请我们看希伯来书希伯来书第一章第一节和第二节神既在古世
,既做众仙之多次多方的效率力主God having spoken in many parts and
in many ways formerly to the fathers in
the prophetsat the end of these days has
spoken to us in the person of the
son第四句他所承受的名既比天使的名更珍贵,就远超过天使
He has taken a place by so much
better than the angels, as He inherits a
name more excellent than theyFor to
which of the angels said He ever, Thou
art my son, this day have I begotten
thee又指着那一个说,我要做他的父,他要做我的子在这全是长子到世上来的时候
,就说神的使者都要拜他And again, when He brings in the
first born into the habitable world, He says,
and let all God's angels worship HimAnd as
to the angels, He says, who makes His
angels spirits and His ministers a flame of
fireBut
as to the son, Thy throne, O God,
is to the age of the age, and
a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of
the kingdom你喜爱公义,从无罪恶,所以神就是你的神,永喜乐由高您,胜过高您的同伴又说主啊
,你起初立了地的根基,天也是你所造的天地都要灭没
,泥却要长存,天地都要像衣服渐渐旧了你要将天地卷起来像一件外衣,天地就会改变了
唯有你永不改变,你的年数没有穷尽所有的天师,神从来对哪一个说
,你坐在我的右边,等我是你仇敌,坐你的脚凳
天师岂不都是活跃的灵奉差遣
,为那将要承受救恩的人效力吗我们再看第三章第三节,到第六节
他比摩西算是更最多的荣耀,好像建造房屋的比房屋更尊荣因为房屋都被有人建造
,但建造万物的就是神摩西为夫人在神的全家诚然竞争
,为了证明将来的传说的事但基督为儿子,自立神的家
,我们若想可靠的盼望和胆量,坚持到底便是他的家了
我们再看第七章第二十节
,在这基督为祭司并不是不起势力的
至于那些祭司,原不是起势力的,只是耶稣是起势力的因为那利他利对他说
,主祈求是,绝不后悔你是永远为祭司
基督是起势力的
,耶稣就做了更美而至要的忠报在那些成为祭司的数目本来多
,是因为有死祖格不能长久这位既是永远长存的
,他祭司的责任就长久不更换凡靠着他进到神面前的人,他都能拯救到底
,因为他是长远活着替他们祈求我们再看第八章
,从第六节念起如今耶稣所得的责任是更美的,正如他做了更美之又的忠报
,这位原是凭更美是应许立的第十节
,9月说,那些日子以后,我与以色列家属立的约乃是这样
,我要将我的律法放在他们里面,写在他们心上,我要做他们的神,他们要做我的子民
他们不用个人教导自己的乡民和自己的弟兄说
,你该认识主,因为他们从最小的到最大的都得认识我
我们暂时就念到这里
,我们低头
,我们感谢张伟宁给我们又有机会来到你的面前
我们感谢你,在你那里有永生之道
,我们除了你还有谁呢?
