Rabbi Schneider: 本集节目探讨了在罗马统治下,以色列人民对弥赛亚的期盼以及他们坚定的信仰。节目深入分析了撒迦利亚和伊丽莎白的故事,他们作为虔诚的夫妇,在侍奉上帝中找到了慰藉,尽管他们没有孩子。他们的故事象征着旧约与新约之间的过渡,预示着耶稣的到来。撒迦利亚在圣殿中与天使加百列相遇,被告知他的妻子伊丽莎白将生下一个儿子——施洗约翰,这预示着新约的开始。施洗约翰作为耶稣的先驱,为耶稣的到来预备人们的心。撒迦利亚的故事是圣殿仪式的最后一个圣经记载,标志着基督新时代的到来。伊丽莎白的不能生育象征着当时以色列的无生气状态,而上帝的作为象征着上帝赋予我们新的生命。约翰的奇迹般的受孕也为另一个奇迹般的受孕做好了准备,即马利亚怀孕。 Rabbi Schneider: 节目中,Rabbi Schneider 通过对撒迦利亚和伊丽莎白故事的解读,阐述了旧约与新约之间的联系。他指出,撒迦利亚作为旧约的祭司,代表着旧约的律法和上帝与以色列的关系;而伊丽莎白代表着旧约子民对救世主的渴望。他们的故事象征着旧约的结束和新约的开始,预示着耶稣的到来。施洗约翰的诞生是上帝恩典的体现,他将为耶稣的到来预备道路。同时,Rabbi Schneider 也强调了耶稣作为我们的祭司,通过他的牺牲,使我们可以大胆地来到上帝面前。伊丽莎白的不能生育象征着以色列人民在漫长的等待中对救世主的希望逐渐消逝,而上帝的作为则象征着上帝赋予我们新的生命,充满希望。
