耶穌為我們代求的兩個層面 The two aspects that Jesus intercedes for believers
耶穌為我們代求的兩個層面,並附上經文根據:
耶穌為信徒的代求有兩個層面:首先,祂作為永遠活著的大祭司,主動不斷地在神面前為信徒代求,保守他們得救到底。這不是根據我們是否禱告,而是祂在天上不間斷的中保職分,是祂救贖工作的一部分(羅馬書 8:34;希伯來書 7:25)。
其次,當信徒奉耶穌的名向父神禱告時,耶穌就成為我們具體禱告的中保與通道。我們無法直接憑自己進到父面前,但因為耶穌的義與祂所流的血,我們得以坦然無懼地來到施恩寶座前(提摩太前書 2:5;約翰福音 16:23;希伯來書 4:14–16)。
There are two distinct aspects of how Jesus intercedes for believers. First, as our eternally living High Priest, He continually and proactively intercedes before God on behalf of all believers, preserving them unto salvation. This is not dependent on whether we pray, but is part of His ongoing mediatorial role in heaven, grounded in His finished redemptive work (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25).
Second, when believers pray to the Father in the name of Jesus, He becomes the mediator and access point for our specific prayers. We cannot approach the Father by our own merit, but because of Jesus’ righteousness and His shed blood, we are able to come boldly to the throne of grace (1 Timothy 2:5; John 16:23; Hebrews 4:14–16).
