ABSTRACT

Family system can be traumatic. Domestic abuse, neglect, and dysfunctional systems are main factors causing trauma symptoms in family members, and such traumas are prone to be passed from one generation to the next. Inadequate family copings to trauma, such as concealment, just-world thinking, spiritual triumphalism, are also significant factors that trigger secondary traumatization to the sufferers. In this regard, this paper argues that the triple office (minus triplex) of Christ has practical implications for creating Christlike family order, which is to de-form trauma-prone family environments, to re-form trauma-resilient family system, and to desire the Kingdom of God. In the prophetic family order, members are to change its traumatic culture to the holy, anchored on the Word of God. In the priestly family order, members can participate in a confessional and prayerful worship, reducing the destructive impacts of trauma to the next generations and confronting the nature of trauma, without hiding or defending it. In the royal family order, members hand over their right to God's sovereignty and create a new way of life driven by God's vision for his kingdom, serving the public society and the church.
