mo e toto, naʻe ʻai foki ʻe ia ʻae anga ko ia; koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻi he mate ʻaia naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae mālohi ʻoe mate, ko e tēvolo; Mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu naʻe moʻua pōpula ʻi he manavahē ki he mate, ʻi henau moʻui kotoa pē.
Ko ia, pea ka ʻosi hono ai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, mo e ʻai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate, ʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kuo tohi, "Kuo folo hifo ʻae mate ʻe he mālohi." "ʻE mate, kofaʻā haʻo huhu? ʻE faʻitoka, kofaʻā hoʻo mālohi?" Ko e huhu ʻoe mate ko e angahala; pea ko e mālohi ʻoe angahala ko e fono. Kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke tau mālohi ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
Pea ko ia, kuo tau tanu fakataha mo ia ʻi he papitaiso ki he mate: koeʻuhi ke hangē hono fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate ʻe he mālohi ʻoe tamai, ke pehē foki ʻetau felakaʻi ʻi he moʻui foʻou. He kapau kuo tau tō fakataha mo ia ʻi he tatau ʻo ʻene pekia, te tau ʻi he tatau foki ʻo ʻene toetuʻu:
A promessa da vida eterna
Quem ouve a Palavra e crê já passou da morte para a vida. O amor perfeito lança fora o medo, até o medo da morte.
"Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fanongo ki heʻeku lea, ʻo tui kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui taʻengata, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamalaʻia ia; ka kuo hao mei he mate ki he moʻui.
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, "Ko au ko e toetuʻu, mo e moʻui: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ka ne mate ia, ʻe moʻui pe ia:
Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ki heʻeku lea, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ia ki he mate."
He naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻae ʻOtua ki māmani, naʻa ne foaki hono ʻAlo pe taha naʻe fakatupu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tui kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata.
ʻOku ʻikai ha manavahē ʻi he ʻofa; ka ʻoku tekeʻi atu ʻae manavahē ʻe he ʻofa haohaoa: he ʻoku ʻi he manavahē ʻae mamahi. Ko ia ia ʻoku manavahē, ʻoku teʻeki ke fakahaohaoa ia ʻi he ʻofa.
Não temas
Jesus disse: não temais os que matam o corpo. No vale da sombra da morte, o Senhor está conosco como pastor e protetor.
Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻae sino, ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae laumālie: kae manavahē muʻa kiate ia ʻoku mafai ke fakaʻauha ʻae laumālie mo e sino ʻi heli.
ʻIo, neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe malumalu ʻoe mate,
ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki ha kovi:
he ʻoku ke ʻiate au; ko hoʻo vaʻa ʻakau mo ho tokotoko ʻoku na fakafiemālieʻi au.
Pea ʻe holoholo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ai ha mate, pe ha ongosia, pe ha tangi, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ai ha mamahi: he kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa muʻa."
ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki ha meʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia te ke mamahi ai: vakai, ʻe lī ʻe he tēvolo ʻa homou niʻihi ki he fale fakapōpula, ko homou ʻahiʻahiʻi, pea te mou moʻua ʻi he mamahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu—ka ke fai angatonu pe ʻo aʻu ki he mate, pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae pale ʻoe moʻui.
Te ne hū ʻi he fiemālie:
te nau mālōlō ʻi honau ngaahi mohenga,
ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu.
"He ko ia ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui ia."
ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, "Koeʻuhi ko koe ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; pea lau ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ki he tāmateʻi." Ka ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku tau ikuna pea mālohi lahi ʻiate ia naʻe ʻofa kiate kitautolu. He ʻoku ou ʻilo pau, ʻe ʻikai ʻi he he kau ʻāngelo, pe ʻi he kau pule, pe ʻi he ngaahi mālohi, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻi heni, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko, Pe ʻi he māʻolunga, pe ʻi he māʻulalo, pe ʻi ha meʻa kehe ʻe taha kuo ngaohi, ʻe ʻikai mafai ia ke fakamāvae ʻakitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki.
