聖經閱讀：出埃及記26:31-35 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年3月5日(四)

有一幅幔子將聖所跟至聖所隔開，這幅幔子是用厚重的毛線織成的，寬450公分。 　大祭司一年一次通過這幅幔子進到至聖所裡，他會灑血在約櫃上。這是以色列人讓他們罪得赦免的方式。 　這幅幔子代表上帝和祂的子民之間的隔絶。上帝厭惡罪，祂不能接近罪沒有得赦免的人。馬太福音27:51告訴我們，當耶穌死在十字架上時，在聖殿中的這幅幔子撕裂成兩半，這顯示出，因著耶穌的死，人就不必再與上帝隔絶了。 　我希望你親近上帝。你是否已經決定藉著悔改自己的罪、承認祂的名，以及受洗來跟從耶穌呢？如果還沒有，今天一定要研讀並遵守祂的話語！ —JK 「這時候，懸掛在聖殿裏的幔子，從上到下裂成兩半。」 馬太福音27:51a 禱告：上帝，我願將耶穌作為生命的主和救主來跟從祂；謝謝祢藉著祂的死和復活賜下救恩。奉主的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Holy Tent (8)
Bible Reading: Exodus 26:31-35
Thursday, March 5, 2015

A curtain separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. This curtain was made from heavy woven cloth and was 15 feet wide. 　Once a year the High Priest went through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. He would sprinkle blood on the Box of the Agreement. This is how the Israelites had their sins forgiven. 　The curtain represented the separation between God and His people. God hates sin, and He cannot be close to people whose sins have not been forgiven. Matthew 27:51 tells us that when Jesus died on the cross, the curtain in the temple was torn into two pieces. This showed that because of Jesus’ death, people didn’t have to be separated from God any more. 　I hope that you are close to God. Have you made the decision to follow Jesus by repenting of your sins, confessing His name and being baptized? If not, be sure to read His Word and obey it today! —JK “When Jesus died, the curtain in the Temple was torn into two pieces. The tear started at the top and tore all the way to the bottom.” Matthew 27:51a PRAYER: God, I want to follow Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for salvation through His death and resurrection. In His name. Amen.
