【耶稣是超越的救主】

主讲: 丘均发传道

28/03/2023

引言：

希伯来书的作者不明，是写给希伯来人的，就是当时处于信心考验的犹太基督徒，劝勉他们在逼迫中要持守真道，指出旧约中神为子民所定的旨意，都在耶稣基督身上成就了，来证明耶稣就是从神而来的超越的救主！

一、耶稣超越众先知 (V1-3)

1. 父借子在末世说话 (V1-2)
‘晓谕’ 原文是‘说话’。在耶稣基督降世以前，神借着众先知与百姓说话。在末世神则借着祂儿子耶稣在圣经里所记载的话，对我们作完全的晓谕，让我们靠着祂的话语，警醒等候基督的再来！

2. 早已立祂承受万有 (V2)
主耶稣是神的儿子，神早已立祂承受万有。所以，耶稣基督不单是人类的救主，整个世界和宇宙都是由祂来承受掌管！主耶稣是承受万有的，而我们是在主里面的，所以我们也是能和祂一起承受万有的!

3. 祂的命令托住万有 (V3)
「命令」原文是‘话语’。主耶稣既掌管万有，就‘常用他权能的命令托住万有。’意思就是说世界今天得以维系，宇宙得以运行，是靠祂话语的大能托住！所以我们的一切，都是神的话托住的，我们也能靠神的话语胜过恶者。

4. 祂洗净了世人的罪 (V3)
主耶稣道成肉身来到世间，为我们的罪钉死在十字架上，洗净了人的罪，复活升天「就坐在高天至大者的右边」得以在天地间掌权。因着主耶稣的救恩，我们才能罪得赦免，生命得更新。

二、耶稣远超过天使 (V4-14)

1. 主耶稣是神的儿子 (V5)
因为主耶稣是神的儿子，在关系上，是比天使更尊贵；在地位上，是高过天使的。

2. 神说天使都要拜祂 (V6-7)
这里引用诗97:7…万神哪，你们都当拜他。也引用诗104:4神以风为使者，以火焰为仆役。带出家中的仆人要事奉主人的儿子。

3. 祂的宝座永永远远 (V8-12)
这里进一步指出，基督是坐在永远的宝座，天使却要俯伏跪拜基督。主拥有永远的王权, 祂的统治是公义的。被造物就象衣服会逐渐陈旧, 但基督是创造主！ 是永恒的！ 因此，我们都应活在基督的掌管下，把自己完全的交托给永远的主，追求世上的东西都是虚妄的。

4. 使仇敌作耶稣脚凳 (V13-14)
主的宝座是得胜掌权的！天使却是没有主权的，对基督而言他们是仆役，对受基督救恩的人而言，天使也是仆役。因为我们是神家中的儿女，天使也是我们仆役。

总结：

救主耶稣的尊贵远超过天使！我们是否有把无比尊贵的救主摆在生命中最重要的地位？
其实，神给主耶稣尊贵的位份，神也要给我们尊贵的位份，并应许我们将来必与主一同得胜作王！只有我们忠心跟随主，直到见主面！

Hebrews 1: Jesus is the Transcendent Saviour
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speakers: Ps Daniel

Introduction：

The author of Hebrews is unknown, it was written to the Hebrews, that is, the Jewish Christians who were under the test of faith at that time, urging them to stick to the truth in the face of persecution, and pointing out the will of God for the people in the Old Testament. It has been accomplished in Jesus Christ, to prove that Jesus is the transcendent Saviour from God from God!

1. Jesus surpasses all prophets (V1-3)

(1) The Father speaks through the son in the end times (V1-2)
The original text of ‘speak’ is ‘to talk’. Before Jesus Christ came to earth, God spoke to people through prophets. In the last days, God uses the Words recorded in the Bible by His Son Jesus to give us a complete revelation. Let us rely on His Words to stay vigilant and wait for the return of Christ!

(2) Already appointed Him to inherit all things (V2)
The Lord Jesus is the Son of God, and God has already appointed Him to inherit all things. Therefore, Jesus Christ is not only the Saviour of mankind, the whole world and the universe are under His control! The Lord Jesus is the heir of all things, and we are in the Lord, so we can also be the heir of all things in Him!

(3) His command upholds all things (V3)
The original text for "power" is "word". Since the Lord Jesus reigns over all things, He "upholding all things by the word of His power." It means that the world today is able to maintain, and the universe is able to operate, because all things are upheld by the power of His Words! Therefore, everything about us is upheld by God's Words, and we can also rely on God's Words to overcome the evil ones.

(4) He washed away the sins of the world (V3)
The Lord Jesus became flesh and came to the world, died on the cross for our sins, washed away the sins of mankind, was resurrected and ascended to heaven, and "sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high" to reign in heaven and earth. Because of the salvation of the Lord Jesus, our sins can be forgiven and our lives renewed.

2. Jesus far exceeds the angels (V4-14)

(1) The Lord Jesus is the Son of God (V5)
Because the Lord Jesus is the Son of God, he is more honourable than the angels in the relationship and higher than the angels in position.

(2) God said that all angels shall worship Him (V6-7)
Psalm 97:7 is quoted here... worship Him, all you gods. Also quote Psalm 104:4 Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire. A servant who is brought out of the house is to serve the master's son.

(3) His throne is forever and ever (V8-12)
Here it is further pointed out that Christ is sitting on the eternal throne, but the angels will bow down and worship Christ. The Lord has eternal kingship, and His reign is righteous. Creation is like clothes that will wear out gradually, but Christ is the Creator! is eternal! Therefore, we should all live under the control of Christ, completely entrust ourselves to the eternal Lord, and pursue the things of the world are vain.

(4) Make the enemy a footstool for Jesus (V13-14)
The throne of the Lord is victorious and reigning! But angels have no sovereignty, they are servants to Christ, and angels are also servants to those who are saved by Christ. Because we are children of God's family, angels are also our servants.

Conclusion：

The Savior Jesus is far more exalted than the angels! Do we place the all-important Saviour at the forefront of our lives?
In fact, God gave the Lord Jesus an honourable position, and God will also give us an honourable position, and promised that we will win together with the Lord and will reign with Him! Only when we faithfully follow the Lord until we meet Him face to face!
