Dina Mateus 12:41-42 jeung Lukas 11:31-32, Jesus spoke about the queen of the south and the men of Nineveh. But why did Jesus refer to the queen of the south and the men of Nineveh, what did they have in common? Let’s look at what significant thing the queen of Sheba and the men of Nineveh had done, which was worth mentioning.
Who was the queen of the south?
The queen of the south was the queen of Sheba. The queen of Sheba was the one, who went to Solomon according to the Bible. (1 Raja-raja 10:1-13, 2 Kronis 9:1-12).
Why did the queen of the south go to Solomon?
The queen of the south went to Solomon to see whether the fame of Solomon concerning the Name of the Lord was true. And so she went to Jerusalem with a great train, with camels that bore spices, emas, and precious stones, to prove Solomon with hard questions.
When the queen of Sheba arrived in Jerusalem, she went to Solomon to hear his wisdom.
The queen of Sheba spoke all that was in her heart and Solomon answered all her hard questions. Nothing was too difficult and hidden for King Solomon.
Éta kusabab, God revealed all things to Solomon, whereby Solomon could explain everything and answer all the hard questions of the queen of Sheba. God kept nothing hidden for Solomon.
When the queen of Sheba heard the words of Solomon that contained the wisdom of God concerning His judgment and justice, and she saw the house that he had built, his staff, and all his possessions, there was no doubt anymore.
She believed that what she heard about Salomon concerning the Name of the Lord was true.
The queen of the south heard the word of Solomon and believed the report of Solomon concerning the Name of the Lord
The queen of the south believed that all the wisdom that Solomon spoke and all that he had done and possessed was from the Lord his God and that God delighted in Solomon to set him as king on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel forever. Therefore God appointed Solomon to be king to do judgment and justice.
Salaku hasil tina iman dirina, ratu Syeba masihan Suleman 120 bakat emas, jumlah anu kacida gedéna rempah, and precious stones. Sareng Suleman masihan ka ratu Sheba sadaya anu dipikahoyong sareng naon waé anu dipénta salian ti anu dipasihkeun ku raja ka anjeunna tina karunia karajaan.
Urang Ninewe ngadenge jeung percaya kana pangandika Yunus ti Allah
Nalika urang Ninewe ngadéngé kecap Yunus ngeunaan pangadilan Allah ka kota Ninewe., maranehna percaya yen pangandika Yunus teh ti Allah jeung pangandika-Na bener.
Urang Ninewe percaya yén Yunus diutus ku Allah sareng anjeunna nyarioskeun firman Yéhuwa.
Maranéhanana kabéh percaya yén judgment Allah bakal datang leuwih kota Ninewe sanggeus 40 poé.
Salaku hasil tina iman maranéhanana dina firman Allah, aranjeunna repented tina karya jahat maranéhanana sarta puasa before the Lord, hoping that the Lord would see their sorrow, karendahan diri, and repentance, and change His mind and save the city of Nineveh and her inhabitants.
Because the men of Nineveh heard and believed the word of Jonah as the word coming from the Lord and repented of their evil works (dosa), and God saw their sorrow and works, God showed them grace and repented of the evil and saved the city of Nineveh.
The Pharisees and Sadducees didn’t believe the word of Jesus coming from God
Sanajan kitu, iraha God sent out of love for the world His Son Jesus the Christ to the earth and gave Him His Name, His Spirit, Kecap-kecapna, sareng kakuatan, not everyone believed that Jesus was sent by God and spoke His words
Many heard about Jesus of Nazareth and went to see Him and hear His words and see the signs and wonders He did.
Sanajan kitu, sanggeus ningali Yesus, ngadangu kecap-Na, jeung ningali karya-Na, teu sadaya jelema percaya yen Isa teh diutus ku Allah jeung Anjeunna teh Kristus, utamina, éta (agama) pamingpin kulawarga Israil.
