Hey Seni, malo e tau mo ena. I like to take this passage up with you because I remember it was a sermon I heard by NT Wright on this passage at a Conference many moons ago, that really inspired me!

Kataki ne fai e ki'i li'aki lotu he uike kuo 'osi mo e kosipeli moe tala 'e haveki e fu'u temipale (Ma'ake). Interesting enough, the very heart of New Testament christology 'oku fa'o he temple theology. Judaism always have a simple where Heaven & Earth come together. Tau lau e ngaahi Saame 'oku mahino ko e 'alu ki Selusalema 'oku 'ikai ko e 'alu ki "hevani", but you are going into the place where heaven and earth overlap! Jesus fulfilled all the yearly Jewsih festivals that were held in Jerusalem .. etc.

When we read at the begining of John, John makes a point of Jesus as the "glory" of God. And John builds up 'ene kosipeli 'o climax ki he'ene pehee mai - When you lift me up, I will draw all to me! Vakai ki he Judaism and the temple with their theology! - The temple is where the "glory" of God is found. John is telling us that Jesus is where the "glory" is. You don't find the glory of God in a place of bricks & mortar! 'Oku 'ikai ma'u e 'Otua mo hono langilangi mo hono ngaahi naaunaau ki he ngaahi fu'u fale 'oku tau langaaaaaaa .... 'oku tau fematematei he toutou misinale ki aiiiiii ....

You lift me up (the cross) and I will draw all to me! (tau manatu kia 'Epalahame). The cross is where everyone comes to to find God's glory! You don't go to Jerusalem anymore, the Temple is not where you should be drawn to anymore! This Jesus and his body is where all the glory is found.

Kata foki kia Pailate mo Sisu:
Manatu'i e ngaahi uike mai koee ki he kole 'a e ongo Ako  (Sione & Semisi) - ke ma takitaha mu'a ho tafa'aki when you are "glorified"! I mentioned this exchange between Jesus & Pailate he ko e underlying theology tatau pee - It is about doing power in this world! POWER. The new sets of power structure (kingdom - pule'anga) 'oku ha'u mo e tama ko eni ko Sisu. And how John & James didn't understand, how the public (Jews) didn't understand, and now how Pilate hasn't a clue!

Perhaps, the big questions is - Do we (the church) understand? How does it work?

where is the so-called Roman justice??

Koe palopalema he 'aho ni kuo kalusefai 'a Mo'oni he ngaahi feinga ki he justice...talamai there is no truth...truth is relative...etc....what happens when we pursue justice without truth??

---------------

The only truth Pilate knew was that comes out of a sword. Ko e truth 'o e empire - of the kingdom of power systems that are formed and come out of this world - comes out of a barrell of a gun!

Ko e me'a ia ne tala 'e Loma - ko eni 'oku mau ha'u mo e founga pule 'e melino ai 'a mamani, pea 'oku mau 'omai e justice! By the way, it would come at a cost - tax! Pea kapau he'ikai ke ke tali e founga pule ko eni (Loma) we will find a way to make sure you are quashed and get rid off! Ko hai ko aa 'a Palaapasa? I think he is the symbol of the choice the Jews leader had at the time. Traying to get rid of the the Romans in the only way everyone knows! He is the guy who wants to bring in the kingdom - but a robber, a criminal .. etc. That's the man they want!

But when we read the text (John), the Jewish leaders played the political theology very cleverly! How? We have law and Jesus ought to die for claiming he is the Son of God! Kamata ke ilifia 'a Pailate ...
Pilate ask- Where are you from? Jesus - no answer! Pilate: do you know I have the power to free you? Jesus: you have no power over me, unless it is given you from above!

"unless it is given you from above" - God's intend to have power structure in the world! It is vital that there be power structures otherwise bullies will always win!
OK, Rome this is a warining to you. You have power but you hold it with responisibility to creator God. If you do not acknowledge this God it is going to get worse! But watch what the public say - if you let this man go, you are letting a man who claims to be a king go which means Cesear isn't the only king?

Fai ha feinga to focus in to what the kingdom Jesus is bringing may look like

"unless it is given you from above" - God's intend to have power structure in the world! It is vital that there be power structures otherwise bullies will always win!
OK, Rome this is a warining to you. You have power but you hold it with responisibility to creator God. If you do not acknowledge this God it is going to get worse! But watch what the public say - if you let this man go, you are letting a man who claims to be a king go which means Cesear isn't the only king?

