利未記4:1-12

4:1 耶和華對摩西說：
4:2 「你曉諭以色列人說：若有人在耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事上誤犯了一件，
4:3 或是受膏的祭司犯罪，使百姓陷在罪裡，就當為他所犯的罪把沒有殘疾的公牛犢獻給耶和華為贖罪祭。
4:4 他要牽公牛到會幕門口，在耶和華面前按手在牛的頭上，把牛宰於耶和華面前。
4:5 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血帶到會幕，
4:6 把指頭蘸於血中，在耶和華面前對著聖所的幔子彈血七次，
4:7 又要把些血抹在會幕內、耶和華面前香壇的四角上，再把公牛所有的血倒在會幕門口、燔祭壇的腳那裡。
4:8 要把贖罪祭公牛所有的脂油，乃是蓋臟的脂油和臟上所有的脂油，
4:9 並兩個腰子和腰子上的脂油，就是靠腰兩旁的脂油，與肝上的網子和腰子，一概取下，
4:10 與平安祭公牛上所取的一樣；祭司要把這些燒在燔祭的壇上。
4:11 公牛的皮和所有的肉，並頭、腿、臟、腑、糞，
4:12 就是全公牛，要搬到營外潔淨之地、倒灰之所，用火燒在柴上。

 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Say to the Israelites: ‘When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands—

³ “‘If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull without defect as a sin offering^[a] for the sin he has committed. ⁴ He is to present the bull at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord. He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it there before the Lord. ⁵ Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and carry it into the tent of meeting. ⁶ He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain of the sanctuary. ⁷ The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. The rest of the bull’s blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ⁸ He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, ⁹ both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys— ¹⁰ just as the fat is removed from the ox^[b] sacrificed as a fellowship offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. ¹¹ But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines— ¹² that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a place ceremonially clean, where the ashes are thrown, and burn it there in a wood fire on the ash heap.

    這段贖罪祭的說明是針對祭司犯罪的情形，正如這裡所說：「或是受膏的祭司犯罪，使百姓陷在罪裡，就當為他所犯的罪把沒有殘疾的公牛犢獻給耶和華為贖罪祭。」

    這個贖罪祭不僅為祭司本人獻的，更是為百姓獻的，所以需要用到「公牛犢」，表示慎重。而在這裡也讓我們看見服事上帝的人，就如祭司，若是言行不好，不只是自己的問題，更是會影響一群人，使他們得罪上帝！

    也因為這樣，主耶穌也警告我們不能讓人因我們跌倒！主耶穌說：「凡使這信我的一個小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，沉在深海裡。」（馬太福音18:6）

  

箴言29:8

褻慢人煽惑通城；智慧人止息眾怒。

Mockers stir up a city,
    but the wise turn away anger.

***********

    「褻慢人」是指嘲諷的人，這些人運用人性的弱點，鼓動人的慾望，讓人去追求金錢或其他利益，然後從這些人的付出終來獲得利益，使自己累積更多的財富，讓自己有更多的想受！

    這就想到許多的商業行為都是這樣進行的，許多所謂的成功人士，都是靠這樣的方法，讓自己致富，還獲得好名聲，讓許多人甘願為他們拼命，結果大部分的好處都自己享受！

    有人會說，有錢人投資的目的就是要賺錢，這有什麼錯呢？其實這些投資者讓人尊敬是在於他們進了社會責任，使企業的員工有機會發揮長才，得以安身立命；使合作廠商共創利益，使人人享受福祉。而不是用掏空和剝削的方式，為一己的私利！

    求主幫助，使我們的政府能有智慧的人，防止這些惡劣的企業者來掏空這個國家，搶奪罪人努力之成果，這些人可謂之為大賊也！上帝必定追討這些狂妄的不義之徒！

箴言29:6

惡人犯罪，自陷網羅；惟獨義人歡呼喜樂。

Evildoers are snared by their own sin,
    but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.

***********

    「惡人」是指悖逆上帝的人，這樣的人錯過了上帝的救恩，於是自以為義，讓自己陷入災難的網羅之中，被限制而無法抽身，這是多麼痛苦得事情！

    然而義人是被上帝拯救，享受到上帝的恩典，心裡就會有滿足的喜樂！因為，只有上帝能夠滿足人新的需要，有上帝就不會覺得缺乏與虛空，正如主耶穌所說：「我就是生命的糧。到我這裡來的，必定不餓；信我的，永遠不渴。」（約翰福音6:35）

    親愛的弟兄姐妹，當你信主耶穌以後，就開始有生命的糧在你的生命中，使你得餵養！雖然剛開始沒有什麼感覺，可是隨著時間的過去，生命的糧卻仍然一直在心中，卻使我們覺得越來越甘甜，你有這樣的感受嗎？要為此喜樂與感謝喔！

“‘If your offering is a fellowship offering, and you offer an animal from the herd, whether male or female, you are to present before the Lord an animal without defect. ² You are to lay your hand on the head of your offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash the blood against the sides of the altar. ³ From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them, ⁴ both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys. ⁵ Then Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar on top of the burnt offering that is lying on the burning wood; it is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

⁶ “‘If you offer an animal from the flock as a fellowship offering to the Lord, you are to offer a male or female without defect. ⁷ If you offer a lamb, you are to present it before the Lord, ⁸ lay your hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar. ⁹ From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them, ¹⁰ both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys. ¹¹ The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord.
¹² “‘If your offering is a goat, you are to present it before the Lord, ¹³ lay your hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting.

All the fat is the Lord’s.
¹⁷ “‘This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.’”

    「平安祭」是一個「使上帝與人和好之外，更是使人與人之間和好」的祭典，正如「平安」的意義！原文的「平安祭」讀音和「沙龍」接近，是「為結盟和友誼」所獻的祭！

    在今日的教會，弟兄姊妹也需要這種「為結盟和友誼」所獻的祭，讓大家一起在上帝面前歡慶，這是何等美好的事情！所以，教會每週禮拜之後，弟兄姊妹也要好好交誼，也是應當的、更是上帝所喜悅的！

    親愛的弟兄姊妹，我們要好好的在這方面彼此交流，讓教會也是一個溫馨美好的所在，好榮耀上帝的名！
