【属世与属灵的法则】

主讲：陈炎明牧师

19/07/2024


引言：你按什么标准为行事原则？

一、大祭司两个儿子之死（V1-2）

亚伦大祭司本有最荣耀的职分，但是亚伦也有不完全之处，这是否导致他的头两名儿子也受了不良影响？这一点无法证实。但是拿答、亚比户之死是因为他们在献祭的事情上“献凡火”（民3:4）。这是指不圣洁、不合宜、不被神所接受的行为，所以神让他们死。

不按神的法则作属神的事，结果是死的！虽然今天有耶稣基督代替我们死，因此我们不必死，但是这种“死的服事”（既是不按神真理的法则所做的事）又怎么会蒙福呢？

二、承接别人失去的祝福（V3-6）

大祭司可以说是全以色列中最神圣和荣耀的职分，因为全国之中无论有多少爱神的人，他们都没有机会贴近约柜，进入至圣所；唯独大祭司有这样的特权。这是全国最尊贵的圣职不是吗？可惜亚伦的长子、二子都失去了这样的机会。结果三子和四子就承接了大祭司的职分。这好比说，当有人不珍惜自己所拥有的服事，而我们哪怕只是一个无名小子，只能默然跟随。岂不知当前人不珍惜的时候，神可以拿走本属前人祝福，而转交给哪忠心跟随的人。

三、抽签制定圣殿24班次（V7-19） br>
亚伦的子孙都是祭司，但是彼此要怎么分配工作呢？透过抽签，意思就上说不是人来决定，而说神的决定，按神的旨意所安排。

照着属灵领袖前辈所领受而制定的条例做属灵的事！这岂不也是一种真理的原则吗？神让教会的属灵领导人有异象和领受，今天我们如果是作为教会的信徒、跟随者，我们都赋予了参与的机会，但是在什么教会就要按照什么教会的规矩做事，这是理所当然的。

四、圣俗结合的管理法则（20-31）

大卫作王时的大祭司是撒督，这位作为属灵界的最高领袖，和当时当政的最高领袖大卫王，共同以神的法则制定祭司利未人的工作职责，这表明世界的管理，和属灵的管理本来就应该是结合的。而且都要按照神的法则做事。

总结：活出整合的生命

我们是活在世属世界的属灵人！我们的生活就是基督生命的再现···。

Introduction: By what standards do you act?

1. Death of the two sons of the high priest (V1-2)

Aaron, the high priest, originally had the most glorious position, but Aaron also had imperfections. Did this cause his first two sons to also be adversely affected? This cannot be confirmed. But the death of Nadab and Abihu was because they "offered profane fire" in the matter of sacrifice (Numbers 3:4). This refers to behaviour that is unholy, inappropriate, and unacceptable to God, so God allows them to die.

If you don’t do God’s things according to God’s laws, the result will be death! Although Jesus Christ died for us today, so we do not have to die, how can this kind of "dead service" (since it is not done according to the laws of God's truth) be blessed?

2. Inherit the lost blessings of others (V3-6)

The high priest can be said to be the most sacred and glorious office in all of Israel, because no matter how many people in the country love God, they do not have the opportunity to get close to the ark of God and enter the Holy of Holies; only the high priest has such a privilege. This is the most noble priesthood in the country, isn’t it? It’s a pity that Aaron’s eldest son and second son both lost this opportunity. As a result, the third and fourth sons took over the duties of high priest. This is like saying that when someone does not cherish the service they have, even if we are just a nobody, we can follow silently. Don’t you know that when the current people don’t cherish it, God can take away the blessings that belong to the previous people and transfer them to those who follow them faithfully?

3. Draw lots to determine the 24 divisions (V7-19)

Aaron’s descendants are all priests, but how do they allocate work among themselves? By drawing lots, it means that it is not decided by humans, but that is God’s decision and it is arranged according to God’s will.

Do spiritual things according to the regulations established by the spiritual leaders before you! Isn’t this also a principle of truth? God allows the spiritual leaders of the church to have visions and inspirations. Today, as believers and followers of the church, we are all given the opportunity to participate. However, it is natural that we should act in accordance with the rules of the church in whichever church we are in.

4. Laws of management of the integration of sacred and secular matters (20-31)

The high priest when David was king was Zadok. As the highest leader in the spiritual world, he and King David, the highest leader in power at that time, jointly formulated the work responsibilities of the priests and Levites according to God's laws. This shows that the world's management and spiritual management should be integrated. And everything must be done according to God’s laws.

Conclusion: Live an integrated life

We are spiritual beings living in the world! Our life is a reproduction of the life of Christ.
