【回应基督的献上】

主讲: 陈惠菁传道

引言：旧拖鞋

一、一次献上使人完全（v1-18）

1.律法的献祭断不能除罪（v1-9）
经文已开始就以“影儿”和“真像”来对比旧约和新约。旧约律法只不过是将来要发生、美好事情的影子，不是本身的真像。将来美事就是使我们成圣完全，能进入天上的会幕，到神的面前。既然律法不是本物的真像，人就不能藉着每年献一样的祭物，得到完全的赦罪、良心得洁净。如果人的罪可以靠着大祭司在赎罪日牵着牛羊，独自进入至圣所为百姓赎罪，就可以除去的话，那就不需要每一年都献赎罪祭了。此外，律法的献祭断不能除罪， v3这些祭物是叫人每年想起罪来。就好像那旧拖鞋一样，被领养的孩子，每次看到旧拖鞋时，就让他想到自己的孤儿身份。人的罪与牛和羊的血之间并没有真正的关系。如果牛和羊能说话，相信他们一定会抗议。既然如此，神在旧约里，为什么要百姓献祭呢？V5-9，整个旧约的献祭，不是神最终的心意，只是要让人看到自己是有罪的罪，并且自己，甚至世上的大祭司，都无法使自己脱离罪。因此旧约的献祭是为了预表耶稣基督，将来为人类献上自己。耶稣是那更美的祭，且是能够使我们永远完全的祭。

2.基督一次献上永远赎罪（v10-18）
经文说到，基督一次以自己的身体献祭，叫我们能被分别为圣与神的关系得以修复。V12 基督献了一次永远有效的赎罪祭，就坐在神的右边。这表明基督一次的献祭是有永远除罪的果效。为什么基督的一次献上能使我们完全的呢？

第一、基督的献上是完全遵行了神的旨意。因着基督的顺服，我们蒙恩得救赎。其次，基督是无罪的，但却成为代罪羔羊，流血将自己的生命一次过完全献上，为我们成就了完美的赎罪祭。并且，v13等候他仇敌成了他的脚凳。所以是得胜的献上。基督已经得胜仇敌，坐在神的右边。我们信祂的也一样得胜了仇敌。

我们既蒙了这么大的恩典，成为那得以成圣的人，成圣不仅是我们的身份地位，也该是我们的生活表现，所以我们应当天天继续不断地靠着圣洁的灵，圣别我们的思想、爱好、言语和行为，作个坚守指望实践信仰的圣徒。

二、坚守指望实践信仰（v19-31）

1.靠主献上入至圣所 （v19-23）
‘又新又活’原文意思是‘被新鮮屠宰’，所以這是一條新鮮、有生命的路。

当耶稣在十字架上断气时，圣所与至圣所之间的幔子就从上而下地裂开；所以主的死，不但救赎我们，洗净我们的良心和身体，是我们的灵魂体成圣，祂更是为我们开了前往至圣所，让我们穿过祂血淋淋的身体，进入至圣所亲近神。所以，弟兄姐妹，主既然为我们付了这么大的代价，打破了身体，为我们开通了前往至圣所的道路，我们就应当给与回应，竭力时时存着诚心和充足的信心，进入至圣所来亲近神。以至于我们能在各种的环境都能胜过，走在属神的路上而不走向世界的道路

2.在神家中彼此相顾（v24-25）
实践信仰是主希望祂每个儿女们在生活都能真实活出的生命。而且最基本的是从神的家开始。耶稣是教会的头，我们都是祂的身体。因此，主要我们先在祂的身体里操练爱心。人与人之间要有真实互动，才会学习到爱和包容，磨出谦卑柔和的生命。今天我们能回到实体聚会、小组，我们真的要珍惜，因为这是神的心意。也是操练和建造我们属灵敬虔生命的平台。如果我们觉得我在网上听道也一样啊，那也许我们还不是真正的基督徒，而只是个有基督教知识的人罢了。对神的认识只停留在理论。但真正的基督徒，明白主的心意，并知道主期盼我们是万民做主门徒。

