Abstract

The theocracy that introduced Jesus in Luke was more about the principles of God's government based on love. The book of Luke says the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost. He came not to condemn the world but so that the world, through Him, could be saved. This study explores the theocratic principles underlying Jesus Christ's missionary ministry, focusing on His efforts to seek and rescue the lost, as illustrated in Luke 19:10. The research method used is hermeneutics with a historical analysis and text context analysis approaches. Through a historical approach, this study aims to explore the principles of theocracy in Christ's missionary service throughout time. Analysis of texts and historical context will help identify changes, consistency, and continuity in the understanding and implementation of theocratic principles. The results are expected to provide deep insight into how theocratic principles played a key role in Christ's missionary service, taking into account changes and adaptations throughout history. The practical implications of this research include guidance for mission practitioners and church leaders in developing ministry strategies that take into account the historical course of theocratic principles in Christ's mission.

Abstract

This journal article explores the prophecies found in the Book of Psalms, employing a hermeneutical research method to argue that these prophecies serve as substantial evidence for the claim that Jesus is the Messiah. Through a detailed examination of key Psalms traditionally considered messianic, the article highlights the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of these texts, demonstrating their fulfillment in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Book of Psalms, a central text in the Hebrew Bible, contains numerous passages that have been interpreted as prophetic references to the coming Messiah. This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of these Psalms, employing hermeneutics to uncover their messianic significance and to present a compelling case for Jesus of Nazareth as the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies. Using the hermeneutical research method, this study examines the Psalms through multiple lenses: historical context, literary analysis, theological exegesis, canonical context, and reception history. This multifaceted approach ensures a thorough understanding of the text and its implications. Through hermeneutical analysis, this article provides substantial evidence that the messianic prophecies in the Psalms find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The convergence of historical, literary, and theological insights underscores the coherence and credibility of the claim that Jesus is the promised Messiah. This study not only enriches our understanding of the Psalms but also strengthens the theological foundation for Christian belief in Jesus as the Messiah.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of integrating pastoral counseling into theological education to build a more holistic and effective church counselor competence. Although some theological education institutions have included pastoral counseling in their curriculum, many still focus on teaching theory without addressing the practical skills needed for church ministry. This study reveals that combining psychological and theological principles in theological education can help prepare church leaders who are better equipped to handle the emotional and spiritual challenges of the congregation. The research method used is qualitative, based on in-depth interviews and documentation. With a more comprehensive and practice-based approach, theological education can equip future church counselors with the skills necessary to provide more effective and relevant support. Therefore, this study recommends that churches and theological educational institutions collaborate in designing a more innovative curriculum to enhance the quality of pastoral counseling services.   Artikel ini membahas pentingnya integrasi konseling pastoral dalam pendidikan teologi untuk membangun kompetensi konselor gereja yang lebih holistik dan efektif. Meskipun beberapa institusi pendidikan teologi telah memasukkan konseling pastoral dalam kurikulumnya, banyak yang masih memfokuskan pengajaran pada teori tanpa memperhatikan keterampilan praktis yang diperlukan untuk pelayanan gereja. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa penggabungan prinsip psikologis dan teologis dalam pendidikan teologi dapat membantu mempersiapkan pemimpin gereja yang lebih siap menangani tantangan emosional dan spiritual jemaat. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan kualitatif berbasis wawancara yang mendalam dan dokumentasi. Dengan pendekatan yang lebih komprehensif dan berbasis praktik, pendidikan teologi dapat membekali calon konselor gereja dengan keterampilan yang dibutuhkan untuk memberikan dukungan yang lebih efektif dan relevan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi agar gereja dan lembaga pendidikan teologi bekerja sama dalam merancang kurikulum yang lebih inovatif untuk meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan konseling pastoral.

Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the Industrial Revolution, focusing on justice for marginalized people, as explained in the parable of Matthew 20:1-16. The Kingdom of God, which is more than just a concept of heaven, is rooted in God's governance that involves social justice and grace for all humanity, including the marginalized. This study aims to explore how Jesus' teachings about the Kingdom of God can inspire an understanding of social justice, particularly for marginalized groups, and how these teachings can be applied in the context of the Industrial Revolution and modern social life. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method, analyzing theological references and biblical texts, especially Matthew 20:1-16, and comparing them with the social and economic conditions during Jesus' time and the Industrial Revolution. The findings show that the Kingdom of God, as taught by Jesus, speaks not only about personal salvation but also about social justice that emphasizes grace and equality. Jesus challenged the social norms of His time by teaching that in the Kingdom of God, all people, regardless of their status or occupation, are treated justly and with compassion.   Contribution: This article contributes by introducing the relationship between Jesus' teachings on the Kingdom of God and the concept of social justice, which is relevant to both the Industrial Revolution and modern life. Through the analysis of Matthew 20:1-16, the article highlights how the principles of the Kingdom of God, such as equality and compassion, can be applied to address social injustices. This concept offers new insights into how Christian teachings can tackle social issues, particularly the marginalization of certain groups.   Artikel ini membahas hubungan antara Kerajaan Allah dan Revolusi Industri, dengan fokus pada keadilan bagi orang yang terpinggirkan, sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam perumpamaan Matius 20:1-16. Kerajaan Allah, yang lebih dari sekadar konsep surga, berakar pada pemerintahan Allah yang melibatkan keadilan sosial dan kasih karunia bagi semua umat manusia, termasuk yang terpinggirkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana ajaran Yesus tentang Kerajaan Allah dapat menginspirasi pemahaman tentang keadilan sosial, khususnya bagi kelompok marginal, dan bagaimana ajaran tersebut dapat diterapkan dalam konteks Revolusi Industri dan kehidupan sosial modern. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi pustaka, menganalisis referensi-referensi teologis dan teks-teks Alkitab, terutama Matius 20:1-16, serta membandingkannya dengan kondisi sosial dan ekonomi pada masa Yesus dan Revolusi Industri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kerajaan Allah, seperti yang diajarkan Yesus, tidak hanya berbicara tentang keselamatan pribadi, tetapi juga keadilan sosial yang mengutamakan kasih karunia dan kesetaraan. Yesus menantang norma sosial pada masanya dengan mengajarkan bahwa dalam Kerajaan Allah, semua orang, terlepas dari status atau pekerjaan mereka, diperlakukan dengan adil dan penuh kasih.   Kontribusi: Artikel ini berkontribusi dalam memperkenalkan hubungan antara ajaran Yesus mengenai Kerajaan Allah dengan konsep keadilan sosial yang relevan pada masa Revolusi Industri dan kehidupan modern. Melalui analisis Matius 20:1-16, artikel ini menyoroti bagaimana prinsip-prinsip Kerajaan Allah, seperti kesetaraan dan belas kasih, dapat diterapkan dalam mengatasi ketidakadilan sosial. Konsep ini memberikan wawasan baru bagi pemahaman tentang bagaimana ajaran Kristen dapat menghadapi masalah sosial, khususnya marginalisasi kelompok tertentu.
