Teologi Inkarnasi Sebagai Pola Misi Gereja Menuju “Missional Church”

2020-07-11T04:01:35+00:00

God calls humans to be His partners to carry out God's mission in this world to restore His corrupted
creations. The Biblical foundation of this call is Matthew 28: 19-20, known as the Great Commission
of Jesus Christ to His disciples. The Incarnation Theology is the pattern of God's mission: just as
God sent Jesus Christ into this world, so Jesus Christ sent the church to continue His mission.
Incarnation is very important to understand what mission is. Jesus Christ is the key to understand
God's mission. Jesus is the center and model of mission, Jesus himself is the mission of God. Through
the incarnation, Jesus introduced the Father to the church and Christians. In the New Testament, the
church is the body of Christ, therefore the mission of the church in this world must be like Christ or
be based on the pattern of Jesus' mission. The twelve disciples of Jesus saw themselves as part of the
body of Christ, thus the mission of the church was a continuation of the incarnation. The church is a
mission agent to bring shalom to those in need, to be carriers of justice and peace. Two important
things that must be done by the church-related to mission are proclamation and demonstration.
Proclamation means teaching and preaching while the demonstration is carrying out social actions and
humanitarian actions. Hospitality can be a means or reference for church toward missional church.

Church is an inseparable part of the Christian faith, Church is the reality of faith. Church becomes a
reality of faith because Christians believe in the presence of God in the Church itself. In the Church,
God exists and doing His work for the world through Jesus Christ with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The Church that we know is a fellowship of the believers that have faith in Jesus Christ, in its journey
facing so many sorrows. Church nowadays happened to exist in the reality of pluralism; religion,
culture, social situation, economy, and poverty, those all becoming issues that growing in the journey
of the Church. Those realities, specifically the poverty issue also happened in the Church. The
poverty issue is relating to the modernization dan globalization. The modernization brings so many
changes else than poverty, such as individualism, exclusivism, and secularism. And we can’t deny
that the influence of those things happened in the Church and its service.

one, also seeing it as the specific one. Especially, the main concern of Paul not only to the
understanding of the Church itself, but the problems that the Corinthians is facing. Such as flesh,
offerings, idolatry, adulterous, and the conflict inside the congregation.

Discipleship itself is not just a regular agenda or activity of Christian community that held as an
initiative of church leader or the assambly however a Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:18-
20). In the Great Commission, we can find the fundamental truth about the imperative language of

disciples. Make disciples is the priority for the followers of God and been doing it with natural way
through the lifestyle, not only with teaching, however becoming role model for many people
especially young generation. Discipleship in the Christian life suppose to be continues agenda from
age to age, and because of that discipleship suppose to be regenerate from parents to the young
generation even to the children. Discipleship is the soul of Christianity and if discipleship stop then
Christianity also will stop and that’s not what Jesus Christ want as a Head of the Church.
