1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,919
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much because yesterday's food

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,720
is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,640
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna the word of God to keep us

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,239
through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,399
that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,359
healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to
Your Daily Portion with your host, author

00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:51,119
We are continuing in our new lesson
study series through the Book of Mark.

12
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:58,039
Our caption for today is the Gospel
according to Jesus, The Gospel according to

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Jesus. We'll get into that and
just the moment, but first I'd like

14
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,400
to say welcome to you and ask
you to please go over to your Daily

15

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,840
Father and Heaven. Thank you for

20
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:30,719
to pray and to do your will. Father, Please help us to hear

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:37,599
the Gospel according to Jesus today and
live according to your principles. Help us

22
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,799
to be freed, delivered today,
independent from sin. Today in Jesus name,

23
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,840
I pray, Amen and Amen again
the Gospel according to Jesus. I

24
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:53,519
wonder what it would be like how
to sit there and listen to Jesus' teach.

25
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,719
What would it be like to sit
there or stand as the case may

26
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,920
be, and listen to Jesus actually
teach. There are so many great preachers

27
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:10,199
that we would have heard over the
years, over the millennia even, and

28
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:19,039
so many things have been recorded against
their names as mighty feats and miracles based

29
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,520
on the Gospel that they would have
preached. But what would have been like

30
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:28,599
to hear Jesus actually preach. If
you saw him, you wouldn't really notice

31
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,560
that he was anything special, just
looking at him walking on the streets of

32
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:35,879
Galilee, like you wouldn't even notice, except maybe that there would be some

33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
followers with him. You're like,
well, who is that? But then

34
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:43,960
when you see what he did,
when you experienced his presence, when you

35
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:50,319
heard him preach the words of righteousness, then it starts to click that this

36
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,960
is no ordinary man, but this
is someone hyper super special. And of

37
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,400
course now we know the anointed One, the Messiah, the one who comes

38
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,840
from the bus of God, so
we can be saved. Yes, And

39
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,879
so we read now in the Book
of Mark, the Book of Mark,

40
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:14,360
chapter one, beginning at verse fourteen. Now after John was put in prison,

41
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,159
so John really had done what he
needed to do in order to prepare

42
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:23,319
the way for Jesus Christ to come
in and begin to lead people to holiness.

43
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:27,879
John did his part. He prepared
the way, and now he's being

44
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,919
moved off the scene. Unfortunately,
what a terrible way to go off the

45
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,319
scene, but he did. He
did it. Then, the Bible says,

46
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,120
after he was put in prison,
Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Gospel

47
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,840
of the Kingdom. And so he
said, the time is fulfilled. I

48
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:46,439
want you to keep that in your
mind. And the Kingdom of God is

49
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:52,759
at hand. Okay, and repent, ye and believe the gospel. So

50
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,080
God is showing us that the Kingdom
of God is right here within us.

51
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,360
He said at the time, Yes, we're looking for God's God's Kingdom to

52
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,240
come. God's will to be done
on earth, that is in the lives

53
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,919
of people as it is in heaven. This is what God wants for us.

54
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:15,520
This is what we should want from
God. And then it says,

55
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:23,120
repent and believe the gospel. Receive
from God as a gift, godly sorrow

56
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,000
for sin and a turning away.
Turn the shoulder, walk away from those

57
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,160
sins that have held you back for
so many years, those things that you've

58
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:36,519
been guilty about. You promised yourself
and God that you wouldn't go down on

59
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,040
that path again. You wouldn't destroy
your relationships in the way that you have

60
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:47,160
God forbid. You would not have
been addicted to these different substances and do

61
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,360
other things that are just not pleasing
in God's sight. You would have been

62
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,160
kinder, you would have been a
better parent, and so many other things.

63
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:58,800
And God is saying you can turn
away from all of that and more.