我们今天早晨再一次打开我们的心向着你
,求你对我们说话
,求你向我们显现,
但愿你在我们每一个人的心中伟大
,因为唯有你是至大至尊的
,我们把这个时间恭敬交在你的手中,求你叫上祝福
,奉祝耶稣的名,我想到了这个时候
,我们大家都知道我们的主题是什么,
唯独见耶稣
,但是我们盼望说,这个不但是一个主题
,盼望这个也是我们每一个人的经历,
也是我们每一个人的见证
,我们在第一天的早晨说到耶稣的身份
,因为在神的面前身份是一件很重要的事,
所以他给我们看见
,耶稣的身份究竟是什么,我们的主耶稣
,他是永生神的儿子,他有独生子的荣耀
,我们的主耶稣,他也来到地上做了人
,他成为人子,并且他有人子的荣耀,
这一个是我们主耶稣的身份
,如果我们认识他的身份,他是神的儿子
,我们就要起来敬拜他,如果我们知道他是人子,
我们就要起来感谢他,所以如果今天我们不会敬拜
,也不会感谢,乃是因为我们不认识他的身份,
乃是因为我们不知道他的身份,如果我们知道他的身份
,认识从我们心灵的深处看见他是谁
,我们不能不附和下来说,我们的主,我们的神,
我们不能不附和下来说,我们的主,我们的神,这是他的身份,在第二天早晨
,我们就提到主耶稣的这份,事实上一说来
,是从身份来产生这份,事实上一说来,是从身份来产生这份
,这一个人所是产生他所做的
,今天在这个世界的上面
,我们往往注意人的工作,
往往注意人的工作,好像说
,不管他这个人是怎样的人,他可以做一些的工作出来
,好像他的工作与他这个人不发生关系,好像他的工作与他这个人不发生关系
,在这个世界上是如此,但是在神的面前绝不是如此
,在神的面前
,所有人的部分都是从人的身份里头出来的。
在神的面前
,所有人的部分都是从人的身份里头出来的。在神的面前
,所有人的部分都是从人的身份里头出来的。
我们以为说
,只要我们为神做了,跟我们这个人在神面前是怎样的光景没有关系
,但是在神的眼中,
你的身份乃是根据你这个人。你这个人在神面前是怎样的人
?你才能在神的工作上做一个怎样的工作
?我们的主耶稣是神的儿子。
他又是人子。所以他的职位是使徒和大祭司。他最能做神的使徒
,因为他是神。他是从神那里来的。他最能做使徒。
因为他来到地上做了人。所以他能把神完全代表出来。他能来到地上完成救赦的工作
,给他这个职位。他今天是我们的大祭司。
因为他是神的儿子。我们有神的儿子来做我们的大祭司。他是永远活着的。所以他能拯救我们。他在地上的时候
,应付所受的苦难就去了。但你完全。
所以他能依靠他的人
,永远得救的救援。因为他有这样珍贵的身份。所以他能做没有人所能做的事。弟兄姊妹。
所以他能做没有人所能做的事。弟兄姊妹。所以我们说身份就代替职份。今天早晨我们愿意看第三件事。我们要看耶稣的地位。
在这个世界上
,我们都认为地位是最重要。如果我们能够做出一个地位
,我们就有了身份。我们就有了身份。
所以你看见人在世界上都是正地位的。不但在一般的人中间是如此。甚至在教会里头也是如此。我们看见当初主的门徒也是这样。
这四个门徒可以说是从许多的门徒里头挑选出来的。他们与主在一起很长久的时间。他们与主一同住。与主一同吃。与主一同行走。
他们看主在哪里工作。他们是受其与主在一起的。他们里面一直有一个追求。
你看他们常常在心中追求这件事情。那为什么他们会说这个地位是真呢
?因为他们认为说
,有了地位就有身份。有了地位
,他们才能做事。
所以地位是最重要的东西。他们常常第一次之间为这件事在那里象征。甚至于当我们的主耶稣
,他最后一次要去耶路撒冷了。他还要到耶路撒冷去。
我们看见苏币派的两个儿子。一个是亚瑟
,一个是约翰。他们在过去纳粹日时中,对于其他的门徒
,他们更高的地位,
他说他要过地位。这个地位不能错过。但是他们认为自己在那里生
,生不过其他的门徒。没有母亲不帮儿女这座地位。
同时
,他们的母亲是主耶稣在肉身上的姑妈。那么姑妈的话
,是有一点力量。所以在那个很紧张的情形之下,所以在那个很紧张的情形之下
,她说,主
,您要答应我。她没有讲她要求的是什么。也许她也觉得不大好意思。但是我们的主,他从来不签空头支票。所以她说
,那么您要什么呢?
那他只好说了,他说主啊,在左边。他们要包办左右。难怪其他四个人就生气了。因为他们上了下风了。
他们要包办左右。难怪其他四个人就生气了。因为他们上了下风了。但是我们的主这么回答他们。主说,我所喝的醉,你们能喝吗?
