更好的約
經文: 「如今耶穌所得的職任是更美的,正如祂作更美之約的中保,這約原是憑更美之應許立的。」(希伯來書八:6)「新約的中保耶穌,以及所灑的血,這血所說的比亞伯的血所說的更美。」(希伯來書十二:24)
這兒有新約更美的應許——「我與以色列家所立的約,乃是這樣。我要將我的律法放在他們裡面,寫在他們心上。」(耶卅一:33)「且使他們有敬畏我的心,不離開我。」(耶卅二:40)「我要潔淨你們,使你們脫離一切的污穢……我也要賜給你們新心,將新靈放在你們裡面,……使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」(以西結卅六:25∼27)「我耶和華說過,也必成就……他們必為這事向我求問,我要給他們成就。」(以西結卅六:36∼37)
還有什麼比這更美好、更明確的應許嗎?你看!上帝要使我們有敬畏祂的心,不致離開祂;且要使我們順從祂的律例,謹守遵行祂的典章。
耶穌是新約的中保,藉著聖靈祂住在我們心裡,且保守我們遠離罪惡,所以我們有這樣的動機與能力,在各樣的事上遵行祂的旨意。先知撒迦利亞受感動所做的預言:「我們既從仇敵手中被救出來,就可以終身在祂面前,坦然無懼的用聖潔公義事奉祂。」(路一:74)這是上帝親口講的話,而且祂也要幫助那些求告祂的人。這應許是千真萬確的,因為耶穌首先用血,後來又用聖靈向我們立約保證,只要有人全心歸向祂,且懷著充足的信心向祂求告,祂必要做成這工,讓應許得成就。可惜這信息很少被傳講,這真理也很少人去經歷!
BETTER PROMISES
Scripture: "He is the Mediator of a better Covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises."—HEB. viii. 6."Ye are come to Jesus the Mediator of a New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling."—HEB. xii. 24.
We have here some of the better promises of the New Covenant. Jer. xxxi. 33: "This is the covenant: I will put My law in their inward parts, and in their hearts will I write it." Jer. xxxii. 40: "I will put My fear in their hearts, and they will not depart from Me." Ezk. xxxvi. 25, 27: "From all your filthiness will I cleanse you, and I will give you a new heart, and I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments to do them." Ezk. xxxvi. 36: "/ the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it. For this moreover will I be enquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them."
Could there be better or more definite promises than these, that God Himself would put His fear into the hearts of His people so absolutely that they would not depart from Him, and that He would cause them to keep His judgments and do them ?
This is the New Covenant of which Jesus is Mediator. Through the Holy Spirit He dwells in us and will keep us from sin, so that we shall have the desire and the power to do God's will in all things. Think of Zacharias's inspired words as he prophesied the deliverance Christ would bring. Luke i. 74: "That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies should serve Him without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days." These are the words of God and show what He will do for those who enquire of Him. The promises are sure. The Mediator gave first His blood and then His Spirit. He sees to it that the better promises are fulfilled to those who whole-heartedly and confidently desire and claim them from Him. Alas, how seldom is such a life either preached or experienced!
