Talangofua ‘oku aka ‘ia Kalasi
Obedience rooted in Christ

MATIU 7 (MATTHEW 7)

VEESI LAULOTO: MATIU 5:16

Pehē foki, ke ulo atu ho‘omou maama ke hā ki he kakai, ke nau mamata ki ho‘omou ngaahi ngāue lelei, pea fakamālō‘ia ‘a ho‘omou Tamai ‘oku ‘i Hēvani.

MEMORY VERSE: MATTHEW 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Ko e hokoatu ‘o e Malanga ‘i he mo’unga, ‘oku sio ia ki he ngaahi nofo fakafamili (fekau‘aki).  ‘Oku akonaki ‘a Sisu fekau’aki mo e kakai hono pule’anga, ko e kakai ‘oku ‘ikai ke nau fakamaau mo fakahalaia’i ‘a e kakai kehe.  Ko ‘etau fekau’aki mo e ‘Otua ‘i he ‘ofa, ko e me’afua ia ki he’etau tauhi hotau ngaahi va mo e kakai kehe.  ‘Oku ako’i ‘e Sisu ko e lotu ko e founga taupotu ia ki he‘etau tauhi ‘a ‘etau fekau’aki mo e ‘Otua, pea ko e founga ia ke tau ngaue’aki ketau omi kiate Ia mo ‘etau ngaahi fiema’u.  ‘Oku hoifua ‘a e ‘Otua ke ne foaki me’a’ofa lelei kiate kitautolu ‘o fakatatau ki he’etau ngaahi fiema’u.  ‘Oku ako ‘e Sisu, ko ‘etau ngaahi lotu ‘oku lavame’a kapau ‘oku tau fai totoaki, kapau ‘oku tau tui ki he’ene ngaahi palomesi, pea tau falala kakato ki hono finangalo.  Ko e tumutumu ‘o e ngaahi Malanga ‘i he mo’unga ‘oku ha ia ‘i he vahe 7 ‘i he’ene pole’i ‘a e kau fanongo ke nau fili – te nau lava nai ke muimui ‘iate ia ‘o fou ‘i he hala fasi’i ki he pule’anga, pe te nau fili ‘a e matapa falahi ‘a ee  ‘oku iku ki he ‘auha?  Ko e kalisitiane mo’oni ‘oku faka’ilonga’aki ‘a ‘ene talangofua pea ‘oku tafe ia pea mei he’ene fekau’aki vaofi mo mo’oni pea mo Sisu Kalaisi. 

Relationships are the focus of the next section of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus teaches that His kingdom people are not to be judgmental and condemning of others. The loving relationship we enjoy with God sets the standard for our relationships with others. Jesus also taught that prayer is the primary way we function in relationship with God, and He wants us to continually approach Him with our requests. He delights to give us what we need. Jesus specifically teaches that our prayers are powerful when we are persistent, when we believe God's promise, and when we trust God's heart.

Jesus' sermon builds to a climactic ending in chapter 7, when He challenged His listeners to make a choice - would they follow Him through the narrow gate into the Kingdom, or would they choose the wide gate that leads to ultimate destruction? The true Christian is marked by obedience that flows from a real, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
