An Ch\u00e9ad L\u00e9acht <\/em>(Irimia 31:31-34). D\u00e9anfaidh m\u00e9 conradh nua leo agus n\u00ed chuimhneoidh m\u00e9 ar a bpeaca\u00ed n\u00edos m\u00f3. <\/em>L\u00e9acht seo an lae inniu is \u00ed f\u00e1istine iomr\u00e1iteach faoin gconradh nua i leabhar Irimia \u00ed. D\u00faradh faoi gurb \u201cceann de na sleachta is doimhne agus is corraitheacha sa Bh\u00edobla ar fad \u00ed\u201d. Mar mh\u00edr theagaisc is buaicphointe \u00ed de mhachnamh thar thr\u00e9imhse fhada taobh istigh de scoil le traidisiun dl\u00ed agus f\u00e1istine, scoil at\u00e1 ceangailte le Leabhar Deotranaim\u00ed agus scr\u00edbhinni at\u00e1 faoi thionchar ghr\u00fapa scol\u00e1ir\u00ed Gi\u00fadacha a thug d\u00fainn an corpas \u00e1irithe seo. An droim l\u00e1imhe a thug pobal Iosrael ar\u00eds agus ar\u00eds eile le teachtaireacht D\u00e9 a th\u00e1inig chucu tr\u00edd na f\u00e1ithe, tharraing s\u00e9 tubaiste orthu. Ach \u00f3n dtubaiste sin d\u2019eascair gealltanas D\u00e9 faoi dh\u00f3chas agus r\u00e9 gheal le teacht. An dl\u00ed a tugadh tr\u00ed Mhaois ba rud seachtrach \u00e9; n\u00edor thug s\u00e9 an chumhacht maireacht\u00e1il de r\u00e9ir na treoracha a bh\u00ed ann. I l\u00e9acht an lae inniu t\u00e1 cur s\u00edos inti ar chonradh nua, ach an babhta seo dli D\u00e9 scr\u00edofa istigh i gcro\u00edthe phobal D\u00e9 a bheidh ann. R\u00e9 nua at\u00e1 in aigne D\u00e9, le athnuachaint maidir le eolas ar Dhia agus aithne air; beidh an t-eolas c\u00e9anna air ag gach cuid den phobal, a fhios air \u00f3n t\u00e9 is l\u00fa go dt\u00ed an t\u00e9 is m\u00f3. R\u00e9 \u00ed ina mbeidh maithi\u00fanas ar a pheaca\u00ed faighte ag Iosrael, agus iad ar fad dearmadta ag Dia. N\u00ed d\u00f3cha go bhfuil aon cheist ann an conradh d\u00e9anta cheana ag Dia le Maois a bheith curtha ar ceal. Is pobal D\u00e9 f\u00f3s \u00e9 Iosrael, le dl\u00ed D\u00e9, dl\u00ed nach bhfuil curtha i l\u00e1thair a bheith \u00e9ags\u00fail \u00f3n dli tugtha tr\u00ed Mhaois a bh\u00ed ar eolas ag an pobal cheana. Is fi\u00fa a mheabhr\u00fa gur cos\u00fail an fh\u00e1istine agus an fh\u00eds seo agus f\u00e1istin\u00ed agus f\u00edseanna eile f\u00e1idhi\u00fala faoi r\u00e9 le teacht; n\u00ed rud \u00e9 a thagann de phreab, uaidh f\u00e9in, le cumhacht D\u00e9 amh\u00e1in. N\u00edor fiora\u00edodh \u00e9 in Iosrael thar o\u00edche. Ba rud \u00e9 an cro\u00ed nua, an bheatha nua inmhe\u00e1nach seo, n\u00e1rbh fhol\u00e1ir urna\u00ed a chur suas chun D\u00e9 ar a shon, mar is l\u00e9ir \u00f3n Salm le Freagra \u00e1lainn a l\u00e9itear inniu (Salm 50[51[): \u201cCruthaigh ionam cro\u00ed glan, a Dhia, agus athnuaigh ionam spiorad daingean\u201d. Thug manaigh Ghi\u00fadacha Qumran \u201can Conradh Nua\u201d orthu f\u00e9in, ach n\u00ed raibh sa chonradh seo agus ina sli bheatha ach conradh Mhaois le claonadh l\u00e1idir ar chomhl\u00edonadh an Dl\u00ed. Ag cur na hEocairiste ar bun d\u00f3 agus ag beann\u00fa na cail\u00edse, d\u00fairt \u00cdosa: \u201cIs \u00e9 an cupa seo an tiomna (n\u00f3: an conradh) nua i m\u2019fhuil\u201d (L\u00facas 22:20; 1 Corantaigh 11:25). Sa Litir chuig na hEabhraigh (8:8-12), an insint \u00f3n tSeantiomna is faide na Tiomna Nua, tugtar t\u00e9acs ioml\u00e1n fh\u00e1istine seo Irimia (sa leagan Gr\u00e9igise de), ina leagtar b\u00e9im gur comhl\u00edonadh \u00e9 i mb\u00e1s agus ais\u00e9ir\u00ed \u00cdosa. Mar a deir Naomh P\u00f3l, scr\u00edobhtar an conradh nua seo i gcro\u00edthe na bhf\u00edr\u00e9an agus d\u00e9antar beo \u00e9 tr\u00ed chumacht an Spioraid Naoimh a dh\u00e9anann athr\u00fa chun leasa orainn. N\u00ed fol\u00e1ir do na f\u00edr\u00e9in, d\u00fainn uile, a bheith ag gu\u00ed de sh\u00edor: \u201cCruthaigh ionam croi nua, croi ghlan, a Dhia\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salm le Freagra<\/em> (Salm 50[51]).

