Lukas 2:8-20
Ini menceritakan bagaimana sikap kita untuk menyambut kelahiran / kedatangan Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus kepada dunia ini . Gembala yang menggembalakan biri di padang gurun dikejutkan dengan kedatangan malaikat Tuhan yang membawa berita tentang kelahiran Tuhan Yesus , Alkitab mengatakan bahwa : " mereka takut " . Sikap wajar ditunjukkan oleh para gembala .
Dalam bagian ini , tetapi Tuhan ingin memberitakan tentang berita sukacita , Allahpun ingin mengajarkan bagaimana para gembala , dan kita berperilaku kelahiran / kedatangan Tuhan Yesus ke dunia ini . Hal ini juga Allah memberikan hal-hal blessings.Some nya yang terungkap dari ayat ini dalam kelahiran / kedatangan -Nya , antara lain :
1 . Memuliakan Allah (ayat 14a ) idiom asli kemuliaan " doxa " , kata ini menggambarkan kemuliaan Allah yang tahu secara pribadi , sifat dan pekerjaan Allah . Memuji dan memuliakan Tuhan tidak menunggu yang telah menerima pekerjaan Tuhan , tapi tahu secara pribadi dan mengetahui sifat-Nya sudah cukup untuk dapat memuji dan memuliakan Tuhan .
Dari peristiwa ini kita bisa belajar , bahwa orang-orang yang menghormati Tuhan akan memuji dan memuliakan Tuhan , tidak melihat bagaimana situasi dan kondisi ( Lukas 2:20; 24:53 , 7:16; 13:13; Mazmur 50:23 ; 1 Petrus 4:16)
2 . Menerima Perdamaian ( ayat 14b ) Damai sejahtera di sini menggunakan kata " " eirene "memiliki arti : suatu kondisi yang bebas dari rasa takut dan memiliki ketenangan pikiran .Dan damai di bumi , hanya bisa dialami dan dinikmati oleh orang-orang yang benar-benar hidup di dalam Dia . Kita hidup dalam damai karena , Allah telah mengungkapkan dan disempurnakan ketenangan-Nya kepada kita dalam Yesus Christ.Some hal penting kita dapat mengetahui hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan Allah yang menyatakan " Damai -Nya " adalah untuk kita , yaitu :
a . Di tanah ( Imamat 26:6 )
b . Bagi mereka yang mengenal Allah ( 2 Petrus 1:2)
c . Bagi mereka yang hatinya teguh ( Yesaya 26:3 ; Filipi 4:9)
d . Bagi mereka yang berbuat baik (Roma 2:10)
e . Bagi mereka yang hidup benar ( Yesaya 32:17 ; Roma 5:1 )
f . Untuk utusan Kristus ( Yohanes 20:21 , 1 Petrus 1:2)
g . Bagi mereka yang dipenuhkan Roh Kudus ( Efesus 4:3 )
Refleksi : Yesus datang ke bumi sebagai Raja Damai , dan kedamaian dalam kehidupan Kristus hanya bisa dinikmati oleh orang-orang yang beriman , tidak semua manusia di muka bumi ini . Dan perdamaian yang kita nikmati , bukan karena ada masalah , masalah , dan kesulitan hidup , tapi perdamaian yang kita nikmati , karena Allah telah memberikan dan menjamin dalam dan melalui Kristus .( 2 Tesalonika 3:16 , Yohanes 14:27)
Kejadian 22:2
Dapat dimengerti betapa terkejutnya ketika Tuhan meminta Abraham untuk mempersembahkan Ishak , dan keturunan hanya satu , sebagai korban . Perasaan campur aduk seperti rasa takut , cemas , khawatir , marah, kecewa dan lain-lain , harus mengisi hati Abraham .
Tapi kita tidak melihat Abraham menunjukkan hal itu . Sebuah karakter yang baik telah dibentuk dalam dirinya . Dan ditunjukkan melalui sikap dan tindakan . * Courtesy of PelitaHidup.comMany hal-hal yang kita alami dalam hidup kita adalah sebuah proses yang Tuhan ijinkan terjadi untuk setiap janji-janji Allah dapat dipenuhi dalam hidup kita .
