希伯来书[第5章|Book of Hebrews 5【认定基督 长大成熟】
11/01/2022
引言:
在希伯来书前面的章节我们看到,耶稣和天使的对比,耶稣和摩西的对比,今天进入第五章,我们将会开始看到耶稣与祭司的对比,为的就是让当时的希伯来信徒继续看到救主耶稣基督的卓越性!今天这章经文除了再次让我们认定主耶稣,更是劝勉我们要在信仰上脱离开端,竭力地进入到长大成熟的状态!
一、认定卓越的基督 (v1-10)
1. 基督非人间挑选的大祭司 (v1-4)
透过与人间被神拣选的祭司的对比,表明基督不是人间挑选的大祭司,祂自己本身并没有罪,所以祂是不需要为自己献赎罪祭的,这就表明基督是一位完全的祭司!
2. 基督乃天上挑选的大祭司 (v5-10)
祭司都是蒙神所召的,基督也是一样,不过祂并不是在人间被选召的祭司,因为祂并不是亚伦的后裔,祂是天上拣选的大祭司,然后从天上来到地上的。所以他是按着麦基洗德的等次去永远做祭司的!
基督这位祭司虽然无罪,但祂完全顺服神献上自己,为我们成为永远的赎罪祭,成就十字架上的救恩!
所以我们要效法谦卑顺服的基督,在苦难中靠着圣灵继续坚心依靠神,呼求神,继续选择赞美,就必经历神的拯救和荣耀!
二、选择长大并成熟 (v11-14)
苦难中无法继续选择赞美?让我们开始建造自己的生命,要长大成熟,经历灵命上的突破!
不停留在信仰的开端,就是一直被喂养的阶段,要进入到自己去咀嚼消化,吸收真理,并懂得去分辨好歹的长大成熟的阶段!
总结:
认定卓越的基督,扎根在基督里,渴慕在灵里面不断地长大成熟,不止自己领受,也要开始去传递真理给身边的人!在一切艰难里效法基督的谦卑顺服,在苦难中继续选择祷告,选择赞美,必经历神的拯救和荣耀!
Hebrews 5: Acknowledge Christ, Growing Into Maturity
GK611 Morning Devotion
11/01/2022
Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
In the previous chapters of Hebrews we saw the contrast between Jesus and the angels, the contrast between Jesus and Moses, and today as we move into chapter 5 we will begin to see the contrast between Jesus and the priests, in order that the Hebrew believers of that time would continue to see the excellence of the Savior Jesus Christ! Today's chapter not only identifies us again with the Lord Jesus, but also exhorts us to break away from the beginning in our faith and to make every effort to enter into a state of growth and maturity!
1. Acknowledging The Preeminent Christ (v1-10)
(1) Christ's Non-Earthly Chosen High Priest (v1-4)
By contrasting this with the divinely chosen priests on earth, it is shown that Christ was not an earthly chosen high priest, that He Himself was without sin, and therefore He was not required to offer an atoning sacrifice for Himself, which shows that Christ was a perfect priest!
(2) Christ is the High Priest Chosen From Heaven (v5-10)
Priests are all called by God, and so was Christ, but He was not a chosen priest on earth, for He was not a descendant of Aaron, but He was a high priest chosen from heaven, and then came to earth from heaven. So He went to be a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek!
Christ, the priest, though sinless, offered Himself in perfect obedience to God to be an eternal sacrifice of atonement for us, and to accomplish salvation on the cross!
So let us follow the example of the humble and obedient Christ, and continue to rely on God steadfastly by the Holy Spirit in our sufferings, call upon Him, and continue to choose praise, and we shall experience the salvation and glory of God!
2. Choosing to Grow Up and Mature (v11-14)
Let us not stay in the beginning of faith, which is the stage of being fed all the time, but enter the stage of growing up and maturing, where we chew and digest, absorb the truth, and know how to distinguish between good and bad!
Conclusion:
Determine the excellence of Christ, be rooted in Christ, desire to grow and mature in the Spirit, and not only receive it for yourself, but also begin to pass on the truth to those around you! Imitate the humble obedience of Christ in all hardships, and continue to choose prayer and praise in the midst of suffering, and you will experience the salvation and glory of God!
