We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is never said in so many words that we are to give 10% in the NT, though it is worth pointing out that the tithe was not original to Moses and the Mosaic law. It is found early in the life of God’s people. Abraham paid a tithe to Melchizedek in Gen. 14, if you remember. There is some case there for arguing that the tithe is basic to human life as God ordered it. But, if you are not persuaded of that, remember that if the 10th is not our rule any longer, surely in the NT we are not going to argue that we should give less! We are not going to argue that having seen the Lord on the cross, having witnessed the resurrection, knowing as we now do what price was paid for our redemption, we should give less than they did in the OT? Surely not. Jesus, remember, makes a point of calling attention to the generous gift of a poor woman when she was worshipping at the temple and Paul makes a good deal of the sacrificial financial stewardship required of Christian believers. Now, perhaps we like the tithe after all!

    MK 16:1 `S nuair a chaidh an t-sabaid seachad, cheannaich Mairi Magdalen, is Mairi mathair Sheumais, agus Salome, spiosradh, los gum falbhadh iad gus Iosa ungadh.

    MK 16:2 Agus ro-mhoch sa mhaduinn air a chiad latha den t-seachduin, thainig iad thun na h-uaighe an deigh eirigh na greine.

    MK 16:3 `S bha iad ag radh ri cheile: Co charaicheas a chlach dhuinn bho bhial na h-uaighe?

    MK 16:4 `Sa toirt sula, chunnaic iad a chlach air a carachadh air falbh. Oir b` anabarrach mor i.

    MK 16:5 `Sa dol a stigh dhan uaigh, chunnaic iad fear og na shuidhe air an taobh dheas, an eideadh geal, agus bha sgath orra.

    MK 16:6 Is thuirt e riutha: Na biodh eagal oirbh: tha sibh a sireadh Iosa bho Nasareth a chaidh a cheusadh: dh` eirich e, chan eil e an so, seallaibh an t-aite far na chuir iad e.

    MK 16:7 Ach falbhaibh, is innsibh dha dheisciopuil, agus do Pheadar, gu bheil e dol roimhibh do Ghalile: chi sibh an sin e, mar thuirt e ribh.

    MK 16:8 `Sa gabhail a mach, theich iadsan bhon uaigh: oir ghlac eagal is uamhas iad; `s cha tuirt iad ni ri duine sam bith: oir bha sgath orra.

    MK 16:9 Ach esan ag eirigh moch sa mhaduinn air a chiad latha den t-seachduin, chunnacas an toiseach e le Mairi Magdalen, as na chuir e seachd deomhain.

    MK 16:10 Dh` fhalbh ise, agus dh` innis i dhaibhsan a bha air a bhith comhla ris, `s iad a gal sa caoidh.

    MK 16:11 Is iadsan a cluinntinn gun robh e beo, `s gum facas e leatha, cha do chreid iad.

    MK 16:12 `S an deigh sin dh` fhiach e e fhein an riochd eile do dhithis dhiu, a bha coiseachd a mach don duthaich.

    MK 16:13 Agus dh` fhalbh iadsan, is dh` innis iad do chach: `S cha mhua chreid iadsan iad.

    MK 16:14 Mu dheireadh chunnacas e leis na h-aon-diag, nuair a bha iad aig bord; agus chronaich e iad air son am mi-chreidimh agus cruas an cridhe: a thaobh nach do chreid iad an fheadhainn a chunnaic e an deigh aiseirigh.

    MK 16:15 Is thuirt e riutha: Falbhaibh feadh an t-saoghail gu leir, agus searmonaichibh an soisgeul dhan h-uile creutair.

    MK 16:16 Esan a chreideas `sa bhaistear, sabhailear e: ach esan nach creid, theid a dhiteadh.

    MK 16:17 Agus leanaidh na comharran so iadsan a chreideas: Nam ainmse tilgidh iad a mach deomhain: labhraidh iad le teangannan ura;

    MK 16:18 Is togaidh iad nathraichean; agus ma dh` olas iad ni marbhtach sam bith, cha dean e cron orra; cuiridh iad an lamhan air daoine tinn, agus bithidh iad gu math.

    MK 16:19 Agus an deigh don Tighearna Iosa labhairt riutha, thogadh suas e gu neamh, agus tha e `na shuidhe air laimh dheis Dhe.

    MK 16:20 Agus chaidh iadsan a mach, agus shearmonaich iad anns gach aite, an Tighearna a co-oibreachadh leo, `sa daingneachadh an fhacail leis na comharran a lean. Amen.
