1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,599
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much, because yesterday's

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:10,480
food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:15,039
some of us expect yesterday's portion of
heavenly manna, the word of God to

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,879
keep us through today's challenges. On
this program, we are going to change

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,039
all of that. Let's experience God's
words today and receive the power we need

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,839
to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,240
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, good morning, good

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,840

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,799
twenty twenty four. Hello, my
name is El David Harris. I am

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,359
your host, and this is your

11
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:50,159
every single day, and today is
no exception. We are continuing in our

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Lesson Studies series the Great Controversy,
and our caption for today is a broken

13
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:02,520
hearted Savior. A broken hearted Savior. We'll get into that in just a

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,239
moment, but first I'd like to
say welcome to you and ask you too,

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,680
please go over to your Daily Portion
dot com, please join our online

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,400
community, pick up your Daily Portion
book, and let us know also where

17
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:18,519
you are in the world at your

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,280
way that we continue to build faith
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray,

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,840
and then we will get underway.
Father and Heaven, thank you for

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,519
giving us this new day and for
the privilege we have this Sunday morning to

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,879
open up your word again and to
begin a new work week. I pray

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,000
God that you will give us your
understanding, teach us how to love you,

23
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,879
and to make your heart glad.
In Jesus' name, I pray Amen

24
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:49,200
and Amen again a brokenhearted savior.
Now I know there is something very interesting

25
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:53,719
that happened when Jesus was baptized on
planet Earth. Can I just talk about

26
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:59,680
this for a moment. When Jesus
was he was in his thirties, right

27
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,799
in his thirties. He's he's coming
into his thirties. Now he is about

28
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,520
to be baptized. And of course
he goes into this Jordan river. John

29
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,879
the Baptist is going to baptize him. And then we hear a voice from

30
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,560
heaven saying, this is my beloved
son in whom I am well pleased.

31
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:23,240
That is the voice of the Father, Us God, the Father. And

32
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,000
then we see that there is there
is an image. There is something in

33
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:36,599
bodily form as a dove that is
coming to light on him. And that

34
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,439
is the Holy Spirit now coming into
his life in a special way at the

35
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:46,960
beginning of his public ministry. Okay. And so now the Father is in

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,520
heaven. The Holy Ghost, God, the Holy Ghost is is now descending

37
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,360
upon Jesus and filling his life in
a new and special way. And Jesus,

38
00:02:55,439 --> 00:03:00,000
God the Son and the Son of
God, who I wish I had

39
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,400
the time, he is now in
the Jordan River, and he is being

40
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:09,759
baptized, as the Bible says,
Jesus said, to fulfill all righteousness.

41
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:19,120
Okay. And so now we see
that God, our Father is pleased.

42
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:27,360
What pleases God the Father in this
scenario, Bible says, my beloved son,

43
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:31,479
in whom I am well pleased.
And so we see the pleasure,

44
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:38,800
absolute pleasure of God in Jesus.
Because Jesus is he comes from God the

45
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:45,400
Father. Right in this context,
he is holy. He is yielding his

46
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,560
will so that the will of the
Father is revealed on planet Earth. He

47
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:57,039
is a representative, the representative of
the character of God, you understand.

48
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:00,000
And so we see that he is
satisfied. Now, let me ask you

49
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:05,280
a question, because remember the caption
for today is a broken hearted savior.

50
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:09,479
Now let's go to Jesus Christ,
who is one with the Father. He

51
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,280
has already accomplished all that he was
supposed to in his earthly ministry. And

52
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:18,399
now, of course he's back in
heaven, that is his throne. As

53
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:28,480
the Bible teaches us, what satisfies
the heart of Jesus Christ? What satisfies

54
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,720
the heart of Jesus Christ. Okay, the satisfaction of Jesus Christ is when

55
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,399
people live like Jesus lived. When
we surrender our will, just in the

56
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:43,199
same way that Jesus surrendered his will
to the Father, we surrender our will

57
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,560
to God. This pleases Jesus.
And by the way, in the Book

58
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,879
of Isaiah, chapter fifty three,
it says, at a certain point in

59
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,720
time, the Savior, the Messiah, will see what the Bible calls travail

60
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:00,399
of his soul, and he will
be satis. He will see all of

61
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:05,439
the trials that he went through,
the tribulations, the pain of coming into

62
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,759
human flesh through Mary, yes,
and living, having to eat, having

63
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,839
to sleep like other human beings,
right, having to rest, having to

64
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,040
battle with his mind? Where is
he going to be discouraged? Is he

65
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,560
going to be sad? What happens
when things happen to him that are in

66
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:30,600
justice? What will he do?
So he has to go through all of

67
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,360
those things, and he did so, Thank God, he did so successfully.

