223. Apakah pernyataan bahwa “dan telah naik ke Sorga” pada artikel keenam Kredo diambil dari Kitab Suci?
Hal itu diambil dari pernyataan Kitab Suci: Ia yang telah turun, Ia juga yang telah naik jauh lebih tinggi dari pada semua langit, untuk memenuhkan segala sesuatu. [Ef 4:10]

Kita mempunyai Imam Besar yang demikian, yang duduk di sebelah kanan takhta Yang Mahabesar di sorga. [Ibr 8:1]

224. Apakah hal itu didalam Hipostasis Allah ataukah didalam kemanusiaanNya bahwa Yesus Kristus telah naik ke Sorga?
Didalam kemanusiaanNya. Didalam Hipostasis Allah Ia selalu ada didalam Sorga.

225. Bagaimana mungkin dikatakan Yesus Kristus duduk disebelah kanan Allah Bapa, mengingat bahwa Allah ada dimana saja?
Hal itu harus dimengerti secara rohani, yaitu bahwa Yesus Kristus memiliki satu keagungan dan kemuliaan yang sama dengan Allah Bapa.

Kontakion of the Venerable John, Tone II "Seeking the highest" —
Loving the riches which cannot be stolen, O all-wise John,/ thou didst hate the riches of thy parents/and, holding the Gospel in thy hands,// thou didst follow after Christ God, praying unceasingly for us all.

INTI KEYAKINAN RASULIAH GEREJA ORTHODOX TIMUR

Sudah banyak dialog Theologis dalam hubungan membahas iman Kristiani, mulai dari pemahaman-pemahaman Keilahian, ibadah, Tradisi (Paradosis) Kudus, kehidupan setelah kematian, bahkan tentang akhir zaman.

Buku ini hendak membahas semua hal itu dalam kaitannya dengan Syahadat Nicea-Konstantinopel yang telah menjadi syahadat Gereja yang diakui universal oleh seluruh jemaat Kristiani.

Buku ini akan banyak membantu umat untuk lebih memahami akidah iman Kristiani. Dengan demikian dapat menjadi pagar bagi mereka dalam menghadapi ajaran-ajaran baru yang bertentangan dengan ajaran para Rasul Kristus.

220. Apakah juga dalam Kitab Suci Perjanjian Lama bahwa Yesus Kristus akan bangkit kembali tepat pada hari ketiga?
Nubuatan hal ini telah ditampilkan dalam kisah Nabi Yunus: Dan Yunus tinggal di dalam perut ikan itu tiga hari tiga malam lamanya. [Yun 1:17]

221. Bagaimana diketahui bahwa Yesus Kristus telah bangkit?
Para penjaga yang menjaga kuburanNya mengetahui kegentaran ini karena malaikat Tuhan mengelindingkan batu yang menutupi kuburanNya dan pada saat yang sama terjadi gempa yang dahsyat. Demikian juga para malaikat mengumumkan kebangkitan Kristus kepada Maria Magdalena dan beberapa yang lain. Yesus Kristus Sendiri selama beberapa hari setelah kebangkitanNya menampakkan Diri kepada beberapa orang: Kepada para perempuan yang membawa rempah-rempah, kepada Petrus, kepada 2 murid yang pergi ke Emaus, dan yang terakhir kepada semua rasul didalam sebuah rumah yang pintunya tertutup. Sesudah itu Ia menampakkan Diri kepada mereka selama 40 hari, dan pada suatu hari Ia disaksikan lebih dari 500 umat percaya sekaligus. [1Kor 15:6]

222. Mengapa Yesus Kristus setelah kebangkitanNya menampakkan DiriNya Sendiri kepada Para Rasul selama 40 hari?
Selama waktu itu, Ia melanjutkan mengajarkan kepada mereka misteri-misteri Kerajaan Allah. [Kis 1:3]

217. Dimanakah ditemukan kata yang kita ucapkan dalam Kredo berikutnya “Dan telah bangkit lagi pada hari ketiga sesuai dengan Kitab Suci”?
Perkataan tersebut diletakkan kedalam Kredo menurut pernyataan Surat Rasuli kepada Korintus: Sebab yang sangat penting telah kusampaikan kepadamu, yaitu apa yang telah kuterima sendiri, ialah bahwa Kristus telah mati karena dosa-dosa kita, sesuai dengan Kitab Suci, bahwa Ia telah dikuburkan, dan bahwa Ia telah dibangkitkan, pada hari yang ketiga, sesuai dengan Kitab Suci. [1Kor 15:3-4]

218. Kekuatan apakah yang terkandung dalam kata ini: “sesuai dengan Kitab Suci”?
Oleh karena ini menunjukkan bahwa Yesus Kristus mati dan bangkit kembali, secara tepat tertulis dalam nubuatan Perjanjian Lama.

