Menemukan Damai Melalui Kristus

Baca: Roma 5:1-11

"Sebab itu, kita yang dibenarkan karena iman, kita hidup dalam damai sejahtera dengan Allah oleh karena Tuhan kita, Yesus Kristus." (Roma 5:1)

Jutaan orang di dunia selalu mencari damai sejahtera tetapi tidak bisa memperolehnya. Semakin mendekat ke damai itu (yang hanya ditemukan dalam Kristus Yesus), semakin setan menarik mereka menjauh. Setan membutakan mereka dengan berbagai doktrin teoritis yang dibuat manusia. Tetapi puji Tuhan untuk kasih-Nya, kita, orang-orang Kristen, menemukan damai sejahtera melalui Yesus Kristus.

Hari-hari ini dunia masih mencari suatu kedamaian. Seolah-olah dunia sedang berlari menuju ke suatu kondisi yang lebih baik dalam setiap aspek yang menyangkut kedamaian. Tetapi sebenarnya manusia tidak tahu bahwa jalan untuk menerima damai sejati (yang sesungguhnya telah Allah berikan kepada mereka) adalah melalui anak-Nya. Paulus berkata, "dan jalan damai tidak mereka kenal; rasa takut kepada Allah tidak ada pada orang itu." (Roma 3:17-18).

Kita harus berusaha untuk suatu kedamaian. Tetapi Tuhan berkata, "Kamu akan mendengar deru perang atau kabar-kabar tentang perang. Namun berawas-awaslah jangan kamu gelisah; sebab semuanya itu harus terjadi, tetapi itu belum kesudahannya. Sebab bangsa akan bangkit melawan bangsa, dan kerajaan melawan kerajaan. Akan ada kelaparan dan gempa bumi di berbagai tempat." (Matius 24:6-7). Manusia tidak bisa menciptakan kedamaian dengan usaha sendiri. Damai sejahtera dapat dialami hanya ketika kita menerima pengampunan Allah dan dipulihkannya hubungan kita dengan Dia melalui darah Kristus. Dengan cara ini kita dapat memiliki hubungan harmonis dengan Allah Bapa kita. Tanpa pencurahan darah Kristus di kayu salib tidak akan ada damai Tuhan, dan hanya dengan iman kita menerima Yesus. Kita dibenarkan oleh Allah dan ketika Kristus masuk dalam hati, kita dimerdekakan dari rasa berdosa yang menghantui kita.

Alkitab berkata, "Karena semua orang telah berbuat dosa dan telah kehilangan kemuliaan Allah, dan oleh kasih karunia telah dibenarkan dengan cuma-cuma karena penebusan dalam Kristus Yesus." (Roma 3:23-24).

Kita sekarang memiliki damai sejahtera dalam hati kita sehingga kita dapat dengan bebas tanpa rasa takut datang kepada Bapa kita.

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 ...
