帳幔

聖經閱讀：出埃及記26:31-36

     2015年10月26日(一)

參觀豪宅是我很喜歡做的一件事，我總是會注意那些高大的窗戶和華麗的窗簾，我好奇想知道他們是如何保持這些窗戶和窗簾的乾淨！

我們今天閱讀的經文跟我們談到聖幕中一幅華麗的帳幔，這是上帝設計的帳幔，所以我們知道它一定非常美麗，第31節說：「要用麻紗和藍色、紫色、深紅色的毛線織成一幅帳幔，上面繡著基路伯圖案。」這幅帳幔把聖所和至聖所隔開，大祭司會每年一次進入至聖所為以色列人的罪獻祭。

新約聖經跟我們談到有一幅類似的帳幔掛在耶路撒冷的聖殿中，當耶穌死在十字架上的時候，這幅帳幔裂成兩半，這向我們顯明，唯有耶穌能赦免我們的罪並且帶領我們親近上帝。你要感謝上帝差派耶穌為了你的罪受死！ －DB

「那麼，弟兄姊妹們，我們藉著耶穌的死可以坦然無懼地進到至聖所。」

希伯來書10:19

禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢藉著耶穌賜下救恩。奉主的名，阿們！

(林威妮譯)

Curtains

Bible Reading: Exodus 26:31-36

Monday, October 26, 2015

One thing I enjoy doing is touring old mansions. I always notice the tall windows and the fancy curtains. I wonder how they kept those windows and curtains clean!

Our Bible Reading today tells us about a fancy curtain in the Holy Tent. God designed this curtain, so we know that it must have been very beautiful. Verse 31 says, “Use fine linen and make a special curtain for the inside of the Holy Tent. Use blue, purple, and red yarn and sew pictures of Cherub angels into the curtain.” This curtain separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. One time a year, the high priest would enter the Most Holy Place to make a sacrifice for the sins of the Israelites.

The New Testament tells us about a similar curtain that hung in the temple in Jerusalem. When Jesus died on the cross, that curtain was torn in two. That shows us that Jesus is the only one who can forgive our sins and bring us close to God. Thank God for sending Jesus to die for your sins! —DB

“And so, brothers and sisters, we are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place. We can do this without fear because of the blood sacrifice of Jesus.” Hebrews 10:19

PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for salvation through Jesus. In His name. Amen.
