CHRIST: BRIGHTNESS OF GLORY

KO KALISI: KO E ULO LAHI ‘A HONO LANGILANGI

JOHN 8:12

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

SIONE 8:12

Pea toe folofola ‘a Sīsū kiate kinautolu, ‘o pehē, Ko au pē ko e Maama ‘o Māmani: ko ia ‘oku ne muimui kiate au, ‘e ‘ikai ‘aupito te ne fononga ‘i he po‘uli, ka te ne ma‘u ‘a e maama ‘o e mo‘ui.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko e Kalasi pe   

AIthough this only begotten Son, who is now to us the brightness of His Father's glory and the express image of His person, was formerly made known to the Jews, as we have elsewhere shown from Paul that He was the Deliverer under the old dispensation, it is nevertheless true, as Paul himself elsewhere declares, that "God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6); [this is] because, when He appeared in this His image, He in a manner made Himself visible, His previous appearance having been shadowy and obscure.

JOHN CALVIN

Neongo ko e ‘Alo Tofu pe taha, ‘a ia ‘oku Ne hoko ko e maama ulo lahi ‘o e langilangi ‘o ‘Ene Tamai pea ko e ‘imisi ‘o Hono pesona, pea na’e ‘ilo ia ‘i mu’a ‘e he kau Siu, ‘i hono fakahā ‘e Paula ko e Fakatau’ataina ‘i he Fuakava Motu’a, ‘oku mo’oni foki, ‘i hono toe pehē pe ‘e Paula, “He ko e ‘Otua ia na‘a ne folofola, ‘E ulo mai ha maama mei he po‘uli; pea ko ia ia kuo ne ulo ‘i homau loto, koe‘uhi ke ai ha ulo atu ‘o e ‘ilo ki he lāngilangi ‘o e ‘Otua, ‘i he fofonga ‘o Sīsū Kalaisi” (2 Kolinito 4:6).  Koe’uhi´ ‘i he taimi ‘o ‘ene hoko mai ‘i Hono ‘imisi, kuo ne fakahā mai Ia ‘i ha tu’unga ‘oku tau ala mahino’i, neongo ko ha ‘ata pe ia ‘o ha ngaahi fakataipe ‘i he kuonga mu’a.