219. Dimana terdapat tulisan mengenai hal ini?
Dalam pasal 53 kitab Nabi Yesaya, misalnya mengenai penderitaan sengsara dan kematian Yesus Kristus digambarkan dalam banyak cara: Tetapi dia tertikam oleh karena pemberontakan kita, dia diremukkan oleh karena kejahatan kita; ganjaran yang mendatangkan keselamatan bagi kita ditimpakan kepadanya, dan oleh bilur-bilurnya kita menjadi sembuh. [Yes 53:5]

213. Bagaimana kita memikirkan kondisi Yesus Kristus setelah kematianNya dan sebelum kebangkitanNya?
Hal ini digambarkan oleh Kidung Gerejawi: Didalam kubur secara daging, dalam Hades secara roh, sebagai Allah di Firdaus bersama-sama dengan si pencuri, dan diatas Takhta, Oh Kristus, bersama dengan Sang Bapa dan Sang Roh Kudus, memenuhi segala sesuatu, Engkau yang tak dapat dibatasi.

214. Apakah yang dimaksud dengan Hades (Neraka)?
Hades adalah kata Yunani yang artinya suatu tempat yang hampa cahaya. Dalam keTuhanan, sebutan itu dipahami sebagai suatu penjara rohani, suatu kondisi bagi roh-roh yang terpisah oleh dosa dari pandangan wajah Allah dan dari cahaya dan kepenuhan berkat yang dianugerahkan. [Yud 1:6][Octoich.Tom.V.Sticher.II.4]

215. Mengapa Yesus Kristus turun ke Neraka?
Untuk mengakhiri keberadaanNya disana dan mengumandangkan kemenanganNya atas kematian, serta melepaskan roh-roh yang telah menunggu kedatanganNya dengan iman.

Thou didst descend from on high, O Merciful One! / Thou didst accept the three-day burial to free us from our sufferings! / O Lord, our Life and Resurrection: glory to Thee!

Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone VIII —
For our sake Thou wast born of the Virgin / and did endure crucifixion, O Good One, / destroying death by death. / Revealing the resurrection as God, / do not despise the work of Thy hand. / Reveal Thy love for man, O merciful One, / and accept the Theotokos praying for us, / and save the despairing people, O Savior.

Kontakion of the Sunday, Tone VIII —
By rising from the tomb, Thou didst raise the dead and resurrect Adam. / Eve exults in Thy Resurrection, / and the world celebrates Thy rising from the dead, O greatly Merciful One!



Synaxis of St. John the Baptist, Troparion, Tone II —
The memory of the righteous is celebrated with hymns of praise, but the Lord's testimony is sufficient for thee, O forerunner. Thou wast truly shown to be more honorable than the prophets, in that thou wast counted worthy to baptize in the streams Him Whom thou didst proclaim. Wherefore, having suffered, rejoicing, for the truth, even unto those in hades didst thou proclaim God, Who had manifested Himself in the flesh, Who taketh away the sin of the world, and granteth us great mercy.

Theophany of our Lord, Troparion, Tone I —
When Thou, O Lord, wast baptized in the Jordan,/ the worship of the Trinity was made manifest;/ for, the voice of the Father bare witness unto Thee,/ calling Thee His beloved Son;/ and the Spirit in the form of a dove/ confirmed the certainty of His word./ O Christ our God, Who hast appeared and enlightened the worlds,// glory be to Thee!

Kontakion of the Feast, Tone IV —
Thou hast appeared today to the whole world,/ and Thy light, O Lord, hath been signed upon us/ who hymn Thee with understanding./ Thou hast come, Thou hast appeared,/ the Light unapproachable.

