忽略主恩怎能逃罪

所以,我们当越发郑重所听见的道理,恐怕我们随流失去。 那借着天使所传的话既是确定的,凡干犯悖逆的都受了该受的报应, 我们若忽略这么大的救恩,怎能逃罪呢?这救恩起先是主亲自讲的,后来是听见的人给我们证实了, 神又按自己的旨意,用神迹、奇事和百般的异能并圣灵的恩赐,同他们作见证。

救人的元帅因受苦难得以完全

我们所说将来的世界,神原没有交给天使管辖。 但有人在经上某处证明说:“人算什么,你竟顾念他?世人算什么,你竟眷顾他? 你叫他比天使微小一点[a],赐他荣耀、尊贵为冠冕,并将你手所造的都派他管理, 叫万物都服在他的脚下。”既叫万物都服他,就没有剩下一样不服他的。只是如今我们还不见万物都服他, 唯独见那成为比天使小一点的耶稣[b],因为受死的苦,就得了尊贵、荣耀为冠冕,叫他因着神的恩为人人尝了死味。 10 原来那为万物所属、为万物所本的,要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去,使救他们的元帅因受苦难得以完全,本是合宜的。 11 因那使人成圣的和那些得以成圣的,都是出于一,所以他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻, 12 说:“我要将你的名传于我的弟兄,在会中我要颂扬你。” 13 又说:“我要依赖他。”又说:“看哪,我与神所给我的儿女。” 14 儿女既同有血肉之体,他也照样亲自成了血肉之体,特要借着死败坏那掌死权的,就是魔鬼, 15 并要释放那些一生因怕死而为奴仆的人。

耶稣既受试探就能搭救受试探的人

16 他并不救拔天使,乃是救拔亚伯拉罕的后裔。 17 所以,他凡事该与他的弟兄相同,为要在神的事上成为慈悲忠信的大祭司,为百姓的罪献上挽回祭。 18 他自己既然被试探而受苦,就能搭救被试探的人。

持守真道

因此,我们必须更加重视所听的道,以免随流漂去。 既然借天使传下来的话正确无误,凡干犯、违背的人都受到了应有的报应, 我们若忽略了这么大的救恩,怎能逃避惩罚呢?这救恩首先由主亲口宣讲出来,后来由听见的人向我们证实了。 同时,上帝按自己的旨意,用神迹、奇事、各样的异能、圣灵的恩赐和他们一同做见证。

救恩的元帅

上帝并没有把我们所谈论的未来世界交给天使掌管。 相反,有人在圣经中做见证说:

“人算什么,你竟顾念他?
世人算什么,你竟眷顾他?
你使他暂时比天使低微一点,
赐他荣耀和尊贵作冠冕,
派他管理你所造的一切,
使万物降服在他脚下。”

既说叫万物都降服在人的管理之下,就没有一样例外。不过,我们到现在还没有看到万物都降服在人的管理之下, 只看见耶稣暂时比天使低微一点,好靠着上帝的恩典为全人类亲尝死亡的滋味。祂因为经历死亡的痛苦而得到了尊贵和荣耀作冠冕。

10 作为万物的归宿和根源的上帝,叫救恩的元帅耶稣经历苦难而得以纯全,以便带领许多的儿女进入荣耀,这样的安排是恰当的。 11 因为使人圣洁的耶稣和那些得以圣洁的人都出自同一位父亲,所以耶稣不以称呼他们弟兄姊妹为耻。 12 祂说:

“我要向众弟兄传扬你的名,
在会众中歌颂你。”

13 又说:

“我要倚靠祂。”

还说:

“看啊,我和上帝赐给我的儿女都在这里。”

14 因为众儿女都是血肉之躯,所以祂也同样取了血肉之躯,为要亲身经历死亡,借此摧毁掌握死亡权势的魔鬼, 15 释放那些因怕死而一生做奴隶的人。 16 很明显,祂要救助的不是天使,而是亚伯拉罕的后裔。 17 所以祂必须在每一方面都与祂的弟兄姊妹相同,以便在事奉上帝的事上成为一位仁慈忠信的大祭司,替众人献上赎罪祭。 18 祂经历过受试炼的痛苦,所以能帮助受试炼的人。

This Great Way of Being Saved

We must give our full attention to what we were told, so we won't drift away. The message spoken by angels proved to be true, and all who disobeyed or rejected it were punished as they deserved. So if we refuse this great way of being saved, how can we hope to escape? The Lord himself was the first to tell about it, and people who heard the message proved to us that it was true. God himself showed that his message was true by working all kinds of powerful miracles and wonders. He also gave his Holy Spirit to anyone he chose to.

The One Who Leads Us To Be Saved

We know that God did not put the future world under the power of angels. (A) Somewhere in the Scriptures someone says to God,

“What makes you care
    about us humans?
Why are you concerned
    for weaklings such as we?
You made us lower
than the angels
    for a while.
Yet you have crowned us
    with glory and honor.[a]
And you have put everything
    under our power!”

God has put everything under our power and has not left anything out of our power. But we still don't see it all under our control. What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels. Because of God's gift of undeserved grace, Jesus died for everyone. And now that Jesus has suffered and died, he is crowned with glory and honor!

10 Everything belongs to God, and all things were created by his power. So God did the right thing when he made Jesus perfect by suffering, as Jesus led many of God's children to be saved and to share in his glory. 11 Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. This is why he isn't ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. 12 (B) He even said to God,

“I will tell them your name
    and sing your praises
when they come together
    to worship.”

13 (C) He also said,

“I will trust God.”

Then he said,

“Here I am with the children
    God has given me.”

14 We are people of flesh and blood. This is why Jesus became one of us. He died to destroy the devil, who had power over death. 15 But he also died to rescue all of us who live each day in fear of dying. 16 (D) Jesus clearly did not come to help angels, but he did come to help Abraham's descendants. 17 He had to be one of us, so he could serve God as our merciful and faithful high priest and sacrifice himself for the forgiveness of our sins. 18 And now that Jesus has suffered and was tempted, he can help anyone else who is tempted.
