Abstract

The concept of the Kingdom of God is one of the central themes in Jesus’ teaching, carrying theological significance and practical implications for human life. The Gospel of Luke specifically presents the Kingdom of God not only as an eschatological reality related to the future, but also as a present reality through Jesus’ ministry, which brings liberation, restoration, and hope to humanity especially to the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized. This study aims to analyze the meaning of the Kingdom of God as a social ethic in Jesus’ teachings according to the Gospel of Luke. The research method used is library research with a biblical theology approach, specifically by examining biblical texts in the Gospel of Luke as well as various relevant New Testament theological literature. The results of the study show that the Kingdom of God in the Gospel of Luke has a strong social ethical dimension reflected in the values of love, justice, concern for the poor, and solidarity with others. Jesus’ teachings emphasize that life in the Kingdom of God demands a transformation of human attitudes and actions in social relationships. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is understood not only as a theological concept, but also as the foundation of social ethics that encourages believers to embody the values of love and justice in their daily lives.

Abstract

Pandemi Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) yang melanda dunia pada tahun 2020–2021 telah memberikan dampak yang sangat luas di berbagai aspek kehidupan, mulai dari kesehatan, ekonomi, politik, sosial-budaya, hingga pendidikan. Tidak hanya menimbulkan kerugian fisik dan material, pandemi ini juga menyisakan dampak psikologis yang mendalam, termasuk trauma pada individu yang terpapar langsung. Latar belakang ini mendorong perlunya respons iman yang konkret dari umat Kristen, khususnya melalui pelayanan konseling. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyoroti pentingnya konseling alkitabiah sebagai bentuk pertolongan rohani dan pemulihan psikologis bagi korban Covid-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan studi literatur teologis dan psikologis sebagai dasar analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konseling alkitabiah, yang berlandaskan pada prinsip kecukupan Alkitab, dapat memberikan penguatan iman, harapan, dan kedamaian batin bagi individu yang mengalami tekanan jiwa akibat pandemi. Manfaat Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi nyata bagi pelayanan gereja dalam menghadapi krisis global dengan pendekatan yang bersifat holistik dan teologis.
