背诵经文

出埃及记 25:8

开始祷告(5-10分钟)

团队建造(10分钟)

今天，我们要讨论 施恩座 和 约柜。在圣经中，它们有时被称为神的座位和祂的脚凳。作为一个有趣的引入，我们要玩一个叫 “放松休息” 的游戏。

• 把学生分成至少三人的小组。

• 给每个人分配一个角色：椅子、脚凳或放松的人。

• 如果有不均匀的四人或更多一组，椅子可以由两人组成，脚凳也可以由两人组成。

• 像抢椅子游戏一样，播放音乐时让大家在房间里走动。

• 某一时刻，停止音乐并喊“放松休息！”

• 无论他们在房间的哪个位置，小组必须尽快组合成一个椅子（四肢着地）、一个脚凳（四肢着地），然后“放松的人”坐在椅子上，把脚放在脚凳上。

• 放松者的身体不能有任何部分碰到地面。

• 目标是尽可能长时间保持这个姿势。

• 提醒孩子们注意安全，不要伤到人。孩子们最终会倒下、摔倒或放弃。最后坚持下来的那一组就是赢家！

课程导入(5分钟)

一般讨论：

• 你知道会幕是什么吗？（旧约中神的居所，一个以色列人无论到哪里都支搭的移动帐幕。）

• 为什么它重要？（因为它是神的居所，因此是群体敬拜的中心。）

随着我们学习出埃及记，我们已经看到神在旷野中总是与祂的百姓同在。在今天的课程里，我们要学习神的同在是如何以非常实际的方式被显明出来的。

深入学习(30分钟)

读 出埃及记 25:10-22，希伯来书 9:1-7

在这里我们认识到 约柜（第10-16节）和 施恩座（第17-22节）。虽然它们只是会幕的一部分，但施恩座和约柜对神的百姓都有极大的意义。让我们更仔细地看这两个部分。

讨论问题：

1. 约柜位于会幕的哪里？（至圣所，也叫“圣中之圣”。）

2. 为什么这很重要？（只有祭司才能进入至圣所，而且一年只有一次。〔见希伯来书 9:7〕）

3. 约柜里装着什么？（盛吗哪的金罐、亚伦的杖、和十诫的法版。）

4. 约柜该如何搬运？（必须用环和杠抬着搬运。）

5. 为什么约柜要如此恭敬地搬运？（因为它是圣的。）

约柜——后来也叫“法柜”——是圣的。它圣到一个地步，人类不能触摸它。

读 撒母耳记下 6:3-7

在撒母耳记下里，约柜被放在一辆已经按礼仪洁净过的车上搬运，但请记住，神命令必须用杠和环来抬。在第5节里，“在耶和华面前”显示耶和华同在。乌撒为了防止约柜掉下去而伸手去扶，但他和同行的人错了，因为他们用车搬运，而不是照神吩咐的方式。

约柜是极圣的，理当如此对待。

接下来，我们来看看 施恩座。

读 出埃及记 25:19-22

讨论问题：

1. 施恩座在哪里？（约柜的盖子就是施恩座。）

2. 施恩座上有什么？（两个金基路伯。）

3. 他们的脸朝向哪里？（朝向施恩座。）

4. 以色列人现在正在为神建造这个居所/宝座，这意味着什么？（神守约，祂与他们同在。）

5. 耶和华说祂在哪里？（祂在施恩座之上，两基路伯之间。）

6. 以色列人看到神以这种固定、可见的方式同在时会是什么感受？（必定充满信心、盼望和安慰。）

如前所述，祭司可以进入圣所，但只有大祭司一年一次在赎罪日，带着无瑕疵的公牛或山羊的血，进入至圣所向神献祭。圣所和至圣所之间有一层幔子隔开。

应用(20分钟)

读 希伯来书 9:11-28

讨论问题：

1. 这段经文对我们意味着什么？（基督是大祭司，我们借祂得着永远的救赎。）

2. 既然耶稣是大祭司，“帐幕”现在怎样了？为什么？（它得以成全，因为它原本就是天上事物的影子。）

3. 耶稣是否需要不断进入至圣所并反复献祭？为什么或为什么不？（不需要。祂一次出现，一次献祭，足够一次赦免，因为祂是完全的。帐幕只是预表。耶稣是完美的成全。）

4. 耶稣的献祭说明了什么？（神的同在在我们中间。我们不需要献血祭才能进入神的同在，也不需要成为大祭司——耶稣已经替我们完成。）

5. 知道神与我们同在，这对你有什么影响？（像以色列一样，这是安慰、激励、提醒。）

6. 这会改变你凭信心生活的方式吗？（应该使我们有信心。）

7. 这会改变你活出信仰的方式吗？（应该使我们更有勇气。）

   
   

读 出埃及记 25:8

这是我希望你们背诵的一节经文。让我们两人一组，用几分钟背出出埃及记 25:8。记住这节经文，在这一周里知道：神坐在祂的宝座——施恩座（赎罪盖）上，祂住在我们中间。

结束祷告(2分钟)

请学生和他们的同伴一起祷告，求神继续在他们的生命中同在，帮助他们大胆地活出信仰。

Exodus: After the Red Sea Is Parted

Lesson 5: The Mercy Seat

LESSON OBJECTIVES

Goals

1. To inform students of the overview of the book of Exodus

2. To discover the purpose of the mercy seat in the Old Testament Tabernacle

3. To teach students that God is still enthroned on the mercy seat

Topics

Character of God, Fearing God, Holiness, Honor God, Mercy

Scripture Memorization

Exodus 25:8

OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)

GROUP BUILDING (10 minutes)

Today, we’re going to talk about the Mercy Seat and the Ark of the Covenant. In scripture, these are sometimes referred to as God’s seat and His footstool. As a fun way of introducing this, we are going to play a game called Kick Back & Relax.

