Chinese 1/29/2013 English 給祭司的指示 經文: 出埃及記28－31章 中心思想: 出埃及記30、31章 提要         除了建造會幕的計劃，摩西還得到有關祭司的教導，祭司就是在會幕裏事奉的聖職人員，二十八到三十章所描述的是：這些祭司乃是分別為聖、在上帝面前代表以色列，並且帶領全國百姓敬拜上帝的人。關於他們的每一件事都是特別的，比方說：他們的服飾、各種禮儀前的預備、敬拜所用的器皿等等。此外，上帝還提供許多巧匠做各樣的工，並吩咐百姓要守聖日，這一天應該分別為聖，作為在上帝面前安息和敬拜上帝之用。 第28章 第29章 第30章 第31章 祭司 的服飾 祭司 的委派 祭司 的命令 建造會幕的巧匠1                11 守安息日12              18 有關敬拜的指示 敬拜中使用的器皿 每日與主同行         你喜歡昨天的會幕之旅嗎？今天你要查驗這個難以理解的敬拜儀式，大部是討論祭司的。如果你覺得這段經文篇幅太長，請記住──摩西用四十天的時間才把全部內容抄下來。         今天的經文會使你產生一種新的感激之情，因為上帝竟願意住在祂的百姓中，並與他們有親密的交通，上帝是完全聖潔的，所以有罪的人若要與上帝來往，必須經過這些繁複的程序才行，因此沒有一個細節是不重要、可以輕忽省略的！         注意！「敬拜」在百姓日常生活所佔的份量是何等重要！敬拜在任何一天都沒有停止，任何時間都不受限制；敬拜上帝是生活的中心，一切活動都以此為歸依。         把今天的經文存記在心，仔細思考這個問題：當生活壓力促使你必須刪減某些活動時，為什麼最常犧牲的是個人或家庭的靈修時間？甚至是和教會弟兄姐妹在一起的崇拜時間？ 默想 上帝的指頭大有能力         「上帝的指頭」曾經刻畫兩片石版（31：18），降災埃及（8：19），趕鬼（路11：20）和創造諸天（詩8：3）。 金言 敬拜就是把原本屬於上帝的我們再獻給祂！ 上一篇      下一篇 English Special Instructions for Priests Scriptures: Exodus 28-31 Heart of the Passage: Exodus 30-31 Overview         In addition to the tabernacle-plans, Moses receives detailed instructions concerning those who will serve in the tabernacle: the priests. Chapters 28-30 describe the ones specially set apart to represent Israel before God and lead the nation in worship. Everything about them is special: the clothing they wear, the elaborate rituals required to purify them for ministry, even the utensils and supplies they use in tabernacle worship. In addition, God provides handpicked artists and craftsmen for the tabernacle and sets apart a special day each week for rest and worship.

Today you examine more of God's intricate blueprint for worship, mostly involving the priests. If it seems to take a long time to read, just remember—it took Moses 40 days to copy all this down!         Today's reading should give you a new appreciation for the lengths, to which God went to dwell and commune with His people. Because God is utterly holy, these elaborate procedures were necessary if sinful people were to have fellowship with their God. Not a single detail was insignificant!         Notice the importance of worship in the daily life of the nation. Worship was not limited to a single day or time; all of life revolved around the one central function of worshiping God.         With today's reading in mind, carefully consider this question: When the pressures of life force you to cut something out of your busy schedule, why is it that the most expendable daily activity is usually personal or family devotions, and that the most vulnerable weekly function is corporate worship with the church?Does God consider worship worthwhile? Do you? Insight The Dynamic Divine Digit         The "finger of God" is credited with engraving the stone tablets (Exodus 31:18), bringing Egypt's plagues (Exodus 8:19), casting out demons (Luke 11:20), and creating the heavens (Psalm 8:3). Adage Worship is giving to God what He already owns— ourselves.
