25/01/2022
引言:
希伯来书12章的最后提到,我们既然得了不能震动的国,就应该感恩,照神所喜悦的,用虔诚、敬畏的心事奉神。所以我们具体要怎样来事奉神,向神来献上祂所喜悦的祭呢?今天希伯来书第13章将会很具体地教导我们要怎样去献上神所喜悦的祭。
一、活出敬虔生活的祭 (V1-18)
1. 爱心接待肢体 (V1-2)
肢体之间彼此相爱,尽地主之谊接待主内的肢体。
2. 纪念被捆之人(V3)
纪念为福音缘故而被囚受苦,甚至是坐牢的人,要与他们感同身受,体会他们肉身之内所受到的苦。
3. 活出性的圣洁 (V4)
尊重所有性的关系都只当在一夫一妻的婚姻关系中,当存着敬畏的心知道一切性犯罪的人都会遭受神的审判!
4. 因信靠而知足 (V5-6)
不要贪财,要怀着感恩知足的心,知道主必不丢弃我们,必要来帮助我们。
5. 效法好的榜样 (V7)
思念并效法那些对神有信心,并传递神话语给我们的好榜样,尤其留意他们过敬虔生活所活出来的生命成果!
6. 恩中成全律法 (V8-9)
靠神的恩典,而不再靠活出旧约中有关饮食的条例来过信仰生活。不要专注饮食,乃是要关注我们在灵性上有没有成长。
7. 不惧地上凌辱 (V10-14)
效法基督,不怕为福音的缘故而受的苦,思想我们在地上的日子乃是短暂的,盼望进入那将来永存的城 – 就是新天新地。
8. 结出颂赞果子 (V15)
结出嘴唇中赞美的果子,生命无论走在什么样的阶段都能选择来赞美神!
9. 行善捐输的祭 (V16)
活出神的心意,对有需要的人提供援助。
二、建立肢体关系的祭 (V17-24)
前面的祭比较提到个人的层面,第二部分是有关在肢体关系里,怎样能够活出神的心意。
1.体会领袖用心 (V17)
依从属灵领袖,体会他们的用心,牧人就是一直为着羊群的灵魂在警醒,要让我们的领袖在牧养中有喜乐!
2.彼此守望代祷 (V18-21)
作者让希伯来书收信的信徒为他们祷告,好除掉能让大家彼此见面的拦阻;也求神保守希伯来信徒,能够行出神的旨意!要看重肢体间彼此代祷的重要性!
3. 渴望圣徒相交 (V22-23)
渴望能够彼此见面相交!
4. 彼此祝福问安 (V24-25)
肢体间彼此祝福和问候。
总结:
希伯来书来到第13章,作者写到最后,继续在勉励我们要坚持信仰,并要定意活出讨神喜悦的生命,向神献上神所喜悦的祭。就是对我们个人来说,我们要献上过敬虔生活的祭;就我们的肢体关系来说,我们要去彼此理解相爱,也为着彼此常常代祷,过彼此相交的生活!
Hebrews 13: Offering a sacrifice that pleases God
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
At the end of Hebrews 12, it is mentioned that since we have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, we should be thankful and serve God with godliness and reverence as He pleases. So how do we specifically serve God and offer to Him the sacrifices that are pleasing to Him? Today Hebrews 13 will teach us very specifically how to offer sacrifices that are pleasing to God.
1. The Sacrifice of Living a Godly Life (v1-18)
(1) Receive members with love (v1-2)
The members love one another and receive the members of the Lord as a host.
(2) Remember the prisoners (v3)
Remember those who are imprisoned and suffering for the sake of the gospel, even in prison, and empathize with them, experiencing their sufferings within the flesh.
(3) Living out sexual holiness (v4)
Respect all sexual relationships only in monogamous marriage, knowing with reverence that all those who sin sexually will suffer the judgment of God!
(4) Contentment through trust (v5-6)
Do not be greedy for money, but with gratitude and contentment, knowing that the Lord will not forsake us, but will come to our aid.
(5) Follow a good example (v7)
Think of and follow the good examples of those who have faith in God and have passed on His Word to us, and pay particular attention to the fruits of their lives lived out by living a godly life!
(6) The Law of Becoming Whole in Grace (v8-9)
Live a life of faith by God's grace, and no longer by living out the Old Testament regulations concerning diet. Do not focus on diet, but on whether we are growing spiritually.
(7) No Fear in the humiliation on the earth (v10-14)
Imitate Christ, not being afraid of suffering for the sake of the gospel, thinking that our days on earth are short, and looking forward to entering the city that will endure forever - the new heaven and the new earth.
(8) Bearing the fruit of praise (v15)
Produce the fruit of praise in your lips, and choose to praise God no matter what stage of life you are walking in!
(9) The sacrifice of good deeds and donations (v16)
Live the heart of God and provide assistance to those in need.
2. The Sacrifice that Establishes Relationship between Members (v17-24)
The first part of the service was more on a personal level, and the second part was about how to live out the heart of God in a relationship between members.
(1) Experience the leader's heart (v17)
By following spiritual leaders and experiencing their intentions, shepherds are always on the alert for the souls of their flock, so that our leaders may have joy in shepherding!
(2) Keeping watch of one another in intercession (v18-21)
The author asks the believers of the letter to the Hebrews to pray for them, so that they may remove the hindrances that would enable them to meet each other; and that God may keep the Hebrew believers to do the will of God! To see the importance of intercession among members for one another!
(3) Desire for the fellowship of the saints (v22-23)
The desire to meet and befriend each other!
(4) Bless and greet each other (v24-25)
Blessings and greetings from the members to each other.
Conclusion:
As we come to the end of Hebrews 13, the author continues to exhort us to persevere in our faith and to be determined to live lives that are pleasing to God and to offer sacrifices that are pleasing to God. That is, for us as individuals, we are to offer the sacrifice of living a godly life, and for us as a body, we are to understand and love one another, and to pray for one another often, and to live in fellowship with one another!
