Renungan Allah Yang Tak Terbatas

Baca: Yohanes 3:22-36

"Sebab siapa yang diutus Allah, Dialah yang menyampaikan firman Allah, karena Allah mengaruniakan RohNya dengan tidak terbatas." (Yohanes 3:34)

Sudah terlalu lama manusia membatasi Allah dengan segala macam pikiran sia-sia. Tetapi Allah ingin menunjukkan tentang ketidakterbatasan kuasaNya melalui PuteraNya Yesus Kristus. Hidup Yesus merupakan gambaran kesempurnaan, tentang seorang Anak manusia yang hidup di antara manusia tetapi tanpa batas-batas. Kesempuranaan ini adalah karena Allah mengaruniakan RohNya tanpa batas kepada PuteraNya itu. Tertulis: "Bapa mengasihi Anak dan telah menyerahkan segala sesuatu kepadaNya." (ayat 35).

Allah selalu menghendaki anak-anakNya juga hidup dalam kesempurnaan. Dia ingin umatNya selalu membuka mata rohaninya dengan baik, karena umat yang selalu tersandung, terjatuh dan meraba-raba ketika berjalan dalam kegelapan dunia ini tidaklah dapat memuliakan Allah. Pemazmur menulis: "FirmanMu itu pelita bagi kakiku dan terang bagi jalanku." (Mazmur 119:105). Kalau kita menjadikan firman Allah sebagai pelita dan terang bagi jalan kita, kita tak akan tersandung menghadapi gelapnya situasi dunia ini. Itulah sebabnya Tuhan memerintahkan jemaat di Laodikia untuk melumas mata mereka dengan minyak agar mereka dapat melihat (baca Wahyu 3:18). Minyak lambang Roh Kudus, yang berkuasa membersihkan semua kotran yang menhalangi pandangan mata rohani manusia, agar orang-orang pilihanNya memiliki visi yang jelas, tak terbatas, sehingga siapa pun musuhnya tak dapat memperdaya.

Ada contoh tentang nabi Elisa ketika raja Aram hendak berperang melawan bangsa Israel. Setiap rencana raja Aram selalu diketahui Elisa sekalipun pembicaraan itu dilakukan di dalam kamar. Akibatnya raja Aram menjadi sangat marah sehingga ia menyuruh pasukan besar lengkap dengan kuda dan keretanya mengepung Elisa. Itu sangat mengejutkan bujang Elisa dan ia menjadi sangat takut. Tetapi Elisa mempunyai mata rohani yang tajam, yang sanggup menembus penglihatan yang tidak dapat dilihat oleh bujangnya. Elisa berkata, "Jangan takut, sebab lebih banyak yang menyertai kita dari pada yang menyertai mereka." (2 Raja-Raja 6:16). Elisa melihat ada sepasukan besar malaikat dengan kereta berapi yang siap menolong dan berperang bagi Elisa.

Dengan mata rohani kita dapat melihat kuasa Tuhan yang tak terbatas!

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 ...
