faith hope and love Monday, January 17, 2005 bangun pagi pusing, semalam tak bisa tidur mimpi buruk tentang aceh; terbangun, tidur dan terbangun lagi berharap bisa pergi kesana, sekedar agar bisa bermain bersama anak-anak dan ajak mereka menatap masa depan posted by haleygr at 3:21 AM 2 comments Friday, January 14, 2005 PRAY FOR OUR NATION
Alumni Spotlight The Rev. Bernadette Hickman-Maynard, AB ’02, EdM ’03, MDiv ’07 Harvard Divinity School welcomed our new Associate Dean for Ministry Studies, the Rev. Teddy Hickman-Maynard, to campus for the menginjak of the 2022 academic year. Throughout his first year at HDS, he has become a vibrant voice within the community, affectionately known as “Dean Teddy.” During an interview for a 2022 Dean’s Report story on multifaith ministry, Dean Teddy was asked about the importance of multireligious education. He fervently shared the story of an alumna near to his heart who is using her education in psychology, education, and divinity to make a difference in the world the Rev. Bernadette Hickman-Maynard. The Hickman-Maynards met as undergraduate students at Harvard College. They saw each other through several post-secondary degrees two masters degrees for her, a masters and PhD for him while also building a marriage and starting a family. They have four children. In addition to establishing their careers in both ministry and education, they have also become avid advocates for their community in Lynn, MA. The Rev. Bernadette Hickman-Maynard is currently the pastor of Bethel AME Church in Lynn. She is also the Deputy Director for Essex County Community Organization ECCO and co-chair of the Lynn Racial Justice Coalition of which ECCO is a member. Pastor Hickman-Maynard, now a pillar of community- and coalition-building in the Northeast, grew up on the West Coast. Born in Inglewood, CA, she was raised by a single mother who emphasized the importance of education from a young age. “ She wouldn’t have used the word poverty,’” Hickman-Maynard shares about her mother, “but we were low-income, and she always taught berpenyakitan that education was our ticket to make a better life for ourselves. So, from the very beginning, she did everything she could to make sure I had access to the best schools possible.” Religion was also a powerful force in her upbringing. Hickman-Maynard was raised as a devout Christian in the Conservative Baptist Association of America, which she notes was “both the name and the description” of the church. With an ardent emphasis on accepting Jesus Christ as lord and savior to escape hell in the afterlife, Hickman-Maynard’s experience with this tradition involved a staunch hierarchy of power. Women were titinada granted any official authority within the church; they were forbidden from preaching or teaching male congregants over the age of 18. Moreover, while the congregation was primarily comprised of Black community members, leadership consisted entirely of white membubuhi cap. Reflecting on her earlier experiences with religion, Hickman-Maynard notes that she identified as a secular feminist. “I believed that women could be doctors, lawyers, even president of the United States in the secular world, but not within the church,” she says. “Women and men were equal, but in the church, God called menandai to lead.” It wasn’t until she was introduced to an African Methodist Episcopal AME Church in Roxbury that Hickman-Maynard began to see more diverse representation in religious leadership. A Pathway to Ministry Grounded in Psychology and Education From a young age, Hickman-Maynard showed exceptional talent in science and math. She had early ambitions of becoming a doctor and, with the encouragement of her family, attended a medical magnet high school in Los Angeles. She reflects “When I applied to colleges and got into Harvard, it was like a dream. But my mother didn’cakrawala pressure me. She let berpenyakitan consider UCLA or Stanford.
 It was my aunt who said, you’re going!’” When asked about the transition from the West Coast to Cambridge, Hickman-Maynard laughed “I had never even visited before, but I was invited to a pre-frosh acara for women in science before move-in day. I remember hailing a cab and saying, I need to go to Harvard University,’ and the cabbie was like okay, where?’ This was before the days of Uber, Lyft.
 I didn’t even have a cell phone! But I had a paper with berpenyakitan that said Canady Hall,’ so I got myself there, and that was the first time I stepped foot on campus.” As a first-year student, Hickman-Maynard remembers exploring concentrations and searching for a church to call home on the East Coast. She was introduced to the Kuumba Singers on campus—an organization that explores and shares the rich musical culture of Black people through spirituals, gospel, African folk songs, and contemporary music. Joining Kuumba was particularly influential for Hickman-Maynard. “Kuumba was the first place where I experienced Black spiritual music. I knew gospel music, but we couldn’kaki langit play drums in my home church; drums were of the devil. So, I really gravitated to Kuumba as a space for my faith as a Christian, but also as a Black Christian who was newly exposed to the celebration of Black spirituality.” Kuumba is also where young Bernadette Hickman met young Teddy Maynard. Reflecting on their introduction, Hickman-Maynard shares “I knew he was a minister, and I kept telling him to take berpenyakitan to church because I was looking for a local church home. He brought me to Charles Street AME Church, and there were a number of things that were surprising to me. First, there were women who were preaching and teaching, and I thought, well, they don’tepi langit seem to be of the devil!’ Second, I learned that God does titinada just care about the Bible and souls going to hell. I learned that God does not want us to live in hell on earth—that sexism matters, that racism matters, and that Jesus came to set captives free on earth. That’s where I had a shift in my faith and a shift in my understanding of my role within Christianity because I was able to see women who were indeed being used by the Semangat to preach and to teach and to lead God’s people.” The AME Church , built on a foundation of emancipation and liberation in the late 1700s, was not without its own gender politics. Jarena Lee , a renowned preacher who was a contemporary of the church’s founder, Richard Allen, was only ordained posthumously in 2022. However, seeing women in leadership roles within the church inspired an evolution of both personal faith and professional ambitions for Padri Hickman-Maynard. “Coming to Harvard, I did feel called to be a doctor. I wanted to help people heal their bodies. As I learned more, I found myself thinking about how I could help heal people’s lives and break down those systems of oppression that hold people back and prevent them from thriving. So, that’s where I started to have a shift in my faith, in my calling, and in the type of work I wanted to do. And all that happened at Harvard College.” After her undergraduate work, Hickman-Maynard earned a masters degree at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, focusing on human development and risk prevention. She then decided to pursue a masters at HDS to begin formal ministry work. Advisors at HDS, notably Cheryl Giles , helped create space for exploring feminism and womanist theology, including the work of a past WSRP Research Associate, Delores Williams . When asked about the importance of studying at a multireligious divinity school, Hickman-Maynard notes “I wanted to study alongside other women who were exploring their faith, interrogating their faith, and finding out what was liberating about their faith at the same time. So that’s what appealed to me about Divinity School, that I could study with Christian, Jewish, and Orang islam women—people of all traditions—to see what’s possible.” Community Organizing in Service of a Just World At Peace After completing her studies at HDS