【基督已成就完全的献祭】

引言:

自古以来，人类就透过献祭来讨好神明，尤其希望透过献祭来弥补自己的过犯，让神明能够去宽恕自己，祝福自己！时至今日，虽然说科技已经很发达，但是还是有很多信仰在继续做着献祭的事，可见人心中仍然存在着一种良心的亏欠，知道需要透过献祭才能做出弥补！本章经文让我们看到，其实基督已经成就了那个完全的献祭。尤其当作者对着犹太基督徒在诠释，基督所成就的献祭是那么地完全，以至于祂就把犹太信仰中献祭系统中的缺陷都完全补足了！

一、属地不足的献祭 (V1-10)

旧约的帐幕和献祭系统虽然是摩西直接从神领受，并按着神的话去建立起来，但是执行起来的时候还是不够完全。尤其礼拜的人，也是献祭的人，透过献礼物也好，祭物也好，良心上还是觉得过不去。

人很常就是会带着宗教中做好事的观念去赎罪，因为做了良心会稍微好一点，但是不继续做，又觉得不够完全。

二、属天完备的献祭 (V11-28)

神清楚知道人的软弱，也知道旧约献祭系统的缺陷，所以祂也预备了基督去成就那个属天的完备的献祭。

1. 净心除死行的祭 (V11-14)

基督自己无罪的献上是进入到真实的圣所里，所以就做成了永远完全的赎罪。并且祂的献上也救人脱离良心的亏欠，还有宗教里的死行，包括只有形式而没有实质的信仰模式(V14)！

我们都要真实认识耶稣为我们所摆上的救恩，脱离只有外表没有实质的信仰生命！

2. 赎罪赐产业的祭 (V15-22)

基督除了做我们赎罪的中保，拿走我们的刑罚，还赐给我们永远的产业，这是因为基督真实地献上为我们流血牺牲，所以我们才能享受这些产业。就好比经文所说的遗嘱要生效，需要人离世后受益人才能得着那样。

让我们再次看到我们得着的救恩是何等的宝贵，我们被赦罪，不再需要受刑罚，还能得着产业，所以我们万万不可视救恩这个礼物为理所当然！神其实是没有义务要救我们的，但是祂爱我们，所以才让祂的爱子耶稣如此为我们摆上！

3. 真圣所完全的祭 (V23-28)

地上的献祭制度，是植根在天上神已经设立好的献祭制度。所以在天上真圣所中的物件，可以说是完全的，但神也按着献祭制度的条例让基督的血去洁净这些物件。基督虽然没有进入过地上的圣所，但是却直接进入到天上的真圣所去献祭，献上无罪的自己，作为完全的祭物，使得人就免去了第二次的死，也将会在神所命定了的末日审判中得蒙拯救！

让我们更深地去领受，基督为我们的献上是何等的完全，我们当除去我们一切对神轻慢的态度！让神的话语也再次提醒我们，末后的终极审判是真的，不然今天我们基督徒就不需要去传福音了。求神赐给我们好机会，也在祂圣灵所赐的智慧和能力中继续传扬主的福音！

总结：

地上的献祭系统和条例虽然是神透过摩西给人的，但还是有许多的不足，因为是有罪有软弱的人在执行。然而当无罪的、从天而降的基督透过自己的献上真实地进入到属天的献祭系统里为我们赎罪，整个的救赎就完全了！

让我们都来怀着恭敬感恩的心来回应主耶稣基督的救恩，真实活出爱神、敬畏神的生命。求主也帮助我们，因着看到这份救恩的宝贵，就继续火热地为主传扬福音！

Hebrew 9: Christ Has Accomplished a Perfect Sacrifice
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

Since ancient times, man has been making sacrifices to please the gods, especially to atone for his sins, so that the gods can forgive him and bless him! Nowadays, although technology is very advanced, there are still many faiths that continue to make sacrifices, which shows that there is still a sense of conscience in the heart of man that he needs to make amends through sacrifice. This chapter shows us that Christ has actually accomplished that perfect sacrifice.

Especially when the author interprets it to the Jewish Christians, the sacrifice that Christ accomplished was so perfect that He made up for all the defects in the sacrificial system of the Jewish faith!

(1) Inadequate Earthly Sacrifice (v1-10)

Although the tabernacle and sacrificial system of the Old Testament was received directly from God by Moses and established according to God's word, the implementation was not perfect. Especially the worshipers and the sacrificers, whether through offering gifts or sacrifices, still feel bad in their conscience.

It is often the case that people take the religious concept of doing good deeds to atone for their sins, because their conscience is a little better after doing them, but if they don't continue doing them, they feel that they are not perfect.

(2) The Heavenly Perfect Sacrifice (v11-28)

God knew the weaknesses of man and the defects of the Old Testament sacrificial system, so He also prepared Christ to fulfill that heavenly and perfect sacrifice.

1. The sacrifice of the purification of the heart from dead works (v11-14)

The sinless offering of Christ Himself entered into the true sanctuary, and so made an eternal and perfect atonement. And His sacrifice also saves from the debts of conscience, and from the dead works of religion, including the formal but insubstantial pattern of faith (v14)!

We all need to truly know the salvation that Jesus has laid out for us, and to break away from the life of faith that is all form and no substance!

2. The sacrifice of the atonement for sin and the giving of the inheritance (v15-22)

In addition to being our mediator of atonement and taking away our punishment, Christ also gives us eternal inheritance, which we can enjoy because of Christ's true sacrifice of His blood for us. It is as if the scripture says that for a will to be effective, it needs to be received by the beneficiary after the person has passed away.

Let us see again how valuable our salvation is, that we are forgiven of our sins, that we no longer need to be punished, and that we have an inheritance, so we must not take the gift of salvation for granted! God is not actually obligated to save us, but He loves us enough to have His beloved Son Jesus so laid out for us!

3. The perfect sacrifice of the true sanctuary (v23-28)

The earthly sacrificial system is rooted in the sacrificial system already established by God in heaven. Therefore, the objects in the true sanctuary in heaven can be said to be perfect, but God also purifies them by the blood of Christ according to the ordinance of the sacrificial system. Although Christ did not enter the earthly sanctuary, he entered directly into the true sanctuary in heaven to offer his sinless self as a perfect sacrifice, so that man might be saved from the second death, and would be saved in the last judgment ordained by God!

Let us receive more deeply the perfection of Christ's sacrifice for us, and let us put away all our contemptuous attitudes toward God! Let God's Word also remind us once again that the final judgment at the end is true, or we Christians would not need to evangelize today. Pray that God will give us good opportunities to continue preaching the gospel of the Lord also in the wisdom and power of His Holy Spirit!

Conclusion:

Although the earthly sacrificial system and regulations were given by God through Moses, they were still inadequate, for they were carried out by sinful and weak men. However, when the sinless Christ, who came down from heaven, truly entered into the heavenly sacrificial system through His own sacrifice to atone for our sins, the whole salvation is complete!

Let us all respond to the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ with a respectful and grateful heart, and live a true life of love and fear of God. Help us also to continue to preach the gospel of the Lord with fervor because we see the preciousness of this salvation!
