Propitiation

Romans 3:25-26 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood as an evidence of his righteousness for the passover of sin-offerings that was done previously in the suffering of God, for the purpose of [revealing] the evidence of his righteousness in this time, to declare he himself is just and whoever [born] from the faith of Jesus is justified.

When Adam and Eve sinned against God in Eden, they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. (Gen 3:21) Who sacrificed his own life and gave his own skin to cover Adam and Eve from God's wrath?

In the day of flood, GOD¹ saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination² of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. (Gen 6:5), who became the pitch (Heb.: cover, atonement, pacify, purge T*r+p^k*w+ see also Gen 32:20, Exo 29:33, Lev 1:4, Dan 9:24) that prevented flood (God's wrath) entering the ark (Gen 6:14) and saved Noah and his whole family?

In the day of famine, who suffered the sins of Joseph's brothers, sold Joseph (sold himself) and came down to Egypt to fulfill God's good will to save the whole family of Jacob?

In the night of Egypt, who became the lamb of passover, and his blood was shed to mark the door posts of his children as a propritiation to appease God's wrath such that the house of Israel might be passed over from God's judgement (destroyer) and be saved? (Exo 12:13)

On the cross, who bare with our transgression and sins against God, before he died on the cross and he still prayed for us to pacify God's anger saying “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luk 23:34)?

It's Him, Jesus, who come to cover us and became our propritiation: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same (Heb 2:14); thus He Himself uses His flesh and blood to shield us from the consumption of God's judgement which is a flaming sword which turned every way (Gen 3:24), that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil (Heb 2:14), and return us to the way of the tree of life (Gen 3:24). And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Heb 2:15)

My dear brethren and sisters, there is no sin that Jesus cannot bear, neither there is tribulation that Jesus cannot overcome, His love never forsakes us from even before the beginning of the world (Eph 1:4)! Dear brethren and sisters, since we are born from the faith in His blood, and we have Jesus as our merciful and faithful high priest in front of God, to make reconciliation for our sins (Heb 2:17), we shall be strong and courageous to anchor our hope of salvation through the forerunner Jesus Christ who entered into the veil for us (Heb 6:19-20). Such that His merciful grace of salvation and His everlasting power of resurrection can cover us forever, Hallelujah, Amen!

挽回祭

挽回祭

羅馬書3:35-26『 神設立耶穌作挽回祭_、是藉著在耶穌血裡的信實¹_、要顯明　神的義_．因為　神自己擔當_、逾越^*〔或作寬容〕就是那在先時就已成就的贖罪祭²_．好在今時顯明他的義_、使人知道他自己為義_、也稱由耶穌的信實而生的人為義³_。』

當亞當夏娃在伊甸園犯了罪,天起了涼風,耶和華　神為亞當和他妻子用皮子作衣服_、給他們穿_。(創3:21)是誰捨了自己的命用自己的皮遮蓋了亞當夏娃,好平息神的怒氣呢?

在洪水的日子,耶和華見人在地上罪惡很大_、終日所思想的盡都是惡_．(創6:5)是誰親自成了那不讓洪水(神的憤怒)透入方舟的松香(原文作遮蓋)(創6:14)好救挪亞一家的性命呢?

在飢荒的日子,是誰親自擔當了約瑟哥哥們的罪,賣了約瑟(賣了自己)下到埃及好成就神的美意(創50:20),拯救了雅各全家?

在出埃及的那一夜,是誰親自成了逾越節的羔羊,將自己的血塗抹在以色列兒女的門框上成為挽回祭,好平息神的怒氣,使滅命的使者越過以色列家?

在十字架上,是誰親自擔當了我們的罪惡過犯,且死在十字架上,在斷氣前還不住地在父神面前平息神的怒氣好挽回我們,替我們祈求說:『父阿_、赦免他們_．因為他們所作的_、他們不曉得_。』?

是耶穌!是耶穌親自成了我們的遮蓋,成了我們的挽回祭:因為兒女既同有血肉之體_、耶穌也照樣親自成了血肉之體_．(來2:14)用自己的血肉之體來遮蓋我們,好抵擋那四面轉動發火燄的劍(創3:24),特要藉著死_、敗壞那掌死權的就是魔鬼(來2:14),要把我們帶回到生命樹的道路(創3:24)_。並要釋放那些一生因怕死而為奴僕的人_。(來2:15)

親愛的弟兄姊妹們,沒有一樣罪惡耶穌不能擔當,也沒有一樣苦難耶穌未曾勝過,他的愛總是這樣地不離不棄,從亙古的先時就有,一直到如今!親愛的弟兄姊妹們,我們既是耶穌血裡的信實所生的兒女,並有耶穌這位慈悲忠信的大祭司_、為我們的罪獻上了挽回祭(來2:17),就當剛強壯膽,將我們的指望如同靈魂的錨,藉著那作先鋒又從死裡復活的耶穌_、為我們進入幔內_、又堅固又牢靠地通入幔內(來6:19-20)好讓他救贖的恩典和復活的大能永遠的遮蓋我們,哈利路亞,阿們!
