聖幕 (6)
聖經閱讀：出埃及記25:23-30 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年3月3日(二)

聖幕中的另外一個擺設是一張桌子，這張桌子是用金合歡木（皂莢木）作的，上面用純金包裹。它長八十八公分，寬四十四公分，高六十六公分。 　在這張桌子上，祭司擺放了十二條麵包，這些麵包分別代表以色列的十二個支族。在聖所服事的祭司會吃這些麵包，每一個安息日（星期六），祭司會拿掉吃剩的麵包並擺上新麵包。這麵包提醒以色列人，上帝永遠照顧他們；在他們離開埃及後，上帝用嗎哪餵養他們很多年。上帝供應祂的子民，他們總是有夠吃的食物。 　在約翰福音6:35，耶穌稱祂自己是「生命的食糧」，就像我們必須吃麵包和其他東西才能活著一樣，我們在靈性上也需要耶穌才能活著。今天你需要耶穌，請你從上帝的話語，聖經，來認識祂，並謝謝耶穌為你的罪接受刑罰。 —JK 「耶穌對他們說：『我就是生命的食糧；到我這裏來的，永遠不餓；信我的，永遠不渴。」 約翰福音6:35 禱告：親愛的天父，謝謝祢總是照顧我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Holy Tent (6)
Bible Reading: Exodus 25:23-30
Tuesday, March 3, 2015

Another piece of furniture in the Holy Place was a table. This table was made from acacia wood and covered with pure gold. It was 3 feet long, 1.5 feet wide and 2.25 feet high. 　On the table, the priests placed twelve loaves of bread. These loaves represented the twelve tribes of Israel. The priests who served in the Holy Place ate this bread. Every Sabbath day (Saturday) the priests removed any leftover bread and put out new bread. This bread reminded the Israelites that God always took care of them. After they left Egypt, God fed them for many years with manna. God provided for His people. They always had enough to eat. 　In John 6:35 Jesus called Himself “the bread that gives life.” Just as we need to eat bread and other foods to stay alive, we need Jesus to stay alive spiritually. You need Jesus today. Learn about Him from God's Word, the Bible. Thank Jesus for accepting the punishment for your sins. —JK “Then Jesus said, ‘I am the bread that gives life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry. No one who believes in me will ever be thirsty.” John 6:35 PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for always taking care of me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