Fai ha feinga to focus in to what the kingdom Jesus is bringing may look like
=================================================================
Malo tv.  sai ia ke tau unpack e lesoni ko enii he maama e talanoa fakalukufua fekau'aki mo e Pule'anga moe Temipalee moe hoko mai 'a Kalaisii.

Ne fa'o 'i he temipale 'a e fetaulaki'anga 'a e tangata mo e 'Otua, taimi mo 'itaniti, kaha'u mo e lolotonga ni.  'I he fehangahangai 'a Pailato mo Sisu ko e fehangahangai 'a e city of man (kingdom of man) and city of God(kingdom of God).... 

'I he potalanoa 'a Sisu mo Pailato, 'oku mahino ai e me'a lalahi 'e fa ne lave kiai 'a N.T Wright fekau'aki moe Pule'anga 'o e 'Otua 1) restoration of beauty (new creation) 2) restoration of relationship--between God and man and man/(woman) 3) restoration of true spirituality (His Kingdom merges with us) and 4) restoration of justice(based on truth)

Fakaafe'i 'e Sisu 'a Pailato: 1) to a relationship "Ko ho'o fie'ilo mo'oni kiate Au pee ko ho'o fanongo talanoa pee?";  2) to pursue truth...he na'e tala 'ehe kau Siu 'oku NE ta'ofi kinautolu mei he tukuhau kia Sisa.  Pea ne 'osi ai e teteki 'a Pailato na'a 'oku mo'oni e hoko e tangata ni ko e fakamanavahee ki he pule'anga Lomaa. 

Talaatu 'e Pailato, "Ko ha Siu au keu kau he'enau ngaahi fakafa'ahi mo enau filifilimanako...ko mautolu Loma 'oku mau tokanga ki he fakamaau totonu, pea 'oku 'ikai ngata aii 'oku 'ikai keu 'ilo 'e au pee ko e Misaia koe ko e tu'i Siu,  ko ia ai talamai pee koe haa ho'o hiaa, koe ha e me'a ne makatu'unga ai hono 'omi koe 'ehe kakai ni(Siu)?"

'Ikai tali hangatonu e Sisu e fehu'i kae pehe atu, "'Oku 'iai hoku pule'anga...'oku fakalaumalie, 'oku 'i mamani, ka 'oku 'ikai 'o mamani,  'oku 'ikai fiema'u mafai hangee ko  ko e founga pule e mamani...tu'o tolu e 'asi MY KINGDOM pea tu'o taha e MY SERVANTS...

fakamahino 'e Sisu, "I'm not a threat, I don't force anyone pea ko hono fakamo'onii he 'oku 'ikai ha fakafepaki 'eku kau sevaniti ki he ni'ihi ko eni 'oku nau 'omi auu."  This is an invitation to true spirituality...an invitation to connect with Him..."Pailato, this is a different kind of Kingdom? seeking to rule the hearts in truth and justice..Pailato I'm a King...the King ka 'oku 'ikai hangee koe tu'i 'o e maama ko 'enii"  Ko e fakaafe 'a Sisu ke fakakaukau 'a Pailato na'a kuo taimi ke connect mo Hono Pule'angaa.  Faingamalie ke overlap e city of God and city of man...new creation, restoration of beauty...

Fakamaatoato atu 'a Pailato, "Good argument!! 'aia ko e mo'oni pee ko e tu'i koe?"  Hangee kuo kamata ke ongo'i 'a'apa(reverence) mo manavahee 'a Pailato.  'Oku 'ikai ko ha fehu'i fakakata/tauhele he 'oku 'ikai tali mai 'aki e Sisu ha fehu'i, ka 'oku 'oange 'e Sisu e "content" of who he is...he kuo ma'u e Pailato e "good intent"...he really wants to know from Jesus whether he is a King or not.

Tali mai 'e Sisu "Pailato, as you said...yes I am a King...Ko e 'uhinga ia hoku fanau'i, pea ko e 'uhinga ia 'eku ha'u ki mamanii (I existed before I was born).  My kingdom is a kingdom of truth.  In fact, you are facing the Truth Pilate....My kingdom does not use force but to uphold Truth...to testify to the Truth...Ko kinautolu 'oku 'o e Mo'onii 'oku nau fakafanongo kiate Au.."  Pehee 'e Sisu ko kinautolu 'oku tauhi mo muimui  ki he'eku ngaahi fekau, tenau 'ilo e mo'oni pea 'e fakatau'ataina kinautolu 'ehe mo'onii."  Fakaafe'i 'e Sisu 'a Pailato ki he Justice pea ke connect mo Ia in a Jesus-Pilate relationship...be my disciple.  "Pailato ka 'oku ke kumi ki he mo'onii moe fakamaau totonu, fanongo mai kiate au??"

