19-26節--信心的重要性

出埃及記 第20章

神將十誡頒布給摩西之後，便隨即指示百姓建造獻祭的祭壇。神彷彿是要向百姓明言：「我雖然將律法賜給你們，但律法卻不能救你們，還必須用祭牲所流的血，來為你們贖罪。而且，當你們按照我的吩咐獻上祭物的時候，你們還必須對我有信心，相信我會因著那血而赦免你們的罪。」

此外還要留意的是，神指示以色列民建造的祭壇，款式十分簡單。祭壇不設臺階，方便任何人走到祭壇前面獻祭；而且，在神面前，人人都是平等的，不再分任何等級。

耶穌基督在各各他山上為我們流血犧牲的那個祭壇也是一樣。任何人都可以毫無阻隔地直接來到祂的面前。只要我們相信耶穌基督是為我們的罪受死，且相信祂的血必能洗淨我們的罪，我們就得著神的赦免。

神其後再指示百姓，在會幕中設置祭壇。會幕是神與人相會的地方。會幕的設立是要提醒百姓緊記，所有前來獻祭的人，都必須憑著信心將祭牲獻上，且藉著所流的血來到神的面前。

今天信徒不用再到祭壇面前獻祭，因為神已經接納耶穌基督在各各他的山上，為我們全人類獻上最後的祭；祂所流出的寶血，已洗清我們的罪。如今，人只要憑著信心來到各各他這個祭壇面前，就可得著神的赦罪。你是否已經憑著信心來到基督的祭壇前，接受祂作為你的救主呢？

「被殺的祭牲在猶太祭壇上所流的血，

不足以全面洗淨我們的罪污；

只有神的羔羊所傾流的血，

才能徹底洗清我們的罪。」

THE NECESSITY OF FAITH

God had just finished giving the Ten Commandments to Moses. Now suddenly he mentions an altar for their sacrifices. It was as if he said straight after giving the law, it is not the law that will save you. There must be the shedding of blood too. And with that blood there must be faith to believe that I will forgive your sin, when you offer your sacrifices in the way I command you.

Notice also the simple way the altar was to be built. There were to be no steps up to it. It must be within easy reach of everyone. Everyone would be on the same level.

So it is with Calvary. There are no barriers in the way of anyone who wants to come to Jesus Christ. The way is always open and everyone must come with the same faith in Christ who died there for sin.

God later gave instruction concerning the altar in the tabernacle. It was the one place where God said he would meet with his people. It was the place that reminded everyone that only way to come to God was by the blood of the sacrifice, offered with faith in the heart of the one who came to the altar.

There is no altar for us to bring our sacrifices to today. The last blood-stained altar which God recognised was the cross on Calvarys low hill. It is the only place where God can receive a sinner. Have you ever been there by faith? God will meet you and welcome you if you come in the name of Christ and in faith that he can be your Saviour. Why not come today?

Not all the blood of beasts on Jewish altars slain,

Could give the guilty conscience peace or wash away the stain,

But Christ the heavenly Lamb, takes all my sin away,

A sacrifice of nobler ram, and richer blood than they.