Mari kita belajar dari beberapa Abraham poin penting yang dia lakukan sehingga dia berani mengorbankan Ishak , yang pada saat itu harta yang paling berharga bagi dirinya sendiri :
1 . Taat ( Kejadian 22:3)
dari PelitaHidup.comObedience sangat penting kita lakukan . Banyak hal yang Tuhan ingin kita untuk membiarkan pergi karena hal ini dapat mengubah pandangan kita kepada Allah .Semua kenikmatan , kesenangan , hobi , pekerjaan , dan apa pun yang kita anggap berharga , bukan hal utama dalam kehidupan kita . Tuhan tidak melarang kita untuk dapat menikmati semuanya . Tapi Tuhan ingin kita rela mengorbankan apa yang kita anggap berharga , dan mengarahkan pandangan kita kepada Allah .
2 . Iman ( Kejadian 22:05 )Di sini kita melihat bahwa iman Abraham mengandalkan percaya pada Tuhan . Apa Allah berjanji bahwa melalui Ishak memiliki keturunannya akan menjadi banyak di muka bumi ini , masih memegang . Dan Abraham tahu bahwa Allah telah berfirman , Dia mampu melaksanakannya dan pasti akan terpenuhi .Berapa banyak janji Tuhan yang telah kita terima selama kita mengenal Kristus dalam hidup kita ? Berapa banyak dari kita masih memiliki iman bahwa Tuhan akan memenuhi dalam kehidupan kita ? Tidak peduli bagaimana masalah berat yang kita hadapi , Tuhan tetap memegang kendali atas hidup kita .Kita bisa melihat lebih banyak dan Abraham pergi ke tempat pengorbanan , maka sudah saatnya untuk membunuh anaknya semakin dekat . Secara fisik - bahkan Abraham tidak melihat jalan keluar baginya . Tapi dia masih memiliki iman bahwa Allah akan membantunya .
3 . Percaya Benar ( Kejadian 22:08 )Hal ini dapat membuat iman kita menjadi goyah . Banyak orang yang tidak tahan pada titik ini menjadi marah dan kesal dengan Allah dan orang-orang di sekelilingnya . Teman, keluarga , istri dan anak-anak bukan penyebab dari masalah - dapat menjadi sasaran kemarahan kita .Mari kita belajar dari Abraham yang masih sangat percaya pada Tuhan dan tidak goyah dalam imannya . Abraham tetap tenang dan percaya diri . Abraham tidak menjadi marah pada kondisi yang ia alami . Abrahampun kecewa tidak kepada Allah , karena dia akan kehilangan hal yang paling berharga .
Tuhan ingin kita rela berani melepaskan apa yang kita anggap paling berharga dalam hidup kita . Mungkin kita berpikir apa yang akan terjadi jika tidak ada jalan keluar ? Apa yang akan dikatakan oleh orang lain terhadap kita ? Apa yang akan terjadi pada kita ? Apa yang akan terjadi pada pekerjaan bisnis / kami ? Apa yang akan terjadi kepada keluarga , istri dan anak-anak kita ?
Allah tetap memegang kendali atas semua aspek kehidupan kita . Jangan takut dan jangan khawatir , karena Allah sedang memproses hidup kita sehingga kita dapat memiliki karakter seperti Kristus .Tenang hati kita untuk dibentuk oleh Allah . Berani mengorbankan apa yang Tuhan minta dari kehidupan kita . Kita bahkan tidak akan kehilangan sedikit di hadapan Allah . Kita melihat bagaimana memberkati Abraham setelah ia rela dan berani menawarkan harta yang paling berharga .Kejadian 22:16-18
Luke 22:31-38
Satan demanded that Peter and other disciples like wheat ditampi (verse 31). Ditampi means separated. Satan felt when Peter fails, then other students will also follow in the footsteps of Peter. Such a situation is fully recognized by Jesus. How did Jesus respond? Jesus prayed. In his prayer Jesus did not pray that Peter did not fail, but Jesus just pray that such failure did not change his faith.That's why Jesus in his last supper member of two important messages to his disciples:
1. Addressed to Peter, without ignoring the other disciples. The word 'you' in verse 31 is written in the plural, so it does not refer only to Peter but to the other disciples. That is, Peter will receive a very valuable lesson from its failure, that Peter was enabled to understand the meaning of recovery. This is a lesson that would enable Peter to strengthen the other disciples (verse 32). Jesus' statement about Peter reveals two important truths.
