AUHAU KAHI I KEIA MUNE
I ka huakaʻi ʻana o nā mamo a ʻIseraʻela i ka wao nahele i ka ʻĀina i hoʻohiki ʻia, ua hala nā makahiki he 40. I kekahi mau wahi ua hoʻolōʻihi lākou i kahi manawa lōʻihi a loaʻa pinepine i nā pilikia ma muli o kā lākou ʻano. I kekahi manawa, ʻauana lākou e kūʻē i ke Akua a me kāna kāula. Ma Deut. 2, noho iho la lakou a puni ka mauna Seira i na la he nui; ʻoluʻolu i laila, akā ʻaʻole kēlā ka ʻāina i hoʻohiki ʻia. He mea e like me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua ʻae ʻoe iā Iesū Kristo ma ke ʻano he Hoola a he Haku a ola i kou ola e like me kou makemake. Mamuli o ka moolelo o kanaka ma kahi o ka olelo a ke Akua. Ua haʻi ke Akua i nā mamo a ʻIseraʻela ma Deut. 2: 3, "Ua lōʻihi ko ʻoukou hoʻopuni ʻana i kēia mauna, huli i ka ʻākau." ʻO kēia kahi mea āu e noʻonoʻo ai, no ka mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻa iā ʻoe iho i ka wā i hala. Pono paha ʻoe e huli i ka inu ʻana i ka waiū a ʻai i ka ʻiʻo ikaika. Noho kekahi i mau pēpē Karistiano, ʻaʻole ulu aʻe ma muli o nā kuʻuna o nā kāne.
I nā lā o Ioane Bapetite, ua haʻi ʻo ia i ka bapetizo no ka mihi no ke kala ʻana i ka hala, (Luka 3: 3). He haumāna kāna i ukali a hoʻolohe iā ia. Ua pāpā aku ʻo ia i ka poʻe a me ko lākou mau alakaʻi haipule. Ua haʻi ʻo ia iā lākou e hoʻololi i ko lākou ala a ke hoʻomākaukau wale nei ʻo ia i ke ala no kekahi mea ʻoi aku iā ia iho. I kekahi la e maalo ana o Iesu, a ike mai la o Ioane Bapetite ia ia, i mai la ia, Aia hoi ke Keikihipa a ke Akua. A ʻelua mau haumāna a Ioane i lohe iā ia e ʻōlelo ana, haʻalele koke iā Ioane a ukali iā Iesū (John 1:37). Huli ae la o Iesu a ike aku la ia lakou, a ninau aku la ia ia i kona wahi i noho ai. Ua kono ʻoluʻolu ʻo ia iā lākou e hele mai e kipa pū me ia a noho pū lākou me ia ia lā. ʻO wai ka mea i ʻike i kāna mea i haʻi aku ai iā lākou. ʻAʻole like ʻoe ma hope o kou noho pū ʻana me Iesū, koe wale ʻoe no ka make. Wahi a ka Baibala ʻo kekahi o nā kāne ʻelua i haʻalele iā Ioane Bapetite a hahai iā Iesū ʻo Anederea. I ka wā i haʻalele ai ʻo Andrew iā Ioane Bapetite a ua ukali iā Iesū ʻaʻole ʻo ia i huli aʻe iā Ioane. ʻAʻole ʻo Ioane he kāula wale nō, ua haʻi aku i nā huaʻōlelo maikaʻi a maikaʻi hoʻi ka hōʻike ʻana. Ua bapetizo ʻo ia iā Iesū. Akā ua hōʻike ʻo ia e pili ana iā Iesū Kristo. ʻ maila ia, E māhuahua ʻo Iesū a e emi iho au. ʻO kēia ʻōlelo a John, ka mea i hoʻokūpaʻa i ka manaʻoʻiʻo ma Andrew, "ʻO ke Keikihipa kēia a ke Akua." Ua ukali ʻo ʻAnaru i ke Keikihipa a ke Akua, ʻaʻole hoʻi i hoʻi mai i ka hōʻike kahiko a Ioane; no ka mea, ua hoʻokō ʻia ia. E emi ana ʻo John. ʻAʻole maopopo ka hapa nui iā lākou i ko lākou ola ʻuhane i kēia lā a hele lākou i ka stale.
