Jangan Jadikan Aturan sebagai Alasan

Jangan Jadikan Aturan sebagai Alasan

Markus 3:1-6

Bagi orang Yahudi, ada banyak aturan yang mengikat di dalam kehidupan mereka, yang berdasarkan pada Hukum Taurat. Salah satu tujuan dari aturan tersebut adalah untuk mewujudkan kebaikan bersama.

Pada perikop ini kita melihat bagaimana orang-orang Farisi menggunakan Hukum Taurat untuk menjebak Yesus. Ia diperhadapkan dengan salah satu hukum yang sangat sakral dalam Hukum Taurat, yaitu Sabat. Di sini kehadiran kaum Farisi dalam rumah ibadat tidak memberikan dampak positif karena mereka sedang bersiasat untuk membuat kegaduhan. Mereka mengamati Yesus dan menunggu kesempatan yang tepat untuk menyalahkan dan membunuh Yesus (2, 6).

Waktu yang ditunggu-tunggu pun tiba. Pada hari Sabat Yesus berjumpa dengan seseorang yang sebelah tangannya lumpuh di rumah ibadat. Orang-orang Farisi memahami bahwa belas kasihan Yesus terhadap orang yang membutuhkan pertolongan akan mendorong diri-Nya bertindak untuk menyembuhkannya.

Menyembuhkan orang menurut aturan Taurat dapat dikategorikan sebagai kerja. Yesus Orang Nazaraet tentu saja dapat dipersalahkan karena melanggar Hukum Taurat. Bagi orang Farisi, itulah saat yang paing tepat untuk menangkap Yesus.

Namun, Yesus menanggapi jebakan orang-orang Farisi secara cerdik. Ia menyembuhkan orang yang lumpuh sebelah tangannya dengan cara yang tidak dikategorikan sebagai kerja. Ia hanya meminta orang tersebut berdiri di tengah (3). Maksudnya agar semua yang hadir dapat melihat keadaan orang tersebut dan memahami bahwa si lumpuh membutuhkan pertolongan. Pertanyaan Yesus kepada kaum Farisi bertujuan untuk meluruskan pemahaman mereka bahwa aturan keagamaan tidak boleh menghalang-halangi seseorang dalam berbuat baik (4).

Iman Kristen tidak boleh hanya menjadi dogma yang tidak memberikan kontribusi yang baik dan bermanfaat dalam kehidupan pribadi maupun bersama. Iman semestinya berbuah dalam tindakan sehingga dirasakan manfaatnya oleh masyarakat. [JS]

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 ...
