Ko e founga pe ia na‘e malava ai ke tau mo‘uí

( the only way we could be saved )

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 (cont…)

Because Jesus lived a perfect life, when he willingly suffered the penalty for my sin on the cross, it was a right, adequate, and perfect substitute for my sin and for your sin. Jesus could identify with what we go through, but because he lived perfectly in obedience, he became the perfect substitute for our sin. And because he took our sin upon himself, having identified with us, when he rose from the grave and ascended to his Father, he became the perfect advocate for us. He knows our strengths and our weaknesses. Because he retains his human-like features and functions in his divine nature, he still understands the entirety of our human experience and knows exactly what we need.