I kēia lā, nui nā poʻe, me nā poʻe he nui i kūkala e ʻae iā Iesū Kristo, ua laka ʻia i ka hoʻōla piha ʻole a i nā kuʻuna a me nā aʻo a nā kāne. Manaʻo ka nui o nā hoʻomana i ke ola akā manaʻo lākou ʻaʻole ʻo ka hoʻōla kahi ʻāpana o ka hoʻohiki, a ua hala. Hāpai lākou i ke ola akā haʻalele i ka hoʻōla no ke kino. Ua uku ʻo Iesū no ko mākou maʻi a me nā maʻi i kāna mau ʻeha (ʻIsaia 53: 5 a me 1st Peter 2:24) a uku no kā mākou lawehala me kona koko. Inā ʻoe i loko o ia ʻano hoʻomana, e hana e like me Andrew i hana ai, e hāhai i ka hōʻike ma kahi e haʻi aku ai i ke ola a mai nānā i hope. Ma nā Hana 19: 1-7, e heluhelu ana ʻoe e pili ana i ka poʻe i paʻa i ka bapetizo a hiki i ka mihi a Ioane; a nānā ʻole paha i nā aʻo a Kristo a i aʻo ʻole ʻia e pili ana i ka bapetizo pololei ʻana, aia wale nō iā Iesū Kristo. ʻO ka bapetizo ʻana a Ioane he wai wale nō ia, akā ʻo ka bapetizo ʻana iā Iesū Kristo me ka ʻUhane Hemolele a me ke ahi. I ka wā a Paul i haʻi aku ai iā lākou ua bapetizo hou ʻia lākou. Ua haʻahaʻa lākou e ʻae i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka hōʻike hou i loko o Iesū Kristo. Nui ka poʻe i kēia lā i hopu ʻia me kā lākou hoʻomana a ʻaʻole ʻae lākou i kekahi aʻo ʻē aʻe.
Ua haʻi mai kahi kaikunāne makamae iaʻu i nā makahiki he kanahiku i ka manawa i hoʻolauna ʻia ai ka bapetizo ʻana o ka ʻUhane Hemolele i nā Kristiano ʻōpio he nui; e ola ʻo ia a make i kahi Metode Wesleyan. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i neʻe me ka kamaʻilio ʻana o ka bapetizo ʻana o ka ʻUhane Hemolele. He nui nā Karistiano ke aʻo pololei ʻia e pili ana i ka bapetizo ʻana i hele a bapetizo hou ʻia. Ma Mat 28, ua haʻi aku ʻo Iesū i kāna haumāna e hele i ka honua e haʻi aku i ka ʻeuanelio a me ka bapetizo ʻana i nā kānaka i ka inoa o ka Makua, a me ke Keiki, a me ka ʻUhane Hemolele. ʻO nā lunaʻōlelo āpau i bapetizo ʻia i ka inoa o Iesū Kristo (ʻ 2lelo 38:8), (Hana 16: 10), (Hana 48: 19) a me (Nā Hana 5: 5). Ua hoʻolauna ka hale pule Katolika Roma i ka huikau o ka bapetizo ʻana i nā akua ʻekolu a i ʻole ke aʻoaʻo trinity; a ua kope ka poʻe Protestant a pau a me kekahi mau Penetekota. ʻO ka poʻe ma hope o Ioane Bapetite ma ʻEpeso, ua bapetizo hou ʻia i ka wā a lākou i hoʻolohe ai iā Paulo. ʻO ka inoa no ka bapetizo ʻana ka inoa, ua hele pū mai ke Keiki a ke kanaka me. ʻO ia ka inoa o ka Makua. I loane 43:XNUMX, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Iesū, "Ua hele mai nei au i ka inoa o koʻu Makua." ʻO IESU KRISTO kēlā inoa. ʻLelo ʻo Iesū, e bapetizo ana iā lākou i ka INOA ʻaʻole i nā INOA. A ʻo kēlā inoa ʻo Iesū Kristo. ʻO nā lunaʻōlelo i hāʻawi ʻia i ke aʻo he alo a he alo, ua lohe a hoʻomaopopo i ke aʻo a bapetizo ʻia i ka inoa o IESU KRISTO i ka hoʻolohe.
