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 --> 00:00:15,400
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna, the word of God to keep

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,120
us through today's challenges. On this
program, we are going to change all

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,160
of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,839
live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome
to Your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:35,079
author speaker Elle David Harris. Good
morning, Good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,039
It is Tuesday, July sixteen,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name

9
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,600
is El David Harris. I am
your host, and this is your Daily

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,439
Portion where we give you God's word
every single day, and today is no

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,960
exception. We are continuing in our
Lesson study series through the Book of Mark,

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,439
and our caption for today is the
Lord of the Sabbath, The Lord

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,960
of the Sabbath. We'll get into
that in just a moment, but first

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,079
I'd like to say welcome, Welcome
to everyone joining us, especially those joining

15
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,480
us for the very first time.
I'm asking you to please go over to

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,519
your Daily Portion dot com. Please
join our online community, pick up your

17
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,560
Daily Portion book and let us know
where you are in the world at your

18
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:21,760
Daily Portion dot com. This is
one of the ways that we continue to

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,280
build faith and fellowship. Let's go
ahead and pray and then get underwaigh.

20
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,400
Father in Heaven, thank you for
this new day, and I thank you

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:37,319
for giving us the opportunity to look
into the true meaning of Sabbath. Father,

22
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,719
I'm asking you to give us understanding, but not just understanding, help

23
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:45,760
us to will and to do of
your good pleasure in Jesus name, I

24
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:51,400
pray, Amen and Amen again.
All right, So the Lord of the

25
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:53,760
Sabbath, the Lord of the Sabbath. I hate to keep saying this,

26
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:59,359
but we were talking about controversial stuff, right, and how people, for

27
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:05,519
whatever and their pride, decided to
try to teach Jesus. Can you imagine

28
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,439
you're trying to teach Jesus, the
author of life, the one who was

29
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:15,599
the author and finisher of our faith, the one who created all of us

30
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:20,159
and created this planet. The Bible
teaches us in John chapter one, Hebrews

31
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,960
chapter one, and in other places
that Jesus is the one through whom this

32
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:30,199
planet was created and all of the
humans. Right, and you want to

33
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:36,960
have an argument and a discussion,
philosophical discussion with Jesus about his word,

34
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:44,319
his law, his truth. The
one whose voice you heard thunder from Mount

35
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,439
Horeb Mount Sinai, as some know, it was Jesus's voice. The one

36
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:57,879
whose finger emblazoned on those sapphire tables
of stone the ten words ominous words,

37
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:02,000
the commandments. Jesus. The one
who said, let there be light,

38
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:06,360
and there was light, Jesus.
The one who said, according to your

39
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280
faith, be it unto you was
Jesus. The one who said, take

40
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,919
up your bed and walk. It
was Jesus, the one who said,

41
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,719
remember the Sabbath day to keep it
holy. Six days shalt thou labor and

42
00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:23,479
do all thy work. But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord

43
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,400
thy God. In it thou shalt
not do any work thou nor thy son,

44
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,000
nor thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maid servant, nor thy

45
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,159
cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates. For in six days

46
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,120
the Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them

47
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:46,759
is, and rested on the seventh
day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath

48
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:52,000
day and hallowed it, made it
holy This is Jesus the same way,

49
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,240
the same one who gave the message
that Jesus, the same one who gave

50
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:01,319
the message that that the Sabbath is
a sign between God and humanity, that

51
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,960
he is the one that doth sanctify
us, that sets us aside for holy

52
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,719
use, The same one is the
one that these dudes want to have an

53
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,199
argument with about the Sabbath. Are
you serious right now? Like? Are

54
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,639
you serious? Well? Yeah,
Sometimes we get so smart that we outsmart

55
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:23,759
ourselves, and we add all kinds
of extra rules and regulations to things that

56
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:27,879
God would have said. And this
is what Jesus was dealing with. In

57
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,600
Mark chapter two. We read beginning
at verse twenty three. And it came

58
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,160
to pass that he went through the
cornfields on the Sabbath day, and his

59
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:42,879
disciples began as they went to pluck
the ears of corn, and the Pharisee

60
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,439
said unto him, behold, why
do they on the Sabbath day do that

61
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,720
which is not lawful? And he
said, unto them, have ye never

62
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:57,399
read what David did when he had
need? When he had need? Did

63
00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:00,560
you hear that God is a compassionate
god? When he had need? What

64
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,720
was the need? And had hungered. God is a compassionate God, and

65
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,920
hungered he and they that were with
him. How he went into the house

66
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,000
of God in the days of Abiathar, the high priest, and did eat

67
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,360
the show bread, which it was
not lawful to eat, but for the

68
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:21,439
priests. And he gave also to
them which were with him, And he

69
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:28,680
said unto them, the Sabbath was
made for man, meaning humans, for

