Abstract

Rich and poor are an ancient enigma as old as humanity. The Bible contains many narratives about the problem of the rich and poor. Jesus was very often in touch with the issue of rich and poor. The four canonical gospels provide many accounts of Jesus' response to the question of rich and poor. Therefore, a study of the canonical records is necessary to reveal Jesus’ partisanship, whether to the poor or the rich. This paper demonstrates this partisanship, i.e., embracing both groups where He is the meeting point. As the new body of Christ, the church continues the role of Jesus as a bridge for both groups to meet and make peace. A more extraordinary task is given to the rich to help the poor out of their poverty. Jesus offers a third way.

 

Abstrak

Persoalan kaya dan miskin adalah persoalan yang sangat tua, setua kemanusiaan itu sendiri. Alkitab berisikan banyak narasi mengenai persoalan kaya dan miskin. Yesus sendiri sangat sering bersentuhan dengan persoalan kaya dan miskin. Keempat injil kanonik memberikan banyak catatan mengenai respons Yesus mengenai persoalan kaya dan miskin. Karenanya mempelajari catatan-catatan kanonik diperlukan untuk menyingkap keberpihakan Yesus, apakah kepada kelompok orang yang miskin atau kelompok orang yang kaya. Makalah ini menunjukkan keberpihakan tersebut, yang mana adalah merangkul kedua kelompok di mana diri-Nya adalah titik temu. Gereja sebagai tubuh Kristus melanjutkan peranan Yesus tersebut yaitu menjadi jembatan bagi kedua kelompok tersebut, bukan hanya untuk bertemu tetapi berdamai. Tugas lebih besar diberikan kepada mereka yang kaya untuk membantu yang miskin keluar dari kemiskinannya. Yesus menawarkan jalan ketiga.
