《今日靈修默想》:「凡靠著祂進到神面前的人,祂都能拯救到底,因為祂是長遠活著,替他們祈求。」(來7:25)
默想一:我們憑什麼相信所有進到神面前來的人,主耶穌都能拯救到底?因為在天上寶座有一位大祭司耶穌基督天天為我們祈求,承擔我們的案件。人的禱告常會軟弱,會灰心停止,但主為我們的禱告永不停止,為了使我們蒙拯救到底。
默想二:主耶穌為我們禱告的目的是甚麼呢?是求神保守我們,保護我們,叫我們像祂一樣,敢與世界分別,彰顯神的榮耀。不管世界的引誘多厲害,撒但的攻擊多瘋狂,人的肉體多放任,主耶穌的禱告所發出的力量,必能保守我們。
禱告:天父上帝,感謝祢拯救到底的應許。既然知道祢在神的右邊為我代求,我更應該放心地把一切的憂慮重擔卸給祢,因為祢顧念我。求袮讓我成為隨時禱告的人,像袮長遠為我代求一樣。奉耶穌基督得勝的名禱告,阿們!
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.” (Heb 7:25)
Meditation one: Why do we believe that Lord Jesus is able to save completely all of those who come to God? This is because on the throne of heaven there is a high priest, Jesus Christ, who bears our cases every day and makes intercessions for us. People’s prayers are often weak and can be disheartened and ceased, but, in order to save us completely, the Lord’s intercessions for us will never cease.
Meditation two: What is the purpose of the Lord Jesus’ intercession for us? He is asking God to keep us, to protect us, to make us like Him, to have the courage of setting apart from the world and manifesting the glory of God. No matter how tempting the world is, how insane Satan’s attacks are, how indulgent our fleshes are, the power of the Lord Jesus’ prayer will keep us.
Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for Your promise of saving us completely. Since I know that You are interceding for me at the right hand of God, I should cast all my anxiety and burden on You because You care for me. Let me be a person who prays at all times, just like Your never ceasing intercession. I pray in the victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
