C\u00e9ad l\u00e9acht <\/em>(I\u00f3sua 5:9-12). Tar \u00e9is de phobal D\u00e9 teacht isteach sa talamh a gealladh d\u00f3ibh, ceili\u00farann siad an Ch\u00e1isc.<\/em> Chaith clann Iosrael daichead bliain san fh\u00e1sach, \u00e1it neamhthorth\u00fail mar a raibh an manna mar l\u00f3n acu. Bh\u00edodar ar a sl\u00ed go t\u00edr Can\u00e1n a ghealladh do na hAithreacha, Abrah\u00e1m agus a shliocht mar oidhreacht, go t\u00edr tairngire. Anois tar \u00e9is d\u00f3ibh an Iord\u00e1in a thrasn\u00fa bh\u00ed ceann scr\u00edbe bainte amach acu. Pobal D\u00e9 iad agus bh\u00ed orthu comhartha an chonartha, an timpeallghearradh, a bheith orthu. De r\u00e9ir deallraimh n\u00ed raibh sin amhlaidh san fh\u00e1sach, agus b\u2019fh\u00e9idir san \u00c9igipt. Anois ar theacht i seilbh a n-oidhreachta rinneadh iad a thimpeallghearradh. Bh\u00ed n\u00e1ire, aithis, an chos ar bolg, scl\u00e1bha\u00edocht, agus gach ar sheas an \u00c9igipt d\u00f3ibh, bainte d\u00edobh. An ch\u00e9ad ch\u00e9im eile mar phobal D\u00e9 n\u00e1 an Ch\u00e1isc a cheili\u00faradh, rud a rinneadar de r\u00e9ir ghn\u00e1sanna Dli Mhaoise, le ar\u00e1n tirim agus arbhar triomaithe, t\u00edortha. Bh\u00edodar anois i dt\u00edr ina mbeadh \u201cmil agus uachtar ag gluaiseacht ina slaoda\u201d. D\u2019ith siad de thoradh th\u00edr Can\u00e1n, agus th\u00e1inig deireadh leis an manna, an bia a chothaigh iad san fh\u00e1sach. Bh\u00ed t\u00fas curtha le r\u00e9 nua ina stair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salm le freagra<\/em> (Salm 33[34]). Blaisig\u00ed agus f\u00e9achaig\u00ed a fheabhas at\u00e1 an Tiarna<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dara l\u00e9acht<\/em> (2 Corantaigh 5:17-21).Thug Dia sinn chun athmhuintearais leis f\u00e9in tr\u00ed Chr\u00edost. <\/em>Is f\u00e9idir teachtaireacht na l\u00e9achta seo a mheas n\u00edos fearr nuair a shu\u00edotar i gcaibidil thosaigh na litreach seo chuig na Corantaigh \u00ed. T\u00e1 an tAspal P\u00f3l gafa idir a thuiscint f\u00e9in ar bhr\u00ed ais\u00e9ir\u00ed Chr\u00edost agus an chonartha nua agus c\u00farsai daonna agus saolta na heaglaise i gCoraint. Bh\u00ed teannas \u00e1irithe idir an eaglais, n\u00f3 bu\u00edon san eaglais, i gCoraint agus a n-aspal P\u00f3l. Cuireadh i leith Ph\u00f3il nach raibh s\u00e9 mac\u00e1nta, tr\u00e9dhearcach, leo. Tugann P\u00f3l aird ar a bhfuil le r\u00e1 acu, ach t\u00e1 an litir l\u00e1n de theagasc faoin chonradh nua agus saothar an Spioraid Naoimh sa bheatha Chr\u00edosta\u00ed. De bharr an teannais agus a gcuid amhrais faoi f\u00e9in, iarann P\u00f3l an bhfuil s\u00e9 anois riachtanach go dtabharfadh duine \u00e9igin litir creidi\u00fanais d\u00f3 agus P\u00f3l a chur in aithne d\u00f3ibh. Scr\u00edobhann s\u00e9 an mh\u00edr \u00e1lainn seo (2 Corantaigh 3:1-3): \u201cAn g\u00e1 d\u00fainn, d\u00e1la daoine \u00e1irithe eile, litreacha creidi\u00fanais a thabhairt ch\u00fagaibhse n\u00f3 iad a fh\u00e1il uaibh? Is sibhse \u00e1r litir chreidi\u00fanais agus \u00ed scr\u00edofa ar \u00e1r gcro\u00ed agus \u00ed le haithint agus le l\u00e9amh ag c\u00e1ch uile. Is follas don saol gur litir \u00f3 Chr\u00edost sibh at\u00e1 arna scr\u00edobh againne ach nach le d\u00fach a scr\u00edobhadh \u00ed ach le Spiorad D\u00e9 bheo, agus nach ar th\u00e1ibhl\u00e9id chloiche a greanadh \u00ed ach ar thaibhl\u00e9id an chro\u00ed dhaonna\u201d. Leagann P\u00f3l b\u00e9im ar an fh\u00edrinne Chr\u00edosta\u00ed go bfhuil saol nua, cruth\u00fa nua, ann le ais\u00e9ir\u00ed Chr\u00edost.

