Tokonaki kotoa ‘e Sisu ‘a e mo‘ua ‘oku ‘eke ‘e he ‘Otuá

( Jesus supplied everything that we needed to satisfy God )

Fehu‘i #22

Ko e ha e ‘uhinga ‘oku pau ai ke hoko hotau Huhu‘í  ko ha tangata mo‘oní ?

( Why must the Redeemer be truly human?)

Koe‘uhí, ke ne fakakakato ma‘a kitautolu, ‘i hotau tu‘unga tangatá ‘a e talangofua haohaoa ki he laó pea ke ne fua ‘a e tautea ‘o e angahala ‘a e tangatá, pea ke ne kaungā ongo‘i hotau tu‘unga vaivaí.

(That in human nature he might on our behalf perfectly obey the

whole law and suffer the punishment for human sin, and also that he

might sympathize with our weaknesses)

Hepelu 2:7

Ko ia ai, na‘e pau ke fakatatau ai ia mo hono ngaahi tokoua ‘i he me‘a kotoa pē, koe‘uhi ke ne hoko ko ha Taula‘eiki Lahi ‘oku ‘ofangofua mo lototō, ke ne tokanga ki he‘enau ngaahi me‘a mo e ‘Otua, koe‘uhi ke ne fai ‘a e fakalelei ‘i he angahala ‘a e kakai.

HEBREWS 2:17

Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Commentary - THABITI ANYABWILE (cont…)

It's absolutely essential that what we see in Christ is perfect righteousness, because he's supplying that righteousness on our behalf. All the righteousness we will ever need is in the Son of God who took upon himself our flesh, our likeness, our human nature. Not only does he positively supply the righteousness, but on the cross, our Savior dies and pays the penalty that humanity owed. He dies in our place. We owe God not only righteousness, but now because we didn't supply that righteousness, we also owe God our lives, our death, our blood. Christ takes our place, and he supplies to God the sacrifice on our behalf that satisfies God's demands for righteousness and his righteous determination to punish sin.
