Nov 07【每日活水】遵循 SHEN 的话,传扬 TA 的恩典

 

出埃及记 24:1~11

立约的凭据
1 耶/和/华对摩西说:「你和亚伦、拿答、亚比户,并以色列长老中的七十人,都要上到我这里来,远远地下拜。
2 惟独你可以亲近耶/和/华;他们却不可亲近;百姓也不可和你一同上来。」
3 摩西下山,将耶/和/华的命令典章都述说与百姓听。众百姓齐声说:「耶/和/华所吩咐的,我们都必遵行。」
4 摩西将耶/和/华的命令都写上。清早起来,在山下筑一座坛,按以色列十二支派立十二根柱子,
5 又打发以色列人中的少年人去献燔祭,又向耶/和/华献牛为平安祭。
6 摩西将血一半盛在盆中,一半洒在坛上;
7 又将约书念给百姓听。他们说:「耶/和/华所吩咐的,我们都必遵行。」
8 摩西将血洒在百姓身上,说:「你看!这是立约的血,是耶/和/华按这一切话与你们立约的凭据。」
9 摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户,并以色列长老中的七十人,都上了山。
10 他们看见以色列的  SHEN ,他脚下仿佛有平铺的蓝宝石,如同天色明净。
11 他的手不加害在以色列的尊者身上。他们观看  SHEN ;他们又吃又喝。
The Covenant Confirmed
1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. You are to worship at a distance,
2 but Moses alone is to approach the Lord; the others must not come near. And the people may not come up with him.”
3 When Moses went and told the people all the Lord’s words and laws, they responded with one voice, “Everything the Lord has said we will do.”
4 Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said.
He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars representing the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Then he sent young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings to the Lord.
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he splashed against the altar.
7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, “We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey.”
8 Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.”
9 Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up
10 and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky.
11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
 

内容观察

1.以色列人听完摩西传达 SHEN 的命令和典章之后,作何反应?(3节)

2.摩西、亚伦父子及以色列的长老,在 SHEN 面前怎么做?(11节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.摩西、亚伦父子和以色列的长老,为什么见了 SHEN 的面却仍能存活?
 

个人感受

4.看到 SHEN 为了与以色列人立约,因而与他们的领袖面对面,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾因遵行 SHEN 的话而得享 SHEN 的恩典?

6.最近 SHEN 要我遵行 TA 的哪些教导,我决定要如何遵行?

看见了以色列的 SHEN (10节):以色列人的众领袖举行立约仪式之后,竟能得见 SHEN 的面。由于没有人可以看见 SHEN 之后还能存活(参出33:20),可见这是何等令人惊叹、无比荣耀的场合。
他们瞻仰 SHEN ,又吃又喝(11节):在古近东,人们缔结契约后一同吃喝,象征认可这份契约的价值。

灵/修指南

SHEN 宣告征服迦南的行动是属于 TA 的战争之后,百姓也从摩西听到 SHEN 所颁布的命令和典章,并表示愿意遵行(3节)。 SHEN 与 TA 的百姓相互表明心意之后,就举行洒血仪式,彼此立约(4~8节)。这时,一件令人吃惊的事情发生了:以色列的众领袖来到 SHEN 的面前,看见了 TA 的面。 SHEN 原先只允许人间接地接近 TA ,如今却赐给他们恩典能够“看见” TA 的荣耀(10节)。不仅如此, SHEN 还与他们一同吃喝(11节)。 SHEN 不将手伸在以色列领袖的身上,是因为要让他们向百姓见证:他们已经与 SHEN 立约并得见 TA 的面,又与 TA 一同吃喝。如今我们得以亲近 SHEN 却不致遭到灭绝,也是因为 YS JI DU 已经透过 TA 的宝血,为我们立下生命的新约。盼望我们也能竭力向全地宣扬 SHEN 所赐的恩典和慈爱,见证他的荣耀。

内室dao告

愿我能够天天遵行 SHEN 的话,并向全地传扬 TA 所赐的恩典。
