第二章

 

⁶但是有人在聖經上某一處證實說

“人算甚麼，你竟記念他？

世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他？

⁷你使他比天使稍低微一點，

卻賜給他榮耀尊貴作冠冕，

   ⁸使萬物都服在他的腳下。

”既然萬有都服了他，就沒有剩下一樣不服他的了。但是現在我們還沒有看見萬有都服他。⁹不過，我們看見那位暫時成了比天使卑微的耶穌，因為受了死的痛苦，就得了榮耀尊貴作冠冕，好叫他因著神的恩典，為萬人嘗了死味。

¹⁰萬有因他而有、藉他而造的那位，為了要帶領許多兒子進入榮耀裡去，使救他們的元首藉著受苦而得到成全，本是合適的。

默想

1. 出聲讀出這段經文。
2. 再次慢慢地讀一遍經文，留意當中有哪些詞句觸動我的？反覆思想經文的主題與詞句。安靜一下，求神幫助我明白它們的意義，然後繼續思想這些字詞。為什麼我會被這些字詞觸動？這是否與我目前的生活狀況——感受、環境、抉擇——有關連？
3. 求主讓我能繼續不斷地被神的榮耀、神當受的尊崇，強烈地吸引。

 

禱告與筆錄：

繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

 

 

Chapter 2

⁶But there is a place where someone has testified:
“What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
⁷You made him a little lower than the angels;
you crowned him with glory and honor
⁸ and put everything under his feet.”

In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. ⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

¹⁰In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

 

Meditation

1. Read the passage aloud once.
2. Then read the passage again slowly.  What words or phrases capture my attention the most?  Pause for a moment and ask God to help me understand them and continue to meditate on them.  Why do I think those words or phrases fascinate me?  Are they related to what is going on in my life right now – feelings, circumstances, decisions, etc.?
3. Pray that I will be continually fascinated by God’s glory, honour and majesty.

 

Prayer & Journaling:

Stay with God for a little longer.  Continue to converse with God and listen to what he wants to tell me.  Then write down any thought and/or prayer in the  “Spiritual Journal” book.
