MERY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU
Benarkah 25 Desember hari kelahiran Tuhan Yesus
Banyak pertanyaan tentang tanggal 25 Desember. Pertanyaan yang banyak diajukan orang
adalah apa benar tanggal 25 Desember adalah hari kelahiran Tuhan Yesus? Jika tidak
maka kapan hari kelahiran Tuhan Yesus dan mengapa diputuskan tanggal 25 Desember?
Jawabannya adalah saya sendiri tidak tau secara jelas kapan kelahiran Tuhan Yesus, yang tau
jawabannya hanya Tuhan Yesus sendiri dan orang zaman dahulu
kalaupun ada yang sampai "membedah" kitab suci untuk mencari kapan kelahiran Tuhan
Yesus, maaf, saya kira orang tersebut "kurang kerjaan" atau hanya mencari sensasi.
Untuk apa mencari kapan tepatnya hari lahirnya Tuhan Yesus? Apakah dengan alasan untuk mengkoreksi hari natal?
Jika jawabannya adalah ya maka saya hanya bisa mengelus dada.
Mengapa?
Memang kelahiran Sang Juru Selamat tidak tepat jatuh pada tanggal 25 Desember, tapi
apa salahnya jika kita tetapkan tanggal 25 Desember sebagai hari kelahirannya?
Ibarat nenek kita yang lahir pada zaman Jepang dan tidak tahu kapan tanggal lahirnya.
Apakah dia akan marah jika kita tetapkan tanggal lahirnya agar kita bisa merayakan kelahirannya?
YANG PENTING MAKNANYA BUKAN KAPAN TEPATNYA.
Mari kita rayakan Natal dengan hati yang bersyukur.
Damai Tuhan selalu beserta kita.
Amin.
Ketika hidup tak lagi menjanjikan
Ketika rasa kuatir selalu melanda
Sudah saatnya bagi kita
Untuk sadar bahwa semua yang ada pada kita harus kita serahkan pada Tuhan
Sebab Tuhan tau yang terbaik bagi kita
Dan dengan demikian niscaya kita akan lebih tenang menjalani hidup
Percayalah..
According to wikipedia, the priest (Devanagari पण्डित, Pandit) is the term for religious leaders. The word priest comes from the word Pandita (Sanskrit), which means that Brahmins or Hindu religious teacher or Buddha.
In Indonesia, the current pastor term specifically used for the name of religious leaders-Protestant Christianity, Hinduism or Buddhism. In general, the term is sometimes also used to Confucianism.
That is a priest according to the wikipedia definition, in my opinion, the priest just like us all, he is also human beings can make mistakes, something that is impossible if people do not make a mistake once, only the priest may be able to help us to better know God.
But there are some things that I thought was funny, when the pastor is doing a mistake in life and the mistakes that other people know it can definitely be very few people who want to hear the pastor's sermon. Very funny to me because as I said before, the priest who is also a human being can make a mistake, if he made a mistake, we as human beings should be reminded him, not stay away from the minister, no longer respect or make it as gossip.
Gbu
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be your name
Come kingdom
Be what you want
On earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we also forgive those who trespass against us
Don't let us enter into temptation
But drive evil from us
Because you are the owner of the kingdom and the power and glory forever and ever.
Amen
Bapa kami yang ada di surga
Dikuduskanlah namamu
Datanglah kerajaanmu
Jadilah kehendakmu
Di bumi seperti di surga
Berilah kami pada hari ini makanan kami yang secukupnya
Dan ampunilah kami akan kesalahan kami
Seperti kami juga mengampuni yang bersalah kepada kami
Janganlah masukkan kami ke dalam pencobaan
Tetapi bebaskanlah kami dari yang jahat
Karna engkaulah yang empunya kerajaan dan kuasa dan kemuliaan sampai selama-lamanya.
Amin
The promise can be interpreted as something that should be implemented.
May be equated with an oath.
Promises are easily spoken, but very difficult to do.
Implementation is also promise to be faithful to one's benchmark or not.
Promise ..
