Adakah Yang Mustahil Bagi Tuhan?

Baca: Lukas 9:37-43a

"Hai kamu angkatan yang tidak percaya dan yang sesat, berapa lama lagi Aku harus tinggal di antara kamu dan sabar terhadap kamu? Bawa anakmu itu kemari!" (Lukas 9:41)

Ada seorang anak yang sejak kecil menderita sakit karena kerasukan setan. Seringkali kejang-kejang dan mulutnya berbusa karena pekerjaan roh jahat yang berusaha membunuhnya. Terkadang roh jahat membawanya ke air agar tenggelam atau ke dalam api agar mati terbakar.

Suatu ketika orangtua si anak mendengar kabar tentang mujizat-mujizat yang kerjakan Yesus. Tanpa menunda-nunda waktu ia pun membawa anaknya kepada Yesus. "Guru, aku memohon supaya Engkau menengok anakku, sebab ia adalah satu-satunya anakku. Sewaktu-waktu ia diserang roh, lalu mendadak ia berteriak dan roh itu menggoncang-goncangkannya sehingga mulutnya berbusa. Roh itu terus saja menyiksa dia dan hampir-hampir tidak mau meninggalkannya." (ayat 38-39). Orangtua si anak juga komplain karena ia pernah membawa anaknya kepada murid-murid-Nya untuk didoakan, tapi tidak ada kesembuhan. Inilah respons Yesus, "Hai kamu angkatan yang tidak percaya... Bawa anakmu itu kemari!" (ayat nas).

Inilah yang terjadi dalam diri banyak orang Kristen: tahu bahwa Tuhan sanggup melakukan mujizat, bahkan hampir di setiap ibadah sering mendengar khotbah tentang kuasa Tuhan dan pekerjaan besar-Nya; namun begitu dihadapkan pada masalah dan situasi yang sulit, secepat kilat lupa dengan firman Tuhan, lupa dengan kebesaran kuasa-Nya, kita pun menjadi panik, kalang kabut, menyalahkan keadaan, menyalahkan orang lain. Kita menjadi cemas, kuatir, bimbang, ragu, mempertanyakan kuasa Tuhan. "Orang yang demikian janganlah mengira, bahwa ia akan menerima sesuatu dari Tuhan." (Yakobus 1:7).

Tidak ada perkara yang mustahil asal kita percaya! Percaya bahwa kuasa Tuhan tidak dapat dibatasi oleh situasi dan keadaan apa pun. Situasi atau keadaan seringkali membuat iman lemah. Supaya iman semakin kuat kita harus banyak mendengar firman Tuhan, sebab iman timbul dari pendengaran akan firman-Nya. Selama kita fokus kepada janji Tuhan dan kuasa-Nya, sebesar apa pun masalah pasti kita sanggup melewatinya, sebab kita percaya bahwa Tuhan selalu punya 1001 cara untuk menolong kita.

"Maka takjublah semua orang itu karena kebesaran Allah." (Lukas 9:43a)

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 ...