我所受的喜,你们能受吗?当然,在那个时候
,亚瑟和约翰根本也没有想,这个杯,这个喜是怎么一回事。在他们的心里头,只有一件东西
,就是地位。
主要有地位,什么都可以。对他们说,我们能
,我们能。我们能喝你的杯,我们能受你的喜。主说不错。你们要喝我的杯
,你们要受我的喜,但是坐在我的右边和左边。
不是我所能给的,是我的天父所给的。弟兄姊妹
,在蒙古的感觉里面,他们因为说,有了地位
,就有了一切。
他们有身份,他们就有身份。如果没有地位的话
,那么就没有身份,也没有身份。但是我们的主说,地位是从哪里来的?
不错,有人要坐在主耶稣的右边
,有人要坐在主耶稣的左边。但是
,他是根据什么条件,能给人呢?他是根据,你所喝的杯和你所受的喜。
简单地说,这个杯就是主耶稣,他在克西玛尼园里,所喝的那个杯。那个就是说
,他遵行神的旨意。那个喜,就是求病死之家
,那个死。
主耶稣在这里告诉我们
,你如果遵行神的旨意
,你如果信徒一致到死之家
,你就能有这样的地位。不是
,身份和责分从地位里头出来的。
地位乃是从你说是和你说做的里面出来的。弟兄姊妹
,今天我们的感觉怎样
?我们是不是也是在那里要一个地位?
不当然,世界上的人是这样。今天
,在生儿女的瞬间,你也是觉得说地位非常重要。如果我们有地位
,我们也没有责任。有什么责任也没有。
所以,我们常常看见在教会里面
,老师兄姊妹起来示奋。就给他一个地位
,给他一个线头。慢慢很寂静就起来示奋了。如果你不给他那个地位
,他坐在那里一动也不动。
所以弟兄姊妹
,让我们在这里清楚一件事。地位是从身份和责分里头出来的。你不要在那里争地位。只有你在神面前坐那一个说事的人。
只要你在神面前能尽你那个功劳。那个地位是天父所赐给你的。所以我们在没有讲到耶稣的地位之前,
我们先把这件事情稍微解一解。今天在我们的儿女的中间
,今天我们要讲的是,在神的父亲的位置 One difficulty
is that we do not see the position
of Jesus, and we can put it this
way, that we put the position of our
Lord Jesus too low.
In our heart and mind, Lord Jesus does
not have much position, as other things
outside of Lord Jesus have their position in
us.
But in the heart of God, what is
the position of Jesus?
If you read the word of God, you
see the position of Jesus in the heart
of God is unique.
Put it the other way, in the heart
of God, only Lord Jesus has a position.
And then you ask, what about my position?
Is there my position in the heart of
God?
Brother, your position is in the position of
Lord Jesus.
Outside the position of Lord Jesus before God,
you have no position.
In the heart of God, He says, this
is my Beloved Son, in whom I am
pleased.
You hear Him.
In the heart of God, in the Colossians
chapter 1 verse 19, all the fullness of
the Deity of God is deposited in Jesus,
so that He can have first position in
all things.
In the first chapter of Ephesians, time will
come, and God will
summarize all things above the heaven and under
the earth and on earth, will all summarize
in Christ.
What is the Church?
The Church is the fullness of Him who
fills all in all.
Therefore you see in the heart of God,
in the will of God, Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, has unique positions.
But, in our heart, what a position does
Lord Jesus have?
And this is a great problem for us
today.
You see in the Church of Corinth, why
they have division among them?
Some say, I belong to Paul.
Why?
Because in their hearts, Paul has higher position
than Christ.
Apollo has higher position than Jesus.
Stephen has higher position than Jesus.
So Paul said, did I, Paul, die for
you?
Did you baptize in the name of Paul?
Can Christ be divided?
Dear brothers and sisters, why there is such
division in the believers in Corinth?
Because they have not seen clearly the position
of Lord Jesus.
Paul, or Apollo, or Stephen, what did Paul
say?
We all belong to you.
You belong to the Lord.
The Lord belongs to God.
Why in the Corinthian Church, they have
sins among them?
The sins that not even seen in the
world.
And after that occurrence, the Corinthian Church thought
themselves to be very gracious, that they could
tolerate the sins.
Brothers and sisters, why?
Because they have not seen the position of
the Lord.
Why in the Church of Corinth, the brother
would accuse the other brother?
Even to the Gentiles.