Ua launa ʻo Iesū Kristo iā Paulo ma ke ala e hele aku ai i Damaseko, a ua hoʻolohe ʻo ia i ka leo a me ka INOA o ke Akua, "ʻO IESU KRISTO KAHEA KOU KAHUʻIA." ʻAʻole hoʻolohe ʻo Paul i ke Akua, ua bapetizo ʻo ia a bapetizo hou ʻia i kekahi poʻe i ka inoa ʻo Iesū Kristo ma ke ʻano a ka Haku i aʻo aku ai i nā lunaʻōlelo. A laila hele mai nā haku haipule ʻaʻole i laila i ka wā a Iesū i kamaʻilio ai i nā lunaʻōlelo e pili ana i ka bapetizo ʻana, akā haʻi aku lākou iā ʻoe he hewa nā lunaʻōlelo a ʻo ke kaila trinity ka pololei. ʻAʻole hōʻike ʻo Iesū iā ia iho iā lākou e like me ia iā Paulo a manaʻo lākou ua hana hewa ʻo Paul i ka bapetizo ʻana. Inā ʻike ʻoe iā ʻoe iho e bapetizo ana i nā kānaka a i ʻole ʻaʻole ʻoe i bapetizo ʻia i ke ʻano o ka hana a nā lunaʻōlelo; a laila pono e hana hou i ka bapetizo ʻana e like me ka hana ʻana a nā lunaʻōlelo. E hāhai i ka Haku ʻo Iesū Kristo e like me kā Andrew i hana ai a waiho i ka hōʻike kahiko o kāu hoʻomana inā ʻaʻole ia e kūlike me nā lunaʻōlelo. Koe inā he ʻōlelo kāu na ke Akua mai, ua hewa nā lunaʻōlelo. Inā kānalua e hele i ko mākou Makua a nīnau iā ia. He poʻe keiki mākou a pau na ke Akua ʻaʻole nā moʻopuna.
Pili mau ka hapa nui i kēia mau lā i nā hōʻike i lawe mai i ka Metodista, Episcopal, Pentecostal, Baptist, Evangelicals, Roman Katolika hale pule; ʻo ka Union Union: akā poina i kēia hopena o ka manawa pono e hōʻalo ʻia nā ʻino a me nā hele pōkole o nā makahiki pule ʻehiku (Rev. 2 a me 3) akā e ʻimi i nā uku. I kēia manawa ka pahuhopu o nā poʻe a pau e ʻōlelo nei ʻo Iesū Kristo, nā hui a me nā ʻohana e like me Andrew, e hele no ka mau loa a hoʻi ʻole i ka wā i hala, ua hoʻololi ke kāne i ka kuʻuna me nā uhi haipule. ʻO ka hōʻike a me ka pahuhopu no ka Kalikiano ke ola o ka poʻe nalowale, ka hoʻopakele ʻana no ka poʻe i hei ʻia e satanana a me ka hiki koke ʻana mai o ka Haku i ka lewa. E lilo koke ia, i hoʻokahi hola ʻaʻole ʻoe e noʻonoʻo. Hana e like me Anederea haʻalele iā Ioane Bapetite a hāhai ma hope o Iesu Kristo. Ua ʻike ʻo Andrew i ka hola o ke kipa ʻana o Iesū Kristo a ua ukali aku ʻo ia i ke Keikihipa a ke Akua, e haʻalele ana i ka Bapetizo nāna i kuhikuhi aku i ke Keikihipa, ka Savoir. I kēia lā, he nui, me kahi hōʻike a ke Akua e paʻa ai i nā aʻo a kā lākou hoʻomana i pili ʻole i ke kuhikuhi a ke Akua e neʻe nei. Nānā koke ʻo Anederea a alakaʻi i kona kaikaina iā Petero i ka Mesia. Ua haʻi ʻo ia i kona kaikaina ua loaʻa iā mākou ka Mesia. Nīnau ʻoe pehea ʻo Ioane Bapetite? Ua pau kāna ʻōlelo, ua kuhikuhi ʻo ia i ka Haku. ʻO ka poʻe i loaʻa ka hōʻike i loko o ko lākou puʻuwai e like me Andrew, e hoʻoneʻe ʻia me ka hōʻike a Iesu Kristo, a e hoʻolei i kā lākou mau dogmas a me nā kuʻuna kanaka e noho aliʻi ana i nā hale pule he nui i kēia lā. Ua pili pono kēia hōʻike iā Andrew a pono ia iā ʻoe iho; akā e like nā hopena? Mai huli i hope. Hana e like me Andrew, ke pili ka hōʻike iā ʻoe, a loaʻa a ʻae ʻoe i ke Keikihipa a ke Akua. Ua lōʻihi ko ʻoukou hoʻopuni ʻana i kēia mauna hoʻomana, e huli e like me Andrew a e hāhai iā Iesu Kristo i kona wahi huna, a e noho pū me ia i ka lā holoʻokoʻa. E wehe ʻia kou mau maka a ʻaʻole ʻoe e like hou. E hoʻopaʻa i ka ʻōlelo me ka ʻeleu a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka hopena like, ʻo Iesū Kristo ka Haku a me ke Akua, (John 20:28). E ʻike ʻoe i ka inoa.