So is promise important to do?
The answer is Yes.
Many people simply give a promise to God or neighbor.
But he is also easily forgotten that promise.
Yes, people do tend to like that.
But this should not be left like that, there must be a willingness to change.
Learn to keep a promise to anyone, especially to God.
If we give it the promise of God's promises must be kept.
Learn from God because God is always kept his promise.
Pentingkah Janji Itu?
Janji dapat diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang harus dilaksanakan.
Mungkin dapat disamakan dengan sumpah.
Janji dapat dengan mudah diucapkan tetapi sangat sulit untuk dilakukan.
Pelaksanaan janji juga dapat menjadi tolak ukur seseorang setia atau tidak.
Janji..
Sebegitu pentingkah janji ditepati?
Jawabannya adalah Ya.
Banyak orang dengan mudah mengucap janji pada Tuhan atau sesama.
Tetapi dengan mudah pula ia melupakan janjinya itu.
Ya, manusia memang cenderung seperti itu.
Tapi hal tersebut tidak boleh dibiarkan begitu saja, harus ada kemauan untuk merubahnya.
Belajarlah untuk menepati janji pada siapapun terutama pada Tuhan.
Jika kita mengucap janji pada Tuhan maka janji itu harus ditepati.
Belajarlah dari Tuhan sebab Tuhan selalu menepati janjinya.
Menurut wikipedia, Pendeta (Dewanagari: पण्डित, paṇḍit) adalah sebutan bagi pemimpin agama. Kata pendeta berasal dari kata Pandita (bahasa Sansekerta), yang berarti brahmana atau guru agama Hindu atau Buddha.
Di Indonesia, saat ini istilah pendeta secara khusus digunakan untuk sebutan pemimpin agama-agama Kristen Protestan, Hindu atau Buddha. Secara umum, istilah ini terkadang juga dapat digunakan untuk Konghucu.
Itu merupakan definisi pendeta menurut wikipedia, menurut saya, pendeta sama saja seperti kita semua, ia juga manusia biasa yang dapat berbuat salah, suatu hal yang mustahil jika manusia tidak berbuat kesalahan sekali pun, hanya mungkin pendeta dapat membantu kita untuk lebih mengenal Tuhan.
Tetapi ada suatu hal yang menurut saya lucu, yaitu saat pendeta tersebut berbuat suatu kesalahn dalam hidup sehar-hari dan kesalahan itu diketahui orang lain maka dapat dipastikan akan jarang orang yang mau mendengar khotbah pendeta itu. Sangat lucu menurut saya karena seperti yang saya katakan sebelumnya, pendeta itu juga manusia biasa yang dapat berbuat keslahan, jika ia berbuat kesalahan, kita sebagai sesama manusia harus mengingatkannya bukan menjauhi pendeta itu,tidak lagi respect atau menjadikannya sebagai bahan gosip.
Damai Beserta kita semua.
Lihat Dirimu Sendiri!
Kritik adalah sesuatu yang wajar di dunia yang demokratis ini.
Dengan mengkritik, orang memberikan dorongan untuk berbuat lebih baik lagi.
Kritik juga mengandung tuntutan agar apa yang disampaikan pengkritik itu dilaksanakan.
Saya juga termasuk orang yang suka memberi kritik yang membangun.
Tapi jika orang terus menerus mengkritik segala sesuatu yang menurutnya tidak pas di hati, apakah itu baik?
Sepertinya hal tersebut bukanlah sesuatu yang baik karena segala sesuatu tidak dapat sesuai dengan apa yang kita mau.
Kritik dapat membangun bila disampaikan secara wajar tapi jika disampaikn secara berlebihan maka hal tersebut akan berdampak buruk.
Coba lihatlah diri sendiri sebelum mengkritik seseorang, bisa jadi kita tidak lebih baik darinya.
Lihatlah dirimu sendiri sebelum mengkritik orang lain.
Jesus or Santa Claus
Christmas day soon arrived.
Although we do not know exactly when the birth of Jesus Christ the savior but at least December 25 remind us of the birth of Christ.