68
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,920
Yes, he won in that battle
and the war over temptation to sin,

69
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:46,199
he won, so that you can
win. Yes, okay. So

70
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,720
when he sees that he did all
of that, and human beings surrender our

71
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:59,199
will to him and ultimately are saved, that is satisfying to him. When

72
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:01,959
we yield our will to him,
and he sees that what he did for

73
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,839
us was not in vain, that
satisfies the heart of God. And so

74
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,480
I have to ask the question,
now, well, what breaks the heart

75
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:17,120
of God? I think you already
know where I'm going. So whatever is

76
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,839
breaking the whatever breaks the heart of
God, whatever breaks Ah the Savior's heart

77
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,240
is what we're looking at today.
And we want to upside write this.

78
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,079
We want to about turn about face
this situation in our lives when we are

79
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:38,519
dissatisfying God because of our our disdain
sometimes for His blessings in our lives,

80
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,360
Ah, our disrespect for all that
he did for us so that he could

81
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:47,079
save us. It breaks his heart. And so now we have an opportunity,

82
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,959
all of us, especially the people
of God, the people of God

83
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:54,120
who are supposed to know better.
This is our context today, the people

84
00:06:54,199 --> 00:07:00,199
of God who are supposed to know
better. Sometimes we break his heart.

85
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360
And as the lesson writer now speaks, as Jesus sat on the mount of

86
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:10,639
Olives overlooking the city of Jerusalem,
his heart is broken. John his Gospel

87
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,000
says he came to his own and
his own didn't even receive him. The

88
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,160
people who were supposed to embrace him
and become his voice in the earth,

89
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:26,399
so few of them actually received him. Jesus did everything, according to the

90
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:32,160
Lesson Writer, he could to save
his people from the coming destruction of their

91
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,839
beloved city. Jesus's love for his
people flowed from a heart of infinite love.

92
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:45,199
He repeatedly appealed to them in love
to repent and accept his gracious invitation

93
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:49,160
of mercy. And so in the
same way that Lucifer who became the devil,

94
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,399
and all of those angels, those
that one third of the angels of

95
00:07:54,439 --> 00:08:01,680
heaven, who also went his way
on that evil political bus, that wicked

96
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:07,600
bus that Satan was driving toward destruction
in the same way that those who should

97
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,360
have known, who did know better, who dwelt in the presence of God,

98
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:16,240
the people of God, some of
the people of God in air quotes,

99
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:20,079
who lived on planet Earth when Jesus
came, rejected Jesus in the same

100
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:26,040
way that the devil rejected him.
They rejected Jesus in the same way that

101
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:30,920
the Devil's evil angels rejected Jesus.
And so now Jesus is weeping. And

102
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:37,519
according to the Book of Luke,
chapter nineteen, beginning at verse forty one,

103
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,440
the Bible reads, and when he
was come near, he beheld the

104
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,399
city, and he wept over it, saying, if thou had known,

105
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,960
even thou, at least in this
day, the things which belong unto thy

106
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,639
peace, But now they are hid
from thine eyes. I had so much

107
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,360
for you, Jesus is saying,
so much love in my heart. Yes,

108
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,159
so many plans for you to be
one with me, and to change

109
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,840
the world and ultimately usher in the
kingdom of glory. Yes, verse forty

110
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:11,000
three, for the days shall come
upon thee, and thine enemy shall cast

111
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,559
a trench about thee and come past
the round, and keep THEE on every

112
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:20,480
side, and shall lay THEE even
to the ground, and thy children within

113
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,159
THEE, and they shall not leave
in the one stone upon another, because

114
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,759
thou knewest not the time of thy
visitation. And so really and truly I

115
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:37,320
don't want only to lament what happened
there, but to correct. Like for

116
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,360
us, we don't have to cause
God to weep, just surrender our will

117
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,320
to him and please the heart of
God. Thanks for joining us listening.

118
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,159
Friends, Always remember we cannot live
by bread alone, but by every word

119
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,320
that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with

120
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:00,279
el David Harris. Make it a
great day. Yeah,