• Split your group into teams of at least three.

• Assign each person a job. They are either a chair, a footstool, or a relaxer.

• If you have uneven groups of 4 or more, the chair can be two people wide or so can the footstool.

• Like in musical chairs, have the group wander around the room while music plays.

• At some point, stop the music and say, “Kick Back and Relax!”

• Wherever they are in the room, the groups get together as quickly as possible and form a chair (getting down on all fours), a footstool (getting down on all fours) and then kicking back to relax (sitting on the chair with their feet up on the footstool)

• No part of the relaxer’s body can be touching the ground

• The goal is to stay in the position for the longest amount of time.

• Caution kids to be careful so no one gets hurt. Kids will eventually collapse, fall, or give up. The last group standing—or sitting—is your winner!

GETTING STARTED (5 minutes)

General Discussion:

• Do you know what the Tabernacle was? (The dwelling place of God in the OT, a mobile tent that the Israelites set up wherever they were.)

• Why was it important? (It was the dwelling place of God, and therefore the center of worship among the community.)

As we’ve been studying Exodus, we’ve learned that God was always present with His people in the wilderness. In today’s lesson, we will learn how God’s presence was displayed in a very physical way.

DIGGING IN (30 minutes)

Read Exodus 25:10-22, Hebrews 9:1-7

Here we are introduced to the Ark of the Covenant verses 10-16) and the Mercy Seat (verses 17-22). Though they are only parts of the Tabernacle, both the Mercy Seat and the Ark of the Covenant hold great significance for God’s people. Let’s look more closely at these two parts of the Tabernacle.

Discussion Questions:

1. Where was the Ark of Covenant located within the Tabernacle? (The Most Holy Place also known as the Holy of Holies.)

2. Why is this significant? (Only priests could access the Most Holy Place and then only once per year. [See Hebrews 9:7])

3. What does the Ark hold? (Gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff, and the tablets containing the Ten Commandments.)

4. How should the Ark be transported? (It should be carried using a system of rings and poles.)

5. Why is the Ark to be transported so reverently? (It is holy.)

The Ark of the Covenant—later called the Ark of the Testimony—is holy. It is so holy, in fact, that humans cannot touch it.

Read 2 Samuel 6:3-7

In 2 Samuel, the Ark is transported on a cart that has been ritually cleaned, but remember, God commanded that it be carried by a system of poles and rings. In verse 5, the phrase “before the Lord,” shows us that the Lord was present. Uzzah touches the Ark to prevent it from falling, but he and those with him were wrong to transport it by cart instead of the way God commanded.

The Ark is very holy and should have been treated accordingly.

Next, let’s take a look at the Mercy Seat.

Read Exodus 25:19-22

Discussion Questions:

1. Where is the Mercy Seat? (The lid on top of the ark is known as the Mercy Seat.)

2. What is on the Mercy Seat? (Two golden cherubim.)

3. Where are their faces looking? (Toward the Mercy Seat.)

4. What does it mean for the people of Israel now that they are building this home/throne for God? (God is keeping His promises. He is with them.)

5. Where does the Lord say that He is? (He is above the Mercy Seat between the two cherubim.)

6. What would it feel like for Israel to see God’s presence with them in this permanent, physical way? (It must’ve given them great confidence, hope, and comfort.)

As mentioned earlier, priests entered into the Holy Place, but only high priests could enter the Most Holy Place once per year on the Day of Atonement by offering a sacrifice to God in the Holy Place; the sacrifice was the blood of a goat or calf that was without blemish. Between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place there was a veil to create separation.

 

MAKING IT REAL (20 minutes)

Read Hebrews 9:11-28

Discussion Questions:

1. What does this passage mean for us? (Christ is the high priest and we have eternal redemption through Him.)

2. What happens to the ‘tent’ or the tabernacle now that Jesus is the high priest? Why? (It is perfected, because it is a reflection of heavenly things.)

3. Does Jesus have to keep entering in the Most Holy Place and offer up a sacrifice? Why not or why not? (He appeared once and for all, sacrificed once and for all, and is sufficient for forgiveness once and for all because He is perfect. The tabernacle was just a shadow of things to come. Jesus is perfect fulfillment of all those things.)

4. Of what does the sacrifice of Jesus portray? (The presence of God among us. We don’t need to make a blood sacrifice to be in the presence of God, nor do we need to be a high priest—Jesus bridged that gap for us.)

5. How does it impact you to know that God is with you? (Like Israel, it is comforting, inspiring, convicting, etc.)

6. Does it change the way you will live your life with faith? (It should give us confidence.)

7. Will it change the way you live out your faith? (It should empower us with boldness.)

Read Exodus 25:8

This is a verse I want you to memorize this verse. Let’s pair up and spend a few minutes learning Exodus 25:8 together. Remember this verse as you go through this week, knowing that God sits on His throne, the mercy seat (atonement cover) and that He dwells in our midst.

CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes)

Have students pray with their partners that that God continues to be present in their lives helping them to live boldly in their faith.