Rinne s\u00e9 Cr\u00edost a mheas de r\u00e9ir chaighde\u00e1in shaolta.

S\u00e9anann \u00cdosa gurb amhlaidh a bh\u00ed, ach le gl\u00f3ir D\u00e9 a l\u00e9iri\u00fa tr\u00edd an mhior\u00failt a bh\u00edothas le d\u00e9anamh. Gan coinne, tugann \u00cdosa t\u00e9ama na l\u00e9achta isteach: is \u00e9 sin \u00e9 f\u00e9in mar sholas an tsaoil. Measadh an uair sin gur raibh tr\u00e9ithe leighis sa seile, agus smear \u00cdosa seile agus l\u00e1ib ar sh\u00faile an daill, gan \u00e9 a leigheas, agus d\u00fairt leis an dall dul go dt\u00ed Linn iomr\u00e1iteach in Iar\u00fasail\u00e9im go raibh an t-ainm Sil\u00f3m air, ainm ar bhr\u00ed leis san Airimis agus san Eabhrais \u201cSeolta\u201d, \u201ccurtha amach\u201d, \u00e1it ar leigheasadh an dall. D\u00e9antar an ceangal sin anseo, mar ba \u00e9 \u00cdosa an \u201cSil\u00f3m\u201d ceart, an T\u00e9 a bh\u00ed seolta amach \u00f3n Athair. Tar \u00e9is ar leigheasadh an dall lean ceisteanna faoi chonas a tharla an leigheas, ar dt\u00fas idir na comharsana, ansin i measc na bhFairis\u00edneach toisc gur ar an Sab\u00f3id a rinneadh an leigheas, rud a bh\u00ed in \u00e9adan Dl\u00ed Mhaois dar leo. Bh\u00ed an dall a leigheasadh ag tabhairt fianaise i dtaobh \u00cdosa, gur cara le Dia agus f\u00e1idh a bh\u00ed ann. Ansin glaonn na \u201cGi\u00fadaigh\u201d, na h\u00fadar\u00e1is Ghi\u00fadacha, ar thuismitheoir\u00ed an daill a leigheasadh le fios f\u00e1tha an leighis a fh\u00e1il, \u00e1it a bhfuil tagairt do chinneadh na nGi\u00fadach d\u00e9anta cheana f\u00e9in faoi aoinne a admh\u00f3dh gurb \u00e9 \u00cdosa an Cr\u00edost a dh\u00edbirt as an tsionag\u00f3g. Tagairt at\u00e1 anseo, is d\u00f3cha, do dh\u00edbirt Chr\u00edostaithe as an tsionag\u00f3g a tharla n\u00edos d\u00e9ana\u00ed sa stair, tar \u00e9is threascairt Iar\u00fasail\u00e9im. Glaodar ar an duine a rugadh dall \u00e9 f\u00e9in, a thug fianaise do \u00cdosa mar chara D\u00e9, agus chaitheadar amach \u00e9. Chuala \u00cdosa sin agus bhuail s\u00e9 leis agus chuir ceist air ar chreid s\u00e9 i Mac an Duine agus chuir s\u00e9 \u00e9 f\u00e9in in aithne mar Mhac an Duine. Chreid an t\u00e9 a rugadh dall in \u00cdosa agus rinne om\u00f3s d\u00f3. T\u00e1 cr\u00edoch ag an l\u00e9acht mar ar thosaigh s\u00e9, \u00e1 r\u00e1 gur th\u00e1inig \u00cdosa le breithi\u00fanas a thabhairt ar an saol seo, i dtreo go bhfeicfeadh an dream nach bhfeiceann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n