Abstract

In the Old Testament, there is a prophecy about God that gave a sign that a virgin would conceive and give birth to a son, and she would name him Immanuel. Although the term sounds familiar, the word Immanuel is only mentioned 3 times in the Bible, namely in Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 8:8 and Matthew 1:23. The word "Immanuel" itself literally means "God with us." This word is a designation that refers to the presence of God in accompanying His people. This article will discuss further the meaning of the word "Immanuel" according to the view of one of the church fathers named Cyril of Alexandria.BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Dalam Perjanjian Lama terdapat nubuat tentang Tuhan yang memberikan tanda bahwa seorang anak dara akan mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan ia akan menamai-Nya Imanuel. Meskipun istilah ini terdengar tidak asing, kata Imanuel hanya disebutkan sebanyak 3 kali di dalam Alkitab, yaitu di dalam Yesaya 7:14, Yesaya 8:8, dan Matius 1:23. Kata "Imanuel" sendiri secara harfiah berarti "Allah menyertai kita". Kata ini merupakan sebutan yang merujuk pada kehadiran Tuhan dalam menyertai umat-Nya. Artikel ini akan membahas lebih jauh arti kata "Imanuel" menurut pandangan salah satu bapa gereja yang bernama Cyril dari Aleksandria.

Abstract

The virtue of humility, as espoused by both Old Testament prophets and Jesus in the New Testament, is not merely a commendable personal quality; rather, it can be experienced as a profound spiritual state. St. Isaac the Syrian articulates three key concepts of humility that elucidate its connection to spiritual experience, which are applicable to both laypersons and church leaders. Firstly, humility enables the individual to be adopted by God as His child, thereby suggesting that humans, through humility, can participate in the divine nature when united with God in eternity. Secondly, humility functions as a conduit for the perfection of the soul. Those who achieve spiritual perfection do so through the virtue of humility, which shapes their attitude towards worldly pleasures and desires, aligning them more closely with the love of God and the pursuit of eternal values. Finally, humility is a crucial element in the process of repentance. Genuine repentance, characterised by the acknowledgement and remorse of one's sins, is grounded in humility. This humility cultivates a profound sense of gratitude for God's grace and mercy, enabling individuals to recognise their vulnerabilities and seek divine guidance. Consequently, humility not only facilitates personal spiritual growth but also reinforces one's relationship with God.
