Fehu‘i #23
Ko e ha e ‘uhinga
na‘e pau ai ke hoko hotau Huhu‘í ko ha
‘Otua mo‘oní ?
Koe‘uhí ‘i hono tu‘unga ‘Otuá, ‘e haohaoa mo ‘aonga
lahi ‘a ‘ene talangofuá mo hono fakamamahi‘í; pea ‘ikai ko ia pe, ka ke ne
lava ‘o matu‘uaki ‘a e houhau tapu ‘a e ‘Otuá koe‘uhí ko e angahalá pea ke
ne ikuna‘i foki mo mate.
Why must the Redeemer be truly God?
That because of
his divine nature his obedience and suffering would
be perfect and
effective; and also that he would be able to bear the
righteous anger of
God against sin and yet overcome death.
Ngaue 2:24 (Uesi)
ʻA ia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he veteange ʻo e
mamahi ʻo e mate: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa taʻofi ʻaki ia.
(Molitoni)
Pea ne vete ‘e he ‘Otua hono kafai ‘e mate, ‘o toe
fokotu‘u ia: kae fēfē, he na‘e ‘ikai lava ke mapuke ai ia.
Acts 2:24
God raised him up,
loosing the pangs of death, because it was not
possible for him
to be held by it.
Commentary
- LEO SCHUSTER
(cont…)
Similarly,
Jesus himself numerous times affirmed his divinity and that he
was one with the Father. On one occasion, some of his listeners understood what
he was claiming and tried to stone him, explaining
that they were stoning him not for any good work, but for blasphemy:,
"You, being a man, make yourself
God" John 10:33). The
book of Revelation describes Jesus as the Alpha and the Omega, the One
"who was and is and is to come"
(1:8). Indeed, he is no mere man. He
is truly God.
