Maybe you are shocked by the title of this article and thought, Apa, does Jesus hate? Ora ana cara, Jesus is love and can’t hate! Uga, the Bible not only reveals the righteous love of God, Gusti Yesus, lan Roh Suci, but also what things They hate. Ing Prajanjian Lawas, we read about the things that God hates and in the New Testament, we read about the things that Jesus and the Holy Spirit hate. Jesus wasn’t a mysterious Person, but was transparent, kaya Ramane. During His walk on earth, Jesus clearly showed His people what pleased Him and the Father and the things that didn’t please Him and the Father. What does Jesus hate according to the Bible?
Are God’s ways above our ways and God’s thoughts are above our thoughts?
Some Christians are not familiar with God’s will and quote Isaiah 55:8, that God’s ways are above our ways and that God’s thoughts are above our thoughts. But these Christians overlooked (antarane liyane) two important verses, namely Isaiah 55:7 lan 1 Korinta 2:16.
In Isaiah 55:7 God talks about the ungodly (wong duraka). Mulane, Yesaya 55:8 refers to the ungodly and their (duraka) ways and their (jahat) Pikiran.
We all know that the mind of the wicked people and their thoughts do not correspond with the mind and the Pikiran saka Gusti Allah, Kang suci lan mursid. Mulane, their ways do not correspond with the ways of God.
Ing 1 Korinta 2:16, it is written that we have the mind of Christ. If we have the mind of Christ, then we know the thoughts of God and His ways.
Mulane, Christians that say that God’s thoughts are above their thoughts are not born again and don’t have the Holy Spirit abiding in them. Because God revealed to us what was hidden through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God (1 Korinta 2:7-16).
They don’t belong to God, or they have not gawe anyar pikirane karo Sabda Allah, so that they have the mind of Christ.
Because the mind of Christ thinks like the Word, acts like the Word, and lives according to the will of God, and pleases Him. So that God is exalted and glorified.
Many Christians have a wrong image of Jesus
Another thing is, that many Christians have created a wrong image of Jesus, that doesn’t correspond with the true Jesus Christ.
They consider Jesus as the Jesus of the new age. The new age Jesus is a loving wishy-washy that tolerates and approves everything and accepts everything, kalebu dosa, all because of love and peace.
But people that created this image of Jesus, don’t study the Bible and don’t know the Word. They created this image of Jesus from the doctrines and opinions of people, buku, lan film, that deviate from the Bible (Sabda Gusti).
The Bible reveals that Jesus was not a wishy-washy, who approved everything and turned with every wind.
Jesus was righteous and moved with compassion
Jesus was a righteous Man, who spoke with authority. He confronted the people with the truth and often spoke hard words, which would be considered in our time as hurtful or offensive. His hard words caused many people to turn away from Him.
Especially the people that followed Jesus for the signs and wonders. They couldn’t hear and bear the truth, kang dipangandikakake dening Gusti Yesus. Because His truth opposed their religious doctrines and customs, in which they were raised in and adhered to.
Although Jesus was a Wong kang welas asih, His love didn’t compromise and accept behavior that diametrically opposed the will of God.
Since Jesus belonged to the Kingdom of Heaven and not to the Kingdom of darkness, His love was not a human love that is self-centered and therefore revolves around Himself and people, and is based upon feelings. But the love of Jesus was a self-denying Godly love that revolves around God and to please and glorify Him and do His will on this earth.
The love of Jesus confronted God’s people and nimbali wong-wong mau mratobat and the putting away of sin. Every disciple of Jesus should walk in this same love.
The birth of the Church of Christ
After the coming of the Holy Spirit to the earth, Gereja; the Body of Christ was born. Kabeh wong, who believed in Jesus Christ, mratobat, and was baptized in water and received the Holy Spirit, became a member of the Church of Christ.
The Church is not a building, but the Church is the assembly of born again Christians, Sapa sing disandhangi karo Kristus.
You can be a member of a local church and go to church every week, but that won’t make you a member of the Church and a citizen of the kingdom of Heaven.