and being ordained an Itinerant Elder in the AME church, Hickman-Maynard began her pastoral ministry and community organizing in Bridgeport, CT. She later returned to the Boston area, where she has been leading Bethel AME Church in Lynn. She has also built a network of advocates through ECCO and serves as co-chair of the Lynn Racial Justice Coalition. What Hickman-Maynard has seen up close and personal in both communities is a deep, unyielding need for community support—especially regarding racial justice and police reform. Working to change and/or dismantle broken systems can be dispiriting, but building coalitions of community advocates, especially with interfaith organizations, is one way to sustain momentum. Working together toward concrete goals that serve as stepping stones toward progress is another. Hickman-Maynard has made it a point to bridge cultural and religious divides—working with pastors, priests, rabbis, and imams—to create movements that share common goals. She also builds connections with secular community members, policymakers, union leaders, and advocates for an array of issues, using her time, energy, and skills to facilitate productive conversations, organize action, and negotiate systemic change. One example of this work in action is when the city of Lynn wanted to increase the police budget by $2 million in the wake of yet another wave of police brutality in 2022. The summer after Breonna Taylor and George Floyd were killed by police, the then-mayor of Lynn, Thomas McGee, denounced racism but had yet to implement reforms within the city’s own police force. Working with a number of community organizations and activists, Hickman-Maynard employed a range of organizing skills rallies , education , policy plans to advocate for body cams, bias trainings, and a better plan for nonviolent crisis response. Mayor McGee worked closely with ECCO and the newly formed Lynn Racial Justice Coalition to pursue a series of reforms to address systemic racism and equitable public safety for all , including Updating the Lynn Police Department’s Use of Force Policy, which included the addition of body cameras Establishing the city’s first-ever diversity, equity, and inclusion office Allocating $500,000 for a pilot test of an unarmed crisis response team ALERT Considering the establishment of a civilian review board for police. This was a major win for the community. Additionally, a successful juru terbang program could mean reform across the state. Boston and Cambridge have already signaled they would also explore such an option, with Lynn’s test-run paving the way for expansion across Massachusetts. However, with a change in local leadership, plans have been stalled. A September 2022 interview with Mayor Jared Nicholson , focused mostly on real estate development and transportation, mentions the unarmed crisis response team at the end noting “there is not yet a menginjak date for the program.” Community leaders continue to advocate for this vital program to create, as Pastor Hickman-Maynard says, “a future of public safety that keeps everybody safe.” On Solidarity and Sustaining Progress Coalition building has proven to be one of the most effective forms of advocacy and community support, but it is not without its trials and tribulations. One major challenge is navigating the often-complicated politics and procedures of bureaucracy especially for people who are volunteering their time in addition to being parents, pastors, community leaders, teachers, health care providers, and laborers. Add a universal pandemic to the mix and this work becomes much more difficult. Another major challenge, especially for leaders from marginalized communities, is getting support from different people in ways that support the cause without subverting power. Hickman-Maynard says “I consider the community to be my congregation, and my work is to help tear down systems of oppression affecting the community so that we can all be free. One thing I have learned through interfaith work is that Black people can’t do it all by ourselves. LGBTQ folks can’t do it all by themselves. Marginalized folks can’cakrawala do it all by themselves. We need to get together, and we need to get together with white people, and people who have different types of privilege, to build that power and make change that benefits all of us. This is something I have really committed to figuring out how to work with white people so they are actually coming alongside, and sometimes behind, folks of color to support the direction and agency-building of marginalized groups to fight for justice in the way that we see bugar.” In short, to work for justice, all the -isms and -phobias need to be checked in favor of support and solidarity. —by Amie Montemurro

Question Answer First Corinthians 12 talks about spiritual gifts, which are distributed by the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 124. Thus one Christian may receive one type of gift while another receives a different gift. Chapter 13 goes one step further and mentions the three gifts that are common for all Christians faith, hope, and love. Verse 13 says, “And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” In stating that faith, hope, and love remain, Paul does something interesting and unexpected he uses a singular verb for a compound and therefore plural subject. His statement in 1 Corinthians 1313 could be literally rendered “faith, hope, and love remains.” Paul’s point is that, essentially, faith, hope, and love are united; what happens to one happens to all. And what happens is that they “remain.” The fact that faith, hope, and love remain must be understood in light of the broader context. Paul had just listed another set of three gifts that would not remain “Where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away” 1 Corinthians 138. So, the passage contains a contrast three gifts of the Spirit that will cease, and three gifts that will never end. Faith, hope, and love will always remain. The Corinthian church members were priding themselves on the fact that they could speak in tongues and demonstrate other attention-getting gifts. Paul reminds them of “the most excellent way” 1 Corinthians 1231—the way of love. The gifts that the Corinthians so desired were but temporary; faith, hope, and love, the foundational gifts, are permanent and therefore more to be desired. Faith, hope, and love are gifts in the present age, and they will still be gifts in the age to come. The NLT translates the promise this way “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love.” It’s easy to see how love will last forever, since love is an essential part of God’s nature 1 John 416. But what about faith and hope? Those two gifts will likewise last forever. Faith in the Son of God will not cease in the eternal state; we will not stop trusting Jesus just because our faith has become sight. If anything, our trust in Him will grow greater. Similarly, our hope will not cease just because our blessed hope has come. Our lives will continue in the eternal state, as will our expectation of other things in an infinite sequence of adventure. As commentator Alexander MacLaren explained, “That Future presents itself to us as the continual communication of an inexhaustible God to our progressively capacious and capable spirits. In that continual communication there is continual progress. Wherever there is progress there must be hope. And thus the fair form . . . will move before us through all the long avenues of an endless progress, and will ever and anon come back to tell us of the unseen glories that lie beyond the next turn, and to woo us further into the depths of heaven and the fulness of God” MacLaren Expositions of Holy Scripture, 1 Corinthians. Faith, hope, and love are the three gifts that will be ours throughout all eternity. And agape love is the ultimate gift. God in His goodness gives us the privilege of possessing these gifts today, and we look forward to having them remain with us forever.