D\u2019fhoghlaim s\u00e9 umhla\u00edocht agus rinneadh de \u00fadar an tsl\u00e1naithe sh\u00edora\u00ed.<\/em> An t\u00e9acs \u00e1lainn seo cuireann s\u00e9 os \u00e1r gcomhair ceann de na r\u00fandiamhra faoinar fhulaing Cr\u00edost agus faoina umhla\u00edocht ioml\u00e1n do thoil an Athar agus don bheart a bh\u00ed aige leis an domhan a shl\u00e1n\u00fa. T\u00e1 na smaointe c\u00e9anna le f\u00e1il in \u00e1iteanna eile sa Tiomna Nua, mar shampla faoi urna\u00ed \u00cdosa i Geits\u00e9amain\u00ed agus sa sliocht as Soisc\u00e9al Naomh Eoin a l\u00e9itear inniu san Aifreann. Mar a chuireann Marcas (14:35-36) \u00e9 maidir le Geits\u00e9amain\u00ed: \u201cChuaigh \u00cdosa ar aghaidh tamall agus chaith s\u00e9 \u00e9 f\u00e9in ar an talamh, agus ghuigh s\u00e9 go ngabhfadh an uair thairis, d\u00e1 mba fh\u00e9idir \u00e9, agus d\u00fairt s\u00e9: \u2018Abba, a Athair, t\u00e1 gach n\u00ed ar do chumas. T\u00f3g an cupa seo uaim. Ach n\u00e1 b\u00edodh mar is toil liomsa ach mar is toil leatsa\u2019\u201d (f\u00e9ach freisin Matha 26:39; L\u00fac\u00e1s 22:42). N\u00f3 i soisc\u00e9al Eoin, sa t\u00e9acs a l\u00e9itear inniu: \u201cT\u00e1 buaireamh ar m\u2019anam anois. Cad a d\u00e9arfaidh m\u00e9? \u2018A Athair, saor m\u00e9 \u00f3n uair seo?\u2019 Ach is chuige sin a th\u00e1inig m\u00e9 chun na huaire seo. A Athair, tabhair gl\u00f3ir do d\u2019ainm\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An Soisc\u00e9al<\/em> (Eoin 12:20-33). An gr\u00e1inne arbhair a thit sa talamh, m\u00e1 fhaigheann s\u00e9 b\u00e1s, tugann s\u00e9 toradh m\u00f3r uaidh.<\/em> Leis an l\u00e9acht seo a thuiscint n\u00edos fearr, is cabhair \u00e9 \u00ed a shuiomh ina chomhth\u00e9acs sa phlean at\u00e1 i Soisc\u00e9al Eoin. T\u00e1 dh\u00e1 mh\u00f3r-roinn sa Soisc\u00e9al seo. Tugtar \u201cLeabhar na gComhartha\u00ed\u201d (caibidil 1-12) ar ar gc\u00e9ad roinn, agus \u201cLeabhar na Gl\u00f3ire\u201d ar an dara ceann (caibidil 13-20). Ionann \u201ccomhartha\u201d sa chomhth\u00e9acs seo agus mior\u00failt, ach mioruilt gur comhartha \u00e9 do fhirinne n\u00edos airde.