3.不故意犯罪藐视神（v26-31）
基督信仰没有一次得救永远得救的圣经真理。一个“得知真道以后”的人，如果还心存不良动机的故意习惯性地持续犯罪，不悔改，他就是将耶稣踩在脚下、藐视神和侮辱圣灵，经文告诉我们，这样的人，结局就是地狱的火湖（V27）。让我们常存谦卑的心，拥有悔改的生命。

三、勇敢前进得大赏赐（v32-39）

1. 勇敢面对大争战（v32-35）
当时的信徒在信主之后，曾经为着福音遭受逼迫，忍受大争战的各样苦难，被毁谤，遭患难，成了戏景被人耻笑、受羞辱。虽然如此，他们仍然体恤了那些被捆锁的人。甚至家业被人抢去，也甘心忍受、没有怨天尤人。因为他们知道自己有更美长存的家业在天上，所以轻看地上的损失。有大争战时，就必有神预备的大赏赐。所以我们要靠主基督勇敢的迎战。

2. 忍耐前进不后退（v36-39）
很多人走不下去是因为退后的路太容易了。我们身上有很多不属神的地方、性格、一直在不断被更新调整，很多伤害神要医治、很多试探是从恶者而来，要诱惑我们。这一切都会使我们退后。

今天，整个世界的局势，让我们意识到那要来的就来，并不迟延。黑暗权势都在做最后的垂死挣扎，拼命攻击混乱神的儿女。在这样的光景里，我们不但要为真理勇敢地不妥协于世界和仇敌的攻击，更当在越困难的环境中忍耐前进不后退。因为耶稣已经为我们成就了得胜的应许。

总结：以生命回应主

基督为我们连生命都可以献上，把整个天堂的丰盛和荣耀都给了我们。我们当怎样来回应这位深爱我们的主呢？没有什么比用生命来回应祂更有意义。让我们常常奔入神的至圣所，与神建立美好关系。且靠主在生活中实践我们的信仰，竭力活出圣洁讨神喜悦的生命。在逆境中勇敢前进不后退，直到的见主面。阿门！

Hebrews 10: Response to Christ's offering
GK611 Morning Devotion
13/04/2023
Speakers: Ps Deborah

Introduction: Old Slippers

1. One offering makes men perfect (v1-18)

(1) The law of sacrifice can never take away sin (v1-9)
From the very beginning of the scriptures, the Old Testament and the New Testament are compared with the "shadow" and "reality". The Old Testament law is only a shadow of good things that will happen in the future, not the real image itself. The good things in the future will make us sanctified and perfected so that we can enter the heavenly Tabernacle and come before God. Since the law is not the true image of things, people cannot obtain complete forgiveness of sins and cleanse their consciences by offering the same sacrifice every year. If people’s sins could be removed by solely relying on the high priest to lead the cattle and sheep on the Day of Atonement and enter the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the people, then there would be no need to offer sin offerings every year. Furthermore, the law of sacrifices could never take away sins, v3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. Just like the old slippers, the adopted child, every time he sees the old slippers, reminds him of his orphan status. There is no real relationship between human sin and the blood of cattle and sheep. If cattle and sheep could talk, I believe they would protest. That being the case, why did God ask the people to offer sacrifices in the Old Testament? V5-9, the sacrifices in the whole Old Testament are not God’s ultimate intention, they are just to make people see that they are guilty of sin and that they, even the high priests of the world, cannot free themselves from sin. Therefore, the sacrifices in the Old Testament were to foreshadow Jesus Christ, who would sacrifice himself for mankind in the future. Jesus is the better sacrifice and the sacrifice that can make us perfect forever.

(2) Christ's once-for-all atonement (v10-18) The scriptures say that Christ sacrificed His body once so that we can be sanctified and our relationship with God can be restored. V12 But Christ after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. This shows that the one sacrifice of Christ had the effect of taking away sin forever. Why does one sacrifice of Christ make us perfect?

