Title: A New Covenant 立新约 Date: 19th Dec 2021 Preacher: Rev. Wong Siow Hwee 弟兄姐妹圣诞快乐。我们在今年的将临节灵修材料重温了约翰福音一章 【1】,讲解神差耶稣来,为要借着耶稣让我们认识神自己。凡认识耶稣又信他的,那就是他们的救恩。认识耶稣可说是一个细水长流的过程。还记得2016年,我们儿童事工下定决心,在主日学单单只教马可福音,就是为了要心无旁骛地认识耶稣。结果研究以后发现,单单马可福音竟然就已经引用了超过100多处的旧约经文。那是惊人的数目。想象一下,100多处的旧约经文,就算我们主日学每周都教一段,也等于需要用两年才能教完。今天的经文耶利米31章就是其中一个被新约引用的旧约经文。万丈高楼平地起。今年的圣诞节,我们选择分享耶利米书31章的原因就在这里。让我们也一起加油,一点一滴这样水滴石穿地一起来更认识耶稣。 我们先思考一个问题:耶稣究竟完成了什么?约翰福音1:16 从他丰满的恩典里,我们都领受了,而且恩上加恩。耶稣的恩典如何是恩上加恩呢?在表达“恩上加恩”时,约翰刻意对比了摩西和耶稣。第一个恩典是借着摩西的恩典,第二个恩典是借着耶稣的恩典,所以是“恩上加恩”。借着摩西的恩典可以归纳为两样。第一是救赎的恩典。大家应该都很熟悉摩西是如何把以色列子民从埃及为奴的状况带领出来,使一群子民得以形成。然后他又历经沧桑把他们最后带领到应许地。这也才开始了以色列国。所以,借着摩西所完成的救赎的恩典,也是立国的恩典。 借着摩西所完成的第二样的恩典是传律法的恩典。律法的意义在于建立神与子民之间的关系。既有了关系,律法能让子民认识神,明白神的心意。子民才能顺从神,守护这个关系,彼此立约。所以,借着摩西的恩典可以说是:以救赎而立国,以律法而立约。国就是子民,约就是关系。以色列是一群充满恩典的子民,是一群与神有关系的子民,是一群活在永恒生命里的子民。 但是很可惜,借着摩西所完成的恩典没有充分实现。就如一个破碎的婚姻,神说“我虽做他们的丈夫,他们却背了我的约。”关于以色列如何背约的往事,去年我们分享先知书的时候已经解释过了。 【2】重点是,神并没有因为关系破裂而放弃。31 耶和华说:日子将到,我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约。新约的特质就是子民认识神和遵守神的心意的方式,不单靠他们自己如何忠心或顺服,而是神亲自完成这个工作。神宣告:33 我要将我的律法放在他们里面,写在他们心上。 也就是新约的子民能够直接明白神的心意。这才能彻底解决子民悖逆神的问题。今天的经文还有两个宣告。神以他创造主的名承诺他永远不会放弃他的子民。不但如此,神也会使耶路撒冷城成为一个永远的圣城。这两个宣告的重点在于永远:永远的关系和永远的国。如果我们的衡量标准是永远,但对于现今以色列,我们最多只能说他们依旧还是属于旧约。摩西的恩典也许依然存在。但新约一定要有永远的关系,和永远的国。 弟兄姐妹,这就是圣诞节的好消息。新约中的永远的国和永远的关系就是耶稣所完成的。这才是恩上加恩。我们首先来看永远的国。我们回想一下我们今年所参考的四本保罗书信。其中所强调的福音就是耶稣所带来的救恩。耶稣的死里复活战胜了罪恶,战胜了死亡。耶稣被接升天,坐在全能父上帝的右边,继承了至高的权柄。这就是永远的国。所以保罗说神借着耶稣13 救了我们脱离黑暗的权势,把我们迁到他爱子的国里; 14 我们在爱子里得蒙救赎,罪过得以赦免。这正是恩上加恩。所以在帖撒罗尼迦前后书,保罗安慰鼓励教会关于主再来和复活的事不必担忧。甚至以后有大罪人或任何逼迫患难也不必怕。死里复活的耶稣已经得着永远的国,而我们借着耶稣都必得着那永恒的基业。歌罗西书更强调耶稣的完全和充足。这是要否决任何想要加盐加醋的异端邪说。保罗清楚表明:只要有耶稣,我们的救恩就已经完整了,再也不需要加添任何什么,补足什么。耶稣拥有天上地下所有的权柄能力。 除了那永远的国,我觉得新约里面最可贵的就是永远的关系。神要直接向我们沟通,表明心意,确认关系。33 耶和华说:我要将我的律法放在他们里面,写在他们心上;我要做他们的神,他们要做我的子民。我们今年分享的四本保罗书信也讲解耶稣如何完成律法,甚至超越律法。这如何实现?就是靠圣灵。保罗在加拉太书一语惊醒梦中人。3:2…
