引言:升级的人生

我们的人生就像一段不断运行的软件,不断地在运行和工作,但也需要不断地升级和更新。升级人生就像升级软件一样,需要勇气和决心去面对挑战和迎接变化。

耶稣基督的献上就像是我们人生的一个更新包,让我们可以脱离老我和世界的限制,进入更完全的人生。透过不停地更新,进入一个完全里。

一、脱离地上有限的侍奉(V1-10)

1. 地上帐幕的预备(V1-5)
“礼拜”(V1)和“行拜神的礼”(V6)指的是敬拜,这个帐幕让人进去敬拜神,进去献祭,再次与神建立关系。

预备帐幕里的每一样物件,都有重要的属灵象征意义。但是作者并没有多细说荣耀物件的意义,因为他接下来要说的是表达帐幕事奉的有限。

2. 地上有限的侍奉(V6-8)
作者在这里表达的是,即使有地上大祭司的服事,但进入至圣所的路尚未显明,我们还是不能进到至圣所,是软弱无力的,这也只是一个表征。这那么重要的事情都还没显明,那么其他饮食和诸般洗濯的规矩,都不过是属肉体的条例。

虽然帐幕里面非常荣耀,但里面的事奉却非常有限。说明了连大祭司的服事也未能把人带进神那里,那么更不用谈这些属肉体的礼节仪式。

3. 地上有限的献祭(V9-10)
在地上的帐幕里,献祭不能洁净敬拜者良心。那第一层帐幕是现今时代的一个预表, 表示所献的礼物和祭物都不能使敬拜的人在良心上得以完全(V9)。旧约是有瑕疵的,不管旧约的帐幕和敬拜礼仪有多荣耀,但所献的礼物和祭物只有外表礼仪的果效,并不能洁净人的良心。

二、耶稣基督 - 更完全的祭(V11-28)

1.耶稣的献祭比地上更美(V11-14)
耶稣基督进入了天上的圣所,赎罪的效果更美。那更大更全备的帐幕,就是更大更有力的帐幕,意思指耶稣是好的大祭司,因祂并非在地上的帐幕服事,乃经过更全备的帐幕。

耶稣基督献上了真正的祭物,洁净的效果更美。洁净良心并不是目的,目的是为了让人可以亲近神、事奉讨神的喜悦。

2. 基督的献祭确立了新约(V15-28)
基督一次进入圣所,是天上永远的圣所,一次献上自己为祭(V12)。耶稣基督是新约中保的,因为祂献上自己为祭,使人的罪得赦免、良心得洁净的恩典。 耶稣把无瑕无疵的自己献给神,是更有力,更有效的,祂的宝血永远有效。唯有祂才是我们永远的救赎,并让我们得着永远的基业。

总结:脱离地上宗教的限制,进入耶稣基督完全的约。

我们很容易被过去的老我,很多宗教的仪式框住,未能认识耶稣基督并靠着祂进入永恒的约里面。让我们不但外表和行动上更新,而是靠着耶稣基督,心里和灵里也不停更新,不断升级,成为复兴的一代!

Introduction: A Life of Upgrades

Our life is like a piece of software that is constantly running and working, but it also needs to be constantly upgraded and updated. Upgrading life is like upgrading software, it takes courage and determination to face challenges and embrace changes.

The offering of Jesus Christ is like a renewal package for our life, so that we can break away from the limitations of our old self and the world and enter into a more complete life. Through constant renewal, we enter into a fullness.

1. Departure from the limited service on earth (V1-10)

(1) Preparation of the earthly tabernacle (V1-5)
The words "service" (V1) and "performing the services.p" (V6) refer to worship. This tabernacle allows people to go in and worship God, go in and offer sacrifices, and enter into a relationship with God again.

Each of the objects in the tabernacle of preparation had a significant spiritual symbolism. But the author does not go into detail about the significance of the glorified objects, because what he is about to say is to express the limited nature of the ministry of the tabernacle.

(2) The limited service on earth (V6-8)
What the author expresses here is that even with the earthly high priestly service, the way into the Most Holy Place has not yet been revealed, and we are still unable to enter the Most Holy Place, being weak and powerless, and this is only a symptom. If this important thing has not yet been revealed, then all the other rules of food and drink and all the rules of washing are just carnal regulations.

Although the tabernacle was very glorious inside, the ministry inside was very limited. It shows that even the service of the high priest failed to bring people to God, not to mention the fleshly rituals and ceremonies.

(3) The limited sacrifice on earth (V9-10)
In the earthly tabernacle, sacrifices do not cleanse the conscience of the worshiper. That first tabernacle is a foreshadowing of the present age. The first tabernacle is a foreshadowing of the present age, indicating that both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience (V9). The Old Testament was flawed, and no matter how glorious the Old Testament tabernacle and worship rituals were, the gifts and sacrifices offered had only a ceremonial effect, and did not cleanse the conscience.

2. Jesus Christ - A more perfect sacrifice (V11-28)

(2) The sacrifice of Jesus is more beautiful than on earth (V11-14)
Jesus Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary with a more beautiful effect of atonement. The greater and more perfect tabernacle is the greater and more powerful tabernacle, meaning that Jesus is the good High Priest, for He did not serve in the earthly tabernacle, but passed through the more perfect tabernacle.

Jesus Christ offered the true sacrifice, and the cleansing effect was more beautiful. The cleansing of the conscience is not the purpose, but the purpose is that one may draw near to God and serve to please Him.

(2) The sacrifice of Christ establishes the new covenant (V15-28)
Christ entered the sanctuary once for all, the eternal sanctuary in heaven, and offered Himself as a sacrifice once for all (V12). Jesus Christ is the Mediator of the New Covenant because He offered Himself as a sacrifice for the grace of the forgiveness of sins and the cleansing of consciences. Jesus’ offering of Himself without blemish to God is more powerful and effective, and His blood is valid forever. He alone is our eternal salvation, and gives us an eternal foundation.

Conclusion: Break away from the limitations of earthly religion and enter into the full covenant of Jesus Christ.

It is easy to get caught up in the old self, in the rituals of many religions, and fail to know Jesus Christ and enter into the eternal covenant through Him. Let us be renewed not only in appearance and action, but also in heart and spirit through Jesus Christ, and become a revived generation!
