Renungan Mau Menyadari Kesalahan

Baca: Lukas 15:11-24

"Bapa, aku telah berdosa terhadap sorga dan terhadap bapa, aku tidak layak lagi disebutkan anak bapa." (Lukas 15:21)

Keberadaan manusia "Tidak ada yang benar, seorangpun tidak" (Roma 3:10). Tak ada gading yang tak retak. Tak seorang pun luput atau kebal terhadap kesalahan. Sehebat apa pun seseorang, pastilah pernah melakukan kesalahan. Yang membedakan adalah: tidak semua orang mau mengakui kesalahan. Mari jujur bahwa mengakui kesalahan bukanlah hal yang mudah dilakukan dan memerlukan keterbukaan serta kerendahan hati. Karena gengsi, takut ditolak atau dianggap rendah, seringkali orang tidak berani mengakui kesalahannya, malah berusaha menutupinya. Yang berjiwa besar pasti mau mengakui kesalahannya walaupun dibutuhkan suatu keberanian!

Bacaan alkitab kali ini menceritakan tentang seorang anak yang melakukan kesalahan besar dalam hidupnya: meminta harta dari ayahnya lalu menghamburkannya dengan hidup berfoya-foya sampai akhirnya melarat dan terlunta-lunta, bahkan "...ia ingin mengisi perutnya dengan ampas yang menjadi makanan babi itu, tetapi tidak seorangpun yang memberikannya kepadanya." (Lukas 15:16). Karena menderita si anak segera menyadari kesalahannya dan merasakan penyesalannya. Kesadaran merupakan langkah positif menuju kesembuhan! Banyak orang pulang ke rumah adalah teringat bahwa kasih bapanya lebih besar dari pada segala kesalahannya (ayat 18).

Prinsip ini sangat penting: kasih Tuhan selalu lebih besar dari segala kesalahan kita. Namun ini bukanlah alasan melakukan dosa, melainkan pengharapan bahwa Tuhan tidak pernah menolak siapa pun yang datang kepadaNya, betapa pun besar kesalahannya. Ia tidak pernah memutuskan hubungan dengan kita, justru kitalah yang seringkali menolak dan meninggalkanNya. Maka segeralah si bungsu bangkit dan pergi kepada bapanya dengan penuh pengharapan (ayat 20). Bila kita tidak segera menyadari kesalahan dan bangkit, pembaharuan/pemulihan takkan pernah terjadi dalam hidup kita.

Tuhan mengampuni setiap dosa dan pelanggaran yang kita akui dan Dia sanggup memulihkan keadaan 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 ...