Even the highest education and degree can’t make you a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
You can be a pastor in a local church, but even that won’t make you a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Only by becoming born again in Jesus Christ, you can become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Ing Dina Pentekosta, the Church of Christ was born. The people that believed, mratobat, and were made righteous, and followed Jesus by keeping dhawuhipun and waiting for His promise, were filled with the Holy Spirit.
From that moment the Holy Spirit dwelled in the people, whereby man became the habitation of God; the temple of God.
Just like Jesus was the temple of God, because of God’s presence by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (menyang. Matius 26:61; 27:40, Tandhani 14:58, John 2:19-21, 1 Korinta 3:16-17; 6:19, 2 Korinta 6:16, Efesus 2:21-22).
The Church of Christ was born and received clear instructions from Jesus, Kepala Pasamuwan. The Church still receives instructions from the Word and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit reveals everything Jesus says
The Holy Spirit makes everything that Jesus says known to the born again believers that are the sons and daughters of God.
The Church obeyed the commandments of Jesus and represented and established the Kingdom of God on earth.
The born again believers that assembled together, represented and established the Kingdom of God by obeying Jesus and the Father, preaching the gospel of the truth, mratobat and the forgiveness of sin, casting out demons and healing the sick. They spoke in other tongues and the signs and wonders followed them (Matius 28:19-20, Tandhani 16:15-18, Lukas 24:47-48).
The devil’s plan to tempt and destroy the Church of Christ
The devil thought he accomplished his plan when Jesus was crucified. He thought he was rid of Jesus, Nanging dheweke salah. Instead of being rid of Jesus, he got hundreds and thousands of‘ little Christs’ in return. Saiki, his kingdom was in greater danger than before and lost more ground.
What could he do to ensure that they would not be a threat to him and his kingdom anymore? By infiltrating their mind with lies and piwulang setan, which would lead them astray. Kanthi cara iki, they would become powerless and be no longer a threat to him and his kingdom. And so the devil executed his plan.
In every generation, since the coming of the Holy Spirit, the devil did everything he could to seduce and mislead Christians and lead them astray. Dadi ngono, they would enter the path of unrighteousness (kaluputan).
Amarga kasunyatan, that many Christians didn’t take their stand and hold their ground on the living Word of God; Gusti Yesus, and didn’t submit to His will, but deviated from His will and dhawuhipun, the plan of the devil succeeded, time and time again, and the Church slowly drifted away.
This phenomenon already happened in the generation of the first apostles, as we read in the letters from Paul, John, Petrus, James, lan Yudas.
But not only the apostles wrote to the local churches and warned them, gave them instructions, lan diarani dheweke mratobat. Jesus also warned the churches and called them to repentance, when Jesus appeared to John on the Isle of Patmos.
Jesus confronted the seven Churches with their works
Not only did Jesus encourage the seven churches and told them what pleased Him, but Jesus also confronted the churches with their unrighteousness and nimbali wong-wong mau mratobat Sanalika.
They deviated and if they would not repent, Jesus would, antarane liyane, remove the candlestick out of his place.
The fabel of once saved always saved
Mulane, the preaching of ‘sapisan disimpen tansah disimpen' (eternal security) lan ing message of grace; that it doesn’t matter how you live and that you may live the way you want to live, even if you keep habitually living in sin, is one big lie of the devil!
Mesthi wae, the devil wants these messages to be believed and preached since this message means a gain kanggo kratoné. But Jesus is very clear, He can’t be more clear than His words.
Does the Church want to be prepared?
Eling, that Jesus said these things after His death and resurrection and after the coming of the Holy Spirit. Mulane, Jesus said these things in the same dispensation as we live in. Nothing has changed, except that the end is near and Jesus will soon return, and He wants to prepare His Church for His coming. Nanging pitakonan iku, does the Church want to be prepared?
Has Jesus not already removed the candlestick from many churches after all His warnings? Because many churches are seated in the dark and have no clue which way they go.
They have rejected the spiritual Compass and replaced the Compass with human intellect and philosophies of man, and try to be successful and receive eternal life. But they will not succeed, because without the spiritual Compass, they will be lost and never reach their destination.