Because they have not seen the position of
the Lord Jesus.
Why among them?
They use their gifts to boast of themselves.
Because they have not seen the position of
Lord Jesus.
And the same with the Colossian Church.
The Colossian Church has not seen the position
of Jesus.
Therefore they see that Jesus is not sufficient.
And there is position outside Jesus, like philosophy,
or mystics, they have position.
Brothers and sisters, we see the same difficulties
among the saints of Hebrew saints.
Because in their mind, the position of Lord
Jesus is not enough.
And that's why they want to go back
to Him.
As there are things in the Judaism that
can satisfy them.
Dear brothers and sisters, today among us, in
your heart, what after all is the position
of Lord Jesus?
If in you there is the position of
Him that destined by God, you shall see
that outside of Him there is no other
position.
Therefore we need to see this before God.
In the book of Hebrews, there is one
word that appears again and again.
And in Chinese it is better.
More.
We know that this word means a comparison.
We say this is better than that.
And this is higher than that.
And this word is comparative.
But when the Bible uses this word, it
is not the meaning of comparison.
And that this is actually incomparable.
But because we are men, and
if you do not compare, it seems that
we cannot comprehend this incomparable quality.
But our Lord Jesus is incomparable.
But because of our weakness, God
can only...
He has to somehow compare the Lord with
other things.
That by comparison we can have some impression.
But even it is a comparison, that
God really is telling us that His Son
cannot be compared with Him.
Do you know the story of the transfiguration
of the mountain?
Our brother has been talking about this.
When the Lord transfigured a mountain, His glory
shone forth.
Immediately you see two people.
Moses and Elijah.
Moses represents the law, represents the prophets.
And they were conversing in the glory of
the Lord.
And what were they talking about?
And they were talking about the exodus of
the Lord.
And thirty years ago the Lord Jesus came
to this earth.
We are becoming flesh.
And He is going to exit from the
earth and back to His Father.
So Moses and Elijah came to converse with
our Lord about His exodus.
And how He is going to leave this
world.
While they are speaking, because the glory of
these three disciples, they fell asleep.
And sometimes I am confused.
I thought if I were in that glory,
how could I fall asleep?
Even if I have the problem of not
being able to fall asleep, I will not
fall asleep.
But these three disciples fell asleep.
Then I know, the glory was so great.
This is something our flesh cannot stand.
So in that glory, you fall asleep.
And about the end of their conversation, suddenly
they woke up.
And Peter saw this majestic scene.
He did not know what to say.
And he is afraid, if he did not
speak, then the scene would be over.
So he blunted out something.
He said, Lord, it is so good to
be here.
Do not leave.
And let us dwell here forever.
And let us set up three booths.
One for you, one for Moses, one for
Elijah.
And we just sleep here under the sky.
As long as we can be here, that
is good.
But dear brothers and sisters, before he finished,
you know Peter is a long winded.
And before he finished, but the heavenly father
interrupted.
Shut up.
You should not speak.
Because this is my beloved son.
In whom I am sleeping, you hear him.
You should not speak.
You should listen.
And because Peter said so, it is unique.
You cannot put Moses and Elijah at the
same level.
Our God is a jealous God.
Anytime we put any man, and any matter,
any thing at the same level as our
Lord, then God immediately will interrupt.
And God does not allow this to happen.
Because our Lord Jesus is unique in the
heart of God.
Also in our heart, God also wants Lord
Jesus to be all and in all.
And this is the eternal will of God.
Therefore here, he uses this word better.
In fact, he is using comparison to bring
in this incomparable quality.
And let us look at some of these
betters.
First is in chapter 1 verse 2.
God having spoken in many parts and many
ways formerly to the fathers and the prophets,
at the end of these days has spoken
to us in the person of the Son.
Here we see that Lord Jesus is the
Son.
He is more perfect than the prophets.
He is more complete than the prophets.
Our Lord Jesus is more complete
than all the prophets.
Prophets have a very important position in the
economy of God.
And God tells us his will to the
prophets.
So the Bible says, the prophets do not
prophesy according to themselves.
But holy men, by the moving of the
Holy Spirit, speak the word of God.
