圣餐 Lord Supper

圣餐是什么？What is the Lord’s Supper ? 答：圣餐是上帝与我们立约的圣礼。我们按耶稣基督的吩咐，分发并领受饼与酒，来表明祂为我们的罪受死。 （路22:20）。 The Lord's Supper is a sacrament of the covenant with our God. wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine (symbolising his body and blood) according to the appointment of Jesus Christ , his death is showed forth.

如今基督在天上的宝座。但基督透过祂的圣灵与祂的话语，在圣餐座前亲自喂养我们。 Christ is now presently at the throne in heaven. However Christ feed us personally thru His Holy Spirit and His Word.

（1）那些以信心与敬畏神的心吃喝这饼与酒（预表基督的身体与血），得上帝属灵的喂养，并在上帝的恩典中长进（太26:26－28；林前11:23－26） Those who by faith and reverence feed upon the bread and wine (symbolising his body and blood), to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace.

（2）圣餐表明信徒在约中与基督有着属灵的联合。 （林前10:16）； The Lord supper point towards our union and communion in Christ.

（3） 圣餐也表明信徒同为一个肢体,是属于耶稣基督的身体。所以我们应当彼此相爱（林前10:17）。 （3） 圣餐也表明信徒同为一个肢体,是属于耶稣基督的身体。所以我们应当彼此相爱（林前10:17）。 The Lord supper points toward the union of believers as members in the one body of Christ and therefore we ought to love one another.

（4） 圣餐也表明主与我们立下的约，祂为我们流血使我们的罪得赦免。（太26:28）。 （4） 圣餐也表明主与我们立下的约，祂为我们流血使我们的罪得赦免。（太26:28）。 The Lord supper is a sign and seal of the covenant our Lord has made with us. The blood of Christ shed for us is for the forgiveness of our sins.

Heb 5:7 基督在肉体的时候，既大声哀哭，流泪祷告，恳求那能救他免死的主，就因他的虔诚蒙了应允。8 他虽然为儿子，还是因所受的苦难学了顺从。9 他既得以完全，就为凡顺从他的人成了永远得救的根源、... Heb 5:7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

婴孩洗礼 上帝把我生在信徒家中！ 我是基督徒！ 我是上帝的子民！ 这恩典之约也属于我的！ 我是教会的一份子！ 你们要教导我长大后守约信主！

婴孩因父母的缘故，是生在约中 Gen 17:9 上帝又对亚伯拉罕说：“你和你世世代代的后裔都要谨守我的约。10 我与你和你的后裔所立的这约，是你们应当谨守的，就是你们所有的男子，都要受割礼。11 你们都要割去身上的包皮，这就是我与你们立约的记号了。

旧(约)的印记与记号是割礼；新(约)的印记与记号是洗礼 旧与新的印记与记号，都指向孩子将来要因信称义。 Rom 4:11 他领受了割礼为记号，作他受割礼之前因信称义的印证… 孩子长大后一定要自己守约(信主)，相信耶稣基督才能被上帝算为义人。孩子若是长大后选择毁约(不信主)，将自己承担自己的罪孽。

耶稣说：让小孩子到我这里来，不要禁止他们，因为上帝的国正属于这样的人。 （路18:15-16; 太19:13-15；可10:13-16） (上帝的国是属于孩子的） 耶稣说：让小孩子到我这里来，不要禁止他们，因为上帝的国正属于这样的人。 （路18:15-16; 太19:13-15；可10:13-16）

孩子是基督徒，是上帝的子民。父母有义务教导他们要爱主并顺服主。 Deu 4:9 “你只要自己谨慎，又要谨守你的心思，免得你忘了你亲眼看见的事，又免得这些事在你有生之日离开你的心；总要把这些事传给你的子子孙孙， Eph 6:4 你们作父亲的，不要激怒儿女，却要照着主的教训和劝戒，养育他们。

对父母的劝诫 在上帝普遍的护理中providence, 我们晓得多数不敬虔的父母，不按主的吩咐教养儿女的。儿女长大后多是背约弃主者。 对教会的劝诫 教会有义务教导教会成员的一份子。教导教会的孩子认识耶稣。

洗礼只可一次 洗礼这印记与记号的有效性有上帝话语与圣灵的保证。

洗礼是主耶稣基督的命令（太28:19-20） 问：你是否接受耶稣基督就是上帝的独生爱子，祂就是上帝？ 问：你是否承认自己是罪人，接受耶稣基督为你的罪钉在十字架上 ？ 问：你是否相信耶稣基督赦免你的罪并赐你永生？

问：你是否相信耶稣基督受死埋葬，第三天复活，后升天，如今坐在天父上帝的右边? 问：你是否相信耶稣基督将来要回来审判世界 ？

Exo 24:4 摩西把耶和华的一切话都记下了【将耶和华的命令都写上】；清早起来，在山下筑了一座祭坛，按着以色列十二支派立了十二根柱子。5 又派了以色列人中的青年人去献燔祭，又向耶和华杀牛献为平安祭。6 摩西取了一半的血，盛在盆中；又取了另一半的血，洒在祭坛上。7 他又把约书拿过来，念给人民听；他们说：“耶和华吩咐的一切话，们都必遵行和听从。” Exo 24:4 And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD. 6 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar. 7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient."

