披上圣衣，分别为圣，承担使命，蒙神悦纳。
1. 神拣选的祭司：蒙召入圣洁服事
神拣选亚伦家族成为祭司，代表以色列服事神、代求百姓。服事神不仅是外在任务，更是分别为圣、与神同行的生命。
2. 圣衣象征圣洁：内外合一的分别
圣衣不仅是外在装饰，更代表服事者的荣耀、职分和责任。新约信徒皆为祭司，而我们都是被神所召的祭司（彼前2:9）。今天我们服事神，也要分别为圣，我们才可为神供祭司的职分。
1. 以弗得：肩负百姓重担（V6-14）
肩带上刻有以色列十二支派的名字，象征祭司为百姓代求。我们是否愿意承担别人的重担，在祷告中背负家庭、教会、国家？
2. 胸牌：贴近神心意（V15-30）
12块宝石代表十二支派，紧贴胸前，象征爱与记念。乌陵土明——祭司要寻求神的指引，依靠神做决策。
3. 外袍：活出属天见证（V31-35）
蓝色象征天上的权柄，提醒祭司的身份属天、不属地。袍下金铃铛与石榴——祭司的生命要有见证，散发基督的香气。
4. 金牌冠冕：归耶和华为圣（V36-39）
额上的金牌刻着「归耶和华为圣」，提醒祭司要分别为圣。作为神的儿女，我们是否在行为、言语、思想上归神为圣？
1. 裹头巾：顺服神的权柄。
2. 细麻布裤子：遮盖肉体的羞耻。
3. 腰带：束腰预备服事。
1. 神在意我们里外的圣洁。2. 服事是荣耀也是责任。3. 生命的圣洁是最美的圣衣。
Exodus 28
Holy Service, Total Devotion to God
14/03/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Asher
Put on holy garments, be holy, take on missions, and be accepted by God
1. God’s chosen priests: called into holy service
God chose the family of Aaron to be priests to serve God and intercede for the people on behalf of Israel. Serving God is not only an external task, but also a life of being sanctified and walking with God.
2. Holy garments symbolize holiness: the distinction between the unity of inside and outside
Holy garments are not only external decorations, but also represent the glory, duties and responsibility of the servants. New Testament believers are all priests, and we are all priests called by God (1 Peter 2:9). Today, when we serve God, we must also be sanctified so that we can serve as priests for God.
1. Ephod: Carrying the Burden of the People (V6-14)
The names of the twelve tribes of Israel are engraved on the shoulder straps, symbolizing the priests interceding for the people. Are we willing to bear the burdens of others and carry our families, churches, and nations in prayer?
2. Breastplate: Close to God’s Will (V15-30)
The 12 gemstones represent the 12 tribes, and are placed close to the chest, symbolizing love and remembrance. Urim and Thummim—Priests must seek God’s guidance and rely on God to make decisions.
3. Robe: Live out a heavenly testimony (V31-35)
The blue colour symbolizes the authority of heaven, reminding the priests that their identity is heavenly, not earthly. The golden bells and pomegranates under the robes – the priests’ lives must bear witness and emit the fragrance of Christ.
4. Gold Plate and Crown: Holy to the Lord (V36-39)
The gold plate on the forehead is engraved with "HOLINESS TO THE LORD", reminding the priests to be holy. As children of God, are we holy to God in our actions, words, and thoughts?
1. Wearing hats: obeying God’s authority.
2. Wearing linen trousers: covering the shame of the flesh.
3. Wearing sashes: girdling the waist to prepare for service.
1. God cares about our inner and outer holiness. 2. Serving is both an honour and a responsibility. 3. The holiness of life is the most beautiful holy garment.