So you see, prophets have a great position
in the Bible.
But prophets have to be used by God
to reveal things in many parts and many
ways.
In other words, God has to use many
prophets.
Because one prophet cannot express God.
God has to use many prophets to express
his will to us.
And also he used various ways to express
his will to us.
So you see what God shows us through
the prophets are segmented.
And a point here, a point there.
They are not complete.
But in the end of his days, God
sent his Son.
When his Son comes to speak for God.
And we can also say that God today
speaks in his Son to man.
So Jesus said, nobody has ever seen God
before.
Only the only begotten Son in the bosom
of God, he declared him.
Because our Lord Jesus is the Son.
He was one with God.
Now when he speaks, it is the Father
who speaks.
And that is the word, he is the
word of God.
So we see that our Lord Jesus is
the Son.
He is more complete than the prophets in
reality.
All the prophets prophesy pointing to him.
The prophets do not point to themselves to
prophesy.
You see how great I am.
No.
The prophets prophesy pointing to Lord Jesus.
So therefore Lord Jesus said to his disciples.
And after he was resurrected.
And he said to his disciples.
He explained, revealed from the book of Moses,
the word of the prophets and the hymns.
So he is the one who is indicated
by all the prophets.
Who is the false prophet?
A false prophet, he does not declare Christ.
And he just indicates himself.
Then you know that this is a false
prophet.
The true prophets point men to Christ.
You know among the prophets, none is greater
than John the Baptist.
And what did John the Baptist say?
I am the one who opened the way
for the Lord.
I am the voice in the wilderness.
I will pass away.
But the one who comes after me is
greater than I.
He shall increase.
I shall decrease.
This is the true prophet.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Therefore you see here.
Our Lord Jesus is more complete than the
prophets.
And he is greater than the prophets.
But today.
We have a difficulty.
Because at that time among the Hebrew believers,
there was the same difficulty.
They esteemed prophets more than the son of
God.
They chose the prophets more than they chose
the son of God.
As the believers in Carl.
They chose Paul more than they chose the
Lord.
Because Paul is greater than the Lord.
Paul is greater than the Lord.
The position of Paul in them is greater
than the position of the Lord.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Today in Christianity.
But don't we see the same situation?
Because we have not seen the position of
the Lord.
If we do see the position of the
Lord.
Then we will see all the prophets, all
the apostles.
They point to him to prophesy.
So let all the prophets go.
Let the son of God stay throughout forever.
Brothers and sisters.
How much position does prophet have in you?
If you truly know the prophecy of a
prophet.
You know the The prophecy If
the Lord Jesus is not greater than us.
But because of the prophets of those that
make the Lord Jesus smaller.
The Christ has a greater position.
And he decreases.
Our Lord is greater and more complete than
the prophets.
What he speaks is the last word.
He cannot add anything above what he said.
The second.
Here we see that the name our Lord
Jesus has is more honorable than that of
angels.
We know that the Jews, they really honor
the angels.
Today we do not have much feel for
the angels.
But among the Jews the position of angels
is very high.
We know that even when Moses was proclaiming
the law.
According to Galatians chapter 3.
The law is given to us through the
hand of the angel.
Therefore we see that angel has a high
position among men.
And according to creation.
The angels have one position higher than men.
Not only they were created earlier.
And they were created in the previous world.
And also they were the spirit.
And the angels are higher than men.
But.
The bible tells us.
Our Lord Jesus is more honorable than the
angels.
To which angel the God would tell him
that I have born you today.
And I am your father and you are
my son.
And the firstborn of God come to this
earth.
The bible says that all the angels worship
him.
The angels are ministries of spirit.
And they are servants of God.
So when the firm comes.
All the angels have to worship him.
His kingdom is endless.
Our Lord Jesus.
You know the first rebellion in this universe.
Is a chief archangel that God created.
And he did not stay in his position.
He wanted to steal the position of the
Lord.
He said I will exalt myself to be
equal with God.
And who can be equal with God?
Only the friend of God is equal with
God.
And he did not just take it.
But here is an archangel.
He was so proud.
He wanted to exalt himself.
The result.