(a). God allowed Satan to tempt us only to certain limits and with the permission of God (cf. Job 1:10,12). The devil is not free to do whatever he wants with the people of God.
(b). Jesus prayed that His people of faith will not fail. As our heavenly Mediator, He prayed for all those who "come unto God by Him. Because He lives always to be a mediator of them" (Heb. 7:25). God is faithful in all our trials to provide a way out (1 Cor 10:13 *). However, the realization of Jesus' prayers were conditional. If someone rejects God's grace, the intercession of Christ ultimately in vain (Luke 19:41)
2. Awarded to the other disciples including Peter (verse 35). Jesus warned them to prepare themselves physically and spiritually.
(a). Physical preparation is denoted by the term coffers (Luk.10: 4; 12:33; bd. Hag. 1:6).
(b). Spiritual preparation is symbolized by the term sword. But they understand it literally (ayat. 36,38,49; bd. Matt. 26:52). It is clear that understanding is not meant literally. Jesus affirms the language of metaphor need for spiritual preparation. They need spiritual sword. Spiritual sword is more important than physical preparation (Ef.6: 17; Heb 4:12; Rev. 2:16; 19:15).
Meditation: When we fail, we will understand the meaning of success. Understand that failure by its own strength makes us understand about the meaning of prayer depends on God.

John 16:13-18
The work of the Holy Spirit that convicts not only addressed to the unsaved (John 16:7-8), but also works in the believer and the church to teach, correct errors and lead them to the truth (Matt. 18:15; 1 Timothy 5:20 ; Revelation 3:19).
The Holy Spirit will convince people to believe about sin, about the truth of Christ and of the judgments, so that:
1. Becoming like Christ and live according to the Word of God (cf. 2 Cor 3:18)
2. In Leads into all truth (John 16:18; Ps 25:5; bd. Rom 10:3)
3. Glorify Christ (John 16:14; 2 Corinthians 1:20).
Thus, the Holy Spirit works in believers to produce a holy life of Christ in their lives.
If believers are filled with the Holy Spirit and reject the leadership of his watch at work and if they do not "by the Holy Spirit to death the deeds of the flesh" (Rom 8:13), then they will be sentenced. Only those who accept the truth and "led by the Spirit of God" are "children of God" (Rom 8:14) and thus able to live on in the fullness of the Spirit (Eph 5:18). Sin destroys life and fullness of the Holy Spirit within the believer (Rom 6:23; 8:13; Gal 5:17; bd. Eph 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:19).
Ephesians 5:1-21
As children of light, God's people living with imitation of Jesus (verse 1). Just like Jesus who follow God as well as his people. Paul also encourages believers to imitate Christ (verse 2). Living in love is real evidence to imitate Christ. In particular, the children of light should stay away from immorality.
Not only immorality is discarded, but also vulgar and dirty words (verse 4). Why? There are four reasons.
1. People who are immoral and vulgar will be punished. Immediately repent to receive forgiveness.
2. In connection with nature as children of light (verses 8-14). Children do not deserve the light of prevailing immoral and vulgar (verse 11). Steer clear of evil does not mean throwing people do it. If the believer away from the wicked, how he could believe in Jesus and updated? If no one loves a immoral and vulgar, who will expose these deeds? Deeds and those who do are two different things. His deeds should be exposed so that people repent and come to Jesus to receive forgiveness.