Faith Hope and Love with love comes faith, and with faith, comes hope Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Khianat Sedih ketika mengetahui orang yang paling Anda anggap dekat mengkhianati Anda dari belakang. Cerita-cerita, guyonan dan senyum tawa hanyalah sebuah sandiwara untuk menusuk Anda.
Iman, harapan, dan kasih..... Pertama, saya akan membahas mengenai iman. Walaupun saya adalah orang awam, namun saya percaya bahwa kita semua, umat beragama, pasti memiliki iman kepercayaan masing-masing. Entah itu yang beragama Kristiani, Islam, Hindu, Buddha, pasti diajarkan untuk beriman kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa. Iman itulah yang menjadikan kita sebagai pedoman hidup untuk terus bertahan di tengah-tengah kerasnya kehidupan di dunia ini. Tanpa adanya iman yang kuat, kita pasti mudah untuk terjerumus ke dalam dosa, yang malah akan merugikan diri kita sendiri dan orang lain di sekitar kita. Kedua adalah harapan. Harapan ini seringkali ditujukan untuk Tuhan kita berupa doa permohonan. Seperti saat kita gagal mendapatkan apa yang kita inginkan, kita secara sadar maupun tidak sadar akan membatin atau mengatakan Tuhan, bukan ini yang saya inginkan. Saya menginginkan hubungan yang harmonis, cinta yang sejati, usaha yang lancar, dan sebagainya. Ya, harapan adalah keinginan kita. Terakhir adalah yang terpenting dari semuanya. Cinta kasih. Kalau yang ini pasti semuanya sudah bisa mendefinisikan apa itu cinta. Heheheee... Ada yang bilang, cinta itu rumit. Semakin dipikirin, semakin bikin otak melilit. hahaha.. Tetapi, buat yang sudah menjalin bahtera rumah tangga atau buat pasangan muda-mudi yang sedang kasmaran, pasti akan mengatakan bahwa cinta itu manis. Semanis dirinya di hatiku.. wakakakaa.. Memang benar, cinta dapat membuat segalanya berbeda. Suasana yang dingin dan kaku, dapat menjadi hangat jika ada cinta di dalamnya. Entah itu cinta dalam keluarga, persahabatan, maupun dalam hubungan berpacaran dengan lawan jenis. Karena ini adalah bagian terpenting, mungkin saya akan sedikit sharing tentang pengalaman pribadi saya. Dia itu sosok yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan pria lainnya yang saya kenal. Saya mengenal dirinya saat di bangku kuliah, tepatnya dalam sebuah organisasi paduan suara universitas. Awalnya sangat manis. Pastinya.. Dan itu adalah momen yang tidak akan pernah terlupakan. Kami jadian tanggal 22 Agustus 2008. Sehari sebelum kami mengikuti kompetisi paduan suara di salah satu institut negeri di daerah Bandung. Waktu berjalan, memang tidak semudah yang kami kira. Setahun kemudian, masalah pertama mulai mewarnai kehidupan cinta kami. Dia sempat menyerah dan berniat untuk putus dari saya, namun saya terus meyakinkan dirinya untuk bertahan dan menyelesaikan masalah itu baik-baik. Permasalahan yang kami hadapi saat itu tidak ada hubungannya dengan orang ketiga. Dia hanya stres karena ada masalah dalam sidang skripsinya. Saya bisa merasakan bahwa dia hanya perlu ditenangkan emosinya. Akhirnya kami berhasil menjalin cinta kami kembali setelah saya memperjuangkannya. Selang waktu berlalu, dirinya pun akhirnya diwisuda dan ternyata masalah kembali datang di kehidupan cinta kami. Sebulan setelah dirinya diwisuda, saya yang saat itu masih sangat labil, mulai mempertanyakan keseriusan dan komitmennya. Dia tidak menepati janji untuk ketemuan, dan saya memaksanya untuk datang ke kosan saya. Ternyata dia datang, dan tepat malam itu hujan sangat deras. Saya merasa sangat sangat bersalah padanya. Dia membuktikan janjinya. Namun dia menjadi sangat marah kepada saya...dan meminta saya untuk putus saat itu juga.. Saya sangat menyesal dan berniat ke rumahnya malam itu juga untuk minta maaf. Kakak-kakaknya pun sampai ikut mendukung keputusan saya, karena saya memang sudah dekat dengan keluarganya. Saya dibantu oleh kakak iparnya, menginap di kamar kakak iparnya tanpa sepengetahuan dirinya, dan menulis surat untuk diselipkan di pintu kamarnya. Paginya, saya berusaha untuk berbicara empat mata dengannya. Awalnya dia tidak mau bertemu dengan saya, namun akhirnya dia mau membicarakan masalah kami berdua. Pendek kata, kami berbaikan kembali.. Untuk yang ketiga kalinya, dia meminta saya untuk putus lagi. Kali ini lebih ekstrem, karena saya memperjuangkan keutuhan cinta kami sampai ke Garut, Jawa Barat. Memang, setelah kami baikan untuk yang kedua