《旧约》中的什么奥秘,在《新约》中被揭示了?

“奥秘”(mustērion)一词在新约中出现了 27 次。其中二十次,即百分之七十四,出现在保罗的著作中。在《马太福音》、《马可福音》和《路加福音》中只出现过三次。在《启示录》中出现四次。 我们来聚焦保罗称为奥秘的两件事情。 奥秘并不是在《旧约》或耶稣的传道中没有揭示的东西。它是在没有进一步启示的情况下无法理解的东西。 首先,保罗说教会在《旧约》中是一个奥秘(参弗 3:9;6:19)。在教会诞生之前,没有人知道犹太人和外邦人将合而为一;即使在教会诞生之后,也没有人立即知道这一点。早期的基督徒认为,虽然撒玛利亚人和外邦人可以得到永生,但他们不能成为教会的一部分。他们认为教会只是犹太人的教会。 在《使徒行传》第 8 章中,撒玛利亚人被纳入教会,但这只是在彼得和约翰前往撒玛利亚为新信徒按手之后才发生的。使徒们需要亲眼看到神有意让撒玛利亚人成为教会的一部分。 在《使徒行传》第 10 章中,外邦人被纳入教会。彼得那次也在场。他是带领他们信基督的人(使徒行传 10:43-48;11:14;15:7-11)。 《旧约》确实提到过外邦人可以进入国度。有些人认为,《旧约》中甚至讨论过教会。我听过赞恩·霍奇斯(Zane Hodges)关于诗篇 45 篇的精彩讲道。他认为诗篇中的新妇就是教会,但这要到新约才知道。他认为 “王的女儿 ”指的是以色列。 许多人认为,在《旧约》中也有教会被提的类型(例如,在《创世纪》第 2 章中,夏娃被带到亚当身边;在《创世纪》第 5 章中,以诺被活着带到天上;在《创世纪》第 19 章中,罗得和他的家人在所多玛被毁灭之前被带出所多玛;在《创世纪》第 6-9 章中,诺亚和他的家人可能被从世界范围的毁灭中解救出来)。然而,教会和教会的 “被提 […]
