D\u2019itheamar agus d\u2019\u00f3lamar ina chuideachta i ndiaidh a ais\u00e9ir\u00ed \u00f3 mhairbh. <\/em>Ina chomhth\u00e9acs i nGn\u00edomthartha na nAspal t\u00e1 an sliocht seo mar chuid den chur s\u00edos ar an \u00e1it a bh\u00ed ag Peadar agus an Eaglais \u00f3g in Iar\u00fasail\u00e9im le creideamh Chriost a thabhhairt do na pag\u00e1naigh gan an timpeallghearradh a bheith riachtanach. Bh\u00ed aisling ag C\u00f3irn\u00e9ilias, taoiseach c\u00e9ad na R\u00f3imhe, pag\u00e1nach cr\u00e1ifeach, \u00e1 r\u00e1 leis glaoch ar Pheadar le eolas an tsl\u00e1naithe a thabhairt d\u00f3. Bh\u00ed an glaoch bheith ina aspal do na pag\u00e1naigh faighte ag P\u00f3l cheana f\u00e9in, ach n\u00ed raibh s\u00e9 i mbun saothair f\u00f3s. Thug Peadar an t-aitheasc sa l\u00e9acht seo agus chreid C\u00f3irn\u00e9ilias agus a theaghlach agus th\u00e1inig an Spiorad Naomh anuas orthu. Bhaist Peadar iad gan timpeallghearradh; thug tuairisc faoi sin don eaglais in Iar\u00fasail\u00e9im, a aontaigh leis. Aitheasc Pheadair do Ch\u00f3irn\u00e9ilias agus a theaghlach at\u00e1 i sliocht seo an lae inniu. Is d\u00f3cha gur sampla \u00e9 de ch\u00e9ad-sheanm\u00f3ireacht na heaglaise ag craobhscaoileadh theachtaireacht an tsoisc\u00e9il di.Thosaigh an cur s\u00edos le baiste Eoin Baiste, ungadh Chr\u00edost ansin leis an Spiorad Naomh, agus na mior\u00failt\u00ed a rinne s\u00e9 d\u00e1 bharr, beatha phoibl\u00ed Chr\u00edost, agus na hAspail mar fhinn\u00e9ithe ar sin; c\u00e9asadh agus b\u00e1s Chr\u00edost agus a ais\u00e9ir\u00ed, agus an fhianaise gur ais\u00e9irigh s\u00e9 d\u00e1ir\u00edre \u00e1 thaispe\u00e1int f\u00e9in d\u00e1 lucht lean\u00fana, agus mar ar ordaigh s\u00e9 d\u00e1 dheisceabail an soisc\u00e9al a craobhscaoileadh.

T\u00e1 Cr\u00edosta\u00edthe aontaithe le Cr\u00edost sa bhaisteadh, agus mar adeir an l\u00e9acht seo aontaithe leis ar neamh. N\u00ed l\u00e9acht ginear\u00e1lta gan t\u00e9agar at\u00e1 anseo. Tamall gearr roimhe seo scr\u00edobh P\u00f3l (Colosaigh 2:6-7): \u201cMar sin de, \u00f3s rud \u00e9 go bhfuil glactha agaibh le h\u00cdosa mar Thiarna, tugaig\u00ed bh\u00far saol i bp\u00e1irt leis.

Agus mar shampla ar sin \u00e1ir\u00edotar ceithre chinn de n\u00f3sanna gn\u00e9asacha, agus moltar liosta de shu\u00e1ilc\u00ed le cleactadh.

Glanaig\u00ed amach an tseanghabh\u00e1il ionas go mbeidh sibh in bhur dtaos nua. <\/em>Sa t\u00e9acs d\u00edreach roimh an cheann seo ch\u00e1in P\u00f3l an comhluadar Cr\u00edosta\u00ed sa Coraint toisc an droch-iompair ann: bh\u00ed fear ag maireacht\u00e1il lena leasmh\u00e1thair mar ch\u00e9ile gan ch\u00e1ineadh \u00f3n chomhluadar Cr\u00edostai.