kalinya, kami mengalami apa yang disebut Long Distance Relationship LDR. Saat dia minta untuk putus, saya sedang KKN Kuliah Kerja Nyata di daerah Semarang, sedangkan dia kerja di Garut. Saya langsung bela-belain ke Garut seorang diri, hanya untuk meng-clear-kan permasalahannya. Saya memang belum pernah ke Garut, dan hal itu yang membuat teman saya, bahkan sahabat saya, mencegah keberangkatan saya ke sana seorang diri. Namun tekad saya sudah bulat. Saya benar-benar ingin membuktikan bahwa rasa sayangnya saya ke dirinya tidak main-main. Sesampainya di Garut, dia terlihat begitu kaget saat saya ada di depan kosannya. Saya pun segera membicarakan penyebab mengapa dia meminta putus. Ternyata hanya satu, sangat klise, dia bosan. Dia tetap bersikukuh untuk putus dengan saya saat itu juga. Rasa sakit, lelah, dan kecewa, saya tumpahkan di depan dia, yang ditutup dengan kata maaf dan ciuman di kening saya. Sinetron banget yah.. Tapi itu benar-benar saya alami. Sejak saat itu, saya akui, sangat sulit untuk bangkit dari rasa kecewa. Tapi dari peristiwa itu, saya mulai belajar untuk lebih mendekatkan diri pada Tuhan saya, Tuhan Yesus Kristus. Kemudian saya mendapat salah satu ayat dari Alkitab, yaitu 1 Korintus 13 1 - 13. Awalnya saya tertarik karena salah satu dari ayat tersebut membicarakan tetntang yang namanya "KASIH". Melalui ayat tersebut, saya merasa bahwa saya diingatkan kembali atau lebih tepatnya ditegur olehNya. Ternyata saya merasa bahwa saya masih sangat kurang dalam mencintai pasangan saya. Arti mencintai tidak hanya sekedar "aku sayang dia", tetapi juga ada pembelajaran yang harus diperdalam kembali sebelum kita benar-benar siap untuk menjalin huibungan yang lebih intim dengan lawan jenis. Berikut ini adalah sepenggal dari ayat yang terkandung dalam 1 Korintus 13. Kasih itu sabar; kasih itu murah hati; ia tidak cemburu. Ia tidak memegahkan diri dan tidak sombong. Ia tidak melakukan yang tidak sopan dan tidak mencari keuntungan diri sendiri. Ia tidak pemarah dan tidak menyimpan kesalahan orang lain. Ia tidak bersukacita karena ketidakadilan, tetapi karena kebenaran. Ia menutupi segala sesuatu, percaya segala sesuatu, mengharapkan segala sesuatu, sabar menanggung segala sesuatu. Kasih tidak berkesudahan. Saat membaca sepenggal ayat tersebut, saya sadar, masih ada banyak sekali kekurangan pada diri saya. Seringkali saya sulit memaafkan apa yang telah diperbuat oleh dia, terutama hal-hal yang menyakiti hati saya. Padahal jelas-jelas Tuhan mengajarkan kita untuk tidak menyimpan kesalahan. Saya juga akui bahwa saya terkadang menjadi sangat marah apabila dia tidak menepati janjinya pada saya. Jujur, saat itu saya merasa bahwa saya memang saat itu belum pantas untuk mengasihi dirinya. Masih ada banyak kekurangan dari diri saya. Masih belum sempurna 1 Kor 13 9. Mungkin, Tuhan Yesus saat ini memberikan jalan yang terbaik untuk saya dengan cara putus, supaya saya belajar untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik lagi dalam mengasihi pasangan saya nantinya. Iman, harapan, dan kasih. Tanpa adanya iman yang kuat, bisa saja saya berpikir untuk melukai diri saya sendiri. Tanpa adanya harapan untuk terus hidup, saya bisa saja menjadi orang yang sangat depresi, bahkan gila. Dan tanpa adanya cinta kasih dari sahabat, teman, dan tentu saja, Tuhan Yesus Kristus, saya tidak akan bisa move on seperti sekarang ini. Cinta kasih memberi pengaruh yang sangat besar di dalam hidup saya, bahkan dalam hidup Anda. Apa yang akan terjadi jika tidak ada cinta dari orang-orang yang menyayangi Anda dengan tulus? Dunia ini memang jahat. Saya akui itu. Tinggal bagaimana cara kita untuk melawan kejahatan itu dengan cinta kasih yang kita miliki? Ampuni dia yang sudah menyakiti hati dan perasaan kita Berdoa dan berharap yang terbaik padaNYA Beriman dan percaya pada janjiNYA Selalu berserah diri kepadaNYA Point pertama memang terdengar sangat sulit untuk dijalankan. Tapi percayalah, tidak ada yang mustahil bagiNYA! Kita pasti mampu mengampuni dia dan menggantikan posisi dirinya dengan orang yang lebih baik dari dirinya. Mengapa? Karena rencana Tuhan selalu lebih indah dari yang kita kira! Ini adalah secuil proses pendewasaan diri. Semua proses itu adalah hujan dariNYA. Pelangi akan selalu hadir saat hujan reda.. Itu adalah janji Tuhan. Dan janjiNYA adalah kekal, setia, selamanya. Amin. Tuhan memberkati kita semua.

