Nov 15【每日活水】信靠打开赎罪之路的耶稣

 

希伯来书9:1~10

地上和天上的圣所

原来前约有礼拜的条例和属世界的圣幕。 
因为有预备的帐幕,头一层叫作圣所,里面有灯台、桌子,和陈设饼。 
第二幔子后又有一层帐幕,叫作至圣所, 
有金香炉,有包金的约柜,柜里有盛吗哪的金罐和亚伦发过芽的杖,并两块约版; 
柜上面有荣耀基路伯的影罩着施恩座。这几件我现在不能一一细说。
这些物件既如此预备齐了,众祭司就常进头一层帐幕,行拜 神的礼。 
至于第二层帐幕,惟有大祭司一年一次独自进去,没有不带着血为自己和百姓的过错献上。 
圣灵用此指明,头一层帐幕仍存的时候,进入至圣所的路还未显明。 
那头一层帐幕作现今的一个表样,所献的礼物和祭物,就着良心说,都不能叫礼拜的人得以完全。 
10  这些事,连那饮食和诸般洗濯的规矩,都不过是属肉体的条例,命定到振兴的时候为止。

Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle

Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. 
A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place. 
Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, 
which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. 
Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 
But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. 
The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. 
This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 
10  They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

 

内容观察

1.旧约时代的第一个约也有什么?(1节)

2.祭司进入圣所和至圣所中做什么?(6~7节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.为什么第一层帐幕仍存在的时候,进入至圣所的路还没有显示?
 

个人感受

4.看到在耶稣为我们打开通往神的道路之前,必须由大祭司一年一次进入至圣所献祭,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我在礼拜时,是否注目在其他事物上,超过敬拜神和遇见神?

6.为了将面临的问题全然交托给耶稣,我决定要怎么做?

第一层(2节):指圣幕的外室“圣所”,其中摆放有灯台、供桌和供饼。
至圣所(3节):幔子之后摆放约柜的场所。
施恩座(5节):指约柜的盖子,象征神的同在,大祭司一年一次在上面洒赎罪祭的血,为人民赎罪。
属肉体的条例(10节):指摩西律法中的饮食和洁净规定。

灵修指南

希伯来书的作者面对当时犹太基督徒在逼迫之下回到先前信仰的状况,论到犹太教的核心——圣幕存在目的。圣所里有灯台、供桌和供饼,幔子后的至圣所中有约柜,约柜里有盛吗哪的金罐、亚伦发芽的杖和两块约版。祭司不断地进人圣所全心行祭礼,唯有大祭司一年一次独自进入至圣所,冒着生命的危险为自己和百姓的罪愆献祭。然而,旧约的祭并不会带来罪的完全赦免,所以需要每年反复地献祭。这帐幕和礼仪一直行到耶稣来到、为百姓的罪一次献上、打开了通往神的道路为止。如今,我们要信靠的不是眼前的行为和努力,而是为我们打开赎罪之路,带下永恒生命的耶稣。盼望我们今天也信靠耶稣的十字架和祂的救恩,仰望祂而活。
 

内室祷告

愿我单单靠着福音的大能,而非自己的努力,得着生命的更新。