But do we still remember the birth of Christ?
Or will we only remember Santa Claus?
Most of us are busy preparing a gift for gift exchange or prepare food for the party.
Rare or no one remembers the purpose of this Christmas day.
They are too busy to party and wait for the arrival of Santa Claus.
People think only Santa Claus.
Is there Jesus Christ in our mind?
At the time of preparing the party, for whom the party was being held?
DO we remember to invite Jesus Christ to come to the party?
Or we forget to invite Christ to come to the party to remember his birth?
Immediately apologized to him.
Remember that Christmas day to commemorate the birth of Christ rather than waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus.
Kristus atau Santa Claus?
Hari natal sebentar lagi tiba.
Meskipun kita tidak tahu kapan tepatnya hati kelahiran Kristus sang juru selamat tetapi setidaknya 25 Desember dapat mengingatkan kita akan kelahiran Kristus.
Tetapi apakah kita masih mengingat akan kelahiran Kristus?
Atau kita hanya mengingat akan kedatangan Santa Claus?
Kebanyakan dari kita sibuk menyiapkan kado untuk tukar kado atau menyiapkan makanan untuk pesta.
Jarang atau malah tidak ada yang ingat tentang tujuan hari Natal ini.
Mereka terlalu sibuk untuk berpesta dan menunggu kedatangan Santa Claus.
Yang dipikirkan orang hanya Santa Claus.
Tidak adakah Kristus dipikiran kita?
Pada saat mempersiapkan pesta, untuk siapakah pesta itu diadakan?
Ingatkah kita mengundang Kristus untuk hadir dalam pesta tersebut?
Atau malah kita lupa untuk mengundang Kristus untuk datang pada pesta mengenang kelahirannya?
Segeralah minta maaf kepada-Nya.
Ingatlah bahwa hari Natal untuk mengenang kelahiran kristus bukan menunggu kedatangan Santa Claus.
I'm trying to survive from all this pain
This burden feels very heavy
heavy
I should probably give up
surrender of my mind during this
surrender to the world
heavy burden
heavy
I was unable to lift
everything I do as if there was no means
everyone throw me a knife
oh .. I am no longer able to
I feel like giving up
but in this silence I heard a voice
a very soft voice, soothing
the voice said "come unto me all that burdened, and I'll carry it with you"
I asked "who was that?"
but then I realized that I had forgotten something
I forgot that there is always someone to help me, He will carry this burden with me
He is already feel many extreme pain because of my sin
He is God
and now I am determined not to give up to the world because there is someone is waiting for me and want to give me some help.
When the problem came again
When as if the world would end
When you feel no longer have hope
When all the people around you go away from you
When things are not as expected
When air is inhaled as if to make tight
and a new happiness you feel a sudden turned into mourning
Never Surrender
Remember! There are more than you used to feel
even
He felt pain very much despite the fact that he does not deserve to suffer.
He is the Lord Jesus
Come to Him, ask Him for help
Ask God to give you the strength to face problems
Believe in Him
Kekuatan dari-Nya
Aku mencoba bertahan dari semua derita ini
beban ini terasa sangat berat
sangat berat
mungkin sebaiknya aku menyerah
menyerah dari pendirianku selama ini
menyerah kepada dunia
beban ini terasa berat
sangat berat
tak sanggup aku tuk mengangkatnya
semua yang aku lakukan seolah-olah tak ada artinya
semuanya berbalik menghujamku dengan pisau
oh.. aku tak sanggup lagi
ingin rasanya aku menyerah
tapi di kesunyian ini aku mendengar suara
suara yang sangat lembut, terasa menyejukkan
suara itu berkata "datanglah kepada-Ku semua yang berbeban berat, Aku akan memikulnya bersamamu"
aku bertanya "siapakah itu?"
tapi kemudian aku sadar bahwa aku telah melupakan sesuatu
aku lupa bahwa ada yang selalu setia menolongku, Ia mau memikul beban ini bersamaku
Ia yang sudah merasakan penderitaan yang amat sangat karna dosaku
Ia adalah Tuhan
dan sekarang aku bertekad tak menyerah pada dunia karna ada yang setia menantiku dan menolongku

Lord Jesus came into the world not just atone for mankind but also taught a new doctrine is the doctrine of love.