When we come face to face with Christ in heaven, there will still be much that has to happen. We will still need to have faith in the outworking of a new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will dwell. We will still need to hope in the glorious finale when everything is restored, in Christ, to how it originally was, all of creation and every living creature united in perfection, to the glory of God the Father. Although perfection exists in heaven, there is unfinished business to be completed in the cosmos. Heaven is not about OUR hopes, for we are focused on God, concentrating on him and how he will eventually achieve his cosmic righteousness in his creation, through Christ. Our praise and service will still be employed by him, for his glory. We know not what work we will be assigned in heaven towards that end, or for how long. After all, God has a track-record of not being hasty with anything he does. Since when has God been in a rush to do anything? Just this morning I alighted on this old hymn, and as I sang the verses in solitary confinement in my home, for I would not inflict my piano-playing-cum-singing on innocent hearers the combination of faith, hope and love was eloquently expressed by Christopher Wordsworth 1807-85 to the tune Charity by John Stainer, 1840-1901. Bear with me as I recite all six verses, for I see in them the distinct division between our hopes and faith here on earth, and the ultimate supremacy of love in heaven once all is all in God Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost – taught by Thee, we covet most of Thy gifts at Pentecost, holy, heavenly love. Faith that mountains could remove, tongues of earth or heaven above, knowledge, all things, empty prove without heavenly love. Though I as a martyr bleed, give my goods the poor to feed, all is vain if love I need; therefore, give me love. Love is kind and suffers long, love is meek and thinks no wrong, love than death itself more strong; therefore, give us love. Prophecy will fade away, melting in the light of day, love will ever with us stay; therefore, give us love. Faith, and hope and love we see, joining hand in hand, agree; but the greatest of the three, and the best, is love. When Philippians 29-11 has been fulfilled, then I suggest love will remain supreme, but until that distant day is reached, our heavenly estate will still call for faith and hope as the creation of a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness will dwell will be worked out. Our getting to heaven won’t be the finale. This will be the finale “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” I suggest that, even when we get to heaven, there’s a way to go before that ultimate climax, when "that which is perfect" has arrived Romans 1310.

Kelahiran Tuhan Yesus kembali dirayakan bersama oleh umat Gereja Indonesian Congregation Camberwell ICC di St. john Anglican Church, Camberwell. Serupa seperti tahun sebelumnya, ICC mengundang masyarakat luas dari berbagai latar belakang dan keyakinan, bukan hanya masyarakat Indonesia yang beragama yang diangkat di tahun 2014 ini adalah Hope, Faith and Love. Ketua Panitia Natal ICC Yolanda Ohello mengatakan tema tersebut ditemukannya dalam Alkitab 1 Petrus 1. ñ€ƓI think itñ€ℱs very beautiful,ñ€ tersebut pun diwujudkan dalam berbagai bentuk penampilan dari jemaat ICC; dimulai dari tarian cantik oleh anak-anak sekolah minggu yang berpakaian seperti malaikat, sampai koor yang menyanyikan lagu-lagu khas dua anak ini berharap acara natal ICC dapat membawa kebaikan kepada semua orang yang telah terlibat dan telah cuma mau semua orang yang datang dan terlibat hari ini, baik jemaat, pelayan, hamba-hambanya; come out from here filled with hope and faith and love. Jadi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari mereka dapat dipenuhi pengharapan, iman dan dekorasi nan indah dan berwarna-warni tidak luput menghiasi seisi ruang ibadah sehingga suasana Natal pun menjadi lebih terasa. Rupanya persiapan yang dilakukan oleh seksi acara dan dekorasi, Ganda Marpaung, berlangsung kurang dari satu bulan. ñ€ƓUntuk acara sebenarnya ide-idenya sudah lama. Tapi saya mulai bekerja sekitar tiga minggu terakhir,ñ€ Ganda yang sudah tidak asing lagi berkiprah di berbagai acara promosi Indonesia semacam Festival Indonesia dan Pako Festa, pelayanan untuk gereja memberikan kepuasan batin tersendiri. Lagipula, pemilik Nauli Dancer ini mengaku, dirinya senang mengajar tari-tarian pada kotbahnya, Pendeta Kuncoro Rusman berharap para umat dapat menyebarkan arti Natal yang sebenarnya, yaitu kelahiran Yesus Kristus yang penuh kasih dan harapan. Hal ini dijelaskan beliau sebab banyak orang, terutama yang tumbuh di lingkungan yang tidak mengenal Tuhan, menganggap Natal sebagai hari libur maupun dekorasi berupa pohon natal, lampu yang berkelap-kelip dan Santa Klaus tersebut juga dihadiri oleh Konsul Muda Protokol dan Kekonsuleran Oldrin Lawalata yang membawa pesan dari Konsul Jendral Dewi Wahab. Di kesempatan tersebut beliau mengungkapkan rasa terimakasih KJRI kepada gereja yang telah bersama-sama menyatukan dan melayani masyarakat Indonesia yang ada di Melbourne. Tentunya beliau juga tidak lupa untuk mengucapkan selamat hari Natal dan tahun baru kepada semua orang yang Kalonta selaku Ketua Majelis ICC mengapresiasi semua komunitas yang telah hadir.  Dirinya pun berharap agar keceriaan Natal dapat membawa perdamaian dan pengharapan lengkap perayaan tanpa hidangan makan malam dan santapan penutup yang lezat. Para pengunjung pun dapat saling mengucapkan selamat Natal dan berkumpul bersama dalam kegembiraan.* GALERI FOTO * gaby foto ga/rr/tjintjinÂ

What have Christians been known for in 2021? What has marked the church? Jesus has commissioned his followers to represent him in this world. When nonbelievers look at our lives, we want them to see people distinguished by Christlike character. When they look at churches, we want them to see outposts of God’s heavenly kingdom, early installments of the new creation. And in particular, whether they look at individual Christians or churches, we want them to notice three dominant graces faith, hope, and most of all, love. The gospel creates people who are filled with faith in Christ, captivated by the hope of eternal life, and overflowing in love for God and neighbor. In fact, at least nine passages — scattered throughout the letters of Paul, Peter, and Hebrews — mention this trio of Christian graces 1 Corinthians 1313; Galatians 55–6; Ephesians 42–5; Colossians 14–5; 1 Thessalonians 13; 58; Hebrews 610–12; 1022–24; 1 Peter 121–22. If you could travel back in time and ask New Testament believers how they live the Christian life, I expect that you would hear the same answer again and again we aim to abound in faith, hope, and love. Greatest of These First Corinthians 1313 is the most well-known passage that highlights this trio. Paul tells us, “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” His claim raises an important question Why is love “the greatest” of these