Mayoritas urang Parisi jeung Saduki ngadéngé kecap jeung doktrin-Na ngeunaan Karajaan Sawarga, kaadilan Allah, jeung judgment, jeung nempo penyembuhan jeung deliverances roh jahat, Tapi aranjeunna henteu percanten yén Yesus sumping dina nami Gusti sareng nyarioskeun kecap-kecap-Na sareng ngalaksanakeun padamelan-Na
Sanajan kecap jeung karya Yesus kasaksian jeung ngabuktikeun yén Isa diutus ku Allah jeung yén Anjeunna nyebutkeun kecap Rama-Na jeung ngalakukeun karya-Na., jelema, anu diajar dina Kitab Suci jeung sakuduna ningali jeung nyaho ka Allah jeung jadi acquainted jeung bakal-Na, henteu mikawanoh Putra-Na Yesus, éta Mésias (Kristus), jeung Kecap Hirup, sareng henteu percanten ka Anjeunna. (ka.. John 5, 6:35-40, 8:48-59, 9, 10:24-39).
Gantina percanten Yesus, aranjeunna nuduh Yesus salaku urang Samaria, gaduh setan, jeung ngalakonan karya dina ngaran Beelzebub. Aranjeunna malah disebut anjeunna Beelzebub (Pikeun. Mateus 10:25; 12:24, Tandaan 3:22, Lukas 11:15, John 7:20-30, 8:48-59, 10:20).
Maranéhna ngagoda Yésus ku cara ménta tanda
Sareng upami éta henteu nyinggung sareng cukup hina, aranjeunna ngagoda Yesus, putra Allah, ku menta tanda ka Anjeunna pikeun ngabuktikeun diri-Na. Sedengkeun Yesus geus diucapkeun jadi loba kecap jeung dipigawé jadi loba tanda jeung mujijat.
Tapi kecap-Na, jeung sagala tanda jeung mujijat maranéhanana saksi, henteu ngayakinkeun aranjeunna sareng henteu ngajantenkeun aranjeunna ningali sareng percanten ka Putra, Kecap hirup, jeung Roti ti sawarga, Kusabab aranjeunna (jelema) éta lain Allah jeung éta buta ku buta maranéhanana.
Kecap Yesus kasaksian yen Allah ngutus Anjeunna
Kecap Yesus kasaksian yen Allah ngutus Anjeunna jeung spoke kecap-Na, acan aranjeunna henteu percanten. Naha aranjeunna henteu percanten? Aranjeunna henteu kagungan Allah sareng henteu terang ka Anjeunna, tapi maranehna belonged ka generasi jahat jeung adulterous. Sabab hiji generasi jahat jeung adulterous néangan sanggeus tanda.
Aranjeunna henteu percanten ka Yesus. Ku kituna, aranjeunna henteu tobat tina padamelan jahatna (dosa) tur éta henteu dibaptis dina cai.
Gantina tobat jeung dibaptis, aranjeunna nampik firman Allah sareng neraskeun kahirupan lascivious dina kareueus sareng pemberontakan ngalawan Gusti sareng henteu patuh kana firman-Na.. Kusabab éta naon kahayang maranéhanana hate jahat, nu kagolong kana generasi jahat jeung zinah. Haté pinuh ku kateupercayaan jeung kajahatan.
Yésus leuwih ti batan Suléman jeung Yunus, tapi teu sadaya jelema percaya ka Anjeunna
Sedengkeun kecap Suleman ngabujuk ratu kidul, sarta salaku hasilna manehna percaya ka Allah, sareng kecap Yunus ngayakinkeun jalma-jalma Ninewe sareng da'wahna nyababkeun aranjeunna tobat., kecap Yesus, Putra jeung gambar Allah nu hirup, henteu dipercaya ku sadayana sareng aranjeunna henteu tobat sareng dibaptis, sedengkeun Isa leuwih ti batan Suleman jeung Yunus.
