Keilahian Yesus Dalam Injil Yohanes 6:16-21 Menurut Perspektif Genre Fantastis Tzvetan Todorov

Abstract

Injil Yohanes memuat banyak kisah-kisah mujizat Yesus yang memiliki gagasan-gagasan teologis yang khusus yakni tentang Keilahian Yesus. Salah satu dari rangkaian kisah mukjizat itu adalah kisah Yesus berjalan di atas air yang terdapat dalam Yohanes 6:16-21. Kisah yang fantastis ini merupakan kejadian di luar nalar dan dapat menimbulkan polemik batiniah saat menimbang-nimbang kisah yang spektakuler. Namun, kisah mukjizat ini menarik untuk diteliti karena mengandung unsur-unsur naratif yang fantastis. Itulah sebabnya penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode hermeneutik fantastis yang diusung oleh Tzvetan Todorov untuk menggali makna teks di balik kisah mukjizat dalam Yohanes 6:16-21. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan, terdapat dua perspektif dalam elemen genre fantastis yang beroperasi. Pertama, di tingkat karakter-karakter yang diceritakan sebagai aktor dalam kisah tersebut dan yang kedua, di tingkat pembaca yang bertugas menalar dan menikmati kisah tersebut. Dari kedua perspektif ini terlihat ambiguitas yang dialami oleh karakter-karakter di dalam kisah dan para pembaca kisah yang menalar dan menghayati kisah tersebut. Di sisi lain, konsep keilahian Yesus yang terlihat dalam genre fantastis dapat menciptakan suatu eskalasi iman bagi orang percaya dan pembaca Injil.

Early church hospitality-based Pentecostal mission in the religious moderation frame of Indonesia

“…The church is seemingly still struggling with doctrinal exclusivism and still finds it difficult to accept the diverse interpretations and the different theological perspectives at an extreme level, amid the passion for establishing the unity of the body of Christ. Siahaan, Siahaan and Hendra (2022) confirmed that the passion of ecumenicalism, based on the phrase ut omnes unum sint, must be articulated in a complete sense, not only calling for unity but also calling for equality. The spirit of unity, motivated by Jesus' prayer in the narrative of John 17:21, can begin to moderate religion.…”

The dialectics between the unity and diversity of the church: A jigsaw puzzle metaphor

“…Just like the three Persons of the Trinity God who are interrelated, and each is different but still equal, the church is essentially practicing and striving for the unity of the Spirit. The church, composed members and parts related to each other in diversities, does not dominate or even claims to be superior because, factually, each denomination is equal in unity (Siahaan et al 2022).…”

“…Some church denominations still consider themselves very biblical and refuse to recognise the differences as maturing or even complementing each other. The nature of non-domination in the fellowship of the trinity of God implies equality and the non-superior attitude of one denomination towards other denominations (Siahaan et al 2022). God's love for the world is an act of His hospitality, so the church must do the same, to love others with an act of hospitality.…”

“…Some churches still consider their doctrines or theology as the truest or most biblical and tend to treat different theologies as unbiblical, even judging them as cults or heresy. That motivated Siahaan et al to emphasise that the call to be united, as rooted in the phrase ut omnes Unum sint, must simultaneously call the equality (Siahaan, Siahaan & Hendra 2022). Church denominations are absolutely diverse; this is the essence of the one and wholly church, which must be recognised and understood for each denomination to respect that diversity.…”
