“我们既有这许多的见证人,如同云彩围着我们,就当放下各样的重担,脱去容易缠累我们的罪,存心忍耐,奔那摆在我们前头的路程,仰望为我们信心创始成终的耶稣。”
希伯来书 12:1-2a
耶稣是信心的盾牌。在耶稣里,那坚不可摧的信心盾牌,从头到脚,就是我们的,用以抵挡黑暗之王投射在我们身上每一支凶猛的火箭。这个盾牌不可分割地与神的话相连,“……但你所学习,所确信的,要存在心里,因为你知道是跟谁学的。并且知道你是从小明白圣经,这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣有得救的智慧。”
1220 JESUS is the SHIELD of FAITH
JESUS is the SHIELD of FAITH. From head to toe the impenetrable shield of faith is ours in Jesus to hold against every fiery missile hurled at us by the prince of darkness. This shield is inextricable linked to the Word of God. “…Continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them; and that from childhood you have known the sacred writing which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
“THEREFORE, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surroundings us, let us lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.”
Hebrews 12:1-2a