Jesus recognized in Christianity as God.
The teachings of Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus about love (Matthew 5: 38-48) where you had already manifested in Jesus Christ who are willing to sacrifice his life to redeem human sin, it was all done not to obtain property or credit, but simply because he loves all people.
Here are some examples of application of the teachings of Jesus about God's love which has given an example when it comes down to the world:
- Jesus was a figure who never return evil for evil, as we know that Jesus is always under pressure and threats that come from the chief priests, but he never returned, he was also always taught us not to return evil for evil (Matthew 5: 38-44).
- Jesus not only taught us love, but he also proved his way of life, as a very interesting example for us was when Jesus was crucified, the man Jesus could feel the pain. Imagine the pain Jesus felt when he nailed his hands and feet. But in circumstances, he still shows his love by praying for those who persecute him (Luke 23: 34).
- Jesus never give up in his life. Although Jesus was in trouble, he never complaining or blaming anyone for his problems. (Matthew 26:36-46)
- Jesus never give up or take a shortcut when he faced a problem but he handed it all to God. (Matthew 26:36-46)
Therefore we rightly do love it in this world because God has given us an example.
"There is no greater love than the love of a man who gave his life for his friends ..."
On one afternoon, a mortar shell landed in an orphanage in a small village in Vietnam. An orphanage worker and two children were killed instantly, some other children were injured, including a little girl about 8 years old.
The people of the village immediately requested medical assistance from the nearest town. Finally, a U.S. Navy doctor and a nurse from France who happened to be in the city was willing to help. With a Jeep containing drugs and medical equipment they left for the orphanage.
Having seen the little girl's condition, doctors concluded that the child was in very critical condition. Without quick action, the child will soon die from blood loss. Blood transfusion is the best way to get out of this critical period.
Doctors and nurses are immediately held a brief test to the people at the orphanage - including children, to find a suitable blood type with the little girl. Of the test found some children who have blood match with the little girl.
The doctor, who is not so well berberbahasa Vietnam - tried hard to explain to these children - that the little girl could only be helped by using the blood of one's children. Then, with a variety of sign language, the medical team asked whether any of the kids who are willing to donate blood for the little girl who was seriously injured.
The request was met with silent. After a while, a boy raised his hand slowly, but in doubt he lowered his hand again, although a moment later he raised his hand again.
"Oh, thank you," the nurse said in broken. "What's your name?"
"Heng," replied the boy.
Heng then placed into a stretcher, his arm rubbed with alcohol, and then a needle is inserted into his veins. During this process, Heng lay still, not moving at all.
However, a few moments later she sobbed, and quickly covered her face with his free hand.
"Are you in pain, Heng?" Asked the doctor. Heng shook his head, but was soon Heng cried again, louder this time. Once again the doctor asked, if the needle is stabbed him sick, and Heng shook his head again.
But the crying did not stop, even more heartbreaking. Heng eyes closed tightly, while trying his hand over her mouth to stop sobbing.
Medical team became concerned, there must be something wrong. Fortunately, a nurse came to Vietnam soon. Seeing the little boy who seemed depressed - he spoke rapidly in Vietnam. Vietnam nurse was listening to the child's answer with interest, and then the nurse was explaining something to Heng with a comforting tone.
The boy began to stop crying - and looked soft Vietnam nurse's eyes for a moment. When the nurse nodded Vietnam - was light shining on the face Heng relief.
As he looked up, the nurse said quietly to the American doctor, "He thought that he would die. He was a misunderstanding. He thinks you are asked to provide blood to all the little girl was still alive. "
"But why did he still want to do?" Said the French nurse in surprise.
Vietnam nurse it back to Heng asked .. and Heng replied briefly:
"He was my best friend .."