What did Jesus hate?
Jesus hated iniquity (ora bener), as is written in Hebrews 1:8-9. Jesus the son of the living God loved righteousness but hated iniquity.
Nanging marang putra sing di ngandika, Dhampare, O Apik, yaiku ing salawas-lawase: Tetèng dadi kabeneran yaiku tekane kerajaan sampeyan. Sampeyan wis tresna marang kabeneran, lan sengit gawe piala; Mulané Gusti Allah, Malah Gusti Allahmu, Sampeyan wis njebadi sampeyan karo lenga kabungahan ing ndhuwur kancane (wong Ibrani 1:8-9)
The word unrighteousness comes from the Greek word ‘ἀνομία’ (anomie) which means wickedness, lawlessnessness, lawless deed:- kaluputan, piala, transgresseth law, transgression of law, ora bener.
Jesus was born of God and was righteous and loved righteousness.
Because Jesus was righteous and holy, which means that Jesus was set apart unto God for His service and was devoted to Him, Jesus hated iniquity (unrighteousnes)s.
Gusti Yesus ngandika: "Ora ana wong sing bisa ngladeni bendarane loro: kanggo salah siji kang bakal sengit marang kang siji, lan tresna marang liyane; utawa yen dheweke bakal nyekel sing siji, lan ngremehake liyane. Kowé ora bisa ngabekti marang Gusti Allah lan Mamon.” (Matius 6:24)
Jesus didn’t want to have any part in the works of iniquity. Because Jesus knew, who was the source of the works of iniquity.
He knew the unrighteous works came forth through obedience to the fallen angel, who is the father of the fallen man, namely the devil.
Jesus didn’t bow to the devil
Jesus didn’t bow to the devil during His walk on earth. He didn’t belong to the generation of fallen man. And because of the fact that Jesus didn’t bow for the devil and didn’t belong to the generation of fallen man, the world hated Jesus.
Jesus confronted and testified of their evil works and their sins and not everyone was pleased with that.
Jesus hated the works of iniquity, lan amarga iku, the workers of iniquity hated Jesus and rejected Jesus.
Katresnané Gusti Yésus marang Bapaké
But Jesus walked in the Godly love. And because Jesus tresna marang Gusti Allah above all with all His heart, Pikiran, jiwa lan kekuwatan, He could handle everything. No behavior or words from people could stop Him.
If Jesus would have listened to the lies of the devil and submitted Himself to the devil, by listening and obeying him, Kaya Adam, then Jesus could not have been pengganti for fallen man and Jesus could not be sacrificed.
But what a relief, that Jesus didn’t succumb to all those temptations from the devil.
Gusti Yésus nginep Obyek marang Rama. Because of His great love for God, and out of that love, He gave His life and allowed God to put the sins and iniquities of the world upon Him.
Jesus allowed what Jesus hated most and what caused Him to be separated from His Father and led to death.
Jesus hated iniquity and sin during His life on earth.
He not only hated iniquity during His life on earth but even after His death and resurrection,
Jesus made it very clear that He still hated iniquity.
Amarga ing Kitab Wahyu, Jesus mentioned twice the works of the Nicolaitans, kang disengiti dening Gusti Yesus.
Jesus not only mentioned the works of the Nicolaitans, which He hated. Jesus also mentioned the teachings of Balaam and the tolerance and doctrine of Jezebel.
The scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His Kingdom
Pétrus banjur mbukak cangkemé, lan ngandika, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Nanging ing saben bangsa wong sing wedi marang Panjenengané, lan nindakake kabeneran, ditampa karo Panjenengane (Tumindak 10:35)
In these days nothing has changed. Jesus still hates iniquity (ora bener) and doesn’t approve of it.
Jesus is not a Promoter of unrighteousness (kaluputan), but Jesus is a Promoter of righteousness.
Sawise kabeh, the scepter of His Kingdom is the scepter of righteousness.
Everyone that belongs to the Kingdom of God and in whom the Word and the Holy Spirit abides, shall have a fear for the Lord and be a promoter of righteousness and therefore walk in righteousness.
