W1 2013-11-04以賽亞書1
1:2 天哪，要聽！地啊，側耳而聽！因為耶和華說：我養育兒女，將他們養大，他們竟悖逆我。
1:3 牛認識主人，驢認識主人的槽，以色列卻不認識；我的民卻不留意。
1:4 嗐！犯罪的國民，擔著罪孽的百姓；行惡的種類，敗壞的兒女！他們離棄耶和華，藐視以色列的聖者，與他生疏，往後退步。
1:5 你們為甚麼屢次悖逆，還要受責打嗎？你們已經滿頭疼痛，全心發昏。
1:6 從腳掌到頭頂，沒有一處完全的，盡是傷口、青腫，與新打的傷痕，都沒有收口，沒有纏裹，也沒有用膏滋潤。
1:7 你們的地土已經荒涼；你們的城邑被火焚毀。你們的田地在你們眼前為外邦人所侵吞，既被外邦人傾覆就成為荒涼。
1:8 僅存錫安城（原文是女子），好像葡萄園的草棚，瓜田的茅屋，被圍困的城邑。
1:9 若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們稍留餘種，我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。
1:10 你們這所多瑪的官長啊，要聽耶和華的話！你們這蛾摩拉的百姓啊，要側耳聽我們 神的訓誨！
1:11 耶和華說：你們所獻的許多祭物與我何益呢？公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油，我已經夠了；公牛的血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血，我都不喜悅。
1:12 你們來朝見我，誰向你們討這些，使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？
1:13 你們不要再獻虛浮的供物。香品是我所憎惡的；月朔和安息日，並宣召的大會，也是我所憎惡的；作罪孽，又守嚴肅會，我也不能容忍。
1:14 你們的月朔和節期，我心裡恨惡，我都以為麻煩；我擔當，便不耐煩。
1:15 你們舉手禱告，我必遮眼不看；就是你們多多地祈禱，我也不聽。你們的手都滿了殺人的血。
1:16 你們要洗濯、自潔，從我眼前除掉你們的惡行，要止住作惡，
1:17 學習行善，尋求公平，解救受欺壓的；給孤兒伸冤，為寡婦辨屈。
1:18 耶和華說：你們來，我們彼此辯論。你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白；雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。
1:19 你們若甘心聽從，必吃地上的美物，
1:20 若不聽從，反倒悖逆，必被刀劍吞滅。這是耶和華親口說的。
默想: 以色列人以為只要他們要有定期的獻祭、守節期，完成一切宗教儀式、做好形式上的要求，就可以滿足上帝。但是上帝要求的不是一個人在宗教儀式的上完全，更重要的是生命本質的改變。
所以以色列人雖然獻祭，守節期但是沒有改變生命，上帝不會喜悅。上帝指責他們是殺人、充滿惡行、欺壓弱勢與好孤兒寡婦，只關心自己的私利。這種自私自利的生命沒有改變再怎麼獻祭都是沒有用的。
用今天的話來講，我們敬拜、我們服侍、我們奉獻都不能取代生命的改變，我們不是因為盡了宗教上的形式就能取得上帝的喜悅，而是我們的生命是否活出上帝創造我們的目的。若我們不能為榮耀上帝而活，不能活出愛人如己，那我們在宗教上做了多少，其實都是不夠的。
題目: 根據本章經文，耶和華為何不喜悅以色列人的獻祭呢？
