旧约 - 何西阿书(Hosea)第6章

"Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth."
"What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears.
Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets, I killed you with the words of my mouth; my judgments flashed like lightning upon you.
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
Like Adam, they have broken the covenant--they were unfaithful to me there.
Gilead is a city of wicked men, stained with footprints of blood.
As marauders lie in ambush for a man, so do bands of priests; they murder on the road to Shechem, committing shameful crimes.
I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel. There Ephraim is given to prostitution and Israel is defiled.
"Also for you, Judah, a harvest is appointed.
何西阿书第六章   第 6 章 

  何 6:1-3> 用花言巧语的忏悔企图换取神的赦恩,其实我心也常是这样想…… 

  6:1-3 这是以色列人的假设,而不是真正的忏悔。百姓不明白自己所犯的罪有多严重,他们没有远离偶像,也不认罪痛改前非。他们认为神的愤怒持续几天就会过去,却没料到以色列人马上就要被掳。以色列只对神提供的物质利益感兴趣,却不看重由敬拜真神而来的永恒的好处。然而,在批判以色列之前,请先来看看我们自己的态度。你希望从信仰中得到什么?你是否轻言忏悔,却从未认真思考生命中所需要的改变? 

  何 6:4> 以虚伪面对信实的全能神,其结果你也想像得到吧……你又用什么来回应神? 

  6:4 耶和华回答祂的子民,指出他们效忠的表白犹如云雾和甘露,转眼消散,毫无实质意义。对神表面委身而无真诚的忠心是轻松又容易的。若要宣誓忠于神,就用行动来支持你的宣言吧! 

  顺服与祭祀 \cf0 

  何 6:6> 有心敬拜神,行出来却只是形式上的!人有时不就是如此吗? 

  6:6 宗教仪式可以帮助人们了解神,并且促进与神的关系,这就是神在旧约中设立割礼和献祭的制度,在新约中设立洗礼和圣餐仪式的原因。然而只有怀着对神的爱和顺从的心,这宗教仪式才对人有助益;如果人的心远离神,履行这礼仪也是空虚徒劳的。神要的不是以色列人的礼仪,而是他们的心。你为何而敬拜?你“祭祀”和献“燔祭”的背后动机是什么? 

  何 6:7> 信誓旦旦,渐成背信弃义,你在诧异以色列人的背叛,可是我们自己又是如何? 

  6:7 何西阿书的主题之一是以色列违反了神与他们在西奈山所立的约(参出 19-20 章)。神要以色列成为各国的光和祝福(参创 12:2-3 ;赛 49:6 )。如果神的选民顺服祂、在全地传扬祂,祂就必赐他们特别的福气;若他们背约,就必遭受严厉的惩罚,这是他们应该知道的(参申 28:15-68 )。可悲的是,以色列人违背圣约,证实了他们对神不忠。你是否也对神不忠?是否忘记了事奉神的诺言? 

  何 6:8-9> 祭司与强盗为伍,逃城堕落为罪恶城,现今的世代也是如此? 

  6:8-9 基列(拉米在其范围之内)曾是神圣之地,是逃城;示剑过去也是约书亚指定的逃城(参书 20:1-2 , 7-8 )。然而,此时这些地方已变成堕落腐败之所,使人联想起的只是谋杀、犯罪,以及邪恶的祭司结伙埋伏,伺机杀害路人。 

  何 6:11> 犹大人在为北国灭亡而窃喜之时,神却早有命定…… 

  6:11 何西阿在此插入神关于“收割”的严正警告,使犹大人不因北国的灭亡而窃喜。神的殿在犹大耶路撒冷,犹大人认为发生在以色列的事绝不会降临到他们身上,但当犹大变得极度败坏时,他们也终归被掳(参王下 25 章)。──《灵修版圣经注释》