Fehu'i atu 'a Pailato "What is truth?"  Ko e fehu'i fakamanavahee ena 'oku 'ikai fietali 'ehe tokolahi he to'utangata ni.  Like Pilate, they don't want to listen to an answer...especially an answer from Jesus.

Ko e konga fakamamahi ena e talanoaa ko e 'ikai nofo 'a Pailato ke na fakafanongo kia Sisu, pea mo e 'ikai ha toe lea mai 'a Sisu ke tali e fehu'i ko 'enaa.  Jesus exposed the sinfulness of human heart.  Our lack of desire to face who we are. 

When we pursue truth, we meet a Person, a King who invites us to a new relationship, new life, etc.  a new dimension of reality..His Kingdom consists of temples.  We are show forth the beauty of the new creation....our connection with God and others as He indwells the hearts of the believers, our lifestyle of justice, and authentic true spirituality.

At the end, the judge (Pailato) is being judged by the Defendant....

Power of God ("mafai" 'o e 'Otua)

Pau pe foki ke feinga'i ke lalave 'a e malanga ki he taumu'a 'o e uike - Christ the King Sunday. BUt I am more interested in unpacking and exploring what John may be trying to say! Ko e ngaue'aki 'o e lea "tu'i" 'oku ne 'ave kitautolu ki he fakakaukau 'o e mafai. Jesus came to change the way the world is! Koe me'a ia 'oku 'asi ai e fepaki 'a e "kingdom of God - where Jesus is procalimed KING", pea mo e ngaahi founga pule'anga 'o e mamani (powers of the world) - Temo, Monarch, Republic ... etc.

Jesus and his power structure (political system) come to change the way the world is! - How? Vakai ki he fakakaukau 'oku ngali 'oku mono mai 'e Talaki Finau (kataki fakatonutonu mai) - fiu au he fua kavenga he pule fakaleveleva 'a Sisu ... etc. 'Oku 'i ai 'ene mo'oni! Why do we preach every wk 'a e Tu'i 'a Sisu, ka e 'ihe tafa'aki 'e taha we have a lot of struggle with the way we do church?

That's why I think this passage (and Mark 10) is political - it's about power and how we exercise power in the way we live as a church (and country).

Ko e poini ia 'o e discourse between James, John & Jesus (Mark 10). "ransom for many" 'oku tau 'omai pe ia ke satisfy our doctrine of substitutionary attonement. But the context of the verse (Mark 10:45) is within he potalanoa 'a Sione, Semisi & Sisu fekau'aki mo 'ena kole ke na takitaha e ongo tafa'aki 'o Sisu ha'ane hoko 'o Tu'i!
But historically we read Mark 10:45, and jumb to personal attonement - kihe hoko 'a Sisu ko e Tu'i 'i he'eku mo'ui, fakamolemole 'eku hia peau kau ki hono Pule'anga. I think it's not a problem. But I want to highlight the context (as mentioned above), and how personal messege is within that. Ko e me'a leva 'oku hoko e 'oku mono hake (Talaki Finau) ...

You get your personal king, and then you end up living in a little bubble, hoping that the powers (church) don't hurt you! - fai ai pee umiuminoa ke 'oua mu'a 'e hanga 'e he Falealea Tonga 'o hiki e tax, 'oua toe lahi e faka'amu misinale ... etc.

I think that is what's happening here with Pilate and Jesus! It's about power struggle and how no one really make sense of the Kingdom (founga ngaue of a power system) 'oku feinga 'a Sisu ke fakahinohino. Ask Desmond Tutu! Ko e feinga 'a e Pisope ni ke ta'ofi e Laulanu 'a 'Afilika - he was on his knees!

-----------------------

Perhaps, you would want to expand on this. I rather like the idea that there isn't such thing as Spiritual Kingdom (Jesus) & Earthly Kingdom (Pilate). Jesus axctually want the people (Jews in his time) to live " ... Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven ...". Whatever it is you & I do daily is very much within one system!

