【回饋問題】
Feedback Questions

(1)   希伯來書作者曾經花了許多篇幅來強調『進入幔內』的偉大救恩,在他結束全書時卻又提出了『出到營外』的重要,為什麼?如何才能將『進入幔內,出到營外』具体的落實在我們日常的生活事奉中?
The author of Hebrews stressed the great salvation of “entering behind the curtain” in great length, but then he brought up the importance of “going outside the camp” at the end of the book. Why? How to realize “entering behind the curtain, and going outside the camp” in our daily lives and services?

(2)   試將自己當作是希伯來書唯一的受信人,請根据作者最後的叮嚀中至少選一項你個人最受到提醒的點來與組員分享你的心得。有什麼具体的回應行動嗎?
Imagine you are the only recipient of the book of Hebrews. Please choose an item from the last exhortation of the author that calls for your attention the most, and share your experience with your small group members. Do you have any actions in response?
