“…The role of the pastor (opus dei) is to "look after" the congregation or the sheep entrusted to him by God. To maintain means to look after and take good care of, to maintain from the word (maintain), which also means endeavour; educate well; save, protect and deliver or escape from danger (Harianto et al, 2023). God calls a pastor to lead the congregation entrusted to him and not to own it.…”

As the Lord Jesus stated, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” The primary responsibility of shepherds is to serve in Matthew 20:28. The shepherd’s basic role is that of a servant; the word servant is derived from the Greek word doulos, which means slave. In this sense, the ministry of shepherding is a ministry of service; the shepherd serves as a leader, a father, a prophet, a priest, and a head for the flock or congregation that God has committed to him, in addition to being a servant or slave. As a role model for his flock or congregation, the church pastor’s role must be evident. The goal of this article is to broaden the shepherd model based on Psalm 23, which represents the functions of a Christian life. The duty of the shepherd is highlighted as we examine the identification and biblical usage of sheep and shepherds. The role of the shepherd is to care for his congregation, based on Psalm 23:3, by guiding them to the right path, besides also providing goodness and mercy (Psalm 23:6).

“…But before that Jesus had said to Peter "on this rock, I will build My church" (Matthew 16:18). Then comes the word ekklesia which means to be called out, "…as well as to live out the experience of the variety of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the sacramental life of the church" (Harianto, Metekohy, Sahertian & Ming, 2023). The Apostle Peter explained that Christians are called out of darkness into the light of God (1 Peter 2:9).…”

Christianity is not just a slogan for the Christian community, but refers to the identity of one being a disciple of Jesus Christ. As a disciple of Christ, Christians live in the midst of family, their church, the world of work and broader society. This means that the expression ‘Christianity’ represents all Christians in all ages and in all places. Christianity shows that there is indeed a unity as one is a follower of Jesus and lives according to God's will. Indeed, in the past, humans have lost the glory of God and lived in sin. But because of His grace, God in His absolute sovereignty requires that everyone must believe in Him in order to obtain eternal life. God's grace poured out upon all Christians enables them to do God's will in often vexing times. This has been the hallmark of Christianity throughout the ages, including the current era of disruption. The first, and foremost advantage of being a Christian is that one belongs to Jesus. In Him, one has eternal life, and in this world, peace and joy that is in essence beyond anything the world can offer one. In Jesus believers have hope, and have the strength to face and defeat whatever comes their way, be it illness or even death. This brief article seeks to show in a modest manner that that every era has always had its own distinct and soul shattering challenges, but God gives excellence for every Christian to be able to adjust to His divine will so that His people have a positive impact on the family, their church, the world of work and the society where God places has placed them to serve. Believers must demonstrate their faith and this refers both to the their acts of trust and to the content of their faith. The Christian faith is having confidence in Jesus Christ in his ability to bring a believer through every difficult circumstance of life. Digital media technology must be used in the propagation of the faith as it offers endless opportunities, but also challenges.

“…However, the apostle is talking about a submission which is already a decree of God that the wife should be submissive to her husband. Submissiveness means harmony, cooperation and greater influence (Harianto et al, 2023). The reference to the word submission comes from the Greek word, hupatasso which means "willing to place oneself under the authority of others" (Evans, 2018).…”

The Bible contains important teachings about the mysterious relationship between Christ and the Church, as explained in Ephesians 5:22-33. This article highlights the deep relationship between Christ and the Church and has important implications for Christian families in the Church, where teaching about the Christian family especially from Ephesians 5:22–33 is only given or preached at the time of the marriage blessing, and even that is not explained well. So it can be said that the description of Ephesians 5: 22-33 is just a routine without meaning. In Ephesians 5:22-33 the apostle Paul uses the analogy of marriage to explain the relationship between Christ and His church. He compared the relationship between a husband and wife to the relationship that exists between Christ and the church. Just as a husband is the head of his wife, Christ is the head of the church. It emphasizes the surrender of the church to the authority of Christ and the love and sacrifice Christ gave to His church. This passage emphasizes even more the sacrificial love that husbands must have for their wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for her, husbands are also called to love their wives as Christ loves and cares for the Church. This underscores the importance of selflessness, grace and devotion in a Christian marriage by each of the spouses. Ephesians 5:22-33 moderates the patriarchal view of marriage, and it re-expresses the concepts of submission and leadership in a family. The wife should always submit to her husband's authority as she would to Jesus Christ. The husband needs to always exercise his authority with love and try to imitate Christ.
