Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi ulang makna awal teologi Sabat berdasarkan narasi penciptaan, serta perkembangan Sabat pada saat pemberian Hukum Taurat, dan pada masa kehidupan Yesus. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk menemukan makna kerja dan istirahat yang dimaksudkan Allah pada hari Sabat. Kajian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pemahaman umum yang cenderung memaknai Sabat sebagai larangan bekerja, kewajiban beristirahat atau kewajiban beribadah, sehingga dimensi teologis yang mendasarinya sering kali tidak sesuai pada makna awalnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan narasi biblika terhadap Kejadian 2:1–3, Keluaran 20:8–11, serta narasi konflik Sabat dalam konteks masyarakat Yahudi abad pertama (Mat. 12:15a). Analisis dilakukan melalui penelaahan untuk menelusuri asal mula teologi Sabat dari penciptaan hingga pelayanan Yesus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa makna Sabat pada mulanya tidak dimaksudkan sebagai penghentian aktivitas kerja, melainkan sebagai ekspresi perkenanan Allah terhadap ciptaan yang telah mencapai kondisi yang sesuai dengan maksud-Nya. Namun, keadaan tersebut berubah setelah kejatuhan manusia ke dalam dosa yang mengakibatkan rusaknya pada tatanan ciptaan sebelumnya. Dalam konteks ini, kondisi yang menjadi dasar Sabat atau istirahat Allah dipandang mengalami kerusakan karena ciptaan tidak lagi berada dalam keadaan yang dinyatakan “sungguh amat baik.” Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa konflik Sabat pada masa Yesus muncul ketika penekanan terhadap makna Sabat berdampak pada regulasi pekerjaan sehingga menggeser tujuan teologis Sabat yang semula. Oleh karena itu, teologi Sabat perlu dipahami sebagai panggilan Allah melalui ketaatan dan kehidupan yang berkenan kepada-Nya.