Exo 24:8 摩西就取了血来，洒在人民的身上，说：“看哪，这是立约的血，这约是耶和华按着这一切话与你们立的。”9 随后，摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户和以色列长老中的七十人都上了山。10 他们看见了以色列的上帝；在上帝的脚下有好像蓝宝石一样晶莹的铺路，好像天色一般明亮。11 他不伸手攻击以色列人中的显贵；他们看见上帝，并且又吃又喝。 Exo 24:8 And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.“ 9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, 10 and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. 11 And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld (saw) God, and ate and drank.

Mat 8:10 耶稣听了，就很惊奇，对跟随的人说：“我实在告诉你们，这样的信心，我在以色列中从来没有见过。11 我告诉你们，必有许多人从东从西来到，和亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各在天国里一起吃饭【一同坐席】。 Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. 11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

圣餐

在逾越节, 主耶稣吩咐门徒要守圣餐来纪念祂为我们被宰杀。圣餐中的饼是基督的身体，那杯中的葡萄酒是基督的血。这饼与杯就成为了神百姓的记号。上帝审判世人时，不再纪念我们的罪。因为主应许：“这是我的血，是为立约的，为许多人流出来，使罪得赦。” 主的百姓要吃喝基督上帝羔羊的身体。

圣餐是什么？What is the Lord’s Supper ? 答：圣餐是上帝与我们立约的圣礼。我们按耶稣基督的吩咐，分发并领受饼与酒，来表明祂为我们的罪受死。 （路22:20）。 The Lord's Supper is a sacrament of the covenant with our God. wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine (symbolising his body and blood) according to the appointment of Jesus Christ , his death is showed forth.

如今基督在天上的宝座。但基督透过祂的圣灵与祂的话语，在圣餐座前亲自喂养我们。 Christ is now presently at the throne in heaven. However Christ feed us personally thru His Holy Spirit and His Word.

（1）那些以信心与敬畏神的心吃喝这饼与酒（预表基督的身体与血），得上帝属灵的喂养，并在上帝的恩典中长进（太26:26－28；林前11:23－26） Those who by faith and reverence feed upon the bread and wine (symbolising his body and blood), to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace.

（2）圣餐表明信徒在约中与基督有着属灵的联合。 （林前10:16）； The Lord supper point towards our union and communion in Christ.

（3） 圣餐也表明信徒同为一个肢体,是属于耶稣基督的身体。所以我们应当彼此相爱（林前10:17）。 （3） 圣餐也表明信徒同为一个肢体,是属于耶稣基督的身体。所以我们应当彼此相爱（林前10:17）。 The Lord supper points toward the union of believers as members in the one body of Christ and therefore we ought to love one another.

（4） 圣餐也表明主与我们立下的约，祂为我们流血使我们的罪得赦免。（太26:28）。 （4） 圣餐也表明主与我们立下的约，祂为我们流血使我们的罪得赦免。（太26:28）。 The Lord supper is a sign and seal of the covenant our Lord has made with us. The blood of Christ shed for us is for the forgiveness of our sins.

圣餐

Joh 6:47 我实实在在的告诉你们，信的人有永生。48 我就是生命的粮。

Mat 26:26 他们吃的时候，耶稣拿起饼来，祝福，就擘开，递给门徒，说：「你们拿著吃，这是我的身体」；27 又拿起杯来，祝谢了，递给他们，说：「你们都喝这个；28 因为这是我立约的血，为多人流出来，使罪得赦。 Mat 26:26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

圣餐在新的约中取代了旧的约中的逾越节 Holy Communion replaces the passover meal

Exo 12:21 于是，摩西把以色列的众长老召了来，对他们说：“你们要按着家族自己选取羊羔，把这逾越节的羊羔宰杀了。22 要拿一把牛膝草，蘸在盆中的血里，然后把盆里的血涂在门楣上和两边的门柱上；你们谁也不可出自己的房门，直到早晨。23 因为耶和华要走遍各处击打埃及人；他一看见门楣和两边的门柱上有血，就越过那门，不让那毁灭者进入你们的房屋来击杀你们。  Exo 12:21 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.

1Co 5:7 你们既是无酵的面，就应当把旧酵( jiao )除净，好让你们成为新的面团；因为我们逾越节的羊羔基督已经被杀献祭了。 1Co 5:7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Col 1:20 并且借着他在十字架上所流的血成就了和平，使万有，无论是地上天上的，都借着他与上帝和好了。 Col 1:20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

因为耶稣，上帝的审判越过我们 Because of what Jesus has done for us , God’s judgment has pass over us

  Mat 26:26 他们吃的时候，耶稣拿起饼来，祝谢了就擘开，递给门徒，说：“你们拿去吃吧，这是我的身体。”27 耶稣又拿起杯来，祝谢了就递给他们，说：“你们都喝吧，28 这是我的血，是为立约的，为许多人流出来，使罪得赦。29 我告诉你们，从今以后我必不再喝这葡萄酒，直到我和你们在我父的国里喝新酒的那一天。” Mat 26:26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

抹油祈祷 pray over the sick, anointing him with oil Jas 5:14 你们中间有人患病吗？他就应该请教会的长老来，让他们奉主的名为他抹油祈祷。15 出于信心的祈祷，可以使病人康复，主必叫他起来；他若犯了罪，也必蒙赦免。 Jas 5:14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

抹油祈祷pray over him, anointing him with oil 油没有神奇的力量。油乃是指向那恩膏我们的源头（我们的主耶稣基督）。 用油膏不是必须的，但能成为病患者的安慰。 祈祷是必需的。 被油膏者应当以信心来向主耶稣祈求。 病人能否得医治，在乎上帝的主权。
