Abstract

This research intends to reveal the concept of messianic hope contained in the book of Esther. The approach is taken to explain this is the search for theological meaning, the use of acrostic hermeneutics, and the use of narrative content. The results of the three approaches show that the Book of Esther is not just a historical romance but a way of working God in human life to save, and His intervention in shaping the history of His people. This book strongly echoes the messianic hope through the rescue and preservation of the Jewish people in the territory of the Persian empire. The plot is the same as God's great plan to send Jesus into the world to save people from the eternal punishment of sin.

Abstract

Succession in an organization cannot be separated from certain requirements of a successor that is expected to be in line with the organization's vision, mission, and values. Therefore, Gereja Suara Kebenaran Injil (GSKI) as an organization must have a description of the successor's accommodative requirements in realizing the interests of the organization in the future. This paper aims to describe the successor requirements that are accommodating to the needs of the GSKI organization in the future based on field findings and a biblical study of Joshua as a successful successor model. The requirements found were proposed as a constructive recommendation for the standard and accommodating successor requirements within the GSKI body. This research uses a qualitative method with a grounded theory approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews with stakeholders and literature studies. Data were analyzed by synthesizing the findings in the literature study and interviews. The synthesis between interview findings and literature study produced a conceptual framework regarding accommodative successor requirements. The analysis shows that the requirements of accommodative GSKI successors are those who have a healthy and consistent spirituality, educated teachers, pastors who are skilled in pastoral care, accomplished organizers and person who has the vision to improve organizational quality collectively. This research concludes that the requirements of the GSKI successors in the future are deeply intersected with the quality of the present GSKI leader. Achieving this is greatly influenced by an effective mentoring and empowerment process.

Abstract

According to Barna's research, 51% of the church did not understand the Great Commission. Though the church is called to carry out its witnessing duties in this world. The church serves God's people and builds communities that witness and feel the presence of Christ. In order to understand this calling, it is necessary to study the role of Israelites which also had the mission aspect in the Old Testament. The election of Israel as the people of God means that they also have a mission, as an agent of God’s mission to the world. This concept can be seen within the history of the life of Adam until the people of Israel, where God had given the mandate to become a blessing for the world. This research then will elaborate the calling and mission concept within the Old Testament, especially the chosen characters in it. In that context, every character in the Old Testament had their own calling to do God’s mission as their life goal. They all have the same characteristic that is their life goal is to bring other or people to enjoy the blessing of God as God’s people. In that way, the people of God will live in his holiness.

Abstract

The issues of intolerance and radicalism have penetrated the dimensions of education in Indonesia. The bad behavior of students that leads to intolerance and radicalism has disturbed the life of the nation. The government is addressing these problems by launching a character education program and a mental revolution movement. These programs and movements have not had a maximum impact so they need to involve the world of education. This research needs to be done to identify students' understanding of the importance of PAK learning in the context of building a national character; find students' understanding in addressing the dangers of radicalism and intolerance; and, providing alternative solutions to form a nationalistic character in preventing intolerance and radicalism. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach using various data obtained through interviews and questionnaires as primary and secondary data through books, journals, magazines, newspapers and other relevant sources. After an unstructured interview, counseling was carried out for enrichment and further distribution of questionnaires to students. The research was conducted at the Asih Lestari Jakarta Orphanage on the residents of the orphanage called students of various levels and ages. The results of the questionnaire data collection show that: first, students understand with confidence that PAK learning is very supportive of building national-minded character; second, students are able to express attitudes towards the dangers of intolerance and radicalism; third, the formation of a national-minded character as an effort to support the mental revolution movement and alternative solutions to prevent intolerance and radicalism. Thus, all Christian Education is expected to be able to develop PAK learning as a means of building nationalistic character so that students have a nationalistic attitude to prevent the dangers of intolerance and radicalism.

Abstract

The pastor of the church plays an important role in advancing the church and pastoral congregation. The orientation of the implementation of the task is not just to carry out the routine tasks of grazing, but to bring the church to realize God's purpose. In this assignment, a good pastor's performance is needed. The shepherd's self-concept related to God's calling in him influences his behavior in carrying out the ministry. This study aims to examine the effect of self-concept regarding God's calling on the performance of pastors. This research method is a correlational survey with research respondents from pastors in one of the Synods in Jakarta. The results showed that there was no influence of self-concept regarding God's calling on the performance of the pastor. Efforts made to improve positive self-concepts do not have an impact on improving the performance of pastors. The performance of pastors tends to be influenced by their abilities related to their ministry and the ministry team that supports them.

Abstract

The frequent claims made by followers of Jesus regarding His finality as the only Savior continue to be challenged by groups who speculate against such claims as do liberals and conservatives who build on subjective understanding. This has an impact on efforts to account for faith which have increasingly experienced distortion of the religiosity of faith in the past to the present. This article aims to present the finality of Jesus, as He spoke of both to groups who reject it as well as to His followers in an effort to enrich the teachings of modern Christology. The author uses qualitative methods with an exegetical approach with data collection techniques, namely reviewing the literature in order to understand the meaning of "actually I am the door to the sheep" according to the Gospel of John 10: 7. Thus, it can be concluded that Jesus openly conveyed to His listeners in order to acknowledge His finality as the only "Way of Entry" through "The Door" which is also "the Good Shepherd" and there is no other means besides. Himself. And christological understanding cannot be made based on the assumption of human subjectivity but based on the statement of Jesus himself as narrated "in fact I am the Door to the sheep".