Kontakion of the Forerunner, Tone VI —
Stricken with awe by Thy coming in the flesh, the Jordan turned back in fear; and John, fulfilling the prophetic ministry, shrank back with trembling. The ranks of the angels were amazed, beholding Thee baptized in the flesh in the streams, and all who were in darkness were enlightened, hymning Thee Who hast appeared and illumined all things.

Liturgi Suci Peringatan Ephifani

Shalom Aleikhem be shem ha-Massiah

Maha Besar Allah Kita, Aghios Triados yang melimpahkan segala Rahmat-Nya pada kita.
Warta Gereja :
Liturgi Suci Peringatan Ephifani tahun ini akan diselenggarakan pada :
Hari/Tanggal : Sabtu, 19 Januari 2013
Jam : 08.00 WIB (Liturgi Suci dan Pemberkatan Air)
Tempat : Kapel gereja Orthodox Indonesia, St. Iona (Yunus) dari manchuria Surabaya, Jl. Dharmahusada Indah Selatan IV/37, Blok D-126 Surabaya
Mengharap kehadiran Umat Orthodox, Para Katekumen dan Simpatisan pada Ibadah Peringatan Ephifani ini.

Ephifani (Rusia: Крещение) adalah perayaan pembaptisan Almasih (Kristus) atau pernyataan/penampakan (Tajjali) ke-Tritunggalan Allah didalam Wahyu kepada Kristus.Peringatan ini jatuh pada 12 hari setelah Natal (Untuk Kalender masehi jatuh pada tanggal 19 januari). Saat Baptisan terjadi, turunlah Roh Kudus (dilambangkan dengan turunnya merpati yang menghinggapi Yesus... dan Suara dari langit yang terbuka(perwujudan Sang Bapa, Allah Sang Khalik). Langit merupakan lambing Dzat hakekat Allah Sang Bapa yang Kekal, dan Roh Allah keluar dari Sang Bapa (Yoh 15;26).
Hal lain yang penting dari pesta peringatan ini adalah pada peristiwa Ephifani rencana keselamatan oleh penebus alam semesta digambarkan melalui masuknya Almasih (Yesus) ke dalam air sungai Yordan. Karena air adalah asal semesta (2 Pet 3:5), sehingga dengan masuk ke dalam air, DIA mengadakan penyucian semesta melalui asalnya kehidupan yaitu AIR. Itulah sebabnya sejak jaman gereja mula-mula ada ritual pembuatan air suci atau penyudian air saat perayaan Ephifani ini.
Perayaan Ephifani ini dirayakan dengan sangat meriah sejak jaman kekristenan perdana terutama oleh Kekristenan Timur diseluruh dunia, melebihi peringatan Natal. Di Negara-negara Eropa Timur, sia kecil dan timur tengah, pemerintah menghadiahkan liburan Ephifani Pada Epiphany, gereja mula-mula menyucikan air dari sumber alami, seperti mata air. Biasanya saat peringatan ini diulakukan pembaptisan besar-besaran untuk para umat baru. Sebagian penganut Kekristenan timur juga memiliki tradisi lama untuk membawa pulang air suci ini, yang diyakini memiliki sifat suci dan sanggup menyembuhkan. Bahkan di negara2 timur tengah dan eropa timur msh didapati tradisi umat biasanya berebutan mendapatkan air suci ini (Mirip dengan tumpeng gunungan dalam tradisi jawa). Air dimanapun seakan menjadi hal yang penting saat perayaan ini, karena dalam ritual ini, semua air di dunia diberkati hari ini dan dijiwai dengan Kuasa yang agung. Para Imam juga biasanya memberkati tempat-tempat dimana terdapat air, seperti danau atau sungai. Bahkan di daerah2 bersalju masyarakat setempat memotong lubang di es danau dan sungai, seringkali dalam bentuk salib, untuk mandi di air dingin. Para Umat yang turut dalam ritual itu dapat mencelupkan diri tiga kali di dalam air sebagai symbol menghormati Tritunggal Kudus. Secara simbolis diyakini membasuh dosa-dosa mereka dari tahun lalu, dan mengalami rasa spiritual kelahiran kembali.
Di bagian lain, ribuan umat melompat ke sungai dan danau es di seluruh Eropa timur pada hari Ephifani ini untuk mengambil salib. Para umat juga meyakini dengan berhasil mendapatkan Salib yang ditaruh di dalam sungai ini seperti dibebaskan dari roh-roh jahat. Negara-negara yang sangat meriah merayakan Hari Ephifani ini adalah Rusia, Mesir, Suriah, Libanon, India, Ukraina, Serbia, Rumania, Turki dll yang notabene merupakan Negara-negara dengan jumlah mayoritas penganut Kristen Timur.

