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

10
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning. It is Sabbath, September

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,079
twenty one, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,679
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

13
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:45,960
Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,

14
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:49,119
and today is no exception. We are continuing with our

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,840
final week lesson number thirteen in our lesson study series,

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,880
the Book of Mark, and our caption for today is

17
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:01,640
the Risen Lord, The Risen Lord. We'll get into that

18
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:03,759
in just a moment, but first I'd like to say

19
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:05,680
welcome to you and ask you to please go over

20
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:10,719
to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community,

21
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:14,040
let us know where you are in the world, and

22
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:18,719
then we can continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

23
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:22,280
go ahead and pray and then get underway. Fie, Father,

24
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:25,560
thank you for this Sabbath morning. Thank you for the

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,959
power of the resurrection. Thank you for not leaving us

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,519
down here to our own devices, but giving us the

27
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:37,120
power to overcome any kind of sin. Father, in Jesus' name,

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,159
please teach us how to serve you well in all things.

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,920
In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. You

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,920
know I'm here thinking. I didn't intend to do this,

31
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:53,519
but I was thinking while I was getting ready to pray.

32
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:57,079
Based on our caption for today, there is that hymn

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,760
in the Hymnal number one hundred sixty six Christ the

34
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Lord has Risen Today by Charles Wesley. Charles Wesley, Christ

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:13,080
the Lord has Risen today. Allelujah, Sons of men and angels, say, Hallelujah.

36
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,960
Raise your joys and triumphs high. Hallelujah. Sing ye heavens

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:27,879
and earthly reply, Hallelujah. Lives again, lives again, our glorious King. Hallelujah.

38
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,439
Where oh death is now thy sting once he died

39
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,960
our souls to save, Where thy victory boasting grave loves

40
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:41,840
redeeming work is done, fought, the fight, the battle won,

41
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,599
Death in vain forbids him rise. Christ has opened paradise.

42
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:53,520
Sore we now where Christ has led followed our exalted Head.

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,520
Make like him, made like him, like him, We rise ours, cross,

44
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:06,080
the grave, the skies. Hallelujah. I love how mister Wesley.

45
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Minister Wesley gave us this him. It's a classic hymn

46
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,599
for every for every religious body under Christendom, including us.

47
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:21,639
And I'm grateful because it gives us a reason to

48
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,280
worship God, a reason to praise him. Did you get

49
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,560
that last part? Made like him, like him, We rise ours,

50
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,719
the cross, the grave, the skies. Whatever Jesus went through

51
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,319
for our good, he went through for our good meaning

52
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,680
meaning because he raised on the first day. Yes, that's

53
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,919
Sunday morning. He he, he's alive like he. He woke

54
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:52,719
up that Sunday morning with power in his hands, the

55
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,599
keys of hell, death in the grave in his hands.

56
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:59,560
Also the key to that liquor bottle that you used

57
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:03,680
to be like, the keys to that financial challenge that

58
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:06,400
you thought you could ever you could never overcome. He

59
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:08,520
has the keys to that. He has the keys to

60
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:12,000
that abusive relationship that you were not able in times

61
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,360
past to break away from, but now you are able

62
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:20,160
to because Jesus has risen. And it doesn't just put

63
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,120
us in a position where we see what he has experienced,

64
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,879
but what we can experience this Sabbath morning today. There

65
00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:30,600
are things that you have doubts about where God is

66
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:33,720
concerned that he can resolve those doubts. Yes, your faith

67
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,519
is waning because life is not going in the way

68
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:39,079
that you intended for it to go, or you thought

69
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:43,560
that you desired. But God, because Christ is risen, because

70
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,759
he has all power in his hands. Because we look

71
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,160
forward to Jesus being enthroned as King of kings and

72
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,519
Lord of lords one day we will see it with

73
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,160
our own eyes. We can see with our own eyes

74
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,800
today that same power to deliver us from every besetting sin,

75
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,800
every doubt, every weakness. We can have that today. Why,

76
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,720
because Christ our Lord has risen. Because Christ our Lord

77
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,639
is risen. And so we go to the Bible Book

78
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,959
of Mark. I'm preaching, but now we need to teach

79
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,839
Mark chapter sixteen and verse six, and the Bible reads

80
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:23,800
and he said to them, do not be alarmed. This

81
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,439
is the angel that is at the tomb where Jesus

82
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,759
was dead, but now he's alive. Don't be alarmed. You

83
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:37,800
seek Jesus of Nazareth. And my question is like, why

84
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,560
are they there seeking the living among the dead Jesus.

