INFORMASI PENDIDIKAN

Pada waktu itu ketika Yesus mendekati Yerusalem dan melihat kota itu, Ia menangisinya, katanya, “Wahai Yerusalem, alangkah baiknya andaikan pada hari ini juga engkau mengerti apa yang perlu untuk damai sejahteramu! Tetapi sekarang hal itu tersembunyi bagi matamu.  Sebab akan datang harinya, musuhmu mengelilingi engkau dengan kubu, lalu mengepung dan menghimpit engkau dari segala jurusan. Dan mereka akan membinasakan dikau beserta semua pendudukmu. Tembokmu akan dirobohkan dan tiada satu batu pun akan dibiarkan terletak di atas batu yang lain. Sebab engkau tidak mengetahui saat Allah melawati engkau.  hanya 2 kali Injil mengisahkan  Tuhan Yesus menangis. Pertama, Tuhan menangis saat mendengar Lazarus meninggal. Kedua, Tuhan Yesus menangisi nasib orang-orang Yerusalem yang akan hancur beserta seluruh kotanya. Kisah ini menegaskan betapa Tuhan memperhatikan hidup dan keselamatan manusia.  Tuhan sangat peduli terhadap derita manusia. Ia menebus manusia dari segala dosa d...

We must have heard the term Judgment Day, what are our feelings and thoughts?  Of course we say the day of reckoning, the time when we have to give accountability for our lives and only we ourselves know what kind of accountability to give.  For from our own mouths, we shall pronounce judgment upon ourselves. the disciples that Jesus' journey to Jerusalem was not only the beginning of the building of the kingdom but also a time to account for all the beliefs that were offered to the disciples and all of us. It is not the result that determines the responsibility, but the effort and honest attitude.  Today's parable provides an example of how dishonesty can be self-defeating.  If people can only blame others and do not dare to admit their own limitations, then the struggle will not work as it should. We have great trust, which is receiving grace and opportunity.  This we need to be fully developed.  What opportunities should we look for?  Which possibil...

Work and pray Two equally important activities are prayer and work.  Praying and working are two different types of activities but often because of circumstances and conditions sometimes we do it at the same time and place. The question is, can we do both activities at the same time?  To clarify this question, consider the following example. Let's take an example:1  Doni went to the office by car, in between traffic jams he prayed the Rosary, all the way to his office.  This is an example of working and praying.  Example 2.  Budi followed Mass, during his homily and in between singing he was busy sending or receiving sms.  This is also an example of praying and working.  Let's introspect ourselves, which one do we often do?  Activities that are similar to the first event or similar to the second event.  Hopefully we don't do a second event. Imagine, when subordinates face their superiors, students face teachers, students face lecturers, ...

Because I don't feel rich yet, I don't have the courage to donate.  Since I did not study theology, I did not dare to be involved in the management of the Church.  Because I don't know, I don't have to help those in trouble.  Feeling myself a sinner, I distanced myself from God and ecclesiastical activities. Zacchaeus had an extraordinary desire to meet Jesus.  His weakness did not stop him from seeing Jesus.  He also made sense by climbing up a tree to be able to see Jesus.  And did he find Jesus?  It didn't turn out.  It was not Zacchaeus who met Jesus, but it was Jesus who met Zacchaeus who was on a tree.  Jesus also knows exactly what and how our weaknesses are today.  What Jesus wants is for us to try to come to Him.  Due to circumstances and weaknesses, we cannot recognize the Lord Jesus.  But Jesus did not close his eyes.  He will come to meet us, as long as we want to try. Doing good does not need to wait until you...

Famous Violin Story. Every human being like us is God's creation & beautiful work like a violin whose purpose was created by the violinist to play beautiful music.  But it is a pity that too many of us let the creator's purpose be neglected.  A true story about a very famous violinist in the 20th century, he is a very philanthropist too, the results of his performance are mostly donated to welfare funds. Once while performing in Europe, he saw a very beautiful and brilliant quality violin being sold in a music store.  But because he did not have enough money to buy.  He started to collect money, and when he had enough money, he returned to the Violin seller's shop.  But unfortunately the violin has been sold, and he was told that the violin had been bought by a collector. After being told the address he went to visit the Collector and conveyed his intention to buy the beautiful Violin.  But the sicoletor refused because the violin was very rare and beau...

Jesus said, "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for Me and the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, but he loses his life. For what can he give in exchange for his life?  ?” (Mark 8:35-37)  Jesus spoke of three kinds of people, three kinds of results: One type of person is "gaining the whole world" and the result is "losing his life." The other type is "saving his life" and the result is "losing his life" And the third type of person "lost his life for Jesus and for the gospel" and the result is "he will save it."  The first type of people are people in the world who are passionate and desperately trying to make money.  There are many such people, they all think that they have the potential to earn money and they are happy.  They are satisfied.  Such people have lost their lives in this life, they have become slaves to their money and career, havi...

Dear friends of God's people.  It is a pity that just because a person believes in God and wants to remain faithful to Him, he has to pay for it with his life.  But this is what we have to do as a disciple of Jesus, this is our faith being tested and proven. This story, the blind beggar got a share of his misfortune, he was blind, he had to beg and when he called for Jesus, he was scolded and told to shut up. This would make anyone lose their faith but not this blind beggar.  that's when his faith is tested and proven.  He not only received the vision but his faith also saved him.  May we be able to see our adversity as an opportunity for our faith to be tested and proven, and may our faith in God also bring us salvation.
