聖潔

聖潔
聖經閱讀：以賽亞書6:1-7 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年1月25日(一)

在我們今天的閱讀經文中，先知以賽亞看見主坐在聖殿至高且奇妙的寶座上，穿著覆蓋住整個聖殿的長袍。以賽亞也看到圍繞著主的撒拉弗天使，他們用自己的翅膀遮住臉和身體。我想他們這麼做，是因為主上帝是聖潔的。
在出埃及記第3章摩西也發生了同樣的事。當上帝在燃燒的荊棘中向摩西顯現時，摩西遮住自己的臉（第6節），因為摩西知道上帝是聖潔的。
以賽亞在聖殿看到這些遮著臉和身體的天使後，以賽亞書6:3記載著他聽到他們對彼此說：「聖哉，聖哉，聖哉！上主─萬軍的統帥！他的榮耀充滿全地。」

上帝的的確確是聖潔的、是完全無瑕的。上帝從不犯罪，祂也不可能犯罪，上帝喜愛一切純潔、良善和聖潔的事。感謝上帝透過祂的兒子耶穌賜下赦罪之恩，讓我們也可以聖潔。作為祂的兒女，上帝希望我們活出像祂一樣的生命。 —CPE*

「那位呼召你們的上帝是聖潔的；你們也必須在所做的一切事上聖潔。」 彼得前書1:15

禱告：上帝，祢是聖潔、聖潔、聖潔。謝謝祢赦免我的罪。奉耶穌的名。阿們！

Holy
Bible Reading: Isaiah 6:1-7
Monday, January 25, 2016

In our Bible Reading for today, the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on a very high and wonderful throne in the temple. The Lord was wearing a long robe that filled the temple. Isaiah also saw seraph angels around the Lord. The angels used their wings to cover their faces and bodies. I believe they did this because the Lord God is holy.
The same thing happened with Moses in Exodus 3. When God appeared to Moses in a burning bush, Moses covered his face (verse 6). Moses knew that God is holy.
After Isaiah saw the angels in the temple cover their faces and bodies, he heard them say to each other in Isaiah 6:3, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord All-Powerful. His Glory fills the whole earth.”

God is truly holy. He is perfect. God has never sinned. He can never sin. God loves everything that is pure and good and holy. Thanks to God and His forgiveness of our sins through His Son, Jesus, we can be holy, too. As His children, God wants us to live like Him. —CPE*

“Be holy in everything you do, just as God is holy. He is the one who chose you.” 1 Peter 1:15

PRAYER: God, You are holy, holy, holy. Thank You for forgiveness of my sins. In Jesus' name. Amen.