210. Bagaimana kita dapat bersekutu dalam penderitaan dan kematian Yesus Kristus?
Kita memiliki persekutuan dalam penderitaan dan kematian Yesus Kristus melalui kehidupan dan kesungguhan iman, melalui Sakramen-Sakramen yang mana mengandung dan dimeteraikan oleh simpanan kebajikan dari penderitaan dan kematianNya, serta juga melalui penyaliban daging kita bersama hawa nafsu dan keinginannya.

Sebab aku telah mati oleh hukum Taurat untuk hukum Taurat, supaya aku hidup untuk Allah. Aku telah disalibkan dengan Kristus; namun aku hidup, tetapi bukan lagi aku sendiri yang hidup, melainkan Kristus yang hidup di dalam aku. Dan hidupku yang kuhidupi sekarang di dalam daging, adalah hidup oleh iman dalam Anak Allah yang telah mengasihi aku dan menyerahkan diri-Nya untuk aku. [Gal 2:19-20]

Atau tidak tahukah kamu, bahwa kita semua yang telah dibaptis dalam Kristus, telah dibaptis dalam kematian-Nya? [Rm 6:3]

Sebab setiap kali kamu makan roti ini dan minum cawan ini, kamu memberitakan kematian Tuhan sampai Ia datang. [1Kor 6:3]

Barangsiapa menjadi milik Kristus Yesus, ia telah menyalibkan daging dengan segala hawa nafsu dan keinginannya. [Gal 5:24]

211. Bagaimana kita dapat menyalibkan daging dengan hawa nafsu dan keinginannya?
Dengan mengekang hawa nafsu dan keinginan, serta melakukan hal-hal yang bertentangan dengan hal itu. Misalnya, ketika kemarahan mendesak kita untuk mencerca seorang musuh dan untuk menyakitinya maka kita menahan hasrat itu dan mengingat bagaimana Yesus Kristus diatas salib berdoa bagi musuh-musuhNya, demikian juga kita berdoa bagi mereka, dengan demikian kita telah menyalibkan keinginan untuk marah.


212. Apakah bukti pertama yang secara sungguh-sungguh diberikan Yesus Kristus bahwa kesengsaraan dan kematianNya membawa keselamatan bagi manusia?
Bahwa Ia bangkit kembali dengan demikian meletakkan dasar bagi kebangkitan kita yang terberkati.

207. Bagaimana Kitab Suci berbicara mengenai pelepasan hal-hal ini?
Pelepasan dari dosa: Sebab di dalam Dia dan oleh darah-Nya kita beroleh penebusan, yaitu pengampunan dosa, menurut kekayaan kasih karunia-Nya. [Ef 1:7]

Pelepasan dari kutuk: Kristus telah menebus kita dari kutuk hukum Taurat dengan jalan menjadi kutuk karena kita. [Gal 3:13]

Pelepasan dari kematian: Karena anak-anak itu adalah anak-anak dari darah dan daging, maka Ia juga menjadi sama dengan mereka dan mendapat bagian dalam keadaan mereka, supaya oleh kematian-Nya Ia memusnahkan dia, yaitu Iblis, yang berkuasa atas maut; dan supaya dengan jalan demikian Ia membebaskan mereka yang seumur hidupnya berada dalam perhambaan oleh karena takutnya kepada maut. [Ibr 2:14-15]

