1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,079
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Sabbath, September fourteen,

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,039
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.

12
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:43,560
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,880
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,560

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,600
study series through the Book of Mark and our caption

16
00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:00,560
for today is Tried and Crucified, tried and for rufied.

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,159
We'll get into that in just a moment, but first

18
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:05,040
I like to say welcome to you and ask you

19
00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:07,799

the world. At your Daily Portion dot com. This is

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,920
one of the ways that we continue to build faith

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,439
and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,519
will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving

26
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:30,719
us this Sabbath day, for your love toward us. Thank

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,079
you for loving us beyond our capacity to understand. Thank

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,799
you for giving us the principles of scripture and the

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,760
stories of people who have lived before us, and all

30
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:44,879
of the things that they did, the mistakes they made,

31
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:47,959
in the ways that they triumphed because they surrendered to you.

32
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,319
Help us to skip to the end and just triumph

33
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:54,319
because we trust in You. In Jesus' name, I pray,

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,879
Amen and Amen again, tried and crucified. Now Jesus, Jesus

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,680
is right on the very edge where he is about

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,800
to go through with what the prophets said he would do.

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,759
In Daniel chapter nine, the Bible says that Jesus would

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,000
come up, he would appear, doesn't call him Jesus, but

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,560
the anointed One would come the fulfillment of that Messianic

40
00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:24,879
prophecy that the Messiah would come up at a certain time,

41
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:29,960
and that is at that in the seventy weeks prophecy

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,639
and then the Bible says that that at in the

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,960
midst of the week, he would be cut off, he

44
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,120
would be crucified, he would be cut off. Who the

45
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:43,439
anointed one, the Messiah, who appeared three and a half

46
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,199
years prior, like as the Us, as the Messiah when

47
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,120
he was when he was anointed by the Holy ghost,

48
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,800
as he was being baptized by John and the Jordan River.

49
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,280
And so now three and a half years later the

50
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:02,080
Bible told us these these, the these inspired men of God,

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,560
spoke as they were moved by the holy ghosts. They

52
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,800
told us that Jesus was about to give his life,

53
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:11,120
not for himself, but for the people. He would not

54
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,039
be guilty of the charges that they would throw and

55
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:19,840
hurl toward him, But we are guilty. And Jesus decided

56
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:26,439
to take the guilt upon his shoulders. He was a volunteer,

57
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:33,479
the Holy volunteer, who would save his people from our sins.

58
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,360
And so he gets through that dark trial. In Gethsemane.

59
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:40,159
He allows himself to be betrayed into the hands of

60
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,520
the people who hated him, who were supposed to be

61
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:49,000
priests and followers of God, but they were really of

62
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:52,520
their father. The devil. And so now Jesus is on

63
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,919
the cross like he's giving his life. Literally, he's about

64
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,319
to breathe his last breath. We'll track back a little later,

65
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:04,560
not today, but in the coming days. But Jesus is

66
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,080
about to give his life. And according to Mark, chapter

67
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,400
fifteen and verse thirty four, the Bible reads and at

68
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,840
the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying,

69
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:22,000
Eli Eli lama sabaktanai, which is being in translation, My God,

70
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,360
My God, why have you forsaken me? It's incredulous. Why

71
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:30,480
would you forsake me? The one who was one with you,

72
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,040
who is one with you, the one whose hands you

73
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:38,079
cooperated with as I created the heavens and the earth

74
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,399
and these people, the one who is now here to

75
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,879
do your will. Oh, my God, on whose law I

76
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,959
do meditate, How could you be forsaking me? He's on

77
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
the cross and he feels forsaken by God. Have you

78
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,240
ever felt forsaken by God? Have you ever felt that

79
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,759
God left you in your pain and trial when God forbid?

80
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,639
You are abused in that relationship with that spouse who

81
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,920
did not respect God. Even though that spouse would go

82
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,279
through this cycle of sometimes acting as if they loved

83
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:20,600
you by giving you great surprises and cool gifts and

84
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,279
giving you all kinds of praise and accolades and social media,

85
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,600
and standing up sometimes even in church, before the people

86
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,680
of God and saying that this one is the best spouse,

87
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:33,160
the best husband, the best wife that I ever had.

