Pertanyaan: 661. Mengapa Orang Samaria Menolak Yesus sebagai Mesias mereka?
Fakta bahwa Yesus telah mengarahkan wajahnya ke Yerusalem (Lukas 9:53) menyebabkan orang-orang Samaria menolaknya sebagai Mesias, karena mereka telah diajarkan bahwa Mesias mereka akan datang ke Gunung Gerizim (bandingkan Yohanes 4:20, 21). Orang-orang Samaria masih menganggap Gunung Gerizim sebagai tempat paling suci di dunia.
Question: 661. Why Did the Samaritans Reject Jesus as Their Messiah?
The fact that Jesus had set his face toward Jerusalem (Luke 9:53) led the Samaritans to reject him as Messiah, because they had been taught that their Messiah would come to Mount Gerizim (compare John 4: 20, 21). The Samaritans still consider Mount Gerizim the most sacred place in the world.