208. Bagaimana bisa bahwa kematian Yesus Kristus diatas salib melepaskan kita dari dosa, kutuk, dan kematian?
Bahwa Sabda Allah mengajarkan kepada kita mengenai hal itu sehingga kita dimampukan untuk menerima dan percaya dalam misteri ini, oleh perbandingan Yesus Kristus dengan Adam. Adam secara alamiah adalah kepala dari umat manusia, yang mana segala keturunan alamiah berasal darinya. Yesus Kristus, yang adalah Hipostasis Allah bersatu dengan kemanusiaan sehingga membuat DiriNya sebagai Kepala baru umat manusia Yang Perkasa, yang bersatu denganNya melalui iman. Sehingga sebagaimana Adam telah jatuh dibawah dosa, kutuk, dan kematian, demikian juga kita dilepaskan dari dosa, kutuk, dan kematian dalam Yesus Kristus. KerelaanNya menderita sengsara dan mati diatas salib bagi kita menjadi nilai yang tak terbatas dan bermanfaat sebagai kematian dari seorang yang tanpa dosa, Allah dan manusia dalam satu orang, yang adalah pelunasan sempurna bagi keadilan Allah yang menghukum kita atas dosa kita kepada kematian. Sebuah simpanan kebajikan yang tak terbatas yang mana diperoleh dari kebenaranNya, tanpa prasangka terhadap keadilan, untuk memberikan kepada kita para pendosa pengampunan dosa-dosa kita dan rahmat untuk menang atas dosa dan kematian.

Yaitu rahasia yang tersembunyi dari abad ke abad dan dari turunan ke turunan, tetapi yang sekarang dinyatakan kepada orang-orang kudus-Nya. Kepada mereka Allah mau memberitahukan, betapa kaya dan mulianya rahasia itu di antara bangsa-bangsa lain, yaitu: Kristus ada di tengah-tengah kamu, Kristus yang adalah pengharapan akan kemuliaan! [Kol 1:26-27]

Sebab, jika oleh dosa satu orang, maut telah berkuasa oleh satu orang itu, maka lebih benar lagi mereka, yang telah menerima kelimpahan kasih karunia dan anugerah kebenaran, akan hidup dan berkuasa oleh karena satu orang itu, yaitu Yesus Kristus. [Rm 5:17]

Demikianlah sekarang tidak ada penghukuman bagi mereka yang ada di dalam Kristus Yesus. Roh, yang memberi hidup telah memerdekakan kamu dalam Kristus dari hukum dosa dan hukum maut. Sebab apa yang tidak mungkin dilakukan hukum Taurat karena tak berdaya oleh daging, telah dilakukan oleh Allah. Dengan jalan mengutus Anak-Nya sendiri dalam daging, yang serupa dengan daging yang dikuasai dosa karena dosa, Ia telah menjatuhkan hukuman atas dosa di dalam daging, supaya tuntutan hukum Taurat digenapi di dalam kita, yang tidak hidup menurut daging, tetapi menurut Roh. [Rm 8:1-4]

209. Apakah kesengsaraan Yesus Kristus secara seksama diperuntukkan bagi kita semua?
Dia mempersembahkan DiriNya Sendiri sebagai korban bagi semua, menghasilkan rahmat dan keselamatan bagi semua. Namun kebaikan ini hanya bagi mereka yang dalam bagiannya oleh kehendak bebas mengenal Dia dan kuasa kebangkitan-Nya dan persekutuan dalam penderitaan-Nya. [Flp 3:10]

Kontakion of the Forefeast, Tone IV, "Thou hast appeared today" —

204. Mengapa juga disebutkan bahwa Ia dikuburkan?
Hal ini untuk meyakinkan kita bahwa Dia sunguh-sunguh telah mati dan bangkit kembali sebab musuh-musuhNya bahkan telah menjaga dan memeteraikan kuburNya.

205. Bagaimana bisa Yesus Kristus menderita sengsara dan mati kalau Ia adalah Allah?
Kesengsaraan dan kematianNya bukan dalam HipostasisNya namun dalam kemanusiaanNya, dan hal ini bukan karena Ia tidak dapat menghindarinya namun karena Ia mengizinkan kesengsaraan itu terjadi.

Ia sendiri telah berkata: Bapa mengasihi Aku, oleh karena Aku memberikan nyawa-Ku untuk menerimanya kembali. Tidak seorangpun mengambilnya dari pada-Ku, melainkan Aku memberikannya menurut kehendak-Ku sendiri. Aku berkuasa memberikannya dan berkuasa mengambilnya kembali. Inilah tugas yang Kuterima dari Bapa-Ku. [Yoh 10:17-18]

206. Dalam hal apa dikatakan bahwa Yesus Kristus telah disalibkan bagi kita?
Dalam hal ini: Bahwa dia oleh kematianNya diatas salib telah melepaskan kita dari dosa, kutuk, dan kematian.