70
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,439
the service of humans, by the
way God created, created the heavens and

71
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,560
the earth, the see and all
that in the z And He rested on

72
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,600
the Sabbath day so that we could
we could rest in God, so that

73
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,199
we could experience God in the fullness, not so that we could have more

74
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,439
rules of burden on the Sabbath.
I have been in religious organizational structures where

75
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,639
it where it was burdensome to serve
God. I have been in situations where

76
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000
people who said that we were purveyors
of truth and tea, teaching God's word

77
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:05,160
and that we cared for the people
made it more burdensome on the people on

78
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:10,600
Sabbath and made it difficult to keep
the Sabbath holy. And we say that

79
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:14,279
the seventh day is the Sabbath,
and we say that as as though nobody

80
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,040
else in the world knows it.
Sometimes and we say the true words that

81
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:20,720
the seventh day is the Sabbath of
the Holy the Lord Die God. And

82
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:25,959
then and then on the Sabbath we
we backbite more. On the Sabbath,

83
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,160
we we lay extra burdens. Sometimes
God's people, I'm talking about I'm not

84
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:35,000
talking about world people. God's people
sometimes lay heavier burdens on the backs of

85
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:42,560
people on the Sabbath and make things
more rigid and painful on the Sabbath.

86
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:46,959
And Jesus was dealing with that when
he said that the Son of Man,

87
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:51,519
he's the one that gave you what
the Sabbath is. So why don't you

88
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:57,439
just listen to like listen to Jesus, Like what the sabbath means is in

89
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,439
Jesus's bosom, like he he's teaching
you the spirituality of the law. He

90
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:12,000
is also verse twenty eight. Therefore, the Son of Man is lord also

91
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,399
of the Sabbath. Let's go to
Mark chapter three, verses one through six.

92
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:18,079
And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man with

93
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,720
a withered hand, and they watched
him whether he would heal him. On

94
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:25,639
the Sabbath day. Wait a minute, what whether he would heal him on

95
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,399
the Sabbath day? When should a
person be healed? Like, when should

96
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:32,000
they be healed? They should be
healed when they need healing. Can I

97
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,600
just say that again? Like this
is the big question, It's the big

98
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:39,399
pink elephant in the room. When
should a person be healed whenever they need

99
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,279
healing? Is it in the middle
of the night and they need healing and

100
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:44,839
God is present to heal and he
heals him in the middle of the night.

101
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,319
Is it early morning or in the
middle of me saying what I'm saying

102
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:53,279
right here at eight minutes after the
hour? Like, is it time to

103
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:57,480
heal people Jesus if somebody needs healing? Yeah? Yeah. Is it Sabbath?

104
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,639
Yes? Is it the beginning of
Sabbath at the moment that you are

105
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,720
opening the Sabbath? Yes? Yes, is the answer. Because God is

106
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,279
a compassionate God. And they watched
to see if he would do it,

107
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:13,040
and they wanted to accuse him verse
three, And He said, unto the

108
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:18,199
man which had a withered hand,
come on stand forth. While they want

109
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,879
to argue, while they want to
have controversy, while they want to make

110
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,279
up all kind of foolish discussion.
Jesus says, stand forth, Come on,

111
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:28,040
come on, stand forth. And
he said, unto them, is

112
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:33,360
it lawful to do good on the
Sabbath days? Or to do evil?

113
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,120
To save or to kill? That
they held their peace. You know why

114
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:43,200
they held their peace because they had
nothing to say. There was no excuse

115
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,120
for them. They were willing to
have an argument about whether to heal a

116
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,759
person, whether to give life to
a person, to restore and deliver a

117
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,440
person, than to actually deliver.
They wanted to hold a meeting about the

118
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,639
work of God, rather than to
do the work of God. I wish

119
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,200
I had the time, And the
Bible says verse five. And when he

120
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,240
had looked around about them with anger, you want you wonder why I'm passionate

121
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:13,360
here. I have a lot of
stories brothers and sisters. He looked round

122
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,080
about them with anger, but being
grieved for the hardness of their hearts.

123
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,320
And he said, unto the man, stretch forth thy hand. And he

124
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:26,639
stretched it out, and his hand
was restored as whole as the other.

125
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,639
And the Pharisees went forth, looks
like they didn't they didn't get anything out

126
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,799
of this. They went forth and
straightway, took counsel with the Herodians against

127
00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:41,519
him. How they might destroy him? What Jesus was there to heal and

128
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,879
they're trying to kill Jesus. What
in the world. Make it a great

129
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:48,840
day. Thanks for joining us listening
to friends. Always remember we cannot live

130
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,720
by bread alone, but by every
word that comes from the mouth of God.

131
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,480
This has been your daily portion with
El David Harris. Make it a

132
00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:00,279
great day, Yeah,
