ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to connect ‘agape’spirituality of Jesus in the gospel of John with pastoral counseling. The scope of this study includes only John 4:1-42 because the writer cannot deal with all chapters of John. The contribution of this study is to connect Jesus’‘agape’spirituality with five issues which is needed in pastoral counseling. The issues are as follows: Firstly, active listening. Second, God’s words. Thirdly, art of ‘agape’love. Fourth, person’s reconciliation with God. Fifthly, empathy. The limitation of this study is that the writer could not find any book concerning Jesus’‘agape’spirituality and also, the writer’s spirituality could not reach that of Jesus. Because Jesus’spirituality is too high and great, the writer can not understand the highest level of Jesus’spirituality. The writer hopes that lots of scholars make a study of Jesus’spirituality in the future and thus a lot of people, especially Christians, can deeply understand his true spirituality.