 TROPARION


Troparion of Anysia & Melania, in Tone IV —
Having righteously accomplished the path of virtue,/ thou wast betrothed to God the Word, O revered Anysia, and thou didst contest rejoicingly. And as one made illustrious by the light of dispassion, O Melania, thou didst shine forth with the rays of virtue upon the world. And now ye both beseech Christ the Lord that He be gracious unto us.

Kontakion of Anysia & Melania, in Tone III —
Like a lamp of two lights, verily ye shine upon the Church of Christ with a mystical radiance. O Anysia, thou didst bring forth fruit a hundredfold in martyric contest, and thou, O Melania, didst shine forth in asceticism. Wherefore, ye were deemed worthy of the incorruptible and blessed life.



Troparion of the Feast, Tone IV —
Thy nativity, O Christ our God,/ hath shone forth the light of knowledge upon the world;/ for therein those who worship the stars/ have been taught by a star to worship Thee,/ the Sun of righteousness,/ and to know Thee the Orient from on high.// O Lord, glory be to Thee!

Kontakion of the Feast, Tone III —
Today the Virgin giveth birth unto the Transcendent One,/ and the earth offereth a cave to the unapproachable One./ Angels and shepherds give glory,/ the magi journey with the star.// For unto us a Child is born, the preeternal God.

198. Bagaimana kita diselamatkan oleh kehidupan Kristus?  
Dengan kita meneladani hal itu. Sebagaimana Ia katakan: Barangsiapa melayani Aku, ia harus mengikut Aku dan di mana Aku berada, di situpun pelayan-Ku akan berada. [Yoh 12:26]

199. Bagaimana hal itu terjadi bahwa Yesus Kristus disalibkan ketika ajaran dan pekerjaanNya membuat semua orang takjub padaNya?
Para tua-tua Yahudi dan ahli-ahli Taurat membenciNya karena Ia menghardik ajaran mereka yang salah dan kehidupan mereka yang jahat, mereka iri kepadaNya karena orang-orang mendengarkan ajaranNya dan melihat mujizatNya sehingga dengan demikian menghargai Dia lebih daripada mereka. Oleh karena itu mereka berdusta dan menuduhNya serta menghukumNya sampai mati.

200. Mengapa dikatakan bahwa Yesus Kristus disalibkan dibawah pemerintahan Pontius Pilatus?
Untuk memberikan tanda pada waktu ketika Ia disalibkan.

TROPARION

Martyr Juliana of Nicomedia, Troparion, Tone IV —
Thy ewe-lamb Juliana crieth out to Thee with a loud voice, O Jesus:/ "I love Thee, O my Bridegroom,/ and, seeking Thee, I pass through many struggles:/ I am crucified and buried with Thee in Thy baptism,/ and suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee;/ I die for Thee that I might live with Thee./ As an unblemished sacrifice accept me,/ who sacrifice myself with love for Thee// By her supplications save Thou our souls, in that Thou art merciful.

Troparion of the Forefeast, Tone IV —
Make ready, O Bethlehem!/ Open unto all, O Eden!/ Adorn thyself, O Ephratha!/ For the Tree of life hath blossomed forth from the Virgin in the cave./ Her womb is shown to be a noetic paradise,/ wherein lieth a divine garden,/ eating from whence we live,/ not dying like Adam.// Christ is born to raise up His image which before was fallen.

Kontakion of the Martyr, Tone III "Today the Virgin —
Rendered wholly pure by the beauties of virginity,/ and having now been crowned with wreaths of martyrdom, O virgin Juliana,/ thou grantest healing and salvation/ unto those in need and affliction who approach thy shrine, for Christ poureth forth divine grace and life everlasting.

Kontakion of the Forefeast, Tone II "Seeking the highest" —
Beholding Him Who holdeth the whole world in His hands/ wrapped in swaddling-bands in Bethlehem,/ let us offer up hymns of the forefeast to her who gave birth to Him;/ for she rejoiceth maternally,// holding the Son of God at her bosom.