graces? After all, we are saved by grace through faith Ephesians 28, and we continue to grow as believers through faith in Christ and his promises. Likewise, as we look forward to Christ’s return with eager anticipation, hope fills us with joy and empowers us to persevere through suffering Romans 1212. Yet Paul tells us that love holds the highest place in this holy triad. So why is love the greatest? Let’s answer that question by approaching 1 Corinthians 1313 in three contexts. We’ll begin with the larger context of Paul’s letters, then focus more closely on this section of 1 Corinthians chapters 12–14, and finally zero in on the immediate context in 1 Corinthians 138–13. As we do so, my hope is that our hearts will be stirred up to love one another, so that our homes, our churches, and our neighborhoods would be saturated with love that spreads the fame of Christ. Faith and Hope Produce Love Several passages in Paul’s letters show us that both faith and hope produce love. We can see this connection between faith and love in Galatians 56 “In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.” Though we are justified by faith alone, the kind of faith that justifies never remains alone; it always works through love for others. God does not save us in order that we might remain indifferent to the needs of those around us. Rather, as the Holy Spirit begets faith in our hearts, he intends for that faith to produce countless deeds of love. Similarly, the hope that is ours in Christ leads us to love one another. In Colossians 14–5, Paul tells the Colossian believers about his gratitude for them, “since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven.” The Colossian Christians loved their fellow believers, Paul says, because they knew they had a glorious hope awaiting them in heaven. They knew they would spend eternity in the presence of Christ, and this hope freed them to give of their time, their possessions, and perhaps even their lives to serve their fellow believers. Faith and hope are, in one sense, means to an even greater end, without which they would be incomplete they transform us so that our lives overflow with Christlike love. Love Builds Up the Church Now we’ll narrow our focus to the section of 1 Corinthians in which Paul says that “the greatest of these is love.” In 1 Corinthians 12–14, Paul is teaching the church about spiritual gifts. As he sorts through issues such as the variety of gifts in the church and the use of what we might call “miraculous gifts,” his great concern is for everything to be done for the building up of the church. When Christ’s people meet together for worship, everyone may bring something to contribute with this goal in mind “Let all things be done for building up” 1 Corinthians 1426. “What makes the difference between fruitless religious activity and church-strengthening service? Love.” When Christians worship God together, it’s possible for them to exercise their spiritual gifts in ways that do not build up the rest of the body. God has no desire for the church to be filled with exciting manifestations that glorify those with the gifts but fail to edify the church. And what makes the difference between fruitless religious activity and church-strengthening service? Love. Earlier in the letter, Paul wrote that “love builds up” 1 Corinthians 81. In the context of 1 Corinthians 12–14, Paul’s famous words about love in chapter 13 reveal that love is what makes the difference between Christians whose gifts build up the body and those who are just “a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal” 1 Corinthians 131. Because Jesus loves his church with a love “that surpasses knowledge” Ephesians 319, he desires for the members of his body to build up one another — and in order to do that, we need not only faith, and not only hope, but love. Love Will Be Greatest for Eternity A third reason why love holds the highest place in the trio of Christian graces is found in the second half of 1 Corinthians 13. In verses 8–13, Paul says that spiritual gifts such as prophecy, tongues, and knowledge are temporary provisions for the present age. In contrast, when he writes in verse 13 that “faith, hope, and love abide, these three,” he shows us that these graces are superior to the gifts because they will endure forever. In the new creation, we will continue to have faith in God and his promises, and we will continue to look forward to the future with hope. But most of all, the life of the new creation will be characterized by love, flowing through us from the God who is love 1 John 416. “As followers of Jesus, we rejoice in the hope of spending eternity in a world saturated with pure love.” In 1738, Jonathan Edwards preached a sermon entitled “Heaven Is a World of Love.” He pointed out that since heaven is God’s dwelling place, “this renders heaven a world of love; for God is the fountain of love, as the sun is the fountain of light. And therefore the glorious presence of God in heaven fills heaven with love, as the sun placed in the midst of the hemisphere in a clear day fills the world with light” Works, 8369. Furthermore, “love reigns in every heart” in heaven, as the saints abound in love for God and for one another 8373. As followers of Jesus, we rejoice in the hope of spending eternity in a world saturated with pure love. And as our lives are filled increasingly with love here, we reflect the new creation in the present, and our churches fulfill their callings as outposts of the kingdom of heaven. Our lives and our churches spread the sweet aroma of heaven as we love God and one another, for “faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

Audio Transcript Faith and hope — we need them both. But what exactly is the difference between them? It’s a new question today, and it comes from Kelly in Chickamauga, Georgia. “Pastor John, I share your passion for the intentionality of words. I have a question about two words in Scripture — namely, faith and hope. First Peter 121 says that Christ’s work was so that your faith and hope are in God.’ My initial understanding was that faith is rooted in past grace — namely, the cross. But hope is rooted in future grace, specifically the revelation of Jesus 1 Peter 113. However, Hebrews 111 and 1 Peter 121 seem to define faith as something rooted in the future, while also distinguishing it from hope. So, Pastor John, can you help me understand the distinction then between faith and hope?” Well, I’m glad Kelly shares my enthusiasm for the intentionality of words because I really believe words are dumb things until a meaner gives them an intention. So, that’s a good way to ask the question, and there are few things I think about more than the nature of faith and hope and how they relate to each other in the Christian life. So this is right in my present wheelhouse. I love thinking about this. Here’s my understanding of the similarity and difference between biblical faith and biblical hope — and that’s really important to say biblical because the world has all kinds of meanings that they give to faith and hope. And I just want to ask, “What does the Bible mean by saving faith and hope?” Hope Future Confidence Hope, as it is used in the Bible for the distinctive experience of Christian hope, is always a confidence concerning the future. It’s a confidence, not a finger-crossing wish. So that separates the Christian hope from most other uses of hope in the English language. Romans 55 says, “Hope does not put us to shame.” It is rock-solid, sure. You can be confident. That’s Christian hope, and it’s always future-oriented. A key text would be Romans 824–25 “In this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” When we say that hope does not see what it hopes for, the reason it doesn’t see it is because it hasn’t happened yet. It’s future. “We wait for it with patience.” So that’s the distinctive mark of hope it is always future-oriented and consists in a firm confidence of what we are hoping for — not just a wish. Faith Personal, Treasuring Trust Now faith, on the other hand, is the bigger concept. It includes everything that we say biblically about hope, but it is more. Now that probably is going to surprise a lot of people. It’s a risky statement — that everything we can say about hope is in faith, but that it’s more. But I think that’s a true statement. I think it’s fair to say that biblical hope is biblical faith in the future tense. If you are focusing on faith as a faith that something will happen in the future, it is virtually the same as biblical hope. But faith involves more than confidence that something that God has promised will happen in the future. It is that; that’s why I say hope is in faith — it’s part of what faith is. But it’s more. “Biblical hope is biblical faith in the future tense.” The main distinction between Christian faith and Christian hope is that faith is in a substantial way a trusting relationship with a person. Faith says to Christ, “I trust you, not just your promises. You are a reliable person. You are a trustworthy person.” Now, that trust may often be future-oriented. We may mean in that moment, “I trust you to keep your word about this afternoon, taking care of me.” That’s faith, and it’s hope. But in a specific moment, that trust doesn’t have to mean something future-oriented. It might mean that Christ has just said, “I died for you two thousand years ago. I bore your sins, John Piper, two thousand years ago. I absorbed my Father’s wrath for you two thousand years ago.” And I, listening to that, look him in the eye and say, “I believe you. I believe you. I trust you” — meaning, “What you have just said about the past I believe.” Hope doesn’t say that. Of course, that has massive implications for future life, right? But faith isn’t only future-oriented; it is person-oriented in a significant way. And the mark of the relationship with the person is trust — a receiving, treasuring trust. But beyond this distinction, the Bible presents hope in God and faith in God in ways that are scarcely distinguishable. Tasting Coming Joy For example, when Psalm 42 says, “Hope in God,” I have leaned on this in my discouragement so many times. “Hope in God, John Piper. You shall again praise him, your help and your God.” That act — what the psalm is calling me to do — of hoping in God in the midst of my trouble is hardly distinguishable from trusting God. Hope in that psalm is, I would argue, virtually identical to faith in God as it relates to the future. Now, Hebrews 111 is the place where we see this interweaving of faith and hope as close as they get, perhaps. It says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for.” And, yes, I do think substance rather than assurance is the most helpful, accurate translation. That would require another podcast to give a reason for why that is and how the word hypostasis is used elsewhere in Hebrews. That’s another issue, but just go with it for now. I think that’s the right translation. Here’s what I think it means. It speaks “of things hoped for.” In other words, there’s a reality in the future that God has promised and, in some measure, has revealed to us as precious — worth living for, worth dying for. And we are hoping to obtain it. That is, we have strong confidence that God will grant us this great blessing of experiencing fully what we are now hoping for in the future. “Faith is the experience of the substance of future reality known, believed, tasted, and cherished now.” Now, Hebrews 111 says that the substance of that future thing hoped for — that future reward or blessing — some substantial, essential element of it is experienced now in what he calls faith. Faith is the experience of the substance of that future reality known, believed, tasted, and cherished now. Let me illustrate that with Hebrews 122. The writer says, “Jesus . . . for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame.” So God has assured Jesus that on the other side of the cross, on the other side of suffering and death, there would be a great joy to inherit. He could see it just over the horizon, and he hoped for it. And in that sense, it was one of those things hoped for from Hebrews 111. I would argue that in the garden of Gethsemane, and even on the cross, Jesus was sustained — he endured — by tasting already the substance of that thing hoped for. He tasted something of that future joy that was set before him. And Hebrews 111 calls that experience faith. So, I would say in Hebrews 111 it is virtually impossible to completely distinguish faith and hope. The one is part of the other. Faith and Hope Forever Let’s look at one last text to show how close faith and hope are in the New Testament. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 56–7, “We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight.” So one dimension or element of faith is that it embraces as real things you can’t see — like the risen Lord Jesus. And Paul says, “We are away from the Lord. He’s in heaven; we’re on earth. We can’t see him. But though we can’t see him, we love him. We trust him.” We walk by faith, not sight. But that does not mean that when we do see him face-to-face at the second coming, we won’t walk by faith anymore. Only one dimension of faith is replaced by sight. Not every dimension of faith is replaced by sight. We will still trust him in heaven. We will still feed on him as the living bread in heaven. And the same can be said of hope. We walked by hope and not by sight. And yet, when sight is finally gained, not all hope will disappear. Heaven will forever be a place of faith and a place of hope because there will always be a future in heaven, a future to hope for, and there will always be Christ to trust. He will always be the feast of our hearts. In summary, then, hope is faith in the future tense. And everything that can be said about hope biblically can be said of faith. But faith is more than hope because it involves trust in a person, which may have a backward dimension as well as a forward dimension.

