每日箴言

一个新的约

“耶和华说,日子将到,我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约...” - 耶 31:31

 灵修

耶稣吩咐门徒,进城跟某人协商,留下一间用来庆祝逾越节的客房,他们发现事情“正如耶稣所说的”,并且在那里预备了逾越节晚餐。这个结果和耶稣降生那个晚上“客店里没有地方”大不相同(路加福音2:7)。


在楼上一个大房间里,他们聚集吃逾越节晚餐的地方,耶稣告诉门徒们祂不再吃这筵席,直等到神的国来到。接着祂揭露,祂将牺牲自己的身体,流出宝血。祂甚至还邀请他们和祂同吃一块饼,同喝一个杯,说这些代表着祂的身体和血。


耶稣宣告说祂这样的牺牲,将立下一个新约,这与神当日透过先知耶利米所应许的相呼应。并且祂吩咐门徒一起吃这饼喝这杯,为的是纪念祂。这个新约将取代旧约所要求的动物献祭,祂的死就是一次献祭,这个献祭竟然如此壮大,以至于凡相信耶稣为他们献上身体和宝血的人,必定能够罪得赦免,得到永远的生命。


今天,无论我们在哪儿为纪念耶稣而庆祝这晚餐,都会被提醒,神已将祂爱的律法写在我们心版上,并且“不再记念(我们的)罪恶。”为了纪念耶稣,我们是不是应该在心中为祂预备房间呢?


 祷告

主耶稣,求帮助我无论是今天还是每一天,都牢记祢的牺牲,直到祢再来。奉祢的名求,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

 A New Covenan

“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the people...” — Jeremiah 31:31

 Devotion

Jesus instructs his disciples to check with a man in the city about a guest room that can be used for celebrating the Passover. They find things “just as Jesus had told them,” and make the Passover preparations there. This is quite a different result from having “no guest room available” on the night Jesus was born (Luke 2:7).


In the large upper room where they have gathered to eat the Passover meal, Jesus tells his disciples that this will be his last supper with them until the kingdom of God comes fully. He then reveals that he will sacrifice his body and pour out his blood. He even invites them to eat with him from a loaf of bread and to share wine from his cup, saying that these represent his body and blood.


Echoing God’s promise through the prophet Jeremiah, Jesus declares that his sacrifice will seal a new covenant, and he asks the disciples to eat and drink in remembrance of him. This new covenant will replace the animal sacrifices that were necessary in the Old Testament, and his death is a sacrifice so strong that anyone who believes that Jesus has given his body and blood for them can depend on him for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.


Today, whenever we celebrate this supper in memory of Jesus, we are reminded that God has written his law of love on our hearts and “will remember [our] sins no more.” In remembrance of him, shall we make room in our hearts for Jesus?


 Prayer

Lord Jesus, help me to remember your sacrifice, today and every day, till you come again. Amen.
