bayangkan ada teman yang mengundang kita

ke sebuah pesta ketika kita tiba kita

melihat ada banyak orang ada hiasan

makanan dan minuman yang cukup untuk

semua orang ketika kita dijamu oleh

seseorang yang begitu murah hati kita

tidak perlu khawatir tentang apa yang

kita perlukan kita tinggal menikmati

pestanya dan memperhatikan orang-orang

di sekitar kita ya itulah yang

diinginkan oleh tuan rumah yang baik

bagi tamu-tamunya dan begitulah gambaran

dunia yang kita temukan dalam Alkitab

penciptaan merupakan ungkapan kasih

Allah yang penuh kemurahan Ia adalah

sang tuan rumah dan kita manusia adalah

tamu-tamunya di dunia yang penuh dengan

kesempatan dan kelimpahan dan kita

dipanggil untuk terus berpresta dan

mengabarkan kebaikannya ini adalah

gambaran yang sangat indah tetapi

manusia tidak menikmati dunia seperti

itu melainkan kita hidup dalam dunia

yang serba kekurangan dan penuh dengan

kesulitan bukannya kelimpahan dan Yesus

dibesarkan di dunia yang seperti itu

yang ada di bawah penduduk

Premier banyak orang kehilangan tanah

dan keluarga mereka akibat hutang dan

kemiskinan namun ia berkata seperti ini

pandanglah burung-burung di langit

mereka tidak menyimpan makanan dalam

lumbung tetapi mereka hidup berkecukupan

dan perhatikanlah bunga bakung di Padang

yang indah dan berlimpah dan tumbuh

Tanpa Rasa khawatir kita pun harus hidup

seperti itu namun Yesus tentu tahu kalau

kita tidak selalu berhasil dalam segala

hal maksudnya terkadang kita masih hidup

berkekurangan dan Yesus sendiri pun

hidup dalam kemiskinan namun ia melihat

dunia seperti kisah dalam kitab suci

Ibrani yang menyatakan bahwa masalah

kekurangan kita bukanlah berasal dari

kurangnya sumber daya melainkan karena

pola pikir kita yang tidak bisa

mempercayai Allah mungkin Allah Sedang

menolak kita mungkin kita memang hidup

berkekurangan dan perlu mengatasi

masalah kita sendiri nah begitu kita

tertipu ke dalam pola pikir yang serta

kekurangan ini maka ini akan menjadi

alasan buat kita lebih mementingkan diri

dan milik kita sendiri dibandingkan

orang lain dan juga membawa kita kepada

iri hati kemarahan kekerasan dan hidup

yang sepertinya serba kekurangan

pestanya telah berakhir dan berubah

menjadi medan pertempuran tetapi Allah

ingin manusia mengalami kemurahan

hatinya sehingga ia memilih satu

keluarga yaitu keluarga Abraham dan ia

berjanji untuk memberi mereka hidup yang

berkelimpahan yang ia juga kehendaki

bagi semua orang Allah akan menyediakan

apa yang mereka butuhkan yang perlu

mereka lakukan hanyalah percaya pada

kemurahan Allah dan melalui mereka

seluruh dunia akan melihat betapa murah

hatinya sang tuan rumah itu tetapi bukan

itu yang terjadi orang-orang Israel

keturunan Abraham menempati tanah yang

berkelimpahan tetapi Tak lama kemudian

mereka melupakan sang tuan rumah yang

telah memberi tanah itu kepada mereka

mereka bertindak seolah-olah Itu semua

memang milik mereka tapi sepertinya

masih belum cukup inilah yang

menyebabkan bangsa Israel berakhir dalam

peperangan dan menghancurkan diri

sendiri kalau kita yang menjadi sang

tuan rumah Mungkin kita sudah menyerah

tetapi Allah tidak menyerah

dia malah melakukan sesuatu yang

menakjubkan ia memberikan karunia

lainnya karunia yang lain ya tetapi

karunia ini berbeda yang Allah berikan

adalah dirinya sendiri Oh iya benar

melalui Yesus sang tuan rumah sendiri

yang datang untuk bergabung ke dalam

pesta yang kacau Itu dan coba perhatikan

Yesus hidup dengan keyakinan bahwa ia

berkecukupan karena sang tuan rumah yang

murah hati itu dapat dipercaya pola

pikirnya tentang kelimpahan membuat dia

dapat hidup dengan penuh pengorbanan dan

kemurahan bahkan terhadap para musuhnya

dan Yesus mengajak para pengikutnya

untuk percaya pada hidup yang

berkelimpahan dari Allah seperti dia

Itulah sebabnya ia mengatakan hal-hal

seperti jual lah segala milikmu dan

berikanlah kepada orang-orang miskin

atau Janganlah kuatir akan hidupmu ia

mengajak kita untuk hidup dalam kisah

yang berbeda yang dibangun atas dasar

keyakinan akan kebaikan dan kasih Allah

namun hidup dengan kemurahan tidak

selalu berarti hidup akan berjalan

dengan baik coba lihat Yesus ia

dikhianati oleh teman-temannya dan jatuh

dalam penderitaan namun hal ini tidak

mengherankan bagi Yesus ia tahu

orang-orang akan memanfaatkan kemurahan

hatinya bahkan ini adalah bagian dari

rencananya sungguh ya Coba kita pikir

Yesus tahu kita semua benar-benar

tertipu Oleh dusta yang membuat kita

merasa tidak pernah cukup ya dusta itu

perlu dipatahkan Nah itulah yang Yesus

lakukan ketika ia mengaruniakan hidupnya

kepada kita kematian Yesus menjadi

pernyataan tertinggi dari kasih Allah

yang penuh dengan kemurahan ya kasih

Allah dapat mengubah kematian menjadi

kehidupan dan kekurangan menjadi

kelimpahan atau seperti kata Rasul

Paulus kamu telah mengenal kasih karunia

Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus bahwa ia yang

oleh karena kamu menjadi miskin

sekalipun ia kaya supaya kamu menjadi

kaya oleh karena kemiskinannya dan Yesus

memanggil para pengikutnya untuk hidup

bagaikan dalam pesta yang Sesungguhnya

telah dimulai ya Ia menyebutnya sebagai

kerajaan Allah dan ketika Kita diundang

ke dalam pesta ini kita menerima karunia

lainnya berupa kehadiran Roh Kudus

secara pribadi yang dapat mengajar kita

agar bisa mempercayai kemurahan hati

Sang tuan rumah seperti yesus ya Dan

ketika kita percaya bahwa kita hidup

berkecukupan maka kita akan mulai

melihat banyak kesempatan untuk bermurah

hati dengan waktu uang dan kepedulian

kita ya Salah satu cara yang paling

penting agar kita dapat mengalami hidup

yang berkelimpahan sebagai ciptaan Allah

yang baru adalah dengan berbagi dengan

orang lain karena kita percaya bahwa

Allah adalah tuan rumah yang murah hati
