《祢信實何廣大》Day05
《祢的信實是我們的依靠》
19 弟兄們，我們既因耶穌的血得以坦然進入至聖所，20 是藉著祂給我們開了一條又新又活的路，從幔子經過，這幔子就是祂的身體。21 又有一位大祭司治理神的家，22 並我們心中天良的虧欠已經灑去，身體用清水洗淨了，就當存著誠心和充足的信心來到神面前；23 也要堅守我們所承認的指望，不致搖動，因為那應許我們的是信實的。 (希伯來書十19-23)
4 摩西就鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣。清晨起來，照耶和華所吩咐的上西奈山去，手裏拿著兩塊石版。5 耶和華在雲中降臨，和摩西一同站在那裏，宣告耶和華的名。6 耶和華在他面前宣告說：「耶和華，耶和華，是有憐憫有恩典的神，不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實，7 為千萬人存留慈愛，赦免罪孽、過犯，和罪惡，萬不以有罪的為無罪，必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代。」8 摩西急忙伏地下拜，9 說：「主啊，我若在祢眼前蒙恩，求你在我們中間同行，因為這是硬著頸項的百姓。又求你赦免我們的罪孽和罪惡，以我們為你的產業。」(出埃及記三十四4-9)
19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, iHs body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:19-23)
4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished; He punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” 8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor in Your eyes, then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.” (Exodus 34:4-9)

分享：昨天，我們深刻地確認了「我們縱然失信，祂仍是可信的」(提摩太後書二13) 這確據並不是引誘我們不顧後果地犯罪，而是鼓勵我們抓緊主的信實從罪惡中回歸神。
《希伯來書》勸勉我們既然因耶穌的血洗淨身體、灑去虧欠，靠著主坦然進入至聖所，便「當存著誠心和充足的信心來到神面前；也要堅守我們所承認的指望，不致搖動，因為那應許我們的是信實的。」(參十19-23) 這裡雖然提醒我們要存著誠心和信心，但一切的源頭是因為神是信實的；雖然我們也要堅守、不搖動，但重點在於先給我們指望和應許的神。這與其空泛地說人要有信心，不如說我們應該全心依靠和抓緊神的信實。
當摩西再次按神的指示鑿出兩塊法版時，難免會因以色列人差點因金牛贖的罪滅亡而羞愧和惶恐，但耶和華卻在雲中降臨後描述自己「是有憐憫有恩典的神，不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實 (信實) ，為千萬人存留慈愛，赦免罪孽、過犯，和罪惡，萬不以有罪的為無罪，必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代。」摩西馬上伏拜，求神在他們中間同行，求赦免罪孽和罪惡，讓以色列人為神的產業。(參出埃及記三十四4-9)
既然神就是慈愛和信實的，祂就是祂所指示給我們的那位，祂會做祂所說的事，我們就當全心依靠、持守祂的信實，如摩西般求祂赦免我們的罪惡，繼續經歷祂的同行。正如耶利米歌頌每早晨都是新，神的信實極其廣大後，先知便明志說道：「耶和華是我的分，因此，我要仰望祂。」(耶利米哀歌三24)
最後，就讓我們以《祢信實何廣大》的最後一節作結：“Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine with 10, 000 beside.” (中譯：赦免罪孽，賜下持久的平安，祢親切的同在鼓舞與指引。今天的力量，明天的光明希望，祝福我和身邊的 10,000 人。)
反思：當我說神是信實的，我真正相信祂的甚麼呢？祂會按時供應？原諒我每次的跌倒？還是我其實只相信祂在「事情順利時」才是信實的？
禱告：親愛的天父，感謝祢的信實廣大。就讓我不論在順境或逆境中，仍依靠和仰望祢的信實，相信祢的赦罪和平安，全然歸向祢。奉主名求，阿們！
