Hebrew 5:11=6:8
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
The writer is frustrated in what he wants to say because of his hearers' lack of understanding. They have got stuck at the ABD level in their faith. This lack of progress is bad enough in itself. But it is symptomatic of something much more serious. They are in danger of abandoning their faith altogether. So the writer give his sternest warning.
Why?
We can not always be an infant of Christian, we need to grow up to be mature in faith.
When trial comes, those who have no faith will be thrown away and fallen away.
A mature man is may distinguish good from evil.
How?
Be strong and learn from the Bible through the Holy Spirit. Keep faith in the Lord for God is good.

You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek
Hebrew 4:14-5:10
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was. In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, "you are my Son; today I have become your father".
And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
The writer moves on from Jesus as the Son of God, to Jesus, our great high priest, a title has given him nowhere else in the New Testament.
Aaron was appointed by God as the first high priest of Israel. He was the intermediary between a holy God and a sinful people, the go-between who represented each to the other. The Jewish religion - the system these Jewish Christians were tempted to return to - still had its high priest. But in Chris, the writer says, we have a high priest who fulfills all the statutory requirements, and far more, because he has no need to atone for his own sins. He is the perfect high priest appointed by God as a mediator for all tome.
Why?
We may approach God's throne of grace with confidence. This is the grace from Jesus who erases our sins through his blood. What we need is faith.
Jesus Christ is the biggest priest forever before the Lord and prays for us, this priest is appointed by the Lord instead of by Arron the man.
Jesus became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, so anyone who obeys Jesus Christ could be saved.

耶穌基督是超越亞倫的大祭司。

2)耶穌基督的身份是神的兒子，與神的關係是零距離。亞倫及其後代都是人所生的，也會陷在罪中。得自己先贖罪才能服事神。
3)耶穌基督也曾受過試探，沒有犯罪，更能體恤我們的軟弱。耶穌基督的完全成為我們的救贖。耶穌在肉體上也和我們一樣面臨各種試探，這種試探是耶穌靠著聖靈勝過了，耶穌沒有使用其神的能力來勝過。耶穌是完全的人，那種掙扎和我們一樣，但是耶穌沒有失敗，我們跟著耶穌，順從耶穌就可以得勝。

Enter the rest the passport to it is faith
Hebrew 4:1-13
But the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
The parallel is made more explicit. The 'rest' God spoke of was more than just a stable and secure life in the land he had promised. Through the psalmist, hundreds of Years after Joshua's day God was still appealing to people to enter his rest. There is a spiritual counterpart to the promised land, and the passport to it is faith. God's resting-place has existed from the time of the creation
It is still there. We enter into that eternal rest. God's peace, as trust him and take at his word.
The writer has been arguing from God's word: now he steps back to consider it : alive, penetrating exposing everything to the One to whom all must give account.
Why?
There is another rest that is not led by Joshua, for God said to David "Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."
So all of us need to make every effort to enter that rest. Be careful to perish when following the example of disobedience.
--------------------------------
第二個警告：要竭力進入那安息
最後另外指定的安息，才是真正的安息
V1-3 : 進入安息的勸勉和應許。這安息是為我們預定的，只怕我們得不到。聽見神的道，卻是不信。
V4-10: 創世以來的安息--神看到創造的美好，心中喜悅。可惜人要走自己的路，以致失去那安息。歇了自己的工，是完全依靠神的安排與供應，不是自己什麼都不做。人不是求吃的飽，住的好，神安排的比這個更好。神要給人的不僅是流奶與蜜之地的土產，而是更高的層次，得救，得生命，得神話語的供應
V11-13 信從就是信心。進入安息很辛苦嗎？很簡單，但是人將這事弄困難了，不要想靠自己努力，努力不要靠自己，所以要竭力。
神的話可以連我們的心思意念都顯明出來。幫助我們反省自己！讓我們不斷更新改變，成長。自己努力爭取，結果往往是勞苦愁煩！

We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end
Hebrew 3:7-19
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.
And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
This whole passage is rooted in the Greek version of Psalm. Those to whom this letter is addressed are in a very similar position to Israel at the time of the exodus. Both have seen God at work in an amazing way. But despite this, the Israelites rebelled against God in the desert. 'They did not believe' - and so a whole generation forfeited their right to enter the promised land and enjoy the rest God would have given them. Be warned. What happened then can happen now., if those who hear God's message do not accept it.
Why?
There are history shows to us Israelite unfaithful to the Lord so they could not enter the promised land. So it is the truth now if we hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, but harden our heart will be forsaken by the Lord.
All Christians have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold out original conviction firmly to the very end may enter the rest of the Lord