3. The children of light have the wisdom to live as children of light (verses 15-17). Being the wise man is put in God's will in your entire life (verse 17). Immorality and vulgarity rather than the will of God.
4. Associated with the Holy Spirit (verses 18-21). The children of light must be met RohKudus. This resulted in the birth of a partnership in which the dominant compliment. Filled with the Spirit means filled with thanksgiving.
Meditation: The nature determines the function. That is, the army life as a soldier, athlete lives as athletes, and doctors living as a doctor. Seem strange if the artist's life as a soldier. Is not true when children are the light of life as children of darkness.

Isaiah 40:1-11
Article 40 is an early passage of the second part of Isaiah. When the first part of Isaiah confirms punishment to be meted out to Judah, then in the second part of this, the authors focus on the recovery plan directed his people.
This passage consists of four series of calls:
1. The call for God's comfort that the punishment is over (v. 1-2). God has forgiven and now ready to recover.
2. The appeal calls to prepare the way for the repatriation of people from landfills. The picture is a victory procession from God and His people which culminated in the declaration of God's glory is witnessed by all mankind (verses 3-5). This picture was fulfilled by the ministry of John the Baptist who prepared the Jews for the coming of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
3. Call for the realization of human mortality and the immortality of the word of God (verses 6-8). The core of this appeal to remind people of the Lord that forgiveness and restoration occurs solely because of the grace of God according to His Word promises, not because of their goodness.
4. Appeals exaltation of God as a Shepherd of His people (verses 9-11). Zion is called to witness the power and love of God who restored God's people. The power of God shown to liberate his people from Babylonian captivity. His love is portrayed as a shepherd cares for his people.
A sin that we do definitely rewarded punishment from God. However, after the sentence was over God will forgive and ready to restore us. Recovery was a gift of God because His Word promises. Therefore, we must raise the already restored thanks as well to gaze upon His love to everyone.
Meditation: Make recovery that God gives to us is as a first step we are, to be a blessing for others.

Ezekiel 10: 18-22
Departing from what is experienced by the people of Israel who have a belief that the presence of the Ark of the Covenant is very important in their struggle to confront the Philistines, the Ark of the Covenant has 2 Since the meaning for the people of Israel, which is a blessing and a curse, so anything with God's Church today is faced between 2 options:
1. Curses (1 Samuel 5:6-12), when the Ark of the Covenant in which the Philistines seized an enemy of Israel.Eli died of shock and orphaned grandson who symbolically named Ichabod, which means 'has vanished glory of Israel' (1Sam. 4:21, 22).
2. Thanks to (2 Samuel 6:11-14), when the Ark of the Covenant was in the house of Obed Edom Gadites who
But the vision that Ezekiel received marks that period was over, because the glory of God will leave the Temple. But it does not mark the vision that God will disappear because the same glory once seen by Ezekiel by the river Chebar, where most of the nation of Judah underwent removal as a form of obedience to the will of God.
What can we learn from Ezekiel's vision this time?
1. Guarantee the presence of the glory of God among His people is not determined by the presence or absence of buildings of worship, but is determined by the presence or absence of building loyalty and obedience to God's people to His word. (Rom 6:16; Mikh 6:8; Hosea 11:4)
2. The presence of the glory of God is not always synonymous with human welfare physically. This can be proved where the glory of His presence in the middle of the nation of Judah that are in the humiliation and suffering on the banks of the river Chebar.(Luke 15:11-13; Matthew 19:16-22)
3. Based on the first truth, when the glory of God is not present then that is present in the midst of His people must have the wrath of God (verses 2, 7). God's people do not have a neutral option, but experience the presence of God's glory or suffer the wrath of God's presence. (Philippians 1:9-11; cf. Gen. 13: 8-13)
Meditation: The above truths expressly stated to us that the main priority in the Development of the church God is building His church life of the faithful and obedient to God in all areas of life to the glory of God is always present in the church of God and radiated to the community through the church's existence Him in the midst of society.
