The recently discovered manuscript The Gospel of Judas alleges that
Jesus asked Judas to betray Him. Supposedly, Jesus hoped that His death
would free Him from this world of matter to become a pure spirit again.

There is a big problem with this ancient text. Judas could not have
written this manuscript that bears his name, since it was written long
after the time of Jesus. But because The Gospel of Judas has been newly
discovered, it provides a novelty for those who like to speculate.

Proposing a fake story to replace the New Testament account is not new.
Paul wrote, "The time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching
ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn
their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables" (2 Tim.
4:3-4).

There's a trend today to look for new theories to undermine the Bible.
In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul told us to "test all things; hold fast what
is good" (v.21). Based on the questionable content and authorship of The
Gospel of Judas, we know that it's a fable. The real gospel (good news)
lies with the apostles, who walked with Jesus and wrote down His
life-saving message in the New Testament. -Dennis Fisher

The Bible stands, and it will forever
When the world has passed away;
By inspiration it has been given-
All its precepts I will obey. -Lillenas

INJIL YUDAS
Mereka akan memalingkan telinganya dari kebenaran (2Tim. 4:4)

Bacaan: 2Tim. 4:1-5
Setahun: 2Taw. 13-14; Yoh. 12:1-26

Manuskrip yang baru-baru ini ditemukan, yaitu Injil Yudas, mengatakan
bahwa Yesus meminta Yudas mengkhianati-Nya. Menurut dugaan, Yesus
berharap kematian-Nya akan membebaskan diri-Nya dari dunia fana ini
untuk kembali menjadi roh yang mulia lagi.  

Ada masalah besar dalam naskah kuno ini. Yudas tidak mungkin menulis
naskah yang memuat namanya ini karena naskah tersebut ditulis jauh
setelah zaman Yesus. Namun, karena Injil Yudas baru saja ditemukan,
manuskrip ini memberikan sesuatu yang baru bagi mereka yang suka
berspekulasi. 

Kemunculan kisah-kisah isapan jempol yang hendak menggantikan isi
Perjanjian Baru bukanlah hal baru. Paulus menulis, "Karena akan datang
waktunya, orang tidak dapat lagi menerima ajaran sehat, tetapi mereka
akan mengumpulkan guru-guru menurut kehendaknya untuk memuaskan
keinginan telinganya. Mereka akan memalingkan telinganya dari kebenaran
dan membukanya bagi dongeng" (2Tim. 4:3,4).  

Saat ini ada tren mencari teori-teori baru untuk menghancurkan Alkitab.
Dalam 1 Tesalonika 5, Paulus meminta kita: "Ujilah segala sesuatu dan
peganglah yang baik" (ay. 21). Berdasarkan isi dan identitas penulis
Injil Yudas yang perlu dipertanyakan, kita tahu bahwa Injil Yudas
hanyalah sebuah dongeng. Injil yang sesungguhnya (Kabar Baik) berasal
dari para rasul yang menjalani hidup bersama Yesus dan menuliskan pesan
penyelamatan-Nya dalam Perjanjian Baru -HDF 

Alkitab tetap teguh sampai selamanya
Meskipun dunia berlalu dan lenyap;
Alkitab disampaikan melalui ilham Allah-
Aku mau mematuhi segala ketetapannya. -Lillenas 

MEMERCAYAI ALLAH BERARTI MEMERCAYAI FIRMAN-NYA YANG KUDUS

2Tim. 4:1-5
4:1 Di hadapan Allah dan Kristus Yesus yang akan menghakimi orang yang
hidup dan yang mati, aku berpesan dengan sungguh-sungguh kepadamu demi
penyataan-Nya dan demi Kerajaan-Nya: 
4:2 Beritakanlah firman, siap sedialah baik atau tidak baik waktunya,
nyatakanlah apa yang salah, tegorlah dan nasihatilah dengan segala
kesabaran dan pengajaran. 
4:3 Karena akan datang waktunya, orang tidak dapat lagi menerima ajaran
sehat, tetapi mereka akan mengumpulkan guru-guru menurut kehendaknya
untuk memuaskan keinginan telinganya. 
4:4 Mereka akan memalingkan telinganya dari kebenaran dan membukanya
bagi dongeng. 
4:5 Tetapi kuasailah dirimu dalam segala hal, sabarlah menderita,
lakukanlah pekerjaan pemberita Injil dan tunaikanlah tugas pelayananmu!
