CHRIST THE KING FINDS YOU

KO KALAISI KO E TU‘I, ‘OKU NE KUMI MAI KIATE KOE

ZECHARIAH 9:9

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is righteous and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

SAKALAIA 9:9

Tome‘e ke lahi, ta‘ahine Saione; Hiki mavava, ta‘ahine Selusalema: Ko ena ho tu‘i ‘oku me‘a mai kiate koe; Ko e faitotonu ia mo fai fakamo‘ui foki: Ko e ‘Eiki fa‘a kātaki, pea ‘oku ne heka ki ha ‘asi, ‘Io, ki ha ki‘i manu ko e tama ‘a ha ‘asi fefine.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko Kalasi pe   

You do not seek Him, but He seeks you. You do not find Him, He finds you. For the preachers come from Him not from you; their sermons come from Him, not from you; your faith comes from Him, not from you; everything that faith works in you comes from Him, not from you; and where He does not come, you remain outside; and where there is no Gospel there is no God, but only sin and damnation, free will may do, suffer, work, and live as it may and can.

Therefore you should not ask where to begin to be godly; there is no beginning, except where the King enters and is proclaimed. He cometh "unto thee." Thee, thee, what does this mean? Is it not enough that He is your King? If He is yours, how can He say He comes to you? All this is stated by the prophet to present Christ in an endearing way and invite to faith.