My point about the conversation bet Jesus & Pilate koe fakafofonga 'e Sisu e founga pule'anga, pea fakafofonga mai 'e Pilate 'a e founga Pule'anga. Now, Barabbas is actually a representative of a power system (hangee pee ko e kau fakafa'afa'ahi politikale) he ko hono puke 'o fakahuu pilisone ko 'ene taki mai 'ene ki'i kau angatu'u ki he pule 'a Loma. The Jews (quietly) supported those guys (Barabbas and the like), but when the Romans exercise their power and crush these political protest, they (quietly) walk away waiting for the next one.

When Jesus appear on the scene, they thought ... hey .. this guy may be the one, since he shows signs of it! But then Jesus, started to tell mo fakamatala 'a e anga 'o e Pule'anga 'oku "tu'i" ai, ne 'ikai mahino - Why? because people are used to rule by sword, by guns, by hanging protesters on a cross ... etc.

Desmond Tutu understand this. Gahndi of India unstood this ... etc. And look at what these men do to their countries!

Kapau ko e hoko mai e "His Kingdom" to merge with this world "kingdom" ke fai e fakafo'ou (bring beauty from the ugliness of sin), to establish a relationship, to bring justice, it has to deal with sin...therefore the text seems to deal both with Pilate as an individual and the system in which he operates.  Pea 'e fakatou'aonga pee text ki he individual, church, and politics.

Mahino pe foki ko 'etau lau e Tohitapu (as Tongans or Tongan Americans or Tongan Kiwis or plastic Tongans) 'oku faka'esia 'ehe ngaahi assumptions that are deep within those culture. Hangee koe lave 'a Seni, it is probably important then to make sure we read the whole Bible (for all its worth - and not just the bit that's important to you at this moment), he 'e subverge eventually when you get to Revelation pea tene 'oatu/'omai e worldview 'oku 'uhinga ki ai the whole narrative of the Bible!

Ko e me'a malie eni ongotama: 'oku ou tui 'oku faingata'a ke 'omai e kosipeli ko ee - 'o e fakamo'ui mahaki, ngaahi mana, the parables, feasting with sinners and all that - on the one hands. And on the other it is easy enough ke fakamatala why Jesus died on the cross to save us from sin. But in all honesty, we have to admitt we cannot (or find it very difficult) to put these two together!

The christian traditions has not been very good at bringing these two together. Ko e me'a eni 'oku hoko - ko 'etau 'oange 'a e ngaahi mana, ngaahi fakamo'ui mahaki, feasting with sinners, calling of disciples; to go in one direction. And the attonement theology - and that's how we get saved - to go in one direction. Bringing these two together? The church historically find this a huge and difficult tasks.

Seni, I like the personal challenge (malanga?), and I don't think I disagree with it. I am finding it more and more comfortable to deal with he talu ho'o take it up to explain and reason on it (over the years). But text like this week just takes me back ki he personal attonement is within a much more richer and bigger gospel.

I see you have just sent a good post. i'll have a read digest, fakalaulauloto (mo e pu'i 'a e hoa), ka e toki hoko atu!

Malo Peni e fakamaama. 

Hei'ilo pee 'e fai ha tui tatau mo tv ki he appropriate e text ki he'etau pehee ke tau tali 'a Sisu ki he'etau mo'ui since the context is about power...fakatonutonu mai tii...ka ko e interpret ta'econtext pee eni tii!!! Hangee ko e taimi koee fehu'i 'a Sisu kia Pailato ko e me'a eni mei a koe pee ko ho'o fanogo talanoa pee...it seems He is inviting pilate to converse with Him, to find out the truth about Him from Jesus Himself....2)pehee atu a Pailato "I don't know...i'm not a Jew...etc. you tell me what you did....why you are here?"

'Oku ou tui mei he text ne 'iai e tokanga moe 'ofa 'a Sisu kia Pailato as an individual ...Jesus seems to entice Pilate to pursue true truth and just justice through submission to Him...ko e mahalo pee mei he text....Jesus cared about the system as much as the individual he conversed with.  it does not contradict the overarching theme ko 'ena tv 'oku ke fakama'ala'ala maii( i think).

