希伯来书[第3章|Book of Hebrews 3【圣洁的天召】
06/01/2022
引言: 一个人的身份有多尊贵?有时候会关系到他是跟谁做工。
一、尽忠于神的家(V1-6)
1.同蒙天召圣洁弟兄啊(V1)
何等神圣荣耀的拣选与呼召,这是我们尊贵的身份与定位。 这份呼召被赋予一个非凡的生命,圣经形容为【圣洁】。这是神给我们的身价,我们岂能不好好保守自己呢?
2.思想为神家尽忠的主(V2)
主耶稣的呼召是成为救恩的使者;祂的身份却是大祭司。祂的职责是在神的家忠心。 主是救恩的成就者,我们是救恩的见证人和传递者。祂是大祭司,我们是世人与神中间的代祷祭司,行驶神权柄的君尊祭司。主耶稣在神的家尽忠,成为我们的榜样,我们岂不也当在神的家尽忠吗?
3.放胆坚持可夸的盼望(V6)
如今我们在教会神的家,在这里参与事奉,即是为将来永恒的家作实习。学习忠心的为神做事,存着盼望,带着胆量(即使有考验和难处),都要坚持到底。最终才是真正神的一家人。
想想你在神家尽忠吗?你要如何尽忠于神的家?去服事有需要的人,作神的家里的事,意思说哪里有需要就去那里。你有这样的心志,你有这样的行动,并且过得清清洁洁,这就是忠于神的家。
二、坚信听神的话(V7-19)
1.硬心的问题(V7-11)
圣灵有话说,只可惜人往往听不到。神说话可以透过异象、感动、启示,甚至说所读的经文。但是人如果不愿意领受,不愿意听从,人就心里越来越刚硬,这就有祸了!人最大的问题就是【不听】,不听的问题在于硬心!不肯听劝,不肯悔改,不愿受教。
神怎么对付不听话的孩子呢?最终失去所应许的安息、失去所应许的佳美产业。并且一辈子就不断的绕旷野,甚至最终都死在旷野。到死都不明白这是神的作为,人是死于自己的硬心。
2.不信的问题(V12-19)
(1.)不信就是离弃永生神! (V12)回到罪恶的死路!
(2.)被迷惑内心变得刚硬。 (V13)不肯低头死不改!
(3.)信心就需要坚持到底。 (V14)唯有坚信是出路。
(4.)不信硬心会遭惹神怒。 (V15)神若发怒人死定!
(5.)不信就要面对旷野路。 (V17)旷野漂流是咒诅!
(6.)不信则没有了安息日。 (V18)日子幸苦无安宁!
所谓相信其实就是信神的应许,只要坚定保守自己的信心,在神绝对没有难成的事。
总结:认定身份活出呼召
认真看到自己在神面前的呼召和身份,我们无论从事什么行业?只要看神的“天召”为正业,世界上的工作为副业。
我们就要活出超级无敌的属天人生,直到全宇宙的主亲自向教会显现,向我们施恩,充满了神迹奇事。
Hebrews 3: The Holy Heavenly Calling
Gk611 Morning Devotion
06/01/2022
Speaker: Rev David Tan
Introduction: How honourable is a person? Sometimes it will matter who he is working for.
1. Be Faithful To The House Of God (v1-6)
(1) Holy Brothers Who Are Called to Holiness By God (v1)
What a divine and glorious election and calling, which is our honored identity and position.
This calling is given an extraordinary life, which the Bible describes as [holiness]. This is the stature that God has given us. Can we not keep ourselves well?
(2) The Lord Who Thinks of Being Faithful For The House of God (v2)
Jesus' calling was to be a messenger of salvation; but His identity was that of a high priest. His duty is to be faithful in the house of God.
The Lord is the achiever of salvation; we are the witnesses and bearers of salvation. He is the High Priest, and we are the intercessory priests between the world and God, the royal priests who travel the authority of God. The Lord Jesus has been faithful in the house of God and has become an example for us, shall we not also be faithful in the house of God?
(3) Boldly Holding On To The Hope that We Can Boast (v6)
Today we are in the church, God's house, and our participation in ministry here is an internship for the eternal home of the future. Learn to work faithfully for God, with hope, with boldness (even when there are trials and difficulties), and to persevere to the end. In the end, we will be a true family of God.
Think about your faithfulness in the house of God? How are you going to be faithful in the house of God? Go and serve the needy and work in the house of God, which means go there wherever there is a need. You are faithful to the house of God when you have such a heart and mind, when you act in such a way and live cleanly.
2. Firmly Believe In Hearing The Word of God (v7-19)
(1) The problem Of Hard Heart (v7-11)
The Holy Spirit has something to say, but unfortunately people often do not hear it. God can speak through visions, inspiration, revelations, and even through the scriptures that are read. But if man is not willing to receive and obey, he becomes more and more hardened in his heart, and woe to him! The greatest problem of man is [not listening], and the problem of not listening is hardness of heart! Unwilling to listen, unwilling to repent, unwilling to be taught.
How does God deal with disobedient children? In the end, they lose the promised rest and the promised good inheritance. And he kept going around the wilderness all his life, and even died in the wilderness. He died without understanding that this was the work of God, and that man died because of his own hardness of heart.
(2) The Problem Of Unbelief (v12-19)
(1.) To disbelieve is to forsake the living God! (V12.) To return to the deadly path of sin!
(2.) Deceived and hardened inside. (V13) refuse to bow down and die!
(3.) Faith requires perseverance to the end. (V14) The only way out is to believe.
(4.) Unbelief and hardness of heart will provoke the wrath of God. (V15) If God is angry, people will die!
(5.) Unbelief will face the wilderness road. (V17) Wilderness drifting is a curse!
(6.) If you don't believe, there is no more Sabbath. (V18) There is no peace in the days of misery!
Believing is actually believing in God's promises. As long as one keeps one's faith firmly, there is absolutely nothing difficult to accomplish in God.
Conclusion: Recognise Identity and Living Out Calling
Seriously see our calling and identity before God, no matter what industry we are in? Just look at God's "heavenly calling" as our main job, and the work of the world as our secondary job.
We must live a superb heavenly life until the Lord of the universe himself appears to the church and shows us grace, full of signs and wonders.
