2026-5-29 麦基洗德预表基督是大祭司(五)

经文:6:20 作先锋的耶稣,既照着麦基洗德的等次,成了永远的大祭司,就为我们进入幔内……是藉着祂给我们开创了一条又新又活的路,从幔子经过,这幔子就是祂的肉体……并且在心一面,我们已经被基督的血洒过,脱开了邪恶的良心,在身体一面,也已经用清水洗净了,就当存着真诚的心,以十分确信的信,前来进入至圣所;(来六20,十20, 22,另译)

四、进入幔内,至圣所(来6:2010:22

主耶稣作先锋,领先经过风暴的海,进入属天的避风港,照麦基洗德的等次,为我们作了大祭司,作这样一位先锋,祂乃是我们救恩的创始者(二10)。作先锋,祂开了通往荣耀的路,作创始者,祂已经进入了荣耀。

进入幔内,这是帐幕里的第二层幔子(九3),预表基督的肉体。当基督的肉体钉死十字架时,这层幔子裂开了(太二七51),就为我们这些原来与生命树所表征(创三22-24)的神隔绝的人,开了一条路,使我们得以进入至圣所接触神,并以神为生命树给我们享受。这也含示我们的旧人既与基督同钉十字架,我们就有一条通路,在灵里接触并享受神,作我们的生命和生命的供应。

在此身体和清水都是寓意的说法,如同弗五26-27的斑点、皱纹和水一样。身体是指我们看得见的外面,犹如心是指我们看不见的里面;清水是指主的活话,洁净我们外面的行事为人(参约十五3)。

Melchizedek as a Type of Christ as the Great High Priest (5) — Heb. 6:20; 10:22

IV. Having Entered Within the Veil, Into the Holy of Holies (Heb. 6:20; 10:22)

The Lord Jesus, as a forerunner, led the way through the stormy sea and entered the heavenly harbor. Having become the great High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek, He is as such a forerunner the Author of our salvation (2:10). As forerunner, He opened the way to glory; as Author, He has already entered into glory.

Entering within the veil refers to the second veil of the tabernacle (9:3), which typifies the flesh of Christ. When Christ’s flesh was crucified on the cross, this veil was torn (Matt. 27:51), opening a way for us — those who were originally separated from God as typified by the tree of life (Gen. 3:22-24) — to enter the Holy of Holies to contact God and enjoy God as the tree of life. This also implies that since our old man has been crucified together with Christ, we have a way to contact and enjoy God in our spirit, as our life and the supply of life.

Here, “body” and “pure water” are figurative expressions, similar to the spots, wrinkles and water in Ephesians 5:26-27. “Body” refers to our visible outward living, just as “heart” refers to our invisible inward being; “pure water” refers to the living word of the Lord, cleansing our outward conduct (cf. John 15:3).