Yésus leuwih ti batan Suléman jeung Yunus. Sanajan kitu, jalma éta jadi sombong, buta, jeung jahat anu maranehna teu percaya jeung tobat dina da’wah Yesus.
Ratu kidul jeung lalaki Ninewe bakal gugah dina judgment jeung ngahukum kafir
Kusabab aranjeunna henteu percanten ka Putra sareng henteu tobat tina padamelan jahatna, tapi tabah, ratu kidul jeung lalaki Ninewe bakal naek dina pangadilan jeung generasi ieu sarta ngahukum aranjeunna, Anu kagolong kana generasi jalma anu murag sareng henteu percanten kana Firman, tapi nampik Firman sareng henteu tobat. karya jahat maranéhanana (dosa) jeung teu dibaptis dina cai, tapi tabah dina dosa.
Ceuk Yésus sacara teu langsung, yén kanyataan yén maranéhanana dilahirkeun tina cikal Israil (Yakub) éta lain jaminan yén maranéhanana disimpen. Karya maranéhanana ngabuktikeun, saha anu aranjeunna percanten sareng saha anu aranjeunna lakukeun sareng henteu milik. (Baca ogé: Sora naon anu anjeun dangukeun?).
Allah remen nempatkeun Putra-Na sabagé Raja dina tahta Karajaan-Na jeung maréntah umat-Na
Ratu kidul ningali kanyaah Allah ka umat-Na urang Israil ku cara nempatkeun Suléman dina tahta Israil sareng nangtoskeun jalma-jalma kalayan kaadilan sareng kabeneran.. Sanajan kitu, loba urang Israil, kaasup tokoh agama, diliwatan ku asih Allah jeung ditolak Yesus Raja jeung disalibkeun Anjeunna.
Leungit, Seueur jalma ngaliwat kaasih Allah ku cara ngadangu tapi henteu percanten kana firman Allah sareng henteu ngaku Yesus salaku Putra sareng Mésias Allah.. Aranjeunna teu percanten kana kecap-Na, pupus, kebangkitan, jeung mahluk diangkat jadi Raja dina tahta Karajaan Allah. Ku kituna, aranjeunna henteu tobat, henteu dibaptis sareng dipinuhan ku Roh Suci, jeung teu ngalakukeun naon Yesus nyebutkeun, tapi hirup salaku musuh Allah jeung Firman-Na, salaku dunya dina dosa.
Yesus nyaéta Raja sareng Kapala Garéja
Masihan hatur nuhun ka bapa, anu diangkat ngajantenkeun urang patepang janten pintonan pusaka tina umat suci dina cahaya: Anu ngintunkeun kami tina kakawasaan gelap, sareng parantos narjamahkeun urang kana Karajaan Putra-Na anu dipikacinta: Dina saha urang boga panebusan ngaliwatan getih-Na, Malah hampura dosa
Kolosa 1:12-14
Sanggeus sagala gogoda, daya tahan, panganiayaan musuh-musuh-Na, jeung sagala moyok, sangsara, tampikan, jeung crucifixiction, Allah kacida ngaluhurkeun Putra-Na, Yesus jeung ngangkat Anjeunna jadi Raja dina tahta Karajaan-Na alatan nyaah ka umat-Na; Jamaahna, nyarita kaadilan jeung kabeneran. (Pikeun. Yesaya 9:6-7, Kolosa 1:13-18. urang Ibrani 1, Wahyu 1:5-9).
Tapi kénéh, teu sadaya jelema ngaku yen Allah saterusna (diangkat jeung disucikeun) Yesus salaku Raja, dimana Karajaan sareng Pangéran Yesus Kristus sareng kabeneran-Na henteu diakui di seueur gereja., jeung kecap-Na teu dipercaya, diturut, sarta dieksekusi. Sarta alatan éta, Iblis boga pamaréntahan bébas dina kahirupan loba sarta devours aranjeunna.
