Mengikuti Jejak Kristus : Pelaku Firman

Baca: Lukas 6:46-49

"Mengapa kamu berseru kepada-Ku: Tuhan, Tuhan, padahal kamu tidak melakukan apa yang Aku katakan?" (Lukas 6:46)

Hati Tuhan akan disenangkan apabila kita mengasihi Dia lebih dari segala-galanya. Bukti bahwa kita mengasihi Tuhan adalah ketika kita mentaati firman-Nya dengan sepenuh hati. Tertulis: "Jikalau kamu mengasihi Aku, kamu akan menuruti segala perintah-Ku." (Yohanes 14:15). Ketika kita tidak taat berarti kita belum sepenuhnya mengasihi Tuhan.

Ketaatan berarti bersedia dan rela mengosongkan diri, mengesampingkan keinginan pribadi dan lebih mengutamakan apa yang menjadi kehendak Tuhan dalam hidup kita, seperti yang Tuhan Yesus katakan, "...janganlah seperti yang Kukehendaki, melainkan seperti yang Engkau kehendaki." (Matius 26:39). Inilah yang disebut penyangkalan diri.

Menjadi pengikut Kristus berarti siap untuk melakukan firman Tuhan. Mengapa ketaatan itu penting? Karena ketaatan adalah fondasi yang kuat bagi kehidupan orang percaya. Ketika kita tidak hidup dalam ketaatan, kita akan mudah sekali lemah, goyah dn bahkan roboh ketika diterjang oleh badai kehidupan karena kita membangun hidup kita di atas tanah tanpa fondasi yang kokoh. "...setiap orang yang mendengar perkataan-Ku ini dan tidak melakukannya, ia sama dengan orang yang bodoh, yang mendirikan rumahnya di atas pasir. Kemudian turunlah hujan dan datanglah banjir, lalu angin melanda rumah itu, sehingga rubuhlah rumah itu dan hebatlah kerusakannya." (Matius 7:26-27). Tetapi ketika kita hidup dalam ketaatan, "ia sama dengan seorang yang mendirikan rumah: Orang itu menggali dalam-dalam dan meletakkan dasarnya di atas batu. Ketika datang air bah dan banjir melanda rumah itu, rumah itu tidak dapat digoyahkan, karena rumah itu kokoh dibangun." (Lukas 6:48).

Ketaatan adalah kunci memiliki kehidupan Kristen yang berdampak bagi dunia. Sebaliknya ketika kita tidak taat melakukan kehendak Tuhan, dengan kata lain tidak menjadi pelaku firman, kita pun akan kehilangan pengaruhnya, sama seperti garam yang kehilangan rasa asinnya. Oleh karena itu kita harus terus melatih diri dalam hal ketaatan ini, sebab ketaatan tidak terjadi secara instan tapi melalui proses demi proses.

Jadilah pelaku firman, bukan hanya sebagai pendengar; inilah kehendak Tuhan!

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 ...
