耶利米書10:11-16



10:11 (你們要對他們如此說:不是那創造天地的神,必從地上從天下被除滅!)
10:12 耶和華用能力創造大地,用智慧建立世界,用聰明鋪張穹蒼。
10:13 他一發聲,空中便有多水激動;他使雲霧從地極上騰;他造電隨雨而閃,從他府庫中帶出風來。
10:14 各人都成了畜類,毫無知識;各銀匠都因他雕刻的偶像羞愧。他所鑄的偶像本是虛假的,其中並無氣息,
10:15 都是虛無的,是迷惑人的工作;到追討的時候必被除滅。
10:16 雅各的分不像這些,因他是造作萬有的主。以色列也是他產業的支派,萬軍之耶和華是他的名。

11 Thus shall you say to them: "The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens."
12 It is he who made the earth by his power,
 who established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
 and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
 He makes lightning for the rain,
 and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
14 Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
 every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
 and there is no breath in them.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
 and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
 the Lord of hosts is his name.

    先知在此宣告上帝與偶像的不同是要讓我們認清楚真正能夠幫助與拯救人的是上帝有像只不過是虛無的是比人更沒有能力的東西若是有智慧的人應該是捨棄偶像來信靠上帝

    但是最可怕的是人心都被罪惡所蒙蔽情願去尋求假神因為人都盼望能夠心想事成滿足自己的需求不願意面對真實的狀況寧可以假像來陶醉自己以至於面對真實的上帝時會受不了也因此人不僅製造偶像更是崇拜偶像使自己沉浸在騙局之中永遠不面對真相

    然而人要真正得到拯救不再滅亡進入永生必須敢受真神的光照認識自己真正的景況然後透過耶穌基督的代贖承擔我們一切的刑罰使我們真正從罪中出來我們才能朝見上帝的面來敬拜祂與祂建立恆久的關係如此我們才可以完全也才有能力為祂的見證人因為我們的生命真正有上帝的救贖在其中不是我們的想像
