Abram gave tithe to Melchizedek
W2 2010-10-12 (來7:1-9:10)
經文: 希伯來書 7:17 因為有給他作見證的說：「你是照著麥基洗德的等次永遠為祭司。」
默想: 感謝主的恩典，在亞伯拉罕戰勝四國聯軍，將羅得救回來時，遇見撒冷王麥基洗德，他為亞伯拉罕擺上餅與酒，讚美上帝的恩典，也祝福亞伯拉罕。亞伯拉罕將所得拿出十分之一，獻給麥基洗德。由於這位麥基洗德在聖經中，來無影、去無蹤，“無父，無母，無族譜，無生之始，無命之終，乃是與神的兒子相似。” 可以預表主耶穌是一位永遠的祭司。感謝上帝的恩典。
題目: 麥基洗德的祭司職份與亞倫的祭司職份有何異同？
Melchizedek and Aaron were the two great Priests of the Old Testament. Of the two, Melchizedek was the greater. Melchizedek was not only the head of his order, but he had no successor. The office began and terminated with him (Heb 7:3).
回覆刪除Christ's order as Priest is that of Melchizedek, not at all that of Aaron; Heb 7 makes this fact perfectly clear. Melchizedek's and Aaron's priesthoods, are gloriously accomplished in the work of Jesus Christ.
大家平安
回覆刪除不太明白，麥基洗德是"人"嗎？他是王(7:1)，「他無父，無母，無族譜，無生之始，無命之終，乃是與 神的兒子相似。」(3)位份比亞伯拉罕高，「收納亞伯拉罕的十分之一，為那蒙應許的亞伯拉罕祝福。」(6)
亞倫（利未支派）在律例之後成為祭司，麥基洗德在律法之前已經是王、是祭司，雖說麥基洗德是耶穌的預表，但我不禁懷疑......會不會就是"神子"（尚未道成肉身）耶穌？
無論如何，保羅提到「更美的約」、「更美的應許」，所以祭司麥基洗德、祭司亞倫都是讓我們預先嘗到與神和好的甜美；真正永存的大祭司耶穌，以他自己為祭物，一次獻祭，救恩永遠成立！哈利路亞！感謝讚美主！