Beginyour email with a bit of small talk. Make sure it’s personal and meaningful. For instance, “How are things in New York? I hope you’re keeping cool this summer.”. Or, “Hey, it’s Friday! I hope you have fun plans for the weekend.”. This approach is best if you’re familiar with the recipient, even if just through email.

ï»żWhat happens when someone decides to say, “yes,” to God’s kind invitation to become His Romans 24? We trust He has been at work in the sinner’s heart because it is the Father Who draws men to the Lord Jesus John 644. Since God loves us, He sent Jesus to save us from our sins John 316, and we love Him with reason; we love [Him] because He first loved us 1 John 419. When a sinner is saved from spiritual death, faith, hope, and love are involved, with faith and hope being a simultaneous work in the sinner’s heart. At true conversion, a person makes a 180 degree turn from a willful, sinful life. This does not mean people will never sin that won’t happen until heaven, but it does mean they do their utmost to obey and follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who now indwells and hope both involve trust. They both hinge on the trustworthiness of the person or object of an individual's core belief. When we drive a car, both are relevant; we have faith the car will transport us safely to our destination and we also hope no one crashes into us or us into them.At the moment of conversion, just about everything changes; we’re still here on earth, but our worldview and reason for living are new Acts 1728. It’s a hard road for us to get to the point of asking Jesus to be our Lord and Savior, but the moment of accepting Him is supernatural simplicity when the person praying is sincere. To pray to receive Jesus as Lord means acting in faith and with hope. We have faith He can save us, and we hope because of what He has done, is doing, and will do. The tandem nature of this is evident in Scripture Romans 52, Galatians 55, Colossians 121-23, 1 Peter 121.With God, our faith and hope are in the only One we can trust for eternal life. And due to His perfect, loving nature, we love Him as our hope and faith Thessalonians 12-4 emphasis added gives us a great summary of the relationship between faith, hope, and love. “We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.” Faith involves work. It is never just faith; it is a noun that carries a verb that promotes its work keep, display, have. Love is an active verb. When we love someone, it is never passive; it always involves doing. When we consider the Father’s love, it manifested itself in the giving of Jesus John 316 and in adopting us as His children 1 John 31. Our patience of hope is built on Christ’s righteousness and promises Titus 211-14, 1 Peter 26. Hope is looking forward to and expecting something good. For the Christian, our hope is in God’s promises. Hope enables our faith and love to endure, and our faith in Christ drives us to obey His commands in love, which endures because of the hope He gives Is the Context of 1 Corinthians 13?The first letter to the Corinthian church has much to do with discipline within the body of believers, as Paul addresses conflicts in which they were involved. Corinth, located in the Roman province of Achaia, was infamous for its corruption. A number of the Corinthian believers were formerly involved in the local debauchery, and some were still embroiled in its wretched sin. They chose the worldliness of the culture over following the tenets of their new faith, and this caused divisions in the church. Paul addressed sexual sin, improper worship, spiritual gifts, and he highlighted the resurrection of Jesus chapter 15. As he made his case throughout the epistle, Paul, in chapter 12, expanded on the spiritual gifts and the necessary unity within the Christian body regarding the reception and use of the gifts. In Galatians 522-23, Paul speaks of the fruit of the Spirit, which those in the Corinthian church sorely needed love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. His argument to the Corinthians is Why have any spiritual gifts if they are exercised without love? Love is defined as the righteous and active pursuit of the well-being of another. Love is God’s highest value ethic, and He expects it to permeate the church. God provides believers with gifts for individual expressions of love which effectively edifies and seeks the spiritual well-being of the Does the Bible Say about Faith, Hope, and Love?The preeminent chapter which has the three together is 1 Corinthians 13. In this chapter, Paul continues his discourse from chapter 12, prioritizing the characteristics that should must govern every Christian’s life. One may have various gifts, but if he does not have love, his gifts are moot—meaningless and unproductive vv. 1-3. Love is the greatest gift, and chapter 13 is often called The Love Chapter. Many wedding vows contain the passage which includes verses 4-13. Verse 13 says, “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” To have them stated concurrently brings a greater emphasis on how they are to work together. 1 Thessalonians 58 adds to that by telling us to put on the “breastplate of faith and love” and the hope of salvation is our Is Love the Greatest of These?God made an object lesson of faith, hope, and love when He told Abraham to sacrifice, “your son—your only son, Isaac, whom you love” Genesis 221-16. Abraham displayed his faith in God with his immediate, without question, obedience to the Lord. This is the first time the word “love” is used in the Bible, and it is a presage of God giving, “His one and only Son” John 316. We are further enlightened about Abraham’s faith and hope in Hebrews 1117-19, where the author says, Abraham concluded that “God was able to raise him [Isaac] up, even from the dead, from which he received him in a figurative sense.” Through it all, love overwhelmed each act of is mentioned 278 times in the ESV version of the Bible. Hope? 151 times. Love trumps them both, being mentioned and commanded at points 551 times in 505 is the driving force which caused Jesus to come and “put on flesh” for us and to testify to the truth” John 1837.Galatians 514 tells us all the law is fulfilled in love, just as Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our mind, and all our strength Deuteronomy 65, Mark 1230 and to love our neighbors as Bible tells us God is love 1 John 48, 16. It does not say God is faith. It also does not say God is hope. Faith and hope are a result of God’s love for us. Scripture does say, however, all our faith and hope may be found in Him, for only in Him and the atoning work of Jesus may we have faith 1 Peter 121, Ephesians 616.Why, then, is love the greatest of “these?”God has entrusted us with a divine faith in which we experience heavenly love, looking toward eternal hope in Christ Jesus.
