Selalu Ada yang Setia

Selalu Ada yang Setia

Ratapan 5:1-22

Pasal terakhir dari Kitab Ratapan ini berisi sebuah doa syafaat. Dalam syafaatnya, Yeremia mengakui bahwa Allah yang memberikan hukuman kepada Yerusalem masih mau mendengar seruan umat-Nya. Ia akan merespons kesungguhan hati mereka dengan ampunan. Pada ayat 2-18 Yeremia melukiskan keadaan orang-orang Yehuda yang dibuang di negeri Babel. Kemudian Kitab Ratapan ini diakhiri dengan doa harapan akan kemurahan Allah (19-22).

Dalam doanya, Yeremia memohon agar Tuhan mengingat kondisi umat-Nya dalam masa pembuangan. Mereka sangat lelah karena segala derita dan aniaya yang dilakukan bangsa Babel. Di sini Yeremia mewakili generasi kedua dari bangsa Yehuda untuk mengungkapkan isi hati mereka (7). Mereka mau agar hukuman atas perbuatan dosa yang dilakukan orangtua mereka jangan lagi ditanggungkan kepada diri mereka. Di sini kita melihat bagaimana Yeremia mewakili umat berdialog kepada Tuhan. Ia bertanya mengapa Tuhan melupakan mereka dan mengapa mereka harus mengalami penderitaan yang sangat lama (20)? Yeremia juga menyadari bahwa dosa mereka yang menyebabkan semuanya itu terjadi. Sebab itu, ia berdoa agar Tuhan berkenan membawa umat kembali kepada-Nya dan membarui kehidupan mereka.

Hal di atas menunjukkan bahwa selalu ada orang-orang yang masih takut akan Tuhan di tengah kemerosotan moral dan penderitaan yang dialami. Mereka masih memelihara kesetiaan iman kepada Tuhan. Mereka selalu mendidik anak-anaknya dalam iman. Karena itu, generasi kedua ini tahu apa yang dialami oleh bangsanya dan apa penyebabnya. Mereka pun berefleksi dan berdialog dengan Tuhan.

Sejarah bangsa Yehuda mengingatkan kita bahwa selalu ada orang-orang yang masih setia kepada Tuhan di tengah angkatan yang bobrok. Merekalah yang akan menarik bangsanya dekat dengan Tuhan sehingga pemulihan itu terjadi. Kita harus yakin dan bersyukur bahwa pada masa kini juga ada orang-orang seperti itu. Berdoalah agar Tuhan menjadikan kita orang yang setia di mana pun kita berada. [MH]

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
