Iman Perempuan Kanaan (Matius 15: 21-28)

perempuan kanaan

[AkhirZaman.org] Sebelum kita mulai, izinkan saya mengajukan beberapa pertanyaan:
Apakah negara Anda punya musuh?
Apakah ada negara lain yang sedang bermusuhan dengan negara Anda?
Bagaimana dengan anda, Apakah Anda punya musuh?
Apakah ada seseorang di sekolah atau di manapun yang Anda benar-benar tidak sukai?atau dengan siapa Anda sering bermusuhan?

Pada hari ini kita akan pelajari Matius 15: 21-22.
Lalu Yesus pergi dari situ dan menyingkir ke daerah Tirus dan Sidon. Maka datanglah seorang perempuan Kanaan dari daerah itu dan berseru: “Kasihanilah aku, ya Tuhan, Anak Daud, karena anakku perempuan kerasukan setan dan sangat menderita.”

Tapi wanita itu adalah orang Kanaan. Orang Kanaan adalah musuh lama orang Yahudi. Kebanyakan orang Yahudi, seperti murid-murid Yesus, tidak akan menyukai wanita ini karena dia adalah seorang Kanaan.

Wanita itu membutuhkan bantuan. Dia menginginkan supaya Yesus menyembuhkan putrinya, yang kerasukan setan.

Apakah menurut Anda Yesus akan membantu wanita itu, meskipun dia orang Kanaan?
Matius 15: 23-24. “Yesus tidak menjawab sepatah kata pun. Jadi murid-murid-Nya datang kepada-Nya dan mendesak-Nya, Suruhlah ia pergi, karena ia mengikuti kita dengan berteriak-teriak.” Jawab Yesus: “Aku diutus hanya kepada domba-domba yang hilang dari umat Israel.”

Mengapa Yesus tidak membantu wanita itu? (Dia berkata Dia hanya dikirim untuk membantu orang Yahudi. Dia tidak seharusnya membantu orang Kanaan.) Apakah menurut Anda Yesus harus membantu wanita itu? Mengapa? kalau tidak, mengapa?

Matius 15: 25-26.
Tetapi perempuan itu mendekat dan menyembah Dia sambil berkata: “Tuhan, tolonglah aku.”

Tetapi Yesus menjawab: “Tidak patut mengambil roti yang disediakan bagi anak-anak dan melemparkannya kepada anjing.”

Mengapa Yesus menyebut wanita itu anjing? (Karena dia adalah seorang Kanaan, musuh dari Orang Yahudi, dan tidak pantas jika Yesus membantunya)

Matius 15:27.
Kata perempuan itu: “Benar Tuhan, namun anjing itu makan remah-remah yang jatuh dari meja tuannya.”

Wanita itu menyebut dirinya anjing. Dia mengatakan bahwa dia tahu dia tidak pantas jika Yesus menolongnya. Dan Hal yang harus kita ingat adalah bahwa tidak ada di antara kita yang pantas mendapatkan bantuan Yesus. Tuhan tidak perlu melakukan apa pun untuk kita. Dia tidak berhutang apapun pada kita. Jadi, kita semua seperti wanita itu. Tak satu pun dari kita layak untuk meminta Yesus melakukan apa pun untuk kita.

Matius 15:28.
“Maka Yesus menjawab dan berkata kepadanya: “Hai ibu, besar imanmu, maka jadilah kepadamu seperti yang kaukehendaki.” Dan seketika itu juga anaknya sembuh.” Yesus akhirnya menolong wanita itu karena dia memiliki iman yang besar.

Dia percaya kepada-Nya. Itu menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa siapa pun dapat beriman kepada Yesus, bahkan orang beriman yang seharusnya musuh kita, seperti wanita Kanaan yang seharusnya menjadi musuh karena Yesus adalah orang Yahudi. Tetapi siapa pun dapat percaya kepada Yesus, di mana pun mereka berada dari mana atau seperti apa orang itu di negara mereka. Dan kita juga bisa percaya kepada Yesus. Kita bisa memiliki iman yang besar, seperti yang dilakukan wanita Kanaan.

Jadi mari kita ingat tiga hal hari ini:
1. Tidak satupun dari kita yang pantas meminta Tuhan melakukan apa pun untuk kita.
2. Siapapun dapat percaya kepada Yesus, tidak peduli siapa mereka.
3. Yesus ingin kita semua memiliki iman yang besar, seperti yang diperbuat oleh wanita Kanaan itu.

Jika kita semua memiliki iman yang besar seperti wanita Kanaan itu, maka Tuhan akan bersukacita karena kita percaya kepada-Nya.

Momen Doa Anak.
Ya Tuhan di surga, terima kasih atas semua yang Engkau lakukan untuk kami. Bantulah kami untuk menjadi rendah hati seperti wanita Kanaan tersebut dan bantu kami untuk mengingat bahwa siapa pun dapat percaya kepada-Mu, siapa pun mereka. Dalam nama Yesus kami berdoa. AMIN

  1. A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at brightacademy continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.

  2. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at socialcircle maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  3. Took something from this I did not expect to find, and a stop at uniquevoyager added another unexpected useful piece, content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.

  4. Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after clarityoveractivity I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

  5. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at focusoverforce continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

  6. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at activateyourmomentum continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.

  7. A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at ideasintomomentum suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

  8. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at intentionalmovement confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  9. Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at activateyourmomentum extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

  10. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at brightfusion kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  11. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at moveideaswithclarity confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.

  12. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at momentumwithmeaning added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

  13. Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at claritydrivesvelocity confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.

  14. Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at growthfollowsfocus extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.

  15. Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to signalpowersgrowth earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.

  16. During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at clearcoast extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  17. Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at ideasunlockmotion kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.

  18. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at bondedgrowth extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.
