Salvador
Jesus é o Salvador do mundo. Desde a manjedoura até a cruz e a ressurreição, toda a Escritura aponta para Aquele que veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.
O Salvador nasceu
Na plenitude dos tempos, Deus enviou seu Filho ao mundo. O anjo declarou: 'Hoje vos nasceu um Salvador, que é Cristo, o Senhor.'
He kuo ʻaloʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻae Fakamoʻui, ʻaia ko Kalaisi ko e ʻEiki.
Ko ia, ʻi heʻene ʻi he tatau mo e ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe ia ko ha faʻaoa ke na taha mo e ʻOtua: Ka naʻa ne fakamasivesivaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻae tatau mo e tamaioʻeiki, pea fanauʻi ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata: Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata, naʻa ne fakamoʻulaloaʻi ia, pea talangofua ki he mate, ʻio, ʻae mate ʻi he ʻakau.
"Ka ko Sihova au, ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite,
pea ʻikai te ke ʻilo ha ʻotua kehe ka ko au pe:
he ʻoku ʻikai mo ha fakamoʻui ka ko au pe.
O sacrifício redentor
Jesus deu a própria vida por nós. Ele é a propiciação pelos nossos pecados e o autor da salvação eterna para todos os que lhe obedecem.
Pea ko e feilaulau totongi ia ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala: pea ʻikai ʻatautolu pe, ka koeʻuhi ko māmani kotoa pē.
Ko eni ʻae ʻofa, naʻe ʻikai ko ʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ka ko ʻene ʻofa kiate kitautolu, ʻo ne fekau hono ʻAlo ko e feilaulau totongi ʻi heʻetau angahala.
He kapau ne fakalelei ʻakitautolu ki he ʻOtua ʻi he pekia ʻa hono ʻAlo, ka ko e ngaahi fili ʻakitautolu, pea tā ʻe ʻāsili hotau fakamoʻui ʻi heʻene moʻui, he kuo tau fakalelei.
Koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻilo naʻe ʻikai ke huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou moʻui taʻeʻaonga, ʻi he talatupuʻa mei hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe ʻauha, ko e siliva mo e koula; Ka ʻi he taʻataʻa maʻongoʻonga ʻo Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ha lami taʻehanoʻila, pea taʻehanomele:
ʻAia ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻae huhuʻi hono taʻataʻa, ko e fakamolemole ʻoe ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻofa;
Kuo tutuki au ke mate ʻo hangē ko Kalaisi: ka ʻoku ou moʻui; ka ʻoku ʻikai ko au, ka ko Kalaisi ʻoku moʻui ʻiate au: pea ko ʻeku moʻui eni ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ou moʻui ʻi he tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa kiate au, ʻo ne foaki ia ʻe ia koeʻuhi ko au.
O caminho da salvação
Jesus é o mediador da nova aliança. Ele vive para interceder por nós e pode salvar perfeitamente todos os que se achegam a Deus por meio dele.
Pea kuo fakahaohaoa ia, pea ne hoko ko e tupuʻanga ʻoe moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku talangofua kiate ia;
Ko ia foki ʻoku ne faʻa fai ai ke fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻakinautolu ʻoku haʻu ki he ʻOtua ʻiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene moʻui maʻuaipē ke hūfakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
Pea ko e meʻa eni kuo hoko ai ia ko e fakalaloa ʻoe fuakava foʻou, kae fai ʻi he pekia ʻae totongi ki he ngaahi angahala naʻe fai ʻi he ʻuluaki fuakava, pea maʻu ʻekinautolu kuo ui ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe nofoʻanga taʻengata.
ʻO sio pe kia Sisu ko e kamataʻanga mo e ngataʻanga ʻoe tui; ʻaia ne ne kātaki ʻae pekia ʻi he ʻakau, mo ne taʻetokanga ki he fakamā, ko e meʻa ʻi he fiefia naʻe tuku ʻi hono ʻao, pea kuo nofo eni ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
He kuo fai angahala kotoa pē, pea tomui ʻi he fakamālō mei he ʻOtua. Pea ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi ko e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pē ʻi heʻene ʻaloʻofa, koeʻuhi ko e totongi huhuʻi ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:
Ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku maʻu ʻae tokoni mei he ʻOtua, ko ia ʻoku ou kei fai ai ʻo hoko ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo fakamoʻoni ki he iiki mo e lalahi, ʻo ʻikai ha meʻa kehe ka ko ia ʻe he kau palōfita mo Mōsese ʻe hoko mai: Koeʻuhi ʻe mamahi ʻa Kalaisi, pea ko e ʻuluaki ia ʻi he toetuʻu mei he mate, pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia ʻae maama ki he kakai, mo e ngaahi Senitaile.
Pea lea ʻae ʻāngelo ki he ongo fafine, ʻo pehēange, "ʻOua naʻa mo manavahē ʻakimoua: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku mo kumi ʻa Sisu, ʻaia naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau. ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ia: he kuo toetuʻu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene lea. Mo omi, ʻo mamata ki he potu naʻe tokoto ai ʻae ʻEiki.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku moʻui ʻa hoku Huhuʻi,
pea ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi māmani ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
