Iesu e reirei n tabetai rinanon titiraki ao kakao. Iangoa te katoto man te tai are E kabanea ma Ana reirei iaon aban Amerika. N te taina ngke a tataro, te Tia Kamaiu e kaoti nakoia ao e titiraki te titiraki ae kaukuki n te kakao: “Tera ae kam tangiria bwa Nna angani ngkami?” (3 Nibwaai 27:21). Ana tera am kaeka ngkana e titirakiniko te Tia Kamaiu te titiraki aei?

A kaeka ana reirei: “Te Uea, ti tangiria bwa ko na tuangira te ara are ti na arana iai te ekaretia aio; bwa bon iai te itabaraaraa ibuakoia aomata ni kaineti ma te bwai aio” (3 Nibwaai 27:3).

Kristo e kaekai aia titiraki n teuana are bon mai irouna: “A tuai ni wareki koroboki aika a tabu, are e taku bwa kam na katoka ia aomi aran Kristo, are bon arau?” (3 Nibwaai 10:5). Te titiraki aei e kauringiia naake a reiakina arona bwa a riai ni kona ni kaekai oin aia titiraki ao kaeka nakon titiraki aika mwaiti a kona n reke inanon koroboki aika a tabu.

Lovest Thou Me More Than These? iroun David Lindsley

Ngaira naba ti riai n tainako n reirei ma te tangira ao te tangira ae itiaki ngkana ti kan reirei n ana kawai te Tia Kamaiu. Te tangira e kauka nanon te tia reirei ao aroia naba naake a na reireinaki, ngaia are “ni kauaitera [a kona] n reireiaki ao ni uaia ni kukurei” (D&C 50:22).

Te katoto ae matata n ana tangira te Tia Kamaiu ibukiia Naake e reireiniia a kona n reke n 3 Nibwaai are E tataro ibukiia, tang ma ngaia, ao ni kakabwaia aomata. Ngke E tataro nakon Tamana ibukiia, taian Nibwaite a namakina Ana tangira: “Ao ake ae kona n iangoa te kimwareirei are e kaona tamneira n te tai are ti ongo iai bwa e tataro ibukira nakon te Tama” (3 Nibwaai 7:17).

E tang ma te kukurei ibukiia ao e kakabwaiaia ibukin aia onimaki, ibukina bwa e rangin ni korakora Ana tangira ibukiia:

“Kam na kakabwaiaki ibukin ami onimaki. Ao ngkanne nooria, bwa e a bwanin kimwareireiu.

“Ao ngke e a tia n taekin taeka aikai, e tang” (3 Nibwaai 17:20–21).

Te tangira ae korakora e karekea te reirei ae korakora. E koreaki ni koroboki aika a tabu bwa “moamoana e moangare nakoia, ao a kaukaki nanoia ao a bon ota inanoia” (3 Nibwaai 19:25, 33).

Te Tia Kamaiu e anganiianaba naake E reiakiniia aia tai n tibwaua aia koaua. “Ao Iesu, ngke E nako n aba ake i rarikin Kaitareia i Biribi, ao E titirakiniia ana reirei ni kangai, A taku aomata ba antai Natin te Aomata?

“Ao a taku, Temwangina a taku Ioane are te tia Babetito Ngkoe: ao temangina ba Eria, ao temangina ba Ieremia, ke te burabeti temanna.

“E taku nakoia, Ao ngkami kam taku bwa antai Ngai?

“Ao e kaeka Timoni Betero ni kangai, Bon te Kristo Ngkoe, are Natin te Atua are maiu” (Mataio 16:13–16).

Imwiina ngke e tia ni kaota ana koaua Betero, Kristo e taekin kakabwaia aika rianako nakoina.

“Koa kabaia Timon, ae natin Iona: ba e aki kaota aei nakoim te iriko ma te rara, ma E kaotia Tamau are i karawa

“Ao I taku nako im, ba Betero ae te atibu ngkoe, ao N na katea au ekaretia i aon te b’a aei; ao a bon aki kataea ana kai mataroani neia tamneia maate.

“N na anganiko kingin uean te Atua: ao ane ko kabaea i aonaaba ao e a manga kabaeaki naba i karawa: ao ane e kabwara i aonnaba ao e a manga kabaraki naba i karawa” (Mattaio 16:13, 16–19).

Ni kataia n riki bwa taan reirei, ngaia naba ti na titirakiniira n tainako titiraki ake a na waekoa naake ti reireiniia n tibwa aia koaua, rinanon te bwai ae a taekinna ao te bwai ae a namakinna. Ti na kaoia naake ti reireiniia bwa a na ukoukora oin aia koaua-kateitei iaon namakinana inanon maiuia ni katoa bong. Imwiina, ngkana te tabo n te umwanreirei ke te mweenga e kariaia tabeman bwa ana namakina te Tamnei, naake a reirei a na mwengaraoi n tibwa aia namakin n te maiu n tamnei ao aia koaua imarenaia.

Iesu Kristo e kairiia tabeman ni karaoi bwaai ake E karaoi (tara 3 Nibwaai 27:21)—n iriiria (tara Mataio 4:19). E maiuakina te bwai are E reirei, ai ngaia are E reirei man te katoto.

E reireia taekan te ibuobuoki man ana ibuobuoki. Tera te reirei aei tao bon ti nakoia Ana reirei ngke E teboki waeia! “Ao ngkai I teboki waemi, ngai ae ami Uea ao ami tia Reirei, ao e riai bwa kam na teboteboki naba waemi.

“Bwa I anganingkami te bwai ni kakairi, bwa kam na katotonga ae I karaoia nakoimi” (Ioane 13:13–15).

E reireia taekan te tangira man bwainakin te tangira. “I anganingkami te tua nabangkai, bwa kam na itangitangiri; n ai arou ngke I tangiringkami, bwa kam na itangitangiri naba” (Ioane 13:34).

E reirei aron te tataro man ana tataro. Imwiin karaoakin taian tataro ae rang kaan man rang kakateke a bon aki kona n tauaki mwiia, E taku, “Ao n aron are I a tia n tataro ibuakomi ao kam na manga tataro n au ekaretia. … Nooria Ngai te oota; Ia tia ni katea te banna ni katoto ibukimi” (3 Nibwaai 18:16).

Iesu Krito e a tia ni katauraoa te baeten ibukiia taan reirei ni kabane n te euangkerio ake iai nanoia ni kan reirei n Ana kawai. Ngkai e bon aki kororaoi, ti kona ni kataia ni mwakuri korakora ni maiuakina te bwai are ti angareirei iai. N taekana teuana ni kunaia ataei, taan reirei a riai ni kona ni kangai, “Karaoa ae I karaoia, irirai, irirai!”²

Ni kabane taan reirei n te euangkerio a kaoaki bwa a na karekei onoua boton reirei aikai, ake a kaota aron te Tia Kamaiu n reirei:

Ngkai ti kairii reirei aikai, ti na riki bwa taan reirei aika tamaroa riki, taan reiakinna aika tamaroa riki, kaaro aika tamaroa riki, ao ana reirei Iesu Kristo aika tamaroa riki. Bwa e a tia n tuangiira bwa ti na “reirei imarenara” ma te kakaonimaki, “n te aro are ni kabane a na bane ni kaitiakaki.” (D&C 88:77, 78, 122). A bia naake ti reireiniia noora are mai iroun te Mwatita n Tia Reirei ao n reke te namakin are aki ti anganaki rongorongo, ma e bitiia naba.