Kapau ko e hoko mai e "His Kingdom" to merge with this world "kingdom" ke fai e fakafo'ou (bring beauty from the ugliness of sin), to establish a relationship, to bring justice, it has to deal with sin...therefore the text seems to deal both with Pilate as an individual and the system in which he operates.  Pea 'e fakatou'aonga pee text ki he individual, church, and politics.

Ne mei feefee nai kapau na'e nofo a Pailato o fakafanongo ki ha tali a Sisu pee feinga ke submit to truth since he (Pilate) was supposed to exercise justice?

Kaikehe malo tv., e fakatalanoa mai ke fao'i e fakakaukauu ki he momona e text e uike ni.
 
-----------------

Seni, I think we are starting to come together, although it is a very very messy track ke fai hano fakatokatoka fakalelei. Manatu, ko 'eku feinga pe eni ia 'a'aku ke talatalanoa he a'usia ne ne transform my theological journey - from concentrating on the personal to where the personal actual exist within.

Seni, sai he 'oku ke manako he lau tohi. Walter Wink ha s alot of works regarding power; Engaging Powers, Unmasking The Powers, The Powers That Be - he writes from years of working as a missionary and in particular in reconciliation at places where civil wars tear communities apart. And the most profound thing he discover - "invisible principality & power"; behind every powerful government, powerful organizations, huge human institutions and orgainisations there are invisible and shadowy power structures that are generated and sustained within the world we live in.

Unless we understand and deal with this reality, and realises this invisible power and perhaps do business with it, we cannot change the way the world is. Na'e ha'u 'a Sisu ki mamani ke ha? Jesus came to change the way the world is. Ko e big picture eni 'oe polave 'a Pailate & Sisu! The clash between the two kingdom. And Jesus came to establish this kingdom here on earth! He didn't come to tell us to just hang on till the next life and we go into the kingdom! I think he (Jesus) actually want to see us part of this movement (a personal conviction - a personal committment to be part of this course!)

'A ia ko ho'omo (Seni & Fakapulia) 'oku hangee kiate au ko e me'a ia 'oku mo 'uhinga ki ai? Jesus is establishing a kind of way to live as a group of people. But first, we must understand what its looks like to do "power". We probably have to go back to Mark 10 - " the gentiles lord it over their properties .... but not so with you! whoever wants to be first must be last ... etc ...". Kaikehe, foki mai kia Sisu & Pailate.

I think Jesus was quiet he na'e 'ikai pee ha toe 'utu 'e hakea! Whatever he says, Pilate would not understand it. Pilate as a person is vulnerable because the only truth, the only justice, the only peace he knows 'a ee mei Loma. My point is: How is he going to be saved when he (Pilate) exists in this system (power structure?). The only truth, justice, peace ... etc; his worldview is shaped by the empire, the Roman power structure?

Again, we need to read on the whole Bible for all its worth. Because if we stop at St John, we could possibily miss the richer gospel (ka ko au pe foki ia).

I feel the church need to be challenged about how to do "power". Like Prof Walter Wink; unless we deal with the power behind institutions, we cannot change the way the world is.

Seni & Fakapulia,

Should I say AMEN!!!! - AGREE with you two.

I am always inspired by Billy Graham. Though he has a doctorate in
Theology but he ALWAYS preached SIMPLE messages pea ko hono ola - he
led thousands and thousands of people to the Lord he ki'i fo'i malanga
pe taha.

You're right Seni - mahu'inga ke 'omi e kong steak kae 'oua ko e haka
siaine kili. I read somewhere ko 'ete ki'i vete he malanga ke 'oua
na'a laka he miniti 'e 5 - maximum. Pea 'oua foki na'a ngalo e founga
fa'a fai 'e Sisu - using parables..I'm always interested he talateu
mai ha'a taha ha'ane malanga 'aki ha ki'i fo'i talanoa fa'a ui he'e
kau palanga ko e ice breaker. Te te ma'u ai e attention e kau fanongo
- ko 'ene ma'u ko ia 'enau tokanga, pea tuku'i atu leva ho'o fo'i vete
(development) - lolotonga pe kamata kenau bored ho'o vete kuo ke
tuku'i mai fo'i kakano ho'o malanga (body). Lolotonga pe 'enau
malie'ia he feast he fu'u konga steak kuo ke teuteu pea tuku'i atu
leva e dessert (conclusion-fakama'opo'opo) - life applicable) pea ko
'ete 'Emeni pe tenau toutou faka'amu ke toe fanongo ki ha'ate
malanga.

