希伯来书2:1-4：所以，我们当越发郑重所听见的道理，恐怕我们随流失去。2那藉着天使所传的话，既是确定的，凡干犯悖逆的，都受了该受的报应。3我们若忽略这么大的救恩，怎能逃罪呢？这救恩起先是主亲自讲的，后来是听见的人给我们证实了。4神又按自己的旨意，用神迹奇事和百般的异能，并圣灵的恩赐，同他们作见证。
希伯来书的作者比较了西奈山伴随着众天使而来的消息（申命记33：2），和藉着耶稣临到我们的救恩的消息。上帝在西奈山上对以色列的儿女说话，上帝说的话对他们而言都是有约束力的。正如某人曾经说的俏皮话：“那不是十条建议，而是十条诫命。”如果上帝因为他的选民违反了西奈山之约而惩罚他们，那我们若忽略上帝藉着耶稣而来的救恩信息，我们是否应该被惩罚得更多？
希伯来书说救恩起先是由主亲自讲的。耶稣非常明确地教导上帝的救恩计划。阅读约翰福音3章，耶稣在半夜对尼哥底姆解释他的救恩计划。倾听路加福音15章关于失丧的比喻。对于救恩的计划他阐释得多么清楚啊。还有关于圣殿中的税吏和法利赛人的比喻。法利赛人夸耀自己的好行为，税吏却企求上帝的怜悯。谁得到赦免了？当然是税吏。这救恩的信息后来被听见的人给证实了，而且藉着神迹领受了圣灵的印记。
这里的关键信息是什么？耶稣的信息使得西奈山的信息黯然失色百倍不止。所以要听耶稣的话。从耶稣那里学习，他是上帝的儿子，我们的救主。当你读圣经的时候，不要回避，要一次次回到福音那里。要通读整本圣经，但是要花更多时间来聆听耶稣的话。
祷告：亲爱的耶稣，除你以外，我们还能跟从谁呢？在你有永生之道。就让我坐在你的脚边，聆听、学习并相信！阿们。
Hebrews 2: We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2 For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
The writer to Hebrews compares the message that came from Sinai, which was accompanied with a host of angels (Deuteronomy 33:2), with the message of salvation that has come to us through Jesus. God spoke to the children of Israel on Mt. Sinai, and what God said was binding on them. As someone once quipped, “They are not ten suggestions, they are ten commandments.” If God punished his people for breaking his covenant on Mt. Sinai, how much more do we deserved to be punished if we ignore God’s message of salvation through Jesus?
The writer to the Hebrews says that this salvation was first announced by the Lord. Jesus taught God’s plan of salvation clearly. Read John 3 and here Jesus explain his plan of salvation to Nicodemus in the middle of the night. Listen to Luke 15 and the parables of the lost. How clearly he explains the plan of salvation. List to the parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee in the temple. The Pharisee bragged about his good works while the tax collector begged for mercy. Who was forgiven? The tax collector. This message of salvation was confirmed by those who hard him and it was sealed by the Holy Spirit through miracles.
What’s the point? The message of Jesus eclipses the message from Sinai a hundred times over. So listen to Jesus. Learn from Jesus, the Son of God, our Savior. When you read your Bible, don’t shy away from coming back to the gospels again and again. Read the whole Bible, but spend more time listening to Jesus!
Prayer: Dear Jesus, to whom should we go? You have the words of eternal life! Let me sit at your feet and listen and learn and believe! Amen.
