Hari Tuhan Sudah Dekat (2)

Baca: Lukas 12:35-48

"Hendaklah kamu juga siap sedia, karena Anak Manusia datang pada saat yang tidak kamu sangkakan." (Lukas 12:40)

Apa yang kita banggakan dengan keadaan kita saat ini? Sia-sia belaka jika kita mengandalkan kekuatan sendiri. Pemazmur menyatakan bahwa orang yang mengandalkan kekuatan, kemampuan dan kepintaran sendiri tidak akan mampu bertahan. Dikatakan, "Orang ini memegahkan kereta dan orang itu memegahkan kuda, tetapi kita bermegah dalam nama Tuhan, Allah kita. Mereka rebah dan jatuh, tetapi kita bangun berdiri dan tetap tegak." (Mazmur 20:8-9).

Kita tahu bahwa peperangan kita bukanlah melawan darah dan daging, tetapi"...melawan pemerintah-pemerintah, melawan penguasa-penguasa, melawan penghulu-penghulu dunia yang gelap ini, melawan roh-roh jahat di udara." (Efesus 6:12). Di akhir zaman ini, menjelang kedatangan Tuhan yang kian dekat, Iblis akan semakin meningkatkan serangannya, berbagai cara ditempuh untuk menghancurkan manusia. Karena ini, "Sadarlah dan berjaga-jagalah! Lawanmu, si Iblis, berjalan keliling sama seperti singa yang mengaum-aum dan mencari orang yang dapat ditelannya." (1 Petrus 5:8). Kalau kita mengandalkan kekuatan sendiri kita tidak akan mampu menghadapinya. Kita harus makin melekat kepada Tuhan dan mengandalkan Dia dalam segala perkara.

Sudah siapkah kita menyongsong kedatangan Tuhan? Mari kita mempersiapkan diri sebaik mungkin, supaya saat Dia datang kelak didapati hidup kita tak bercacat cela dan kita layak menjadi mempelaiNya. Sekarang ini bukan saatnya untuk bermain-main dengan dosa. Tidak ada istilah kompromi atau suam-suam kuku! Sebab jika kita suam-suam kuku, Tuhan akan memuntahkan kita (baca Wahyu 3:16). Mumpung masih ada kesempatan marilah kita hidup dalam pertobatan setiap hari dan melayani Tuhan dengan sungguh-sungguh.

Sayangnya masih banyak orang Kristen yang hidup dalam kegelapan dan melakukan dosa di tempat-tempat "tersembunyi" dengan harapan perbuatan-perbuatannya tidak nampak. Pada saat Tuhan datang kembali jangan sampai kita ditemukan sedang tidur (mati rohani). Tuhan menghendaki kita tetap berjaga-jaga.

"Sesungguhnya Aku datang segera dan Aku membawa upah-Ku untuk membalaskan kepada setiap orang menurut perbuatannya." (Wahyu 22:12)

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 ...
