聖幕 (2)

聖幕 (2)
聖經閱讀：出埃及記25:1-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年2月27日(五)

在今天的經文中，上帝開始吩咐摩西如何建造祂的聖幕。聖幕是用許多很昂貴的材料所建造的──金、銀、銅、特殊木材，以及上好的布料。用來建造聖幕的材料在今天會花費超過一百萬元！ 　以色列人如何收集這些材料呢？第2節說是人們自由奉獻的。事實上，人們的奉獻太多，以致於後來摩西必須告訴他們停止奉獻（出埃及記35:22-36:5）！ 　聖幕和它的院子位於以色列人營地的中央，以色列的十二個支族每一次停留時都在這個院子的四周紮營。院子裡面是一個長45呎、寬15呎的建築結構，裡面被分隔成聖所和至聖所。我們很快就會談到在這些地方的擺設。 　上帝對聖幕的計劃是完美的，上帝對你的生命也有一個計劃。今天就將你的生命交託給上帝。—JK 「人民要為我造一個聖所，好讓我住在他們當中。」 出埃及記25:8 禱告：親愛的上帝，祢完美無暇，祢的計劃永遠是完美的；謝謝祢藉著耶穌賜下救恩。奉主的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Holy Tent (2)
Bible Reading: Exodus 25:1-9
Friday, February 27, 2015

In our Bible verses, God begins to tell Moses how to build the Holy Tent. The Holy Tent was made from very expensive materials — gold, silver, bronze, special woods and fine cloths. Today the materials used in building the Holy Tent would cost over one million dollars! 　How did the Israelites gather the materials? Verse 2 says that the people gave willingly. In fact, the people gave so much that later Moses had to tell them to stop giving (Exodus 35:22-36:5)! 　The Holy Tent and its courtyard were in the center of where the Israelites camped. The twelve tribes of Israel camped around this courtyard each time they stopped. Inside the courtyard was a structure that was 45 feet by 15 feet. This was divided into the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. Soon we will talk about the furnishings in these places. 　God’s plan for the Holy Tent was perfect. God has a plan for your life, too. Give your life to Him today. —JK “The people will build a holy place for me. Then I can live among them.” Exodus 25:8 PRAYER: Dear God, You are perfect, and Your plans are always perfect. Thank You for salvation through Jesus. In His name. Amen.
