希伯来文Strong’s 编号 H1118 – 割礼之子

历代志上 11:18-19
“这三个勇士就闯过非利士人的营盘，从伯利恒城门旁的井里打水，拿来奉给大卫。他却不肯喝，将水奠在耶和华面前， 说：‘我的神啊，这三个人冒死去打水，这水好像他们的血一般，我断不敢喝！’如此，大卫不肯喝。这是三个勇士所作的事。”

祷告行走默想领受：割礼、献祭与敬拜

大卫的三位勇士从伯利恒取水献给大卫的故事，深刻地体现了割礼的属灵意义——它象征着奉献、牺牲和转化，是神立约的记号。

1. 三位勇士——“割礼之子”

在旧约中，割礼是神立约的记号，表明人归属于神，并被分别为圣。这三位勇士的行动展现了这份约的本质：
• 全然奉献： 他们完全忠于大卫王，并愿意为使命献身。
• 牺牲之爱： 他们冒死从伯利恒取水，表明他们愿意为圣洁的事物付上生命的代价。
• 忠诚与信实： 他们的行动反映了真正属于神的子民应有的献身精神。

在新约中，使徒保罗指出，真正的割礼不在乎外表，而在于内心（罗马书 2:29）。这三位勇士不仅仅是肉体上的勇士，他们的心灵也经历了转化，愿意为更高的目的牺牲自己。

2. 大卫的回应：将水作为祭物献上

当大卫接过这水时，他没有喝，而是将水浇奠在耶和华面前，因为他认识到这水承载着勇士们的生命代价。这一举动象征着：
• 完全降服于神： 大卫承认，这份牺牲太神圣了，不属于他个人，而是应当归给神。
• 真正的敬拜： 就如割礼标志着与世俗分别为圣，大卫的行动表明他愿意超越个人欲望，将一切归荣耀给神。
• 预表基督的最终献祭： 大卫倾倒水的举动，预示着耶稣——这位真正的君王，后来将亲自倾流宝血，作为终极的赎罪祭。

⸻

3. 属灵应用：活出真正的“割礼之子”身份

保罗在 腓立比书 3:3 说： “因为真受割礼的，乃是我们这以神的灵敬拜，在基督耶稣里夸口，不靠着肉体的。”
• 如同大卫的勇士，我们蒙召要对神有极致的献身精神。
• 如同大卫，我们必须承认，真正的献祭应当完全归给神。
• 作为属灵的“割礼之子”，我们要活出圣洁，将生命献上当作活祭（罗马书 12:1）。

⸻

结论：一个象征性的顺服与敬拜行动

大卫的勇士们冒死取水献上，但大卫认出他们的行动是圣洁的，因此将之归给神。同样地，割礼的意义正是将生命完全归向神。

因此，作为在基督里真正受割礼的人，我们要：
• 活出舍己的生命，
• 全然奉献于神，
• 将自己当作敬拜的祭物献上。

在武吉知马山顶倾倒利宾纳，象征着一个预言性的行动——宣告我们的降服、奉献，并承认一切真正的献祭都属于神。

Scripture to Declare: 1 Chronicles 11:18-19 at 11:18 AM
Hebrew Strong’s H1118 – Sons of Circumcision

1 Chronicles 11:18-19
“So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem, and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the Lord. ‘Far be it from me, my God, to do this!’ he said. ‘Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?’ Because they risked their lives to bring it, David would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.”

Prayer Walk Reflection: Circumcision, Sacrifice, and Worship

The story of David’s three mighty men bringing water from Bethlehem carries a deep spiritual meaning connected to circumcision—a sign of dedication, sacrifice, and transformation in God’s covenant.

1. The Three Mighty Men as “Sons of Circumcision”

In the Old Testament, circumcision marked those set apart for God’s covenant. These three warriors embodied this calling through their actions:
• Total Devotion: They were fully committed to their king, David, and their mission.
• Sacrificial Love: They risked their lives to bring water from Bethlehem, showing their willingness to give everything for something sacred.
• Loyalty and Faithfulness: Their actions reflected the heart of those who truly belong to God.

In the New Testament, Paul teaches that true circumcision is not external but of the heart (Romans 2:29). These mighty men exemplified spiritual circumcision—hearts transformed and willing to sacrifice for a greater purpose.

⸻

2. David’s Response: Pouring Out the Water as an Offering

Upon receiving the water, David poured it out before the Lord, recognizing the sacrifice behind it. This act represents:
• Surrendering All to God: David acknowledged that their offering was too sacred for him—it belonged to the Lord.
• True Worship: Just as circumcision signified separation from the world, David’s act demonstrated a heart set apart for God.
• Foreshadowing Christ’s Ultimate Sacrifice: David’s pouring out of water prophetically points to Jesus, the true King, who later poured out His own blood as the ultimate offering for us.

⸻

3. Our Spiritual Application: Living as the True Circumcision

Paul declares in Philippians 3:3, “For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.”
• Like David’s mighty men, we are called to radical devotion to God.
• Like David, we must recognize that all true sacrifice belongs to the Lord.
• As spiritual “sons of circumcision,” we are called to live in holiness and offer our lives as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1).

⸻

Conclusion: A Prophetic Act of Surrender and Worship

David’s mighty men risked their lives to bring him water, but David redirected their sacrifice to God—just as circumcision redirects one’s life fully to the Lord.

In the same way, we, as the true circumcision in Christ, must:
• Live sacrificially,
• Be wholly devoted to God,
• Offer our lives as an act of worship.

Pouring Ribena at Bukit Timah Summit serves as a prophetic act—declaring surrender, devotion, and the recognition that all true sacrifice belongs to the Lord.
