标 题： 崇敬
经 节： 弟兄们，我们既因耶稣的血得以坦然进入至圣所，是借着祂给我们开了一条又新又活的路，从幔子经过，这幔子就是祂的身体。（希伯来书十章19～20节）
我们这个世代，缺乏对神的赞叹感与崇敬感。我们把神降到我们的水平，视神为平凡无奇。祂是神！虽然身为祂的子女，我们可以直接与祂相交，但我们永远不能忘记，我们能够与祂相交，乃是因祂独生子的宝血重价买赎而来。一个真正了解救赎真理的人，决不会进入神的同在，却没有敬畏感。人若理解救主在髑髅地付上重价，就不会把自己与神的关系，视为理所当然。
除非先领悟神的圣洁和祂对祂子民圣洁的要求，就永远不能了解神和祂亲近我们的方式。如果与神同在，我们就是站在圣地！我们的行动决不能以“我们成功是神的目的”，作为我们的指针。一旦神没有照着我们所期望的方式及时间回答，我们就不耐烦，这种态度真是荒唐！祂是神，我们不是！
如果你默想耶稣在十字架所付的代价，让你能够直接亲近天父，你会珍惜自己的祷告时间。崇拜会变成你的特权──你会心怀感激地把握这个特权。当你在一切事上追求圣洁时，圣经对你会变得特别宝贵（哥林多后书七：1；彼得前书一：15）。
如果你不再赞叹神的救恩，你一定要重访髑髅地，目击救主为你舍命的一幕。神所赐的救恩，真是无价之宝啊！
Reverence
Therefore,
brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new
and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His
flesh. (Hebrews 10:19-20)
Our generation lacks a sense of wonder and
reverence toward God. We want to bring God down to our level, to the
commonplace. He is God! Though we have direct access to Him as His children, we
ought never to forget that this access was purchased with the precious blood of
His only Son. No one who truly understands this ever enters God’s presence
without a sense of holy awe. No one who comprehends the incredible price paid
at Calvary ever takes his relationship with God for granted.
We will never truly understand God and the
way He relates to us unless we first comprehend a true sense of His holiness
and His demand for holiness among His people. If we are in God’s presence, we
are on holy ground! We must never act as if it were God’s purpose to make us
successful. It would be preposterous for us to become impatient when God does
not answer our prayers when and how we think He should! He is God, we are not!
As you meditate on the price Jesus paid to
give you access to the Father, you will come to treasure your prayer times with
Him. Worship will become a privilege you seize with gratitude. Scripture will
be dear to you as you strive to be holy in all that you do (2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Pet.
1:15).
If you have lost your wonder at the
incredible gift of salvation that has been given to you, you need to revisit
the cross and witness your Savior suffering for you. How priceless God’s gift
of salvation is!
