Sapate Tisema 10, 2017

Hoko ko e tangata ke lau Ia ko e tangata
( So He might identify with us )

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 - BRYAN CHAPELL

Why do we need a Redeemer who is truly human? One reason is so that he can identify with us. The Bible says he was "in every respect…tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15). He went through our experience, so he understands what we go through. He is our High Priest. He understands how we suffer. We understand that God can identify with us, but even as he identified with us - by having lived a hard life, by having been humiliated, and by having gone through humble circumstances - he did it with perfect obedience, not doubting the love of his Father and not wavering from his Father's path.
