每日箴言(中英)|耶稣,应验了神的应许 Jesus, The Seed Of Abraham, And Us



每日箴言

耶稣,应验了神的应许


“耶和华向亚伯兰显现,说:‘我要把这地赐给你的后裔。’” - 创12:7

 灵修

全能的神向亚伯兰 (在神未给他改名为亚伯拉罕之前) 显现,告诉他关于他后裔的事;在新约圣经里,保罗解释说,藉着基督,所有信徒都是亚伯拉罕的后裔,他们都因此成为神的儿女和后嗣。从前神与亚伯拉罕立的约,现今已在耶稣基督里应验了。


那么,这件事对我们有什么影响呢?保罗强调说:“你们既属乎基督,就是亚伯拉罕的后裔,是照着应许承受产业的。”神对亚伯拉罕的所有应许,都在基督里应验了,而我们也得到这些应许。


首先,我们是应许之地的继承人。在新约圣经,应许之地不是指实质的产业,它乃是一个有意义的生命,其中充满属灵福气以及与神有亲密的关系。


第二,这个应许包括有非常多的后裔 (创世记13:16)。神应许我们有一个国度的大家庭,这是一个同走生命路程的群体。


第三,这个应许意味着我们所过的是信心的生活,我们不再做律法的奴仆了,信徒从妨碍他们发挥所有潜能的重担中被释放出来。


第四,耶稣已拆毁了人与人之间一切的障碍,祂邀请我们活在一个不分种族、社会地位,或性别角色的群体里。我们在基督里蒙召,把神的祝福带给世人。今天,你可以循着什么途径去达成这使命呢?


 祷告


主啊,我们为祢在基督里赐给我们的每一个应许和福气感谢祢。求祢帮助我们,奉耶稣的名把祝福带给别人。阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

 Jesus, The Seed Of Abraham, And Us

The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” — Genesis 12:7



 Devotion


Almighty God appeared to Abram (before renaming him Abraham) and spoke to him about his future seed (descendants). And in the New Testament Paul explains that all believers through Christ are Abraham’s seed, and therefore are God’s children and heirs. The old covenant with Abraham is fulfilled through Jesus Christ.


So what does this mean for us? Paul exclaims, “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” All the promises that God made to Abraham are fulfilled by Jesus and given to us.


We are first of all heirs of a promised land. In the New Testament this is not physical property but a meaningful life filled with spiritual blessings and intimacy with God.


Second, the promise includes a multitude of descendants (Genesis 13:16). God promises us the community of his kingdom family to share in life’s journey.


Third, the promise entails a life of faith rather than being enslaved to the law. Believers are set free from every weight that holds them back from their full potential.


Fourth, all barriers between people have been knocked over by Jesus. We are invited to live in a community that has no divisions of nationality, social status, or gender roles. In Christ we are called to bring God’s blessing to the world. In what ways can you do that today?


 Prayer

Lord, thank you for every promise and blessing that is ours in Christ. Help us to bless others in Jesus’ name. Amen.
