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 --> 00:00:33,119
author speaker Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,039
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Thursday, March

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,759
twenty twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,960
study series God's Love and Justice under the caption who

16
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:59,039
is my Neighbor? Who is my neighbor? We'll get into

17
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:00,960
that in just a moment, but first I'd like to

portion dot com. Let's go ahead and pray, and then

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,959
we will get underway. Father in heaven, please please please

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,959
give us the fullness of your holy spirit. Please help

33
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:57,959
us to see as you see. Thank you for loving

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
us so much, and thank you for giving us the

35
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:05,280
opportunity to come together this morning. Please teach us who

36
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,800
is our neighbor, help us to be neighborly in Jesus name.

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,199
I pray, Amen and Amen again. You see, Jesus had

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,120
very very while he lived on planet Earth. I'm saying,

39
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:22,240
had a very interesting way of bringing our minds to

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:29,000
the simplest truths, even though we miss them naturally. It's

41
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,080
unfortunate that we miss them naturally, but it's the reality,

42
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,159
and he doesn't leave us so that we are not

43
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,319
able to overcome that natural ignorance. Right, he gives us

44
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:42,000
the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truths. So

45
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,599
who is my neighbor? We're going to answer. We're going

46
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,240
to answer the question after we read from the Bible

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,639
Book of Luke. Bible Book of Luke, chapter Let's go

48
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:58,439
with chapter ten, beginning at verse twenty five. Luke Chapter ten,

49
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,280
beginning at verse twenty five, and the Bible reads, and behold,

50
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,680
a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, meaning Jesus, saying, Master,

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,479
what shall I do to inherit eternal life? You see,

52
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:15,680
he's not interested in life. He's interested in quizzing Jesus.

53
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:19,159
He wants to be a quiz master verse twenty six,

54
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,199
and he said, unto him, what is written in the law?

55
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:25,639
How readest thou? May I just pause right here and

56
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,599
give a great, big shout out to all of the

57
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,520
coaches out there. I'm talking about not team coaches, but

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,080
I'm talking about executive coaches, life and success coaches. That

59
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,080
kind of coaching right as a paradigm, because Jesus just

60
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:46,039
gave us the model for great coaching. Ask the right

61
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,479
questions and have the people that you're assisting learned to

62
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:57,479
answer them. And then you guide them based on whatever

63
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,360
the answers are. I wish I had the time, And

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,520
he said, unto, and what is written in the law,

65
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,439
How readest thou? And he answering said, thou shalt love

66
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:08,479
the Lord, thy God with all thy heart. Okay, this

67
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,919
is going well, and with all thy soul, this is

68
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,159
really going well. And with all thy strength, and with

69
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:18,199
all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself. You see,

70
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,680
people who, depending on the mindset, are