!!Ko e Polopolo ‘eni, toe 'a e Utu-ta'u!!
Potu Folofola: 1 Kol 15.20, 23-24: "Ka ko eni, kuo fokotu’u ‘a Kalaisi mei
he Pekia ko e polopolo ‘o e fa’ahinga kuo mohe. Ka ‘e takitaha ‘i hono vahenga;
ko e polopolo ko Kalaisi; hoko ai ‘a kinautolu ‘oku ‘o Kalaisi, ‘o ka fai ‘ene
ha’ele mai, Toki hoko ‘a e ngata’anga." Christ has been raised from the
dead, the first fruits of those who have died. But each in his own order:
Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ, Then
comes the End.
Ko e toetu’u ‘a Kalaisi mei he Pekia, ko e polopolo ‘o e fa’ahinga kuo
mohe. Kuo tokolahi ‘a e kau Pekia, ka ko e fuofua toetu’u pe eni ko Sisu. Pea
ko Sisu pe taha kuo toetu’u. ‘Oku ‘i ai mo e tala’ofa, ko e polopolo eni kuo
lava, ka ‘e ‘i ai mo e utu ta’u lahi. Kuo mahino e toetu’u pea koe POLOPOLO
FOKI IA….FAKAMANATU ATU ‘OKU TOE MAI ‘AE UTU TA’U….‘E hoko ia ‘i he ha’ele
‘anga ua mai, pea ko e fa’ahinga pe ‘e kau ki ai ‘a kinautolu ‘oku ‘o Kalaisi ‘io
na’a TUI KI HE MO’ONI MOE ‘UHINGA ‘OE TOETU’U. For us, because the first fruits
has happened, our assurance of the main harvest is certain….the
greatest privilege we will claim for ourselves is that we had the opportunity
to labour for his namesake here in this life. Make the most of it, Paul says ʻOua naʻa tuku ke fakahala ʻi kimoutolu: talaʻehai
ʻoku ala paʻusi ʻi ʻa e ʻOtua; he ʻilonga pe meʻa ʻoku to ʻe ha tangata, ko ia
ia 8 te ne utu foki. He ko ia ʻoku ne to ʻi hono kakano, te ne utu mei he
kakano ʻa e ʻauha: ka ko ia ʻoku ne to ʻi he laumalie, te ne utu mei he 9
laumalie ʻa e moʻui taʻengata (Kaletia 6:7-9)
