Láthair Dé

Agus mé ag dul isteach san tráth urnaí seo, táim feasach gur tíolacadh ó Dhia, a choinníonn an dé ionam, m’anáil. Déanaim análú beagán níos moille, go domhain agus go réidh ar feadh cúpla nóiméad.

Saoirse

“Fág saor anseo mé go h-iomlán im’ aonar, i gcill nár las solas na gréine riamh. Mura labhrann éinne liom riamh, fágann an ciúnas órga seo mé saor.” Cuid de dhán a scríobh príosúnach ag campa géibhinn Dachau.

Comhfhios

I láthair mo Chruthaitheora grámhar, féachaim go macánta ar mo mhothúcháin le linn an lae: na buaicphointí, na hamanna ísle agus an talamh cothrom. An bhfeicim cá raibh an Tiarna i láthair?

Briathar Dé

¹⁶“I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. ¹⁷Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues, ¹⁸and you will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the gentiles. ¹⁹When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you at that time, ²⁰for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. ²¹Sibling will betray sibling to death and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, ²²and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. ²³When they persecute you in this town, flee to the next, for truly I tell you, you will not have finished going through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Inspioráid

Chuir Íosa i gcuimhne do na deisceabail nach raibh e. Bheadh ​​roinnt aon chinnteacht ann go nglacfaí leo agus fulaingthe ann, mar a bhí sé féin tar éis a mhothú. Guímid go mbeadh an tsaoirse agus an misneach againn dul amach in ainm Íosa, dírithe ar an mbronntanas atá le roinnt againn.

I measc aon deacrachta, is é an glao ná muinín a bheith agat as Dia maidir leis an méid atá le rá, óir tabharfar an rud atá de dhíth. A Thiarna, neartaigh sinn chun glacadh le diúltú agus le feall, fiú ag ár ndaoine féin, agus muid ar an eolas nár ghlac do mhuintir féin leat (Eoin 1:11).

Comhrá

Cad iad na mothúcháin atá ag ardú ionam agus mé ag guí agus ag machnamh ar Bhriathar Dé?
Samhlaím Íosa é féin ina shuí nó ina sheasamh in aice liom agus osclaím mo chroí dó.

Conclúid

Gabhaim buíochas le Dia as na cúpla nóiméad seo a chaitheamar le chéile agus as aon léargas a fuair mé maidir leis an téacs.