提出反面的警告： 不得進入安息。
不可硬著心，只是觀看，神的作為即神的道路。在危難時，只是看神的作為，看看這個時候神可以變出什麼把戲來。40年以色列人觀看神的作為，帶著輕蔑的眼光。遇到困難就抱怨摩西，從未沒有為此感恩！沒有從神蹟因而更去依靠神。他們只要神蹟，不要神的人，他們常常心裏迷糊，不明白神的道路。神要以色列人不要憂慮吃什麼穿什麼，神必供應。這是外邦人求的。
不得進入安息，因為人不想在神的家享受安息，而去外面，自己找的。

And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
Hebrews 3:1-6
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
Moses made Israel into a nation. He led them out of slavery in Egypt and through the desert. He gave them God's law and their forms of worship. No one was more revered by the Jews, and rightly so. But he could never be more than God's faithful servant. Jesus is God's son.
Why?
Jesus like Moses but greater than Moses, as his faithful and his builder position.
We are the house of the Lord if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. How great this position God gives us through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is our apostle and high priest, and he is higher than Moses.
We are brothers and sisters sharing in the heavenly calling for Jesus.

Four reasons for God in flesh
Hebrews 2:5-18
Four reasons for God in flesh: 1)the son of man that you care for him. 2) In 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. 3) since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death - that is, the devil. 4) In order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
For a little while, Christ shared out human nature. Now he is crowned with glory because he willingly suffered death for our benefit, to free us from the power of death and to cleanse us of sin. It is 'as if the whole created order was designed on the principle that glory could be secured through suffering'. He is the 'pioneer', blazing the way to salvation for all who follow. What is more, because he was one of us - like us in every way - we can be sure he is able to help us.
Why?
Jesus came from heaven for our salvation became flesh living with us. So Jesus is son of man and who suffering to make atonement for the sins of the people.
What we can do is trust Jesus and accept Jesus as our salvation. It is a mystery from the Lord for all people.

v5-9 : 神沒有把將來的世界交給天使，而是交給人來管理。人仍未能管理萬物。耶穌基督代替人完成神的心意，萬物服在耶穌下面。我們跟隨基督，走在基督為我們開的路，不用那麼辛苦。
v10-13 耶穌稱人為他的弟兄，幾乎同等，不是真的同等。是耶穌看重我們，與同享耶穌的喜樂、榮耀。我們常常看輕自己的榮耀地位。得的太容易，看輕這樣的股份福份。在一群奴隸中爭頭，但是仍然是奴隸。好像一群站票的人爭著好站的位子，我們為什麼不坐頭等艙?我們要去爭世界的地位，卻忽略神聖的地位。
14-18 我們一生的結局就是死亡。無法逃避這關。耶穌基督為我們走過這段，一一為我們贏回來了。
路難走，但是耶穌為我們走。人生還有許多試探！失敗，被罪惡勝過，耶穌就是為我們勝過試探。讓我們原本過不了的關卡得以通過。

Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; Hebrews
Hebrews 1:1-2:4
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 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. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
The letter begins with the most amazing statement on the nature of God's Son. Jesus is not only GOd's complete, supreme and final revelation of himself. He is the actual embodiment of the character and glory of God: the imprint of his Person; God's express image. He is the 'heir of all things', the creator and sustainer of the universe, the one who has effected God's great purpose of salvation. Through him sin has been dealt with, forgiveness made possible. His work complete, he is seated now at God's side, in the position of supreme power.
The angels themselves worship Christ. They are spiritual beings, but no more than God's servants. The Son is far and away above them - as the scriptures prove.
If the message of the angels - that is the law of Moses, how much more important is the Son's message of salvation.
Why?
Jesus is the son of the Lord, it is written in the Bible and spoken by many prophets.
If Jesus is the Son of the Lord, how can we ignore his salvation?

第一個超越： 超越天使。
1:5-14 天使是被造的，不是創造者。我們是被造的，又因耶穌基督成為神的兒女，這是從神生的。天使不會稱神為父親。天使是使者，且為服役神，為人效力。天使是耶穌基督的僕人。耶穌基督是掌權者，以公義正直來掌權。
2:1-4 隨流失去，隨人的想法。當時猶太人視耶穌為天使，我們認為耶穌大有能力，但是我們認為耶穌是掌權者嗎？我們是否只希望在需要的時候出現一下，其他時候不用說來煩我了。
我們不要忽略救恩。這四重見證，耶穌基督自己說，門徒證明，神用神蹟奇事，聖靈證明我們是神的兒女。四重見證的救恩怎麼能忽視。神何等看重人，要來說明，讓耶穌基督來救我們。我們也要改變。

我們不要忽略救恩。這四重見證，耶穌基督自己說，門徒證明，神用神蹟奇事，聖靈證明我們是神的兒女。四重見證的救恩怎麼能忽視。神何等看重人，要來說明，讓耶穌基督來救我們。我們也要改變。
