一分鐘解答利未記是關於什麽的?WHAT THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS ISABOUT - INONE MINUTE
作者: Nicholas Davis 譯者: Maria Marta
上帝是聖潔的,我們不是。利未記的每一頁都清晰显明上帝的聖潔。利未記大聲疾呼,我們迫切需要血乃因為我們需要另一個人的血來潔凈我們的罪。
我們在舊約聖經常讀到的祭祀制度每日每年都在提醒以色列人,向他們顯視他們需要比摩西更好的中保,比舊盟約更好的盟約。他們需要耶穌和新(盟)約。
公牛和山羊的血不能把罪除去(來十4)。 祭司天天都站著事奉,獻上相同的「永遠不能把罪除去」的祭品(來十11)。
耶穌基督是我們的大祭司,祂為我們在十字架上獻上自己,為我們的罪獻上了一次永遠有效的贖罪祭,祂此刻正為我們代求(來七25; 十12)。一言蔽之,利未記是一卷真正關於耶穌的書卷。
WHAT THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS IS
ABOUT - IN ONE MINUTE

God
is holy, and we are not. The book of Leviticus makes the holiness of God
crystal clear on every page. It cries out for blood, because we need the blood
of another to cleanse us of our sins.
The
sacrificial system that we read about so much in the Old Testament served as a
daily and annual reminder for the people of Israel, showing them their need of
a better mediator than Moses and a better covenant than the old one. They needed
Jesus and the New Covenant.
It is
impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin (Heb. 10:4). The
priest stood daily to offer the same sacrifices which “can never take away
sins” (Heb. 10:11).
Jesus
Christ is our High Priest who both offered himself for us on the cross as the
once-for-all sacrifice for sin and who presently makes intercession for us
(Heb. 7:25; 10:12). In short, the book of Leviticus is really all about Jesus.
