Oct 24【每日活水】得救是 SHEN 无价的恩典

 

出埃及记19:1~15

以色列人在西奈山
1 以色列人出埃及地以后,满了三个月的那一天,就来到西奈的旷野。 
2 他们离了利非订,来到西奈的旷野,就在那里的山下安营。 
3 摩西到  SHEN 那里,耶/和/华从山上呼唤他说:「你要这样告诉雅各家,晓谕以色列人说:
4『我向埃及人所行的事,你们都看见了,且看见我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上,带来归我。 
5 如今你们若实在听从我的话,遵守我的约,就要在万民中作属我的子民,因为全地都是我的。 
6你们要归我作祭司的国度,为圣洁的国民。』这些话你要告诉以色列人。」
7 摩西去召了民间的长老来,将耶/和/华所吩咐他的话都在他们面前陈明。 
8百姓都同声回答说:「凡耶/和/华所说的,我们都要遵行。」摩西就将百姓的话回复耶/和/华。 
9 耶/和/华对摩西说:「我要在密云中临到你那里,叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以听见,也可以永远信你了。」于是,摩西将百姓的话奏告耶/和/华。
10 耶/和/华又对摩西说:「你往百姓那里去,叫他们今天明天自洁,又叫他们洗衣服。 
11 到第三天要预备好了,因为第三天耶/和/华要在众百姓眼前降临在西奈山上。 
12 你要在山的四围给百姓定界限,说:『你们当谨慎,不可上山去,也不可摸山的边界;凡摸这山的,必要治死他。 
13 不可用手摸他,必用石头打死,或用射透;无论是人是牲畜,都不得活。到角声拖长的时候,他们才可到山根来。』」 
14 摩西下山往百姓那里去,叫他们自洁,他们就洗衣服。 
15 他对百姓说:「到第三天要预备好了。不可亲近女人。」
At Mount Sinai
1 On the first day of the third month after the Israelites left Egypt—on that very day—they came to the Desert of Sinai. 
2 After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain.
3 Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 
4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 
5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 
6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak. 
8 The people all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.
9 The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes 
11 and be ready by the third day, because on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 
12 Put limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful that you do not approach the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the mountain is to be put to death. 
13 They are to be stoned or shot with arrows; not a hand is to be laid on them. No person or animal shall be permitted to live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”
14 After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes. 
15 Then he said to the people, “Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.”
 

内容观察

1. SHEN 透过摩西对以色列人说了什么话?(5~6节)

思考与默想

 

3. SHEN 为什么要以色列人作祭司的国度、 SHEN 圣的国民?
 

个人感受

4.以色列人得以成为 SHEN 的百姓,是因着 SHEN 主权性的拣选和无条件的恩典,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾夸耀自己的功劳、知识和行动,胜过 SHEN 的恩典?

6.为了回应 SHEN 救/赎的恩典,以及活出 TA 所托付的使/命,我决定要怎么做?

如鹰将你们背在翅膀上(4节):就像鹰用翅膀保护幼崽一样, SHEN 也会全然保护 TA 的百姓。
在万民中作属我的子民(5节):属 SHEN 意味归 SHEN 所有,是 SHEN 宝贵的产业。

灵/修指南

以色列人出埃及三个月之后,到达了西奈山(1~2节)。 SHEN 透过摩西审判了埃及,拯救了以色列人,如鹰将他们背在翅膀上,保护并带领他们(3~4节)。这是因为 SHEN 拣选了以色列人,又和他们的祖先亚伯拉罕立了约。 SHEN 白白地让以色列人成为 TA 的选民,使他们成为祭司的国度和 SHEN 圣的国民(6节),即使他们全然不具备成为 SHEN 选民的资格和条件。然而,既然 SHEN 的百姓蒙了如此大的恩典,就当听从 SHEN 的话,遵守 SHEN 的约。因果报应的思考方式,常让 SHEN 的百姓怀疑 SHEN 的恩典;然而,若是依照因果报应的道理,我们绝对无法得救。我们务要记得:成为 SHEN 的百姓,是因为 SHEN 无条件的恩典。如今我们作为蒙恩得救的 SHEN 百姓,就应当顺从 SHEN 的话语而活。
 

内室dao告

愿我铭记 SHEN 的救/恩,顺从 TA 的话语而活。