And he was thrown out from the heavens.
He turned himself into Satan the devil.
The position of the son of God.
Is far above all the angels.
Good brothers and sisters.
Even today.
You see that men exalt angels.
More than they exalt Lord Jesus.
For example.
Did not you see the Mormons?
They were on the top of the church.
There was an image.
And that image they say is an archangel.
And they say that this archangel gave the
Mormon Bible to men.
So you see that even in the so
called Christianity.
There is at least one denomination which exalted
archangel more than our Lord.
Because Satan can disguise himself as a bright
angel.
To stealth.
The Catholic stealth.
And you would say we are not the
Mormons.
But brothers and sisters.
Often times.
We seek the mysterious things.
And we sometimes think that this very remote,
very mysterious.
Are more majestic.
And the Bible says this is the mystery
of the devil.
And so we know something.
That others do not know.
Brothers and sisters.
And this also tempted to astray.
So the angels are supposed to serve those
men who are sick.
And let us in our hearts see the
position of Lord Jesus.
You say that you would never worship an
angel.
Do not be so sure.
Because when you read the revelation.
Even John.
Apostle John.
When God through the angel revealed the mystery
of God.
Revelation chapter 19.
And the angels proclaimed that the bride is
adorned.
Ready.
And the marriage of the lamb is to
happen.
And when John heard this.
What did he do?
He fell down and worshipped this angel.
And I am the co-servant as the
prophet and God's other children.
Worship God.
So you know that it would be enough
for John to be confused only once.
But chapter 22 John was confused again.
Because God has shown John the glory of
new Jerusalem through the angel.
And God has renewed all things.
And John could not contain himself.
He fell down again to worship the angel.
And the angel says don't do this.
We are co-servants.
Worship God.
Dear brothers and sisters.
And do not because the angels have given
you good news.
And even if this news is accurate.
You have to remember he is nothing but
a servant.
He gives you this message so that you
worship God.
One day.
The whole world will worship angel.
Because Satan is an angel.
Only those who do not have a seal
on their hands.
And they were kept by God.
So you have to see.
Today our Lord is more honorable than the
angels.
So to prevent us from worshipping the angels.
We can only worship our Lord.
Number three.
When we come to the third chapter.
We see that our Lord Jesus is worthy
of greater glory than Moses.
Moses was the greatest leader in the eyes
of the Jews.
You remember the Jews told our Lord Jesus.
That we are the disciples of Moses.
And we follow Moses.
And we learn from him.
Indeed.
Moses was raised by God to be a
great leader.
And he was faithful in the household of
God.
But he is only a servant.
Our Lord Jesus is the son.
And he is the builder of the house.
And he is the owner of the house.
He rules over his house.
And which one is greater?
Moses was a type.
And he was a type of faithful servant.
But he refused to come.
Refers to our Lord Jesus.
But regrettably.
At that time there were those who honor
Moses.
More than they honor our Lord.
Although they have believed in the Lord.
They want to go back to Moses.
They want to go back to law.
Brothers and sisters.
What's our situation today?
We thank God.
And over the generations.
He has raised many spiritual leaders.
But brothers and sisters.
They are only servants.
Paul said I planted.
An Apollo water.
Only God gives the growth.
Paul counted nothing.
Apollo counted nothing.
Only the Lord is all and all.
But today.
We all have.
Men all have a desire to worship leaders.
And we say.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Let's remember.
They are only servants.
And how we hope that they can be
faithful in the house of God.
But the builder of the church is Lord
Jesus himself.
The Lord says I shall build my church
on this rock.
The gates of heaven cannot prevail over it.
Our Lord Jesus is the son.
He rules over the house of God.
Dear brothers and sisters.
We are the house of God.
If we can keep the confession.
And our boast of that time.
Until the end.
Then we are his house.
So the position of Lord Jesus.
Is greater than Moses.
Today is the position of Lord Jesus in
you.
Greater than any leader.
Do you see with your eyes.
A leader or Lord Jesus.
Do you follow Lord Jesus.
Or you follow a leader.
We thank and praise God.
Our Lord Jesus is the son.
He is worthy of greater glory than Moses.
