Ko e kelesi na‘e foaki ‘e Siosifá
FOLOFOLA
Matiu 1:19
Pea ko Siosifa ko hono hoa, neongo ko e tangata tauhi tu‘utu‘uni, ka na‘e ‘ikai te ne loto ke faka‘ilo ia, ka na‘a ne pehē ke tukuange fakafufū pē

FAKAMATALA
Fakatatau ki he lao fakasiu, na’e malava pe ke tukuange ‘e Siosifa ‘a Mele pe te ne tolo maka‘i ke mate koe’uhi ko ‘ene fe’auaki.  Ka na’e ‘ikai te ne fai sauna kiate ia, ka na‘e fakahaa’i (foaki) ‘e Siosifa ‘a e kelesi kia Mele. Koe‘uhí  ko e  fili ‘e Siosifa ke ne foaki kelesi kia Melé, na‘e hoko mai ai ‘a Sisu ke ne foaki kelesi kiate kinautolu kuo ne ui ke hoko ko ‘ene fanau.

Ko e kelesi, ko e me’a faingata’a ke te foaki ki ha taha koe’uhi he ko e me’a’ofa ia ‘o ha fakamolemole ‘oku ‘ikai tuha mo e tokotaha ko ia. Ka ko hono malie, ko e kelesi ko ha taha’i mafai fakaofo.  ‘Oku ‘i ai ha taha kuo ne fai ha kovi kiate koe ‘i he kuohili pea ‘ikai totonu ke ke fakamolemole’i?  Fili he ‘aho ni ke ke foaki ki he tokotaha ko ia ‘a e me’a’ofa ko e kelesi.

‘E ‘Otua, foaki mai kiate au ‘a e ivi ke u lava ‘o fakamolemole’i ‘a e kakai kehe ‘o hange ko ho’o fakamolemole’i au.  ‘Emeni.

The grace that Joseph offered
SCRIPTURE
"Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly." Matthew 1:19

OBSERVATION
Not only did Joseph have the option to divorce Mary, but he could have had her killed for infidelity. But rather than get revenge against her, he chose to show her grace. Because
Joseph chose to give grace, it allowed for the arrival of Jesus, who gives grace to all who accept it.

APPLICATION
Grace is a hard thing to give to others since it is undeserved forgiveness. However, grace is a powerful thing. Who has wronged you in the past and doesn't deserve your
forgiveness? Consider giving them the gift of grace today.

PRAYER
God, give me the strength to forgive others as you have forgiven me. Amen.

Ko e hā e ‘a e kelesi ‘o fakatatau ki ho‘o mahino? –
(Give your best definition of grace to the best of your understanding)

(Name a situation that was very difficult for you to deal with, but God gave you strength and grace to respond in a Godly way?)
