Sabat dan Sikap Eskapis: Analisis Struktur Ibrani 4:1-16

Abstract. The Sabbath is a topic that continues to receive attention in Christianity. However, it also becomes a continuing source of debate its practical application. The Sabbath often turns to mere escapism, which is, having time for oneself. Therefore, through an exegetical-expositional method—a thorough analysis of the structure of the Epistle to Hebrews 4—this research presents the biblical basis for entering the Sabbath. The structural analysis in this study showed that the entire letter to Hebrews 4 is an inseparable series. Hebrews 4:1-11 shows that the Sabbath is God's promise that is... Mehr ...

Abstract. The Sabbath is a topic that continues to receive attention in Christianity. However, it also becomes a continuing source of debate its practical application. The Sabbath often turns to mere escapism, which is, having time for oneself. Therefore, through an exegetical-expositional method—a thorough analysis of the structure of the Epistle to Hebrews 4—this research presents the biblical basis for entering the Sabbath. The structural analysis in this study showed that the entire letter to Hebrews 4 is an inseparable series. Hebrews 4:1-11 shows that the Sabbath is God's promise that is still progressively valid. Verse 12-13 emphasizes the role of God's word as the basis for entering the resting place, and verse 14-16 suggests the significance of the High Priest, Jesus Christ, who is the intermediary for entering the resting place. With these three biblical foundations, the Sabbath is no longer an escapism but a momentum to entering God’s own rest. Abstrak. Sabat merupakan topik yang terus mendapat perhatian di dalam Kekristenan. Namun, Sabat juga terus menjadi sumber perdebatan pada penerapan praktisnya. Seringkali Sabat juga hanya menjadi sekadar eskapisme, yakni waktu bagi diri sendiri. Karena itu, melalui metode eksegetikal-eksposisional – analisis menyeluruh pada struktur Surat Ibrani 4 – penelitian ini hendak menyajikan landasan biblis untuk memasuki Sabat. Analisis struktur dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keseluruhan surat Ibrani 4 merupakan rangkaian yang tak terpisahkan. Ibrani 4:1-11 menunjukkan bahwa Sabat sebagai hari perhentian merupakan janji Allah yang masih berlaku secara progresif. Sementara Ibrani 4:12-13 menekankan peran firman Allah sebagai landasan untuk memasuki tempat perhentian, dan Ibrani 4:14-16 mengemukakan mengenai peran Imam Besar yaitu Yesus Kristus yang menjadi pengantara untuk memasuki tempat perhentian. Dengan ketiga landasan biblis ini, maka Sabat tidak lagi sekadar menjadi eskapisme, tetapi menjadi momentum untuk memasuki perhentian Allah sendiri.