Thosaigh \u201cLeabhar na gComhartha\u00ed\u201d i sl\u00ed le ch\u00e9ad chomhartha \u00cdosa ag Cana na Gail\u00edle. Cuirtear cr\u00edoch leis an Leabhar seo le l\u00e9acht an lae inniu. Is \u00e9 is su\u00edomh d\u00f3 n\u00e1 Iar\u00fasail\u00e9im, ag tr\u00e1th na C\u00e1sca nuair a bh\u00ed neamh-Gi\u00fadaigh \u00e1irithe (\u201cGr\u00e9igigh\u201d) sa cathair i gcomhair na f\u00e9ile, daoine a bh\u00ed f\u00e1bharach do chreideamh na nGi\u00fadach. Le linn a shaol bh\u00ed misean \u00cdosa teoranta do phobal Iosrael. Ba mhian leis na Gr\u00e9igih seo \u00cdosa a fheice\u00e1il agus t\u00e9ann siad go beirt aspal (Pilib agus Aindrias) a bhfuil ainmneacha Gr\u00e9igeacha acu, a thug a n-achain\u00ed go h\u00cdosa. Thug \u00cdosa freagra orthu, ach ag an gc\u00e9ad amharc n\u00edl m\u00f3r\u00e1n baint ag a d\u00fairt s\u00e9 leis an achain\u00ed, mura bhfuil sin ag deireadh an t\u00e9acs: \u201cM\u00e1 arda\u00edtear mise (\u00cdosa) \u00f3n talamh (sa chrois, san aiseir\u00ed, sa ghl\u00f3ir), tarraingeoidh me gach duine chugam f\u00e9in\u201d — Gr\u00e9igigh ina measc. Baineann freagra \u00cdosa go hioml\u00e1n lena \u201cuair\u201d a fheiceann s\u00e9 a bheith tagaithe. Ionann \u201cuair\u201d \u00cdosa agus an tr\u00e1th ina dh\u00e9anfar \u00e9 a ghl\u00f3iri\u00fa, tr\u00edna bheith ardaithe \u00f3n talamh ar an gcrois. I sl\u00ed, cos\u00fail leis an grainne arbhair, faigheann s\u00e9 b\u00e1s ach \u00e9ireoidh s\u00e9 ar\u00eds le toradh m\u00f3r a thabhairt uaidh. Ionann a bh\u00e1s agus bua ar na f\u00f3rsa\u00ed go leir a bh\u00edonn agus a bheidh ag feidhmi\u00fa \u00ed gcoinne a shaothair leis sn domhan a shl\u00e1n\u00fa (\u201can domhan\u201d, an diabhal, \u201cprionsa an tsaoil seo\u201d). Le bua seo na croise (\u201cM\u00e1 arda\u00edtear mise \u00f3n talamh\u201d) tarraingeoidh s\u00e9 gach duine chuige f\u00e9in, Le chreideamh is f\u00e9idir le creidmhigh \u00e9 a fheiscint mar shl\u00e1naitheoir faoi ghl\u00f3ir (\u201cardaithe\u201d) ag deasl\u00e1mh an Athar. Is bonn muin\u00edne d\u00e1 lucht lean\u00fana \u00e9. Is leo sin, chomh maith, an bua a bh\u00ed ag \u00cdosa. Mar a bh\u00ed i gc\u00e1s \u00cdosa, le toradh a thabhairt d\u00f3ibh f\u00e9in agus do dhaoine eile, n\u00ed m\u00f3r d\u00f3ibh b\u00e1s a fh\u00e1il d\u00f3ibh f\u00e9in maidir le gach rud nach oireann do theachtaireacht \u00cdosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B Machnamh agus an B\u00edobla in agallamh le ceisteana an lae. <\/em><\/strong>Conradh nua agus cro\u00ed nua<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Machnamh.<\/em> N\u00ed g\u00e1 gurbh ionann agallamh le ceisteanna an lae agus agallamh maidir le c\u00farsa\u00ed soisialta, cult\u00fartha agus poilit\u00edochta nach mbaineann le saol na hEaglaise.

Is maoir ar an gconradh nua Pol agus an eaglais, nach conradh litreach \u00e9 ach conradh sa Spiorad (2 Corantaigh 3:3,6). N\u00ed fol\u00e1ir freagra umhail a bheith ann don conradh seo le urna\u00ed bhuan do Dhia cro\u00ed glan a chruthu ionainn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teachtaireacht eile do chreidmhigh san agallamh seo le l\u00e9achta\u00ed an lae inniu n\u00e1 gur ionann b\u00e1s Chriost ar an gcrois agus an bua a bh\u00ed aige, a bhua in \u00e9adan gach f\u00f3rsa a sheasann ina choinne ina shaothar sl\u00e1naithe \u2013 an \u201csaol\u201d seo, cumhacht an diabhail agus aon chumhacht eile.
