读经：希伯来书2：10～18
10原来那为万物所属，为万物所本的，要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去，使救他们的元帅，因受苦难得以完全，本是合宜的。
10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
11因那使人成圣的，和那些得以成圣的，都是出于一。所以他称他们为弟兄，也不以为耻，
11Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
12说，我要将你的名传与我的弟兄，在会中我要颂扬你。
12He says, "I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises."
13又说，我要倚赖他。又说，看哪，我与神所给我的儿女。
13And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again he says, "Here am I, and the children God has given me."
14儿女既同有血肉之体，他也照样亲自成了血肉之体。特要借着死，败坏那掌死权的，就是魔鬼。
14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil--
15并要释放那些一生因怕死而为奴仆的人。
15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
16他并不救拔天使，乃是救拔亚伯拉罕的后裔。
16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.
17所以他凡事该与他的弟兄相同，为要在神的事上，成为慈悲忠信的大祭司，为百姓的罪献上挽回祭。
17For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
18他自己既然被试探而受苦，就能搭救被试探的人。
18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
罪确实令人觉得痛苦……
当我们痛苦绝望时，我们依然有上帝，无论何时何地，祂总会看顾我们、总不撇下我们。曾经，因为罪，我们与上帝隔绝了……因上帝爱我们，祂为我们赐下祂独生子耶稣——为我们的罪钉于十字架。借着耶稣，我们与上帝和好了，因祂已担当我们的罪，感谢主……！
今天是受难日，我们应当默想耶稣伟大的作为。2千多年前耶稣为了救赎我们，使我们与上帝和好，祂……忍受痛苦、甚至绝望……当祂担当了我们世人的罪后，上帝离弃了耶稣，因那一刻祂身上背负了我们的罪，那一刻，耶稣与上帝隔绝了，没有上帝，那是何等绝望！！！
然而，3天后，耶稣战胜死亡，祂复活了！
如今，耶稣已坐在全能父的右边，我们靠着祂亲近神。
为何圣洁的耶稣要为我们而受苦、为我们牺牲？？
只因祂爱我们……主啊，感谢袮……！
