希伯来书［第1章|Book of Hebrews 1【超越的圣子耶稣】
04/01/2022
引言:
背景：希伯来书是一封写给希伯来教会的信，作者不详，收信人极有可能是犹太基督徒。本书也因此命名为希伯来书。
作者有两个主要目的，第一就是高举耶稣为至高的君王，祂配得我们全身心的信靠和奉献。第二就是鼓励身在逼迫中的信徒继续持守信心。
今天当我们进入第一章经文的时候，其实就是会看到作者的第一个写作目的，并且作者还根据当时以色列人的信仰背景去把耶稣和天使做出对比，来让我们看到神儿子耶稣的超越性。
一、与神同等创造主（V1-3）
耶稣乃是神给人最高的启示。
如果父神是太阳，那耶稣就是太阳的光；如果父神是印章戒指，那耶稣就是盖出来的印。
耶稣这位对着我们说话，也为我们钉死在十字架后复活的主，祂其实就是神，祂就是创造宇宙万物，维持宇宙万物运作的那一位，祂与神的位置是同等的。
应用：我们看见了主，就能够看见天父！认识我们的主耶稣，才能认识天父，经历天父的爱！
二、超越天使的圣子（V4-14）
原来根据犹太传统的教导，摩西在西奈山上所领受的律法和神的话，其实是由天使，而不是神自己去传递的。因此这里讲到耶稣超乎天使，作者就是要宣告传递天国福音的耶稣要高过以往所有传递神话语的天使。
1. 天使不是神儿子 (V4-5)
耶稣既然承受着神儿子的名，就比天使的名更为尊贵，祂超越了一切的天使。
2. 天使都要拜圣子（V6-12）
作者开始表达，天使都要拜神的儿子耶稣。一切的天使其实都是在耶稣的管理之下。
3. 天使乃服役的灵（V13-14）
天使其实只是服役的灵体，他们就是奉神差遣去服事一切因着相信耶稣而领受救恩的人的。
这章经文第二部分的应用：
1）一切属灵上的领受，哪怕从天使来的领受，都不能越过神儿子所说过的话（首先是圣经中耶稣的原话，其次是神已经认可并允许人在圣灵感动下写下来在圣经中的话）。
2）基督徒要留心异端和错误信仰的教导，人是不当敬拜天使的。人倾向于会去敬拜那在灵界中有能力的，所以人甚至会去敬拜撒旦，但这完全不合乎真理。我们要单单敬拜神！
3）天使是服役的灵，奉差遣为那将要承受救恩的人效力。在争战祷告中，我们可以在神的心意中，奉神儿子耶稣的圣名，去支取这一个属灵的权柄！
总结：认定超越的圣子耶稣
•认识主耶稣，才能认识到慈爱的天父！
•单单敬拜耶稣，扎根神的话，胜过个人在属灵上的领受和经历！
•奉神儿子耶稣的圣名，支取天使要为我们这些要承受救恩之人效力的权柄！
Hebrews 1: The transcendent Son of Jesus
GK611 Morning Devotion
04/01/2022
Speaker: IP Moses + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
Background: The book of Hebrews is a letter to the Hebrew Church, the author of which is unknown, and the addressee is most likely a Jewish Christian. The book is also named Hebrews for this reason.
The author has two main purposes, the first is to exalt Jesus as the supreme King, who is worthy of our full trust and devotion. The second is to encourage believers in the midst of persecution to continue to keep the faith.
Today, as we enter the first chapter, we see the first purpose of the author's writing and the contrast between Jesus and the angels in the context of Israel's faith at the time, to show us the transcendence of Jesus, the Son of God.
1. Equal with God, The Creator (V1-3)
Jesus is the highest revelation of God to man. If God the Father is the sun, then Jesus is the light of the sun; if God the Father is the seal ring, then Jesus is the stamped out seal.
Jesus, the Lord who spoke to us and who rose again after His crucifixion for us, is in fact God, He is the One who created all things in the universe and who sustains the functioning of all things in the universe, and He is in the same position as God.
Application: When we see the Lord, we are able to see the Father! Knowing our Lord Jesus is the only way to know the Father and experience His love!
2. The Son Who Transcends The Angels (V4-14)
It turns out that according to the teachings of Jewish tradition, the law and the word of God that Moses received on Mount Sinai were actually delivered by angels, not by God Himself. So by speaking here of Jesus being above the angels, the author is declaring that Jesus, who delivers the gospel of the kingdom, will be above all the angels who have delivered God's word in the past.
(1) Angels Are Not the Sons of God (v4-5)
Since Jesus bears the name of the Son of God, He is more exalted than the name of angels, and He surpasses all angels
(2) All Angels Shall Worship the Son (v6-12)
The author begins to express that all angels are to worship Jesus, the Son of God. All angels are actually under the authority of Jesus.
(3) Angels are Ministering Spirits (v13-14)
Angels are really just ministering spirit beings who are sent by God to minister to all those who receive salvation through faith in Jesus. Application of the second part of this chapter of Scripture:
1) All spiritual inspirations, even those from angels, cannot transgress the words spoken by the Son of God (first, the original words of Jesus in the Bible, and second, the words that God has approved and allowed men to write down in the Bible under the influence of the Holy Spirit)
2) Christians should beware of the teaching of cult and false beliefs that man should not worship angels. Man is inclined to worship those who have power in the spiritual realm, so that he may even worship Satan, but this is totally untrue. We are to worship God alone!
3) Angels are ministering spirits sent to work for those who will receive salvation. In prayer for warfare, we can take up this spiritual authority in the mind of God and in the name of Jesus, the Son of God!
Conclusion: Identifying the Transcendent Son of Jesus
Knowing the Lord Jesus is the only way to know the loving Father!
Worshiping Jesus alone, rooted in the word of God, is better than personal spiritual inspiration and experience!
In the name of Jesus, the Son of God, take the authority of the angels to work for us who are to receive salvation!