64
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,720
You can believe the gospel. Okay, good, So the lesson writer

65
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,240
says that there are three parts to
the gospel here, and we'll just say

66
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,399
the same thing again a different way. Number one time prophecy, and he

67
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,720
said, Jesus said, the time
is fulfilled. And so we'll go into

68
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:20,560
Daniel nine in just a moment to
give a little bit of context. And

69
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,480
then number two covenant promise. So
he made a promise way back when,

70
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:31,319
and that promise is being fulfilled that
the Kingdom of God is near. We're

71
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:38,120
looking forward to the day that we
will enter the heavenly promised land. Those

72
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,879
who are baptized into Christ. The
Bible says, I should have said this

73
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
yesterday are Abraham's seed and heirs according
to the promise. So God promised to

74
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:54,240
Abraham that his people would inhabit the
earthly Canaan, and then he would have

75
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,680
descendants or promised land descendants numberless like
the sand grain at the seashore, the

76
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:08,480
skies, stars, starry hosts,
like the numberless multitude of people who would

77
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,720
believe and come into a right relationship
with God would come through the kind of

78
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,240
faith that Abraham had. Okay,
so we have that the Kingdom of God

79
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,199
is at hand, and this is
becoming of real fulfillment in front of the

80
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,959
people, and the call to discipleship
to be like Jesus and to lead others

81
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,360
into a right relationship with God.
What is the call repent, turn away

82
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,160
from your sins, receive the godly
sorrow that I can show you, and

83
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,680
turn away from your sins and believe
the gospel that will manifest itself and the

84
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,439
way you live. Okay, that's
the simplicity of it. We thank God.

85
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,319
Okay. And so the time prophecy
part is in the Book of Daniel,

86
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:50,839
chapter nine. So much is said
there. I won't read it,

87
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,240
but I want you to hear what
is being spoken of, right, And

88
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:04,959
so the Bible writer says that from
the from the command to rebuild Jerusalem until

89
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:11,319
Messiah the Prince would be a certain
period of time. So I'm going to

90
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:13,920
just hurry up and tell you what
it is. And you can study the

91
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,519
seventy weeks Prophecy from amazingfacts dot Com
when you have an opportunity. So from

92
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:25,560
four hundred and fifty seven BC,
that is when our Deserxees gave that final

93
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,600
stamp of approval for God's people to
rebuild Jerusalem and to rebuild the temple that

94
00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:40,079
they needed to rebuild from four to
fifty seven until four hundred and eighty three

95
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:46,199
literal years later, we see symbolic
language about a day for a year in

96
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,399
symbolic Bible prophecy. A day equals
a year in symbolic Bible prophecy according to

97
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,000
numbers fourteen thirty four and as we
four to six and other places, and

98
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:03,040
so four hundred and fifty seven to
twenty seven a D. Four fifty seven

99
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:09,600
BC to four fifty to twenty seven
a D is four hundred and eighty three

100
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,759
literal years. And that is when
Jesus appears as a fulfillment of this prophecy.

101
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,000
As a fulfillment of this prophecy,
Jesus shows up as Messiah the Prince

102
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,160
according to the language of Daniel,
meaning the one who has anointed, the

103
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:33,320
anointed one. Jesus is literally anointed
by the Holy Ghost in the Jordan River

104
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,080
when he is going through his baptism
experience. Yes, and that was a

105
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:45,840
fulfillment. Now the world sees Messiah
the Christ, the anointed One, for

106
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,720
the first time in that way.
Yes, he was thirty years of age.

107
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,799
But now we see him in his
public ministry in a way as a

108
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,399
fulfillment of the prophecy. And the
thing that I love about this prophecy,

109
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:03,000
this gospel according to Jesus, going
back to Daniel, is that Daniel also

110
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:09,080
was given a prediction by God.
He was given a prediction that three and

111
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:16,159
a half actual, specific literal years
later Jesus would be cut off. He

112
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,120
would be cut off not for himself, but for the people. Three and

113
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:26,159
a half years later, Jesus would
give his life so that we can live

114
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:31,320
eternally. Jesus would fulfill his mission
on earth, at least so he could

115
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,360
say it is finished, in order
to save us from our sins. The

116
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:39,799
gospel according to Jesus was tactical,
but it was also practical, and we'll

117
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,399
read and study more about it in
the coming days. Peace. Thanks for

118
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,759
joining us listening. Friends. Always
remember we cannot live by bread alone,

119
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,120
but by every word that comes from
the mouth of God. This has been

120
00:09:54,159 --> 00:10:00,279
your daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
