READ http://www.esvbible.org/heb1

The superiority of Jesus Christ over all gives comfort for those who obey Him but results in severe consequences for those who reject Him.

God has spoken to the readers' ancestors (Heb 1:1) through the prophets at many TIMES and in various WAYS. Those who rejected the prophets faced dire consequences (e.g. exile).

Jesus Christ IS superior to angels (Heb 1:5-14) and the prophets. The book of Hebrews will go on to warn that those who reject THIS Jesus Christ (by arguing from comparison), will face MORE terrible consequences than when rejecting the PROPHETS of the Old Testament times. This is because they are rejecting "the exact representation" of God's being (Heb 1:3).

REFLECTION: Are you rejecting Jesus Christ or His commands day after day after day? You know what you need to do, but something is hindering you from doing the needful? You know what you should stop doing, but is there something that keeps on fuelling this process that should be stopped?


星期四 2024年10月31日 今日读经:希伯来书1章. 拥抱最佳的选择
http://m.bbintl.org/bible/ncv/Heb/1/

耶稣基督的主权让所有顺服祂的人得到安慰,但也造成凡拒绝祂的将面对严重后果。

神多次借着当时的先知和各种的方式向读者的祖先说话(来1:1)。那些拒绝先知的面临了严重的后果(指被掳)。

耶稣基督是在天使(来1:5-14)和先知之上的。希伯来书继续告诫那些拒绝耶稣的人(从比较上辩论),他们将会面临比拒绝在旧约时的先知更严重的后果。

这是因为他们拒绝的是“神本质的真像”(来1:3)。

反省:你们是否日一复一日地拒绝耶稣基督和祂的命令?你知道你自己必须做些什么,但是否有什么事情正阻拦你做你该做的事?你知道你必须停止做一些事,但是否有什么东西促使你一再地做这些不该做的事呢?