First, the offering of Christ fully complied with the will of God. Through the obedience of Christ, we are saved by grace. Second, Christ was innocent but became a scapegoat, who shed his blood and sacrificed His life once and for all, making a perfect sin offering for us. And v13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. So, it is a victorious offering. Christ has overcome the enemy and is seated at the right hand of God. We who believe in Him also overcome the enemy.

Since we have received such great grace and become the ones who can be sanctified, Sanctification is not only our status, but should also be the expression of our life. so we should continue to sanctify ourselves daily by the Holy Spirit, consecrate our thoughts, hobbies, words, and deeds, and be a saint who holds fast to hope and practices the faith.

2. Hold fast to hope and practise faith (v19-31)

(1). Consecrated into the Holy of Holies by the Lord (v19-23)
"a new and living" in the original text mean "freshly butchered," so this is a fresh and living path.

When Jesus died on the cross, the veil between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom; so the death of the Lord not only redeemed us but also cleansed our conscience and body, sanctifying our soul and body, He even opened the way for us to go to the Holy of Holies, allowing us to pass through His bloody body and enter the Holy of Holies to get closer to God. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since the Lord has paid such a great price for us, broke the body, and opened the way for us to go to the Holy of Holies, we should respond to it and do our best to always enter the Holy of Holies with sincerity and sufficient faith, to draw near to God. So that we can overcome all kinds of environments and walk on the path of God instead of the path of the world.

(2) Care for each other in the family of God (v24-25)
Practising faith is the life that the Lord wants each of His children to truly live out in their lives. And the most basic thing is to start with the family of God. Jesus is the head of the church, and we are all His body. Therefore, the Lord wants us to first practice love in His body. Only when there is real interaction between people can they learn love and tolerance and cultivate a humble and gentle life. Today we can return to physical gatherings and cell groups. We really must cherish it because this is God’s will. It is also a platform to practice and build our spiritual and godly life. If we feel that it is the same when listening to sermons online, then maybe we are not real Christians, but just people with Christian knowledge. The knowledge of God is only theoretical. But true Christians understand the heart of the Lord and know that the Lord expects us to be disciples of all nations.

(3) Do not sin intentionally and defy God (v26-31)
Christianity does not have the biblical truth of once saved always saved. If a person “after learning the truth” continues to sin intentionally and habitually with bad motives and does not repent, he has as if trampled Jesus under his feet, despise God and insult the Holy Spirit. The scriptures tell us that for such a person, the ending is the lake of fire in hell (V27). Let us always have a humble heart and a life of repentance.

3. Great Reward for Going Forward (v32-39)

(1) Facing a Great Controversy (v32-35)
After believing in the Lord, believers at that time suffered persecution for the sake of the gospel, endured all kinds of sufferings in the Great War, were slandered, suffered tribulations, and became ridiculed and humiliated by others. Even so, they showed sympathy for those in chains. Even when his family property was robbed, he willingly endured it without complaining. Because they know they have a better and lasting inheritance in heaven, they despise earthly losses. When there is a great battle, there will be a great reward prepared by God. Therefore, we must rely on the Lord Christ to face it bravely.

(2) Forward with patience and not backward (v36-39)
Many people can't go on because the way back is too easy. There are many ungodly places and characters in us that are constantly being renewed and adjusted, many injuries God wants to heal, and many temptations come from the evil one to tempt us. All of this will make us retreat.

Today, the situation in the whole world makes us realise that what is coming will come without delay. The forces of darkness are making their last dying struggle, desperately attacking the children of God. In such a situation, we should not only bravely and uncompromisingly resist the attacks of the world and the enemy for the truth, but we should also advance unwearyingly and not retreat even in a more difficult environment. Because Jesus has fulfilled the promise of victory for us.

Conclusion: Responding to the Lord with life

Christ gave His life for us and gave us the fullness and glory of heaven. How should we respond to the Lord who loves us so much? Nothing is more meaningful than responding to Him with your life. Let us often enter God's holiest place and establish a beautiful relationship with God. And rely on the Lord to practice our faith in our lives and strive to live a holy life that pleases God. Go forward bravely in the face of adversity and never retreat until you finally meet the Lord. Amen!
