Abstract

This article provides a theological explanation from the perspective of the Old Testament on how theological understanding of the Sabbath year. From the perspective of Old Testament theology, God is the only Creator of heaven, earth (land) and all its contents. Then humans are given the responsibility to cultivate and maintain all creations well. Because land has an important role in human life, land can actually be cultivated in such a way for the survival of creation. From the description of Old Testament theology, this article then develops an implication in Batak culture. In Batak culture, land is considered sacred because it is believed to be a gift from Debata Mulajadi Nabolon (DMN). Without land, humans cannot sustain their survival. The concept of the Sabbath Year (rest) in Leviticus 25:1-7 emphasizes the importance of rest for the land in order to realize that God is the owner of the land. It is a form of worship and has the same meaning in celebrations before God. In the New Testament (NT) Jesus said that God is the rest itself. Jesus emphasized that the Sabbath should not lose its true meaning and purpose, namely to be able to do diaconia.

Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi dan globalisasi yang pesat telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam kehidupan remaja di HKBP Siborong-Borong, memunculkan krisis identitas, penurunan moral, serta kurangnya pemahaman spiritual. Meskipun tumbuh di lingkungan gereja, banyak remaja yang belum memiliki pemahaman kuat tentang Firman Tuhan dan sering terpengaruh oleh media sosial yang bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Kristiani. Kesenjangan generasi antara remaja, orang tua, dan pemimpin gereja serta kurangnya keterlibatan dalam kegiatan gereja semakin memperparah situasi ini. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dirancang untuk membina karakter remaja melalui pendalaman pemahaman Firman Tuhan, pengembangan karakter berdasarkan nilai Kristiani, serta peningkatan keterlibatan dalam gereja dan masyarakat. Pembinaan karakter yang berlandaskan pada pemahaman Firman Tuhan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi efektif dalam membentuk generasi muda yang tidak hanya cerdas secara intelektual, tetapi juga memiliki integritas moral dan spiritual yang kokoh. Dengan pendekatan interaktif dan kontekstual, program ini bertujuan membentuk remaja yang berkarakter kuat, memiliki integritas moral dan spiritual, serta mampu memberikan dampak positif bagi lingkungannya.