PREACHERS - REMEMBER TO SPEAK THE LISTENERS' LANGUAGE....anga pe ki'i

Kataki, ko e 'atunga e faka'ehi'ehi mei he tohi loloa incase it gets too tedious to read. Pea mahalo 'oku ai 'ene ta'emahino he feinga summarise.

Kapau ko e feinga ke connect e truth, kingdom, and freedom, 'oku lelei nai ke lau e text ko eni as a clash of power systems? Manatu ko e uike faka'osi eni 'o e mo'ui 'a Sisu. And what has been happening? Ko e fetakai ko eni 'a Sisu 'i Selusalema pea mo e kau Taki Lotu, pea nau tafoki hake eni 'o mio'i atu mo Pailate (ko e fakafofonga 'o e mafai pule Loma), ke fakafepaki'i 'aki 'a Sisu! Fakafepaki'i 'a hai? Jesus. And what was Jesus trying to do? Jesus was trying to get people to follow his party (kingdom).

Ko e faingata'a ko e fa'ahinga founga pule 'oku maheni ai e kakai (both the Jews & Pilate). They wanted a revolution (like the so many before Barabbas too!). The Jews wanted Jesus to be like one of these leaders! Confuse 'a Pailate ia - this guy (Jesus) has some hold on people, but then the Jews leaders (kau lotu) are arguing for his death!

Seni, I think you raised a very good point earlier about preaching for Tongans: quote -


Lahi e ngaahi malanga ko e fakamahino pee kaveinga e mahinaa mei he text eg.  Ta pehee te ta fakamahino ko Sisu ko e Tu'i mei he text pea lava ke ta ngata ai pee.  Kapau te ta fakatokanga'i, 'oku 'ikai ko ha palopalema ia ki he kakai Tongaa ke nau tui ko e Sisu ko e Tu'i.  Ko e fo'i mo'oni ko iaa kuo tuki mo nonofo ia ki he loto e Tongaa talu hotau fa'ele'i...Ko e fehu'i 'oku ou tui te ta feinga ke tekolo'i mei he text e Sapatee Why don't we submit?? Mahino 'oku ai lack of motivation pee ko e ma'uhala fekau'aki mo e Tu'i etc. 

Ko e momeniti pee 'eta fakahaa e kaveinga "KO SISU KO E TU"I" kuo pehee mai e kakai "So what?? We already know it...we believe it..."  Pea te nau pehee mai what will I get of this?? Mahino 'oku ai lack of motivation mo kitaua 'i he'etau 'ilo pee ko e Tu'i, ka e 'ikai ke tau fietukulolo pe fiemuimui....'ikai ke excited e kakaii ki he 'Otuaa pea hoko lotuu ko e fatongia pee mo e paasipooti pee ki he mo'ui kaha'uu...


But I want to perhaps expand on this (if you allow me). Jesus to be king and indwells in our heart has to mean something to the hearers, (you say). This is how I want to make the text means to me;

If we like Jesus to be king (it has to be like G5), of our political party (although that's probably too loaded a phrase). Teu pehee 'e au ko e challenge leva mei ha malanga - How do we live out the way of the party Jesus leads? The church is called to be the party to live out this whole new system that Pilate would never understand, that the Jews religious leaders don't want to accept, John & James (mei he kosipeli 'o e ngaahi uike kuo 'osi) didn't get it.

Unless we take the text this way, I fear the church is in danger of not getting it right. Vakai ki he hisitolia - (Crusaders, Inquisition comes to mind). And how many times the church gets it wrong in our days? I did mention Demond Tutu (and his work against apartheid in Sth Africa. Ghandi understood this in his nonviolent resistance to the colonial British power.

For Jesus and his party (church) to change the world we as the party have to live the kingdom rules/values/ways! What are they? As church members, we help each other, we serve each other, when we are mocked we get on our knees and pray ... etc. Why? Because Jesus did it himself. Because Jesus live this truth. Because he because a ransom in pace of many!

This is the revolutionary ways of the new kingdom that Pilate would never understand. Why would Pilate never understand? Because the only truth, the only way to rule, the only juistice, is that by a sword and a cross. That the Jews don't understand and may be do not want to accept, and John & James didn't get. My kingdom is not from this world (ie, it's not like the kind of power structure you are use to), but it is for this world!