T\u00e1 tr\u00ed phointe soil\u00e9ir ag eascairt as liot\u00fairge agus l\u00e9achta\u00ed an lae inniu a thugann \u00e1bhar saibhir machnaimh agus agallaimh d\u00fainn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An ch\u00e9ad cheann d\u00edobh n\u00e1 gurb \u00e9 solas an tsaoil \u00e9 \u00cdosa. Is chuige sin a seoladh isteach sa saol \u00e9 \u00f3n Athair. Eisean an T\u00e9 a seoladh. \u201can Seolta\u201d, Sil\u00f3m<\/em>, a leigheasann an dall. Th\u00e1inig s\u00e9 le go mbeadh radharc ghl\u00f3ir an Athar ag an domhan. T\u00e1 sin sol\u00e9ir \u00f3 shoisc\u00e9al an lae inniu, agus \u00f3na l\u00e1n \u00e1iteanna eile sa Tiomna Nua. Is cuid l\u00e1rnach de theachtaireacht an Tiomna Nua \u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An dara pointe n\u00e1 nach do bheatha \u00cdosa ar talamh amh\u00e1in an m\u00e9id sin. Roghnaigh s\u00e9 aspail and deisceabail le go mbeadh an dea-sc\u00e9al sin \u00e1 fh\u00f3gairt go cr\u00edocha deiridh an domhain go deireadh an tsaoil. Solas an domhain agus salann na tal\u00fan iad lucht lean\u00fana \u00cdosa. Sin mar a thuig, agus mar a chraobhscaoil, an Eaglais \u00f3 th\u00fas an soisc\u00e9al. Is r\u00fandiamhair an tsl\u00e1naithe \u00ed an eaglais ina teagasc agus i mbeatha na bhf\u00edr\u00e9an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tugann sin go dt\u00ed an tr\u00ed\u00fa pointe sinn: agallamh ag an eaglais lei f\u00e9in agus le saol an lae inniu. N\u00ed m\u00f3r don eaglais \u00ed f\u00e9in a leas\u00fa de sh\u00edor leis an toradh a thabhairt a thugann an solas uaidh, gach cine\u00e1l maitheasa agus f\u00edr\u00e9antachta agus f\u00edrinne. Go minic inniu nuair a labhartar faoi leas\u00fa na heaglaise is iad \u201cna struct\u00fair\u201d at\u00e1 i gceist, go m\u00f3r m\u00f3r sa Vatac\u00e1in, an \u201ccuria\u201d ach go h\u00e1irithe. B\u00edodh go bhfuil t\u00e1bhacht leis sin, n\u00ed h\u00e9 sin an leas\u00fa go pr\u00edomha at\u00e1 i gceist, ach athr\u00fa i meon agus i gcleachtadh na bhf\u00edr\u00e9an le go mbeidis de r\u00e9ir an tsoisc\u00e9il, le fianaise a thabhairt do \u00cdosa. Pointe eile san agallamh seo n\u00e1 go bhfeiceann roinnt mhaith daoine inniu ar an rud a dtugann creidmhigh \u201csolas\u201d air mar dhorchadas, sheanaimsearthacht.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Freagra don Chreideamh leis an mB\u00edobla leis an Ath.
