永恒的产业
当我们说到产业，通常会想到一个人从去世的亲人或朋友那里得到的东西。产业是作为死者的遗愿或遗嘱的一部份给出的。
希伯来书告诉我们，因着耶稣的死，“便叫蒙召之人得着所应许永远的产业。” 这一产业就是之前我们在5:9节听到的“永远得救”，和9:12节里的“永远赎罪”。
有些人用“最后的遗嘱”来形容在基督里的新约。在某种程度上，希伯来书在这里使用的语言听起来就像是一个遗嘱，特别是它谈到了产业。
为了让某人得到产业，需要一个人死去。为了让我们得着“所应许永远的产业”，耶稣为我们死了。把产业和死连在一起并不是新约独有的观点。旧约中也有死：所献祭牲的死。现在基督为我们死了，祂用祂的血立了新约，好使我们得着“所应许永远的产业。”
想想吧！因为耶稣为我们死了，我们有了永恒的生命作为产业。在基督里，这新的生命现在就开始了！
亲爱的神，感谢你因着耶稣为我们受死，赐给我们永恒的生命这一产业。阿们。
希伯来书 9:15-22
15为此，他做了新约的中保，既然受死赎了人在前约之时所犯的罪过，便叫蒙召之人得着所应许永远的产业。
16凡有遗命，必须等到留遗命的人死了。
17因为人死了，遗命才有效力，若留遗命的尚在，那遗命还有用处吗？
18所以，前约也不是不用血立的。
19因为摩西当日照着律法将各样诫命传给众百姓，就拿朱红色绒和牛膝草，把牛犊、山羊的血和水洒在书上，又洒在众百姓身上，说：
20“这血就是神与你们立约的凭据。”
21他又照样把血洒在帐幕和各样器皿上。
22按着律法，凡物差不多都是用血洁净的，若不流血，罪就不得赦免了。
Eternal Inheritance
"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance. . . ." - Hebrews 9:15
When we think of an inheritance, we usually think about something a person receives from a relative or friend who has died. The inheritance is given as part of the deceased person’s last will and testament.
Hebrews tells us that as a result of Christ’s death, “those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.” This inheritance is the “eternal salvation” and “eternal redemption” we heard about earlier in Hebrews 5:9 and 9:12.
Some people have described the “new covenant” in Christ in terms of a “last will and testament.” In some ways the language used here in Hebrews sounds like that of a last will and testament, especially when it talks about an inheritance.
In order for someone to receive an inheritance, a person has to have died. For us to receive “the promised eternal inheritance,” Jesus died for our sake. The idea that inheritance is tied to death is not only for the new covenant. In the old covenant there was also death: the death of sacrificed animals. Now that Christ has died for us, he has established the new covenant in his blood so that we can receive “the promised eternal inheritance.”
Think of it! Because of Jesus’ death for our sake, we have eternal life with him as our inheritance. And in Christ that new life begins even now!
Lord God, thank you for the inheritance of eternal life with you because of Jesus’ death for us. Amen.
