John13:34In addition to the disclosure of the correct way, there are also several groups of our society translated it with the wrong way. For example, on the 14th, at the Warta Kota daily reported on page 1, column 1-3 "STUDENTS DEGREE SEX PARTY." In the proclamation, the perpetrators also had a party of sex and marijuana at a house in Palmerah, West Jakarta. One more example, Ariel Peter Pan, based on reports from tabloit Genie states: "on February 14, 2008 revealed the divorce with a woman who has been his wife." Should this happen in human life, where love and acceptance for others and also the couple is seen upside down? Why Moment days affection that should be addressed in a positive way and build instead be addressed in ways that distort the true meaning of love?
This question needs to be studied from several sides in order to find factors causing differences in attitude on the day of affection such moments.
I. Viewed from the side of science and knowledge and technology.
God created human beings as creatures who have the awareness. This realization pushed into creatures that could think, wills, and feels. With the human mind to explore the existing capabilities within him, and get the science and knowledge. With human free will can direct the behavior, and with human feelings and can feel happy or sad..In essence, humans can also be viewed as people who have potential. Therefore, humans tend to make a change. Widyosiswoyo opinion: "What was created by people at a time is a feeling, and intention before. Perhaps what is created at that time satisfactory to him. If not satisfactory for the time, diperbaikinya to obtain satisfaction." [1] Thus, the human civilization on earth has always experienced change over time. It is increasingly clear when humans enter into Renaisance era. This era is known as the era of enlightenment, and began in Europe in the XVII century. The movement focuses on the truths of science and intellect, the truth based on facts and laws of nature. [2] Immanuel Kant provides the theme for the century that is "Dare To Know," [3] and Newbigin describes the theme as "a call to take possession courage to think for himself, to test everything in the light of reason and conscience, even daring to ask about the traditions of the holiest. "[4]
After these times, dihasilkanlah scientific discoveries include: the science of oceans and continents, drugs, the means of communication such as telegrams, telephone, printing machines, electric generators and transformers, steam ships, trains, computers, aircraft, and many other inventions.Rapid development in the world of science and technology began to impact on human thinking patterns. What we rarely hear first place in our society (Indonesia), into a single menu on general news and often we listen to nowadays. For example: previously in our society are generally known to one of polite culture and taboos. But since the introduction of various tools produced since the days of the Renaisance, this culture began to erode. Children are the more insolent towards his parents. Conversely parents pengayom formerly known as role models and providers of children, many now turned into a giving examples of moral damage.News in the media about how science has produced many changes in the lives of our society. Changes would include all aspects of life. But whether we will become beings who blame the era?
As a living creature that has all the advantages or who in terms of human knowledge known as the creation of high-level, human beings have a responsibility towards the environment, including to each other. Responsibility that there are two, namely social responsibility, and moral responsibility.Human Beings who have social responsibilities, required him accountable to his fellow man, and to the environment. So whatever the decision, and the results generated in the process of social interaction must be accounted for.Human beings have a moral responsibility requires it to be responsible to the Lord. This responsibility should we give as long as we exist on this earth, and ultimately accountable to us in our times has been called to the conservation of nature according to His justice.Utilization of science and technology, and our results can be sikapi with and use the correct way if we look at it with the correct perspective. This term, in a world leadership in call paradimship. Authors membahasakannya as lenses. If we as a people who have a minus eyes, we should all wear spectacles min the right size, then we can see the object clearly. And it should not be viewed only from one side only, but must be intact. Thus, we can obtain a clear picture of the object. So also with affection.Many people living in this modern age, which is identical with science and technology to misinterpret the meaning of compassion. This is because they have only a superficial description of these affections.
II. Viewed from the side of the Bible.
In one moment, John 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you love one another Also. (New American Standard Bible).Jesus commanded His disciples that they love each other. If we see this command only on the phrase "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another," we might be confused. Because in general, people are familiar with these terms. Many people use it in the process of interaction with each other. Even many people use the term "love" for the purpose of manipulating others.
At that time Jesus said command "that you love one another," Jesus commanded that disciples do love action with a higher standard than that used human standards in general. These words in the original "agapate" is the word "active present subjunctive verb 2nd person plural" of the word "agapao .." This word means [5] to love, to love to have fun: God Jn 3: 16, Jesus Mark 10: 21, and to those 2 Cor 12: 15. shows the best attention to or from a model containing myang life Christian values Jn 21: 15-17. Prove or to show love for John 13:1; 1 Jn 3: 18.
Thayer defines the word "love" is Juka in connecting with someone then he became a person who openly accept the people ("), to show, with great love to, love / love greatly.See definition above, it is clear that to love someone like that is meant by Jesus in this context is a form of love and affection which is very deep and pure. Love that is so this must be addressed in a positive way, and followed up with proper measures. According to the authors, in this stage, none of us as human beings are willing to give love and pure love that way. Moreover because of the existence of our whole life has been poisoned by sin. More or less, we want to apply it sat on, we are influenced by the sinful thought patterns that, it means we can not apply it perfectly just by relying on the strength of our flesh.In the text that the writer quoted earlier, Jesus continues His periintah: "even as I have loved you, that you love one another Also." At the time we want to express our love to those around us, to parents, to the opposite sex, to our spouses, whether we have understood these words of Jesus? "Even as I have loved you, that you love one another Also."
In this advanced text, the word "LOVE" that Jesus gave was the same word with the word he used on his son before the command line. In this advanced text, Jesus reminds his disciples about his love for Jesus practiced it in their togetherness all these years. We need to know, that these students come from diverse backgrounds, attitudes, and temperaments are different. This means that they were equal to us in general, also have weaknesses here and there. But Jesus was full of love does not require students to love Him first, then HE loves them. Not so there! Jesus loves them very, and with the power of His love which is in that students may opt out of the weaknesses that.
From this text, the authors get the rhema, that the absolute requirement to be able to practice love someone properly, so he must first experience the love of Jesus. He should be well aware of how the love of Jesus to him. He must allow the love of Jesus really destroy ego enthroned in his heart, and let his love of Jesus with a sincere meet, organize, and enable him to apply that love in his life.May the love of agave, genuine love and unconditional it will help every reader to be able to experience life in the love of the truth, so that the people of God, Christian families, the church of God, our nation and restored God, and filled with LOVE which continues to flow from HOLY THRONE LORD.
