Abstract

This study aims to explore the compassion of Christ in the Gospel of Mark as a central aspect of Markan Christology and to trace its implications for local church ministry. In various pericopes of Mark, Jesus is portrayed not only as the one who suffers and redeems, but also as the Messiah who actively touches, heals, and restores the wounded and the marginalized. Using a qualitative approach and a library research method, this study analyzes key texts exegetically and interprets their theological and contextual significance. The findings indicate that Christ’s compassion is not merely an emotional or human response, but a manifestation of divine authority and a concrete expression of God’s saving mission. These insights call for a renewed ministry paradigm in the local church—one that is more compassionate, contextual, and transformative—so that the church may truly embody the face of Christ who cares deeply and acts redemptively in a broken world.

Abstract

Hospitality is one of the themes echoed in Christian theology with various forms of effort. This is inseparable from the fact that the Indonesian nation is a plural nation. Plurality on the one hand is a beauty, but on the other hand plurality also contains its own element of sensitivity. Therefore, the theme of hospitality is a reference to suppress and prevent potential conflicts in the midst of the reality of the plurality of this nation. This paper would like to present several passages of the Bible that reflect hospitality based on the narrative of the Gospel of Luke The reason researchers chose Luke's Gospel is because of its universal nature; touch all aspects in a plural context. The research method used is a literature study research approach. From the results of this study, it was found that hospitality has socioreligious values that include mutual respect, courtesy, acceptance, help, and a sense of solidarity, which can be widely implemented. Thus, as a Christian the implications of his faith make hospitality has no fixed place, but rather a plural reality.
