申命記27:1-8


27:1 摩西和以色列的眾長老吩咐百姓說:「你們要遵守我今日所吩咐的一切誡命。
27:2
你們過約旦河,到了耶和華你上帝所賜給你的地,當天要立起幾塊大石頭,墁上石灰,
27:3
把這律法的一切話寫在石頭上。你過了河,可以進入耶和華你上帝所賜你流奶與蜜之地,正如耶和華你列祖之上帝所應許你的。
27:4
你們過了約旦河,就要在以巴路山上照我今日所吩咐的,將這些石頭立起來,墁上石灰。
27:5
在那裡要為耶和華你的上帝築一座石壇;在石頭上不可動鐵器。
27:6
要用沒有鑿過的石頭築耶和華你上帝的壇,在壇上要將燔祭獻給耶和華你的上帝。
27:7
又要獻平安祭,且在那裡吃,在耶和華你的上帝面前歡樂。
27:8
你要將這律法的一切話明明地寫在石頭上。」

Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Keep all these commands that I give you today. When you have crossed the Jordan into the land the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones and coat them with plaster. Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I command you today, and coat them with plaster. Build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool on them. Build the altar of the Lord your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord your God. And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones you have set up.”

    摩西向百姓宣告如何準備獻祭給上帝的祭壇,要求百姓:要用沒有鑿過的石頭築耶和華─你上帝的壇!可見上帝不喜歡人用自己的力量來是奉上帝,而是上帝要親自來親近人!

    我們禮拜也是這個原則,我們不必為自己預備祭牲,是耶穌基督親自成為祭牲,更是自己成為祭司,將自己如無瑕疵的羔羊獻上!也因為這樣上帝的心,真正喜悅!所以,祂透過耶穌基督與我們和好,接納我們成為兒女!

     親愛的弟兄姊妹,我們要因為基督耶穌的緣故,來到上帝面前獻上感謝為祭,並且樂意遵行上帝旨意為活祭,這樣的活祭就是在基督裡尊上帝為大,感謝上帝接納我們成為兒女,並為此作見證,這就是我們的敬拜!
