    圣经背景:(8)献人祭

    這些事以後, 神要試驗亞伯拉罕,就呼叫他說:亞伯拉罕!他說:我在這裡。神說:你帶著你的兒子,就是你獨生的兒子,你所愛的以撒,往摩利亞地去,在我所要指示你的山上,把他獻為燔祭。亞伯拉罕清早起來,備上驢,帶著兩個僕人和他兒子以撒,也劈好了燔祭的柴,就起身往 神所指示他的地方去了。”(创22:1-3)
     
     
         很多人不能理解甚至不能谅解经文中有关把人当作活祭物的行为,其实在古代社会中把人当作活的祭物是被允许的、是很普遍的行为。而,把长子献祭尤其宝贵。
     
         亚伯拉罕在这里所表现的态度是无论如何都遵守上帝的吩咐,这也是上帝对亚伯拉罕的考验,且是最后一次的考验。真正尊敬上帝的人可以为了上帝献出生命,亚伯拉罕通过了上帝的考验,他已经达到那种境界!
     
         值得一提是,犹太人被认为是第一个废除把人当作活供品的民族。
