Yesus adalah Sutradara, Sekaligus Pemeran Utama

 

Islam sering kali menyerang posisi Yesus, dengan menyebut catatan Alkitab: Yesus  sebagai Nabi, Guru, Utusan, Hamba, Anak, Mati, Takut, dsb.  Tapi mereka lupa bahwa Alkitab juga menyebut Yesus sebagai Tuhan, baik secara langsung, maupun secara tidak langsung.

Apa Yang Membuat Islam Sulit Menerima Yesus ?


Yang membuat Alkitab menjadi sulit diterima Islam adalah, karena dalam pribadi Yesus ada 2 hal ini

Peradaban Yang Tinggi + Kerendahan Hati

Prayer of Confidence to Saint Anthony

 

Most holy St. Anthony, friend of Jesus, I place myself in your heavenly care. Be with me, especially in life's troubles and difficulties. Intercede before the Lord for me, so that I may confidently know I do not face my problems alone.

I join my prayers to yours, O great Saint, as I ask God to give me consolation in times of sorrow, courage when I am afraid, and healing from all the ills that afflict me.

Obtain for me from God, Most High, the grace to accept whatever is God's holy will for me and my loved ones. Strengthen my faith so that I will never despair, but always have hope in God's healing presence and power in my life. AMEN.

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work.
The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.

Sundays are, of course, the day for renewing Christ's once and for all Sacrifice during the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Because Christ rose from His tomb on Sunday, Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sundays, or "the Lord's Day." On this day we fulfill God's Third Commandment, to "remember the sabbath day [which means "rest", not "Saturday"], to keep it holy." We refrain from unnecessary servile work and fulfill our "Sunday Obligation" to attend Mass.
