Psalm 115:3 (Mazmur 115:3)
But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatever he has pleased.

Kita sering bertanya ttg tindakan Tuhan, tapi Dia tidak pernah berkewajiban utk menjelaskan alasan2Nya. Adalah cukup itu mengetahui kalau itu menyenangkan hatiNya, karena apapun yang Dia lakukan adalah benar secara definisi. Contohnya, pertanyaan Kenapa Allah menciptakan dunia?? Kita hanya bisa menjawab secara singkat,
Revelation 4:11 (Wahyu 4:11)
You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.
Psalm 135:6
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
Dia tidak perlu memberikan alasannya kepada kita, karena kita pun diciptakanNya utk memuaskanNya. Mengapa Dia membiarkan AnakNya utk menderita dan mati di kayu salib??
Isaiah 53:9
Although "He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him" and to "make His soul an offering for sin," knowing that eventually "the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand"
Although "He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him" and to "make His soul an offering for sin," knowing that eventually "the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand"
Kita mungkin tidak akan pernah mengerti mengapa Tuhan melakukan hal ini, terutama utk pendosa seperti kita, tapi kita tidak harus mengerti.
1 Corinthians 1:21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. not them that understand.
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. not them that understand.
Kita dapat yakin kalau Tuhan punya alesan sempurna utk segalanya yg Dia lakukan, dan mungkin kita akan mengertinya dalam kekekalannya kita. Tapi sekarang, kita hanya simply berterimakasih karena adalah menyenangkanNya utk memanggil kita sebagai anak2Nya, utk menyatakan AnakNya kepada kita sebagai anugerah. Dan itu telah cukup utk kehidupan sekarang ini Amin
