Abstract

Demythologization is a method that was born by Bultmann with the aim of making it easier for humans to understand God. Discussing supernatural events and the story of Jesus' life which are considered myths results in damage to the foundation of Christian faith in terms of the inerrancy of the Bible and the figure of Jesus as the Savior who redeems human sins. Bultmann uses an anthropological point of view in his demythological process. When man speaks of God, man speaks of himself. And when humans talk about themselves, if they are not based on the word of God, then humans align with the existence of God which is spoken of as humans. Through qualitative methods by collecting literature study data, human beings are described from an anthropological point of view from their spiritual and rational dimensions. Likewise, the role of Christian Religious Education (PAK) encourages people to understand themselves through learning resources and ways of learning that are based on the Bible which is the word of God.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of the shepherd’s sacrifice in John 10:11–15 by highlighting the close relationship between sacrifice and relational presence. Interpretations of the statement “the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” are often confined to a soteriological horizon, referring primarily to Jesus’ death on the cross. Through narrative and lexical exegesis, this study demonstrates that the Gospel of John constructs the meaning of sacrifice within the framework of a shepherding relationship marked by presence, mutual knowing, and faithfulness to the flock. By employing a psychological biblical interpretation approach, the shepherd–sheep metaphor is read as a depiction of a relationship that responds to existential vulnerability, in which the shepherd’s presence fosters a sense of security and relational attachment. Christological elaboration affirms that such presence constitutes an integral expression of Jesus’ identity as the Good Shepherd, rather than merely a pastoral function or strategy. The critique of the “hired hand” figure reveals that authentic shepherding is determined by the quality of relationship rather than by the continuity of function or structure alone. This study also outlines the theological and pastoral implications of understanding sacrifice as presence for contemporary church ministry
