KONGA II
Kalaisi, Huhu‘i, Kelesi

Tokonaki Tisema 9, 2017

Na‘a ne tali e nunu‘a ‘o e koví koe‘uhí ko kitautolu
( He submitted to such great evils for our sake )

Fehu‘i #21

Ko e Huhu‘i fē fē ‘oku fiema‘u ke ne fakafoki kitautolu ki he ‘Otuá ?

( What sort of Redeemer is needed to bring us back to God?)

Ko ha Tokotaha ‘oku tangata mo‘oni pea toe ‘Otua mo‘oni.

( One who is truly human and also truly God.)

‘Aisea 9:6

He kuo ‘alo‘i mai ha Tama, Kuo tuku mai ha Foha: Pea ‘e ‘i hono uma ‘a e pule‘anga. Pea ko e huafa ‘e ui‘aki Ko Fakaofo - ‘ene-fale‘i, ko e Helo-‘Otua, Ko e Tamai Ta‘engata, ko e ‘Eiki ‘o e Melino.

 ISAIAH 9:6

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And  the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,  Mighty God, Everlasting Father,  Prince of Peace.


Commentary - AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO

He who existed as the Son of God before all ages, without a beginning, deigned to become the Son of Man in these recent years. He did this although He who submitted to such great evils for our sake had done no evil and although we, who were the recipients of so much good at His hands, had done nothing to merit these benefits. Begotten by the Father, He was not made by the Father; He was made Man in the Mother whom He Himself had made, so that He might exist here for a while, sprung from her who could never and nowhere have existed except through His power.
