Sukacita Dalam Kebangkitan (The Joy of The Resurrection)

** Firman Tuhan: Lukas 24:52 **
"Mereka sujud menyembah kepada-Nya, lalu pulang ke Yerusalem dengan sangat bersukacita."

       Sewaktu di bangku SMA, teman saya pernah mengalami rasa kehilangan yang amat mendalam, yaitu berpulangnya nenek & kakek yang sangat ia sayangi di depan matanya. Dunia seakan runtuh kala dia mengetahui hal tersebut. Sedih, bingung, takut, dan galau-campur aduk menjadi satu. Teman saya menjadi kehilangan pegangan dan tempat curahan hati.

       Para murid Yesus tentu juga sangat berduka kala mereka ditinggal mati Guru mereka. Pupus sudah harapan mereka. Tetapi, berita kebangkitan Yesus menghadirkan perubahan dalam diri mereka. Dulu mereka kebingungan dan tak berdaya karena kematian Yesus. Tetapi, setelah Yesus bangkit, tidak ada lagi tempat bagi keraguan dan ketakutan! Pengharapan yang semula pupus, kemudian bersemi dan mekar kembali. Empat puluh hari telah berlalu. Para murid saat itu ada bersama dengan Yesus. Yesus pun memberkati mereka, suatu jaminan perlindungan dan pimpinan-Nya atas mereka. Kemudian Dia terangkat ke surga dan mereka sujud menyembah Dia. Rangkaian kejadian ini mengubah dukacita para murid menjadi sukacita.

       Kini Dia ada di surga, duduk di sebelah kanan Bapa, mempersiapkan tempat bagi kita. Bukan berarti pelayanan-Nya berhenti sampai di situ. Sebagai orang percaya yang mengaku sebagai murid-Nya, kita ditetapkan untuk melanjutkan pelayanan yang telah Dia mulai di dalam diri kita. Kita dipanggil untuk membawa kasih, memberitakan pembebasan dari belenggu dosa, dan mendatangkan sukacita kepada orang miskin dan terbuang sampai Dia datang kembali untuk menjemput kita.

SeLamat hari kebangkitan Tuhan Yesus. Tuhan mengasihi & memberkati kita sekalian sampai selama-lamanya.

KITA SEKALIAN ADALAH DUTA BESAR ALLAH UNTUK

MELUASKAN KERAJAAN-NYA DI BUMI INI.

** Scripture: Luke 24:52 **
"They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy."

       While in high school, my friend had experienced a deep sense of loss, his grandma & his grandpa who highly he loved had passed away in front of his eyes. it was like that world collapsed like he knows everything about the scorpion. Sad, confused, scared, and confusion-jumble into one. My friends lost their grip and liver flushing.

        The disciples of Jesus would also very troubled times they left their teacher dead. Already depleted their expectations. But, the news of the resurrection of Jesus make the difference in them. Their first bewilderment and helpless because of the death of Jesus. But, after he rose, there is no place for doubt and fear! Extinction of hope, then sprout and bloom again. Forty days have passed. The students then was with Jesus. Jesus already blessed them, an assurance of His protection and guidance for them. Then he lifted up to heaven, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Network this incident changed the disciples sorrow into joy.

        Now he is in heaven, and sitteth on the right of the Father, to prepare a place for us. His ministry does not mean that stopping up there. As believers who profess to be His disciples, we are determined to continue the ministry that He has started in us. We are called to bring love, preach deliverance from the shackles of sin, and bring joy to the poor and abandoned until he came back to pick us.

Happy Ascension of Jesus Christ. God loves & bless us forever :)