85
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:44,879
Why are they looking for Jesus where he said he

86
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:48,639
absolutely would not be that Sunday morning. Why would they

87
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,079
be there looking? And so you seek Jesus of Nazareth,

88
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:59,360
who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here.

89
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:06,199
See the place where they past tense laid him. This

90
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,000
is where he was. Just in case you're still confused,

91
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,959
why are you alarmed? Don't be alarmed or confused. I

92
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,079
want you to be amazed, sisters. I want you to

93
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,199
be amazed brothers who will find out soon. I want

94
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,879
you to be amazed, but not surprised. You should not

95
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,240
be confused about where Jesus is. You shouldn't be like,

96
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:30,160
he's not here. Come on now, he said that he

97
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,480
would not be here. All of the prophecies pointed to

98
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:38,399
his resurrection so that he could minister minister his own

99
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:42,199
blood in the sanctuary. Yes, he could minister his power

100
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:44,879
and victory to the point that he could deliver us

101
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,480
from sin and expunge the sin record of every person

102
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:52,319
who has ever lived and has confessed their sins and

103
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,879
turned away from our sins. Yes, Jesus is gone, bye bye.

104
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,160
He is not here because you looking for dead folks,

105
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,600
Jesus is not here. So let's look at the victory

106
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,480
that Jesus gave us over death. And we read now

107
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,199
just like we read in Westley's hymn from First Corinthians,

108
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:16,600
chapter fifteen, beginning at verse fifty five, Oh death, where

109
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,319
is thy sting grave? Where is thy victory? The sting

110
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:23,480
of death is sin, and the strength of sin is

111
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,279
the law. But thanks be to God. I want you

112
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:28,759
to type it in the chat. Thanks, thank you Jesus.

113
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:32,720
Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through

114
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:37,160
our Lord Jesus Christ, through our Lord Jesus Christ. So,

115
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:42,160
Jesus being victorious over the second death, I need you

116
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:46,079
to be very clear on this. Jesus being victorious over

117
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,319
the second death gives us the power to be victorious

118
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:57,160
over any besetting sin or earthly challenge. Thank God. Now

119
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,879
we read from Romans chapter six and verse four. Therefore

120
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,839
we are buried with him by baptism into death. We

121
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,600
are therefore buried with him by baptism into death. So

122
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:14,360
we see ourselves as he is crucified. We see ourselves

123
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:21,079
being crucified to sin. Okay, that like as Jesus was

124
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:25,040
raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father.

125
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,920
Even so also we should walk in the newness of life.

126
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,240
So in case you're confused about how this applies to you,

127
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,360
in the same way, miraculously Jesus allowed his earthly body

128
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,919
to die. I need to say that very clearly, because

129
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,039
Jesus did not cease being God the Son. He did

130
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,960
not cease being the eternal one who created us. According

131
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,039
to John chapter one, Hebrews chapter one, the one who

132
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,720
spoke and it stood fast, that's Jesus's voice. He's the

133
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,159
one that released his brightness upon the upon the face

134
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,159
of the deep. When he said, let there be light,

135
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:07,000
he was revealing himself as a revelation. Chapter twenty one

136
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,519
and verse twenty three says, he is that light. He's

137
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,600
the light of the city, he's the light of the temple.

138
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,320
He is the light of the world. And so the

139
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,759
same one who said let there be light, and there

140
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,120
was light could have said that his humanity will not die.

141
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,840
But the Bible says that he was obedient unto death,

142
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,960
even the death of the cross, and so miraculously he

143
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,480
laid down his life, and miraculously he took up his life.

144
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:37,080
So miraculously, the risen Lord can give you victory over

145
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,679
every sin and every challenge until he comes. And when

146
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,320
he does come, he's gonna make you he turns. Thanks

147
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,279
for joining us listening.

148
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but

149
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,639
by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

150
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360
This has been your daily portion with L. David Harris.

151
00:09:57,039 --> 00:10:00,279
Make it a great day. Yeah,