Sa l\u00e9acht seo cuireann an t-aspal lucht lean\u00fana Chr\u00edost san airdeal faoin bhaol \u00f3n droch-shampla, agus chuige sin baineann s\u00e9 \u00fas\u00e1id as ch\u00falra Ch\u00e1isc na nGi\u00fadach a bh\u00ed \u00e1 ceiliuradh b\u2019fh\u00e9idir an tr\u00e1th bliana sin.

Seanm\u00f3ir gonta C\u00e1sca an giota seo le P\u00f3l Aspal.

N\u00edorbh fhol\u00e1ir \u00e9 a ais\u00e9ir\u00ed \u00f3 mhairbh. <\/em>T\u00e1 cuntais \u00e9ags\u00fala againn sa Tiomna Nua faoi ais\u00e9ir\u00ed Chr\u00edost agus conas a thaispe\u00e1in s\u00e9 f\u00e9\u00edn do lucht lean\u00fana tofa d\u00e1 chuid. De r\u00e9ir Ph\u00f3il (1 Corantaigh 15:3-8) thaispe\u00e1in s\u00e9 \u00e9 f\u00e9in faoi ch\u00faig, i dtosach b\u00e1ire do Pheadar agus sa deireach thiar do Ph\u00f3l f\u00e9in. Sliocht an lae inniu as soisc\u00e9al Eoin n\u00edl ann ach ceann amh\u00e1in de shraith eachtra\u00ed: ar th\u00fas an tuama folamh (Eoin 20:1-10); ansin taispe\u00e1int do Mh\u00e1ire Mhaigdil\u00e9ana (20:11-18); ansin do na deisceabail gan Tom\u00e1s (20:19-23), agus ansin le Tom\u00e1s i l\u00e1thair (24-29). Sliocht an lae inniu is faoin gcuairt go dt\u00ed an tuama \u00e9, tuama a fhaightear folamh. Measann M\u00e1ire Mh\u00e1igdil\u00e9ana gur rob\u00e1il at\u00e1 i gceist. Tugann an \u201cdeisceabal eile\u201d (an deisceabal muirneach; an deisceabal a raibh gr\u00e1 ag \u00cdosa d\u00f3, Eoin 13:23) aird ar st\u00e1das faoi leith Pheadair. Cuireann an staid slachtmhar ina bhfuil na baill \u00e9adaigh slad as an \u00e1ireamh. Faigheann an deisceabal eile tuiscint ar leith faoi ais\u00e9ir\u00ed Chr\u00edost, agus n\u00edos d\u00e9ana\u00ed tiocfaidh an eaglais ar an dtuiscint go raibh sin de r\u00e9ir an scriopt\u00fair, tuiscint nach raibh aici \u00f3 th\u00fas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B.

Sa ch\u00e9ad l\u00e9acht cuireann Peadar b\u00e9im ar na haspail mar fhinn\u00e9ithe d\u2019ais\u00e9ir\u00ed Chr\u00edost agus sa dara l\u00e9acht as an litir chuig na Colosaigh meabhra\u00edtear do chreidmhigh go bhfuil a mbeatha \u201cfolaithe mar aon le Cr\u00edost i nDia\u201d. Cr\u00edost ar neamh ceann na hEaglaise, t\u00e1 s\u00e9 f\u00f3s ag f\u00f3gairt a shoisc\u00e9il mar a rinne s\u00e9 d\u00e1 mhuintir na Gi\u00fadaigh, ach chomh maith ag f\u00f3gairt shoisc\u00e9il Ph\u00f3il do na neamh-Ghi\u00fadaigh, na pag\u00e1naigh, \u00e1 meabhr\u00fa do na Colosaigh, agus do gach creidmheach, n\u00f3sanna pag\u00e1nacha a chur d\u00edobh, n\u00f3sanna a \u00e1ir\u00edonn s\u00e9: \u201cB\u00e1saig\u00ed mar sin an taobh saolta (na hainmhianta pag\u00e1nacha) d\u00edbh f\u00e9in: an dr\u00fais, an neamhglaine, an paisean, an ainmhian agus an tsaint \u00fad nach bhfuil inti ach \u00edoladhradh\u201d.
