神的祝福

“耶和华晓谕摩西说：你告诉亚伦和他儿子说：‘你们要这样为以色列人祝福。’” - 民 6:22-23

在今天，世界各地的基督徒都会聚集一起敬拜神，敬拜结束时，很多人也会接受昔日亚伦和他儿子给以色列人的祝福：“愿耶和华赐福给你，保护你 …。”

神赐下什么祝福给我们呢？第一，我们得到神赐保守和卫护之福，生活在旷野时，这正是我们需要的。我们的生命充满了试炼、压力、饥饿、和死亡，听到神说衪会保护我们，真是好得无比！第二，我们得到神赐赦罪之福。耶和华的脸光照我们的另一个说法，就是说衪的脸因欢乐而发亮，因着耶稣的缘故，神的脸在恩典中光照我们。第三，我们得到神赐平安之福。向人转脸通常表示彼此有嫌隙，但向人仰脸则代表和好平安。神赐的祝福是衪向我们仰脸，这样我们便能在衪那里得平安了。

我们必须记着，这些话不是愿望，它们乃是祝福。换句话说，因着基督的缘故，这些话都是真实的；在耶稣基督里，我们得到保护、赦免、和与神恢复和好的关系。

亲爱的父，感谢你，因为当我们走坎坷不平的生命路时，藉着基督我们得到你的祝福，求你帮助我们信靠你。奉耶稣名祈求，阿们。

22耶和华晓谕摩西说：
23“你告诉亚伦和他儿子说，你们要这样为以色列人祝福，说：
24‘愿耶和华赐福给你，保护你！
25愿耶和华使他的脸光照你，赐恩给你！
26愿耶和华向你仰脸，赐你平安！’
27他们要如此奉我的名为以色列人祝福，我也要赐福给他们。”

The Blessing Of God

"The LORD said to Moses, 'Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is how you are to bless the Israelites.''" - Numbers 6:22-23

英语音频 English Audio

Today Christians all over the world will gather to worship God. Many will receive a closing blessing in worship through the words that Aaron and his sons spoke over Israel: "The LORD bless you and keep you. . . ."

What is this blessing that God puts on us? First, we receive the blessing of God's protection and keeping. This is something we need in the wilderness of life. Life is full of trials, heat, hunger, and death. How good it is to hear God say that he will keep us! Second, we receive the blessing of God's pardon. Another way of saying that God's face shines on us is to say that his face lights up with delight. This is true because of Jesus. His face shines on us in grace. Third, we receive the blessing of God's peace. When our face is turned away from someone else, it is often a sign of tension. But when our face is turned toward another, it is a sign of peace. God's blessing on us is that his face will be turned in our direction so that we will know peace with him.

We must remember that these are not wishes but blessings. In other words, they are true for us because of Christ. In Jesus Christ, we are kept, forgiven, and restored to peace with God.

Receive and believe his blessings today!

Prayer

Dear Father, we thank you that as we make our way through life's ups and downs, we have your blessings through Christ. Help us to believe it. For Jesus' sake, Amen.