To establish God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, we learn from Desmond Tutu, we learn form Ghandi. How is the Tongan church dealing wiht power? Do we become last, or do we allow the culture to dictate how we do church? do we serve each other or do like having power! Pilate to Jesus - do you know I have the power to release you? Jesus to Pilate - not over me, unless it was given you from above!

Mo'oni ho'o lau ki he tali 'a Pailate - "what is truth?" - Pilate the first post-modernist? Faingata'a ke tali e fehu'i ko eni he 'aho ni he 'oku lahi e ngaahi fakamatala ki he mo'oni! But to challenge the church to hang on to Jesus' truth is our job, he fai hotau fatongia malanga. 'Ikai ko ia?

Because Jesus did it. Why did Jesus do it? He did it to save you and me! So, wouldn't it be our job to encourage, to chalenge, to inspire each other in the church to do it for Jesus? Because he went through being mocked, being spat at, being neglected, and got hung up on a Roman cross. He went through all these because he - Jesus- hung on to the truth, to God's truth.

How does this vocation of living out this truth, this new ways of the new kingdom, of the new government system Jesus is trying to tell Pilate. How does it look like? Jesus said to John and James - the cup that I drink you will drink, and the baptism that I will get you will be baptised too. Yes, those are our vocation!

At the start of his gospel John talked about God's glory. Off-course, the miracles, the healing, the profound teaching Jesus did shows God's glory. But the climax of John's writing was - You lift me up, and I'll draw the whole world to me! What does this means? Jesus hanging (lifted up) on a cross is our vocation too! That is the glory the church (you & I personally)  is challenged to take up! Jesus' invitation to Pilate would sounds like - would you come along with me? But off-course Pilate would never have got it! But you & I should get it.

Our glory is not through he polepole he ikuna'i ha ngaahi fu'u ngaue  ma'ongo'onga kuo lava. The church is decorated with glory throughout history when it takes time to pray (Jesus did), when it does not use violent (Jesus didn't), when it serve desprate communities (Jesus went out his way to do this). That is the glory you and I are challenged to take up! Ohh ... those are a very different kind of glory form what the world normal sees as glory.

'Oku ou tui ko e 'uhinga 'a Wink ke tau mahino'i 'a e anga e me'a koe mafai. Pea mei he'ene taukei (experience) 'oku pule'i mo angina e ngaahi organisations (govt, institutions, schools ..etc) 'e he mafai 'oku 'ikai sino (invisible power).

I have alot to consider in order to arrive at a decision.

You end up having pressure from recruitment, from marketing, from admin,  ... etc. And all thesee amount to what Wink describe as invisible powers that is generated and sustained within the world we live. Vakai kihe politiki 'a Tonga. Neongo ne fefeka e kau tama ko ena (Sevele, Fuko ... etc) he teke Temo, ko 'ene 'oange pee mafai kihe kautama ni, 'oku kehe leva e fakamatala ia.

Ne ne pehee ai; unless we deal with this invisible power, unless we do business with this shadowy power, we cannot change the way the world is. Jesus' way is the best option that has been suggested. And that's the point Jesus made to Pilate; if my ways of governing (kingdom) is like any in the world, my supporters would come fight for me. but, my ways is what I explained to John & James when they asked about taking either side of me.

 
Fekau'aki moeku pehee hangee ne feinga atu 'a Sisu kia Pailato at personal level eg. accept me as your point of reference for truth and justice ...mea'anii 'e 'ikai justify 'eku taukave ko iaa hangee ko e tuu a Paula he ha'oha'onga 'o Felix...It seems Paul was persuading Felix to have faith in Christ regardless of the existing system??  Neongo e tatau pee 'a Pailato mo Felix hono ta'etali e fakaafe 'a Sisu mo Paula pea e fehu'i leva is it because of the system or its their personal stubborn choice to resist the invitation to life...

For me, I think the only truth Pilate knew was that handed down by the system. If I was Pilate, would I be brave enough to suddenly give up the set of truths I was born into, I grew up in, the set of values that are now the core of my life? That's pretty risky to give those up, especially when the Jews - religious leaders (Jesus' own family/tribe/own people) urge Pilate that this man (Jesus) is a fraud, a criminal and deserve the extreme of punishment!

Would I (as a Tongan) want to suddenly give up what I am most comfortable in (Tongan truths?) and follow a guy who is being accused of many things, more so, being accused by his own people?