88
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:37,160
But behind closed doors, he or she is abusing you.

89
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,399
Oh God Lord, have mercy on us. Have you ever

90
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:45,319
felt forsaken by God? Where it felt dark when you

91
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,360
were looking at your spouse and his or her last

92
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,519
moments of life ebbing from their bodies, and you wonder,

93
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:58,399
has God forsaken me? You still feel guilty for things

94
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:02,120
that you've already confessed to God, but it's not God's fault.

95
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,800
It's because you don't trust him enough to believe that

96
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,360
no matter what the sin is, if you confess your sins,

97
00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:12,360
he's faithful and just to forgive you of your sins

98
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,639
and cleanse you from all unrighteousness, and not bring up

99
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,879
old stuff before you, because now there's no record that

100
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,120
he's going to hold against you. He said, blessed is

101
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,279
the person to whom God does not impute iniquity. So

102
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,480
God has forgiven you and He's going to cleanse your

103
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040
sin record at the appropriate time. But you feel forsaken.

104
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,600
Jesus's feeling forsaken by God our Father, and he's there.

105
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:42,360
And some lessons now we need to learn is that

106
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:47,839
God understands your suffering. He understands your suffering because Jesus

107
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,879
suffered on the cross feeling even though it wasn't true,

108
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,000
he was feeling separated from his father. God, our Father

109
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,800
was there with him, even though the sun would not

110
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:01,639
shine in that moment. God our Father was with him.

111
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,600
He understands your suffering. And so we are to yield

112
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:10,360
ourselves to God and say, God, but Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

113
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,959
suffered while he was down here. Can you give me

114
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,800
that triumph that he experienced as he went through his

115
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:22,000
suffering and came out as the savior of the world.

116
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
And then, of course God is present in our loneliness.

117
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:31,240
We see recorded in Psalm chapter twenty one, Our twenty two,

118
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,319
Chapter twenty two and verse one. My God, my God,

119
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:38,319
why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far

120
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:42,120
from helping me? And from the words of my roaring,

121
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,959
even in the moments of profound loneliness, or feelings of abandonment.

122
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,920
God is present. The Psalmist. He cried, he cried, and

123
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,759
he cried out, and it was really just a manifestation

124
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,680
of what Jesus would ultimately go through. And this teaches

125
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,160
us that expressing our deepest fears and feelings of abandonment

126
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:07,040
can lead to a greater awareness of God's presence if

127
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,800
we just continue to trust him. Because really, the night

128
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:13,560
did not continue, that feeling of darkness did not continue.

129
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,399
Jesus knew at the right time that his father was

130
00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:20,959
in fact with him. And then in Isaiah chapter fifty five,

131
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:23,800
verses eight and nine, we read, for my thoughts are

132
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,759
not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said

133
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,639
the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

134
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,879
so are my ways higher than your ways, and my

135
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:44,440
thoughts than your thoughts. So God's plans they transcend our understanding.

136
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:47,919
Jesus had to go through that suffering, He had to

137
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,279
go through that moment of trial. He had to feel

138
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,879
to his core exactly what he felt and experienced. He

139
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,879
had to carry all of our sins to the cross.

140
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,799
He had to do it in order to save us

141
00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:07,360
and to be a manifestation of the love that our

142
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:10,159
father has toward us. Oh, I'll get into that another

143
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,840
day of the Lord Spear's life. God's plans transcend our understanding.

144
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,639
But you know what. Ultimately, God provides sacrifice. He's the

145
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,799
one who provided the ultimate sacrifice. He provided the sacrifice

146
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,559
so you brother, you sister, that we can be saved. Yeah.

147
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:39,519
Jesus was tried, he was crucified. He succeeded because he

148
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,799
did God's will. Will you succeed by doing God's will too?

149
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,039
Make it a great day.

150
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,159
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, listening to friends. Always remember we

151
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

152
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

153
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