Number four.
Here it tells us that our Lord Jesus
is the great high priest.
His ministry as a high priest.
Is greater than the ministry of Aaron.
Is more complete than the ministry of Aaron.
Perfect.
Here we see that the ministry of Lord
Jesus as a high priest.
Is more perfect than the ministry of Aaron.
The order of Aaron.
Is according to the rule of flesh.
And the order of Aaron.
Is the one that is set by God.
Man is set by God.
The man according to the order of Aaron.
Are weak.
And therefore he has.
And he has to offer sacrifice.
For his own sins.
And the sins of others.
And also he will die.
So other people will have to continue after
him.
And this ministry of high priest.
Is never perfect.
They cannot really bring man before God.
And the sacrifice they offer.
And especially in the day of atonement.
The high priest enter into the Holy of
Holies.
With blood.
They enter into the veil.
He is sprinkling the blood on the ark.
And atone for the sins.
Of those people.
But the Bible tells us.
And that atonement.
Is not perfect.
So every year.
They have to do it again.
Because the blood of bull or goat.
Cannot cleanse the sins of man.
They can only cover the sins of man.
So it seems every year.
They have to do this again.
It is not perfect.
But our Lord Jesus.
He is the high priest.
After the order of Melchizedek.
That order is higher than the order of
Aaron.
And he continues to be high priest.
Forever.
He once and for all.
For our sins he offers himself.
And he becomes the source of atonement forever.
Because he offers himself once.
So we can be sanctified forever.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Our Lord Jesus.
The ministry of high priest.
Is far above the ministry of the order
of Aaron.
His position is higher.
But some of the believers in the Jews.
They want to go back to Judaism.
As the position of Lord Jesus.
The high priest is not adequate.
And they want the descendants of Aaron.
To be their high priest.
And they enter through the Holy Spirit.
And they want to complete through the flesh.
Today the same with us.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Isn't it enough for our Lord Jesus to
be our high priest?
We do not need any mediation.
We do not need any person to stand
in between us and God.
And through Lord Jesus we can come before
God.
And he will save us to the uttermost.
Are you hoping that there is somebody like
a high priest like Aaron to help you?
So that you can draw near to God?
You do not have to.
Lord Jesus is your high priest.
He should have a unique position in your
heart.
For the matter of time.
I only have three minutes.
Here we see.
The covenant our Lord Jesus has established using
his blood is more excellent.
The old covenant is the law.
You have to do.
But because of the weakness of man.
We cannot do it.
So we are all condemned.
But the new covenant is grace.
It is all done by God.
He has done it all.
All we have to do is to believe.
To receive.
And that is ours.
And he is going to cleanse our sins.
And remember our transgressions no more.
And nobody will mean to you.
And you shall know the Lord.
And this knowing is knowing from externally.
But what did the new covenant say?
From the smallest, littlest to the highest.
And he shall know the Lord from inside.
Because there is an anointing in you.
In all things he will teach you.
Not only that.
The law of God is now written in
your heart.
The Holy Spirit is the law of God.
It is not the thousands of letters.
It is not the ten sentences.
There is only one.
The law of the spirit of life.
In us.
It gives us the strength to overcome the
law of death.
And sin.
The better covenant.
Also.
And a better country.
We have a country.
This is established by our God.
We all will go back to that country.
Who doesn't want to go back to home?
Our home is that New Jerusalem.
God has prepared for us.
Our Lord is building.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Isn't it our Lord is more beautiful?
Isn't it that he should have all position
in our hearts?
May he who has so much position in
the heart of God has the same position
in our small heart.
Let's bow down and pray.
Our Lord we worship you.
Because you are unique in the heart of
the Father.
Beside you nothing can compare with you.
All is in you.
Our God.
We confess that in us and outside of
our Lord we have many other things.
As if they have taken your position.
Oh our God.
Jealous God.
May you stir up jealousy in our hearts.
Cast out anything outside of your son.
May your son be supreme in all things.
Have supremacy in the church.
Have supremacy in the heart of everyone.
So that your kingdom can come.
Your glory is full of the surf.
In the name of Lord Jesus.
Amen.