Ko e me'a ia 'oku ou fangatua mo ia - If I am born into this system where this system ingrained in me a set of truth/values, how am I suppose to all of sudden surrender it! Seni, ko e me'a ia 'oku ou poupou ai ki ho'o fa'a talk about leadership 'a Tonga (in govt & in church). That level has to be right! But to be right, we need the right individual in there .... etc. Not only that, but we cannot be too liberal with the text.

We cannot allow individuals to say -so this is my take on it, I feel good about it. that's your take on the text and that's whats relevant to you. so as long as we dont' cross or step on each other's toes, you do that, I do this and be happy!

Ko e mo'oni ena e lave ki he invisible powers behind the systems etc.  and I don't want to undermine the significance of that issue.  Pea 'oku mahu'inga ho'o highlight kuo pau ke a'u e kosipelii ki he system  or powers behind the systems pea kapau 'oku tau feinga ke transform e sosaieti 'ehe Kosipelii kuo pau ke fai e tokanga ki he system pee 'e angafefee hano liliu e sisitemii.  However, highlighting the power of the system should not negate the significance of the individual's personal responsibility that he/she can step out of the system.  It's difficult, but it's not impossible.  Koe'uhi at the end of the day everyone of us was bounded by some sort of system....from the power of darkness to the political, religious, or cultural power of the day.

Interpreting the text by saying that Jesus invites Pilate to consider Him as his personal reference for truth and justice still rightly falls(i think) within the context and the spirit of the text.  Jesus cares about transforming the system as much as he cares about giving the individual an opportunity to step out of the system.  Hangee ko 'ene feinga ke a'u atu kia Siutasi neongo kuo no'otekina 'a Siutasi 'ehe system 'o hono kuongaa.  Ko e me'a tatau moe fakamaau'i 'o Paula e Felix, 'a e witness a Paula fekau'aki pea mo Sisu.

'E ai e 'aho e tu'u a Pailato he 'ao 'o e Tu'i 'o e ngaahi tu'i pea 'e tuli tonuhia he'ene pehee, "Sorry Jesus, its the system" Kou tui e pehee atu a Sisu, "Pailato, I invited you to choose me over the system..."  Pehee atu a Pailato, "It was so difficult" pehee atu a Sisu "It's your call!!!"

Should we say that the whole point of the conversation between Jesus and Pilate is all about "power" without any room to justify that Jesus is also reaching out to the individual (Pilate), then I would charge Jesus guilty for being so heartless and unkind to those who are lost and bounded by the system. 

 It puzzles me when we talk about politics and the kind of system we need to establish.  Is it democracy over monarchy?? if democracy, is it the "republicans" or "democrats" kind of democracy?  Right now, hot debates on Obamacare are going on in US.  Both sides appeal to the Bible.  Republicans believe in free market approach, limited govt.,etc.. 'oku nau tui ki he lau 'a Paula "ko ia 'oku 'ikai ngaue ke 'oua te ne kai."  Democrats believe in equal distribution of wealth, government control etc...and you can eat even you don't work.  Republicans oppose abortion, gay marriage etc...Democrats support those issues.

'I he talanoa 'a Augustine ki he city of God and city of man, 'oku ne fakafaikehekehe'i e ongo system, pea ko e siasii 'oku hangee nai ia ko e fakafofonga pe motolo 'o e city of God.  'I he politikii, 'oku te'eki ai ha pule'anga kuo totally overrule 'ehe Kingdom of God e politikale..hoko pee overlap between the two (city of God and city of man.)  Hoko pee ngaahi fakafo'ou fakapolitikale 'i he uesia 'ehe lotu e politikalee ka 'oku te'eki ai ha pule'anga kuo fakafolofola kotoa hono fakalele e pule'angaa...simply because government is made up of believers and unbelievers to take care of both believers and unbelievers. 

Mahalo kuo hee talanoa ia ka e hangehangee e  fokotu'u 'eku kaveinga KO SISU KO E TU'I 'O PAILATO MO MAMANI KATOA!!

But when we read the text (John), the Jewish leaders played the political theology very cleverly! How? We have law and Jesus ought to die for claiming he is the Son of God! Kamata ke ilifia 'a Pailate ...
Pilate ask- Where are you from? Jesus - no answer! Pilate: do you know I have the power to free you? Jesus: you have no power over me, unless it is given you from above!
Fai ha feinga to focus in to what the kingdom Jesus is bringing may look like
