1-3節--基督的榮耀
希伯來書 第1章
今天選讀的經文雖然跟昨天一樣,不過,我們今天會把重點放在基督的身上。希伯來書的其中一個要旨,是指出基督遠超過一切,所以,讓我們首先細讀開頭的幾節經文為我們描繪了一位怎樣奇妙的基督。
在這短短幾節的經文中,已經包含了有關基督的七句重要聲明。
祂是神所選立,將要承受萬有的那一位。
祂曾創造諸世界。
祂顯出神的榮耀。
祂是神本體的真像。
祂托住萬有。
祂洗淨人的罪。
祂坐在神的右邊。
「承受萬有」是甚麼意思呢?終有一天,神將會按照祂的計劃,把萬有放在基督的腳下,作為基督甘願死在十架上的一項?賞(腓二8-11)。而且,所有信徒將來也會與基督同享一切。
基督為何要離開天上,降世為人呢?因為祂愛我們,知道我們需要祂的救贖。不要忘記,基督是獨個兒來到世界,可是,卻有許多人可以跟隨祂回到天家。祂已經在各各他的山上成就祂的工作,如今,祂滿心喜樂地迎接每位悔改的罪人回到祂的父家。
反思:
基督甚至為我捨己犧牲,我究竟有沒有向祂感恩呢?

THE GLORY OF THE PERSON OF CHRIST
Yes our reading is the same as yesterday, but today we go a step further and talk together more about Christ himself. The whole purpose of this epistle is to set forth Christ as the highest of all, so we do well to spend time on these opening verses which give us such a marvellous picture of Christ.
There are seven tremendous statements about Christ in these verses:
He is the God-appointed heir of all things.
He created the worlds.
He shows the glory of God.
He is the perfect image of God.
He maintains all things.
He purifies us from our sin.
He has sat down at Gods right hand.
What does heir of all things mean? God will one day bring all things under the feet of Christ. This is Gods plan and in one way it will be a reward for Christs death on the cross (Philippians 2:8-11). We, as believers, will one day share with him in all of this.
Why did this wonderful person ever leave heaven and come down here? Because of his love for us and because of our need. Remember he came from heaven alone, but many have joined him there since he returned. His work was completed at Calvary and now it is a great joy to him to welcome each saved sinner into the Fathers house.
A QUESTION:
Does my life show my thankfulness for what Christ did for me?
