聖幕 (9)
聖經閱讀：出埃及記25:10-22 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年3月6日(五)

在聖幕中最重要的擺設是約櫃，它用金合歡木（皂莢木）製作、用黃金包裹，櫃長一百一十公分，寬六十六公分，高六十六公分。這櫃有一個被稱為「蔽罪座」的蓋子，在蔽罪座的兩端各有一尊金色的天使。大祭司每年在這裡灑一次血。 　希伯來書9:4列出放在約櫃裡面的東西，它們是：一罐嗎哪、亞倫的杖，以及十誡。這三件東西分別提醒以色列人：上帝供應他們、上帝是滿有能力的，以及祂保護他們。 　在約櫃上灑血是以色列人讓他們的罪得到赦免的方式。在新約聖經中，耶穌告訴祂的門徒，通往上帝的唯一道路就是透過耶穌。約翰福音14:6說：「耶穌說：『我就是道路、真理、生命；要不是藉著我，沒有人能到父親那裏去。』」 　耶穌是通往上帝的唯一道路，今天就跟隨祂！ —JK 「兩個基路伯面對著面，張開翅膀，覆蓋著櫃蓋。」 出埃及記25:20b 禱告：主，我知道耶穌是祢的兒子，我願每天跟從並順服祂。奉主的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Holy Tent (9)
Bible Reading: Exodus 25:10-22
Friday, March 6, 2015

The most important furnishing in the Holy Tent was the Box of the Agreement. It was made of acacia wood, covered with gold and was 3.75 feet long, 2.25 feet wide and 2.25 feet high. The Box had a lid called the mercy-cover. On the ends of the mercy-cover were two golden angels. Here the High Priest sprinkled blood once a year. 　Hebrews 9:4 lists the things that were inside the Box of Agreement. They were: a jar of manna, Aaron’s rod and the Ten Commandments. These three things reminded the Israelites that God provided for them, that He was powerful and that He protected them. 　Sprinkling blood on the Box of the Agreement was the way the Israelites could have their sins forgiven. In the New Testament, Jesus told His disciples that the only way to God was through Him. John 14:6 says, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.’” 　Jesus is the only way to God. Follow Him today! —JK “The angels should cover the Box with their wings and should face each other, looking toward the mercy-cover.” Exodus 25:20b PRAYER: Lord, I know that Jesus is Your Son. I want to follow and obey Him every day. In His name. Amen.
