Nov 16【每日活水】靠着宝血得着永远的应许

 

希伯来书9:11~28

11  但现在基督已经来到,作了将来美事的大祭司,经过那更大更全备的帐幕,不是人手所造,也不是属乎这世界的;
12  并且不用山羊和牛犊的血,乃用自己的血,只一次进入圣所,成了永远赎罪的事。
13  若山羊和公牛的血,并母牛犊的灰,洒在不洁的人身上,尚且叫人成圣,身体洁净,
14  何况基督藉着永远的灵,将自己无瑕无疵献给 神,他的血岂不更能洗净你们的心,除去你们的死行,使你们事奉那永生 神吗?
15  为此,他作了新约的中保,既然受死赎了人在前约之时所犯的罪过,便叫蒙召之人得着所应许永远的产业。
16  凡有遗命必须等到留遗命的人死了; 
17  因为人死了,遗命才有效力,若留遗命的尚在,那遗命还有用处吗? 
18  所以,前约也不是不用血立的; 
19  因为摩西当日照着律法将各样诫命传给众百姓,就拿朱红色绒和牛膝草,把牛犊山羊的血和水洒在书上,又洒在众百姓身上,说: 
20「这血就是 神与你们立约的凭据。」 
21  他又照样把血洒在帐幕和各样器皿上。 
22  按着律法,凡物差不多都是用血洁净的;若不流血,罪就不得赦免了。
基督献己为祭除掉了罪
23  照着天上样式做的物件必须用这些祭物去洁净;但那天上的本物自然当用更美的祭物去洁净。 
24  因为基督并不是进了人手所造的圣所(这不过是真圣所的影像),乃是进了天堂,如今为我们显在 神面前; 
25  也不是多次将自己献上,像那大祭司每年带着牛羊的血进入圣所, 
26  如果这样,他从创世以来,就必多次受苦了。但如今在这末世显现一次,把自己献为祭,好除掉罪。 
27  按着定命,人人都有一死,死后且有审判。 
28  像这样,基督既然一次被献,担当了多人的罪,将来要向那等候他的人第二次显现,并与罪无关,乃是为拯救他们。
The Blood of Christ
11  But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 
12  He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. 
13  The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 
14  How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
15  For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
16  In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 
17  because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 
18  This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. 
19  When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. 
20  He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” 
21  In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 
22  In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23  It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 
24  For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. 
25  Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 
26  Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 
27  Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 
28  so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

所应许永远的产业(15节):凡信的人都将获得神国作为他们的产业。
这血就是神与你们立约的凭据(20节):一如耶稣在最后的晚餐时说的:“这杯是用我的血所立的新约”。

灵修指南

照着旧约在赎罪日献上祭物的血,并不能完全解决人类罪的问题,而耶稣基督为了更新旧约不完全且重复不断的祭,以实现美事的大祭司身份来到这个世界。耶稣为了将人类从罪中拯救出来,用自己的血一次献上了永远有效的赎罪祭。曾为罪的奴仆的人类,因着耶稣在十字架上的流血牺牲而得着救赎,脱离罪的束缚得着真正的自由。耶稣成了新约的中保,用自己的血成了信徒通往神的唯一道路,其结果是信徒将与基督一起得着所应许永远的产业——神的国(15节)。耶稣如今在神的宝座前为信徒代求(24节),我们能拥有盼望、信心和胆量,就在乎耶稣基督在十字架上所流的宝血。盼望今天我们也热切仰望耶稣,为祂在十字架上的大爱和牺牲献上感恩,也为祂的缘故活出蒙恩之人的样式。
 

内室祷告

愿我更爱耶稣,因祂为拯救我而牺牲自己,愿我活出圣洁,荣耀归主。
