应许中的救世主Sample

生活导论
神将以色列人分别出来成为自己的子民,并给了他们一套非常具体的律法。人们需要定期献上动物作为赎罪祭。这提醒我们:罪的工价乃是死。
每年大祭司都会举行特别的仪式来清洁和净化圣殿,也清洁自己和留作祭祀的动物。人们的罪孽被隆重地转移到动物身上,动物被宰杀以赎人的罪。这些年复一年的牺牲永远无法掩盖人的罪孽。相反,祭物是象征和承诺,代表着以后将要有完美的祭物。
耶稣就是那完美的祭物。与以色列的其他大祭司不同,耶稣不需要洁净自己的罪恶。因此,他没有将他的罪转移到要宰杀的动物身上,而是将我们的罪孽转嫁到他自己身上。耶稣献上自己作为祭物,不需要任何人连结他与神,因为他是完美的、无罪的。因为耶稣是永恒的,他所献的祭永远覆盖着我们,不像以色列人那样每年需要有牺牲。
这是福音的好消息!虽然我们不像以色列人那样献动物祭,但我们经常尝试以自己的方式向神献祭。我们试图通过做“善事”来取悦神并弥补我们的罪,比如去教堂、读圣经或祈祷。与其相信耶稣的牺牲来拯救我们,不如相信我们需要以行为来拯救自己。
耶稣的牺牲已经足够了。我们无法通过行为与神站在一起,或者以某种方式使他更爱我们。他不再记我们的罪,因为耶稣已经用自己的圣洁使我们得以完全。耶稣是完美的祭物!
