【更美之约的中保–耶稣】

主讲: 郑伟健弟兄+陈炎明牧师

13/01/2022

引言:

耶稣是我们永远的大祭司，祂是更美之约的大祭司，我们都是有经历耶稣大能作为的人。

一、在地的大祭司预表基督（V1-19）

1.在地的大祭司：麦基洗德的等次

这一章经文从麦基洗德这一位尊贵的祭司来让当时候的希伯来人知道，耶稣不是突然冒出来，而是整本旧约都在应验预言，预表耶稣就是那一位弥赛亚。

2.预表耶稣的身份

今天，我们相信耶稣基督是我们生命中的救主。祂是那一位在旧约许多先知所预言，所期待的那一位。现在的我们是可以更加明白，因为我们都是站在历史的这一端，是经历过耶稣基督的作为的。所以我们更能够明白和理解这一切所预表的。

二、属天永远的大祭司耶稣（V20-28）

1.耶稣做了更美之约的中保

‘更美之约’是耶稣用 '血' 所立的‘新约’，因为有了这个 '新约'，我们可以藉着基督直接来到神的面前，无须再倚靠祭牲物和祭司来求取神的赦免。‘中保’的意思就是指‘保证人’、‘担保人’。

主耶稣成为更美之约的中保,是因为祂的祭司职分是神起誓立的。主的来到就是一次而永远有功效。祂能够真正成为神与人中间的桥梁。

2.耶稣永远活着替我们祈求

第二十五节这里提到凡靠着祂进到神面前的人，祂都能拯救到底；因为祂是长远活着，替我们祈求。若不藉着祂没有人能到父那里去。所以我们要时刻亲近主，坚守信心不要放弃，免得失去救恩。

总结：

我们代表基督去到人群中，也扮演‘中保’的角色，我们是基督所救赎的代言人。继续在这时代作主的见证人，介绍他们这位救赎我们的中保耶稣，领人归主。

Hebrews 7: The Advocate of the Better Covenant - Jesus
GK611 Morning Devotion
13/1/2022
Speaker: Asher + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

Jesus is our eternal High Priest, He is the High Priest of the more beautiful covenant, and we are all people who have experienced the mighty works of Jesus.

1. The High Priest on Earth Prefigures Christ (V1-19)

(1) The high priest on earth: the equal status of Melchizedek

This chapter is about Melchizedek, an exalted priest, to show the Hebrews of the time that Jesus did not just appear out of nowhere, but that the entire Old Testament was a fulfillment of the prophecy that Jesus was the Messiah.

(2) Prefiguring the identity of Jesus

Today, we believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of our lives. He is the One who was prophesied and expected by many prophets in the Old Testament. Now we are able to understand more, because we are all on this side of history, having experienced the works of Jesus Christ. So we are more able to understand and comprehend what is foretold in all this.

2. Jesus, the heavenly and eternal High Priest (V20-28)

(1) Jesus became the advocate of the better covenant

The 'better covenant' is a 'new covenant' made by Jesus with 'blood', because with this 'new covenant' we can come directly to God through Christ, without relying on sacrificial animals and priests to ask for God's forgiveness. The word 'advocate' means 'guarantor' and 'surety'.

The Lord Jesus became the advocate of the more beautiful covenant because His priesthood was ordained by God's oath. The Lord's coming is once and forever effective. He can truly be the bridge between God and man.

(2) Jesus lives forever to pray on our behalf

Verse 25 mentioned about Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for us. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Therefore we must always stay close to the Lord, hold fast to our faith and not give up, lest we lose our salvation.

Conclusion:

We go to the crowds on Christ's behalf, and also play the role of 'advocate', we are the mouthpiece of Christ's salvation. Continue to be the Lord's witnesses in this age, introducing them to Jesus, the Advocate who redeems us and leads people to the Lord.
