Pemeliharaan Allah yang Sempurna

Pemeliharaan Allah yang Sempurna

Markus 4:26-29

Yesus kembali menjelaskan Kerajaan Allah dengan perumpamaan benih yang ditabur. Pertumbuhan benih sampai menjadi pohon berada dalam kuasa Allah. Manusia hanya tinggal merasakannya. Allah akan mengerjakan bagian utamanya, yaitu memberi pertumbuhan. Manusia tidak dapat memastikan jalannya pertumbuhan, mereka hanya bisa melihat saja. Walau bukan manusia yang mengusahakan pertumbuhan tersebut, manusia dapat menikmati buahnya. Ini sungguh anugerah.

Hal Kerajaan Allah seperti benih yang bertumbuh sampai menghasilkan buah. Segala sesuatu akan berkembang sesuai prosesnya. Manusia adalah mahkluk terbatas karena terikat dalam ruang dan waktu. Keberadaannya dibatasi waktu dan ruang. Dengan perumpamaan ini, Yesus ingin membimbing umat-Nya agar dapat memahami cara kerja Allah yang agung dan mulia dalam kehidupannya. Manusia tidak dapat memperlambat atau pun mempercepat kehidupannya. Mereka hanya bisa menjalani setiap saat dengan penuh perhatian supaya mendapatkan kehidupan yang baik.

Setelah benih ditaburkan di tanah, manusia sudah tidak lagi memiliki peran. Allahlah yang akan menyatakan kuasanya. Benih mulai bertunas, tunasnya makin besar dan kemudian menjadi batang pohon yang makin membesar dan kuat. Kuasa Allahlah juga yang membuat benih itu menjadi pohon yang mengeluarkan buah (27-28).

Setiap manusia perlu menjalani hidupnya dengan penuh harap kepada Allah. Ini akan menjadikan manusia merasakan pemeliharaan Allah yang begitu agung dalam kehidupannya. Pada akhirnya manusia akan menikmati hal yang baik dari Allah sesuai waktu-Nya (29).

Bersyukurlah karena Allah berdaulat atas waktu. Ia memiliki otoritas sepenuhnya atas kehidupan kita. Tidak ada yang dapat memengaruhi-Nya untuk berbuat atau tidak berbuat sesuatu. Semuanya ada dalam kehendak-Nya. Ini semestinya membuat kita berserah pada kehendak-Nya. Dan untuk itu memang dibutuhkan kesabaran. kita. [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 ...
