【谨记神恩典 紧跟神引领】

主讲：丘均发传道

26/03/2024


一、守逾越节 纪念神救恩（V1-14）

1. 凡神吩咐 都照行了（V1-5）

逾越节是庆祝神施恩拯救祂的百姓脱离埃及人奴役的节日。

以色列人经历了神的救恩，所以都甘心乐意地完全遵照神的吩咐去守逾越节。因为他们亲身经历神的大恩！他们要记念神向他们所施的慈爱和救恩！

我们要谨记神的恩典，不要因为日子久了，以致忙碌地就渐渐失去‘起初爱神的心’，崇拜少参加了、听道分心了、读经懒散了…。我们需不断地数算神的恩典，将自己带回‘起初的爱心’！

2.凡愿意的 都有恩典（V6-14）

从经文中可以看见，以色列人是渴慕要守逾越节，甚至因为接触了死尸的人也提出要守逾越节。神回答允许两种特殊情况的人，在一个月后可以庆祝逾越节，就是：当一个人因为尸体而变得不洁净，以及当一个人外出旅行时。这显明神的恩典，总为我们开一条出路、留一个补救的机会，给人有第二次机会！

神也悦纳愿意参与逾越节的外邦人，只要他们照逾越节的律例典章行。 这代表神的救恩是给所有的人，只要愿意接受救恩就被接纳，但前提是要遵行神的话语。

二、云彩为记 紧跟神引领（V15-23）

云彩是一个标志，是神同在的记号，也是神引领的标志。这段经文也表明，神的指引不是一个抽象的概念，而是看得见的现实。

今天神的云彩又是什么呢？圣经神的话就是我们脚前的灯，路上的光；圣灵我们的保惠师，是心灵的引导者，都是要引导我们到神的荣耀里！所以，我们要进入神丰盛的应许中，必须明白神的话语，愿意接受神的引领，才不会走错路；人会把人带上岔路，我们自己也会偏行己路，但神必使我们走在正道。主耶稣说：我就是道路，真理，生命，若不借着我，没有人能到父那里去。我们要确信，神的引导 必能领我们进入祂的应许！这是信心的功课，我们只要跟上祂就对了！

总结：

今天我们是以圣餐来纪念主的救恩；但是，我们也要在日常中不断数算主的恩典，顺服圣灵的提醒，才能紧紧跟随神的引领！才能进入神的应许！


Numbers 9 Remember God’s Grace and Follow God’s Leading
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew

1. Observe the Passover to commemorate God’s salvation (V1-14)

(1) Follow Everything that God commanded (V1-5)

Passover is a festival celebrating God’s grace in rescuing His people from Egyptian and from slavery.

The Israelites had experienced God’s salvation, so they all willingly and fully obeyed God’s instructions to keep the Passover. Because they have personally experienced God’s great favour! They must remember God’s love and salvation shown to them!

We must keep God’s grace in mind and not gradually lose our “first love for God” because of our busy schedule as time goes by. We will participate less in worship service, become distracted from listening to sermons, and become lazy in Bible reading.... We need to constantly count God’s grace and bring ourselves back to our “first love”!

(2) For whoever is willing, there is grace (V6-14)

It can be seen from the scriptures that the Israelites were eager to keep the Passover and even those who had come into contact with dead bodies proposed to keep the Passover. God responded by allowing two special circumstances for people to celebrate Passover a month later: when a person became unclean because of a dead body, and when a person travelled. This shows that God’s grace always opens a way out for us, leaves an opportunity for redress, and gives people a second chance!

God also accepts Gentiles who are willing to participate in the Passover, as long as they follow the laws and regulations of the Passover. This means that God’s salvation is available to everyone, and as long as they are willing to accept salvation, they can be accepted, but the prerequisite is to obey God’s Words.

2. The clouds are a reminder to follow God’s guidance (V15-23)

The cloud is a sign, a sign of God's presence and a sign of God's guidance. This passage also shows that God’s guidance is not an abstract concept but a visible reality.

What is God’s cloud today? The Word of God in the Bible is is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path; the Holy Spirit is our comforter and the guide of the soul, to guide us to the glory of God! Therefore, if we want to enter the abundant promises of God, we must understand God’s Words and be willing to accept God’s guidance, so that we will not go astray. People will lead others astray, and we will also go our way, but God will keep us on the right path. Lord Jesus said: I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one can come to the Father except through me. We must be confident that God’s guidance will lead us to His promises! This is a lesson of faith, we just need to follow Him!

Conclusion：

Today we commemorate the Lord’s salvation with the Holy Communion; however, we must also constantly count the Lord’s grace in our daily lives and obey the reminders of the Holy Spirit so that we can closely follow God’s leading! Only then can we enter into God’s promises!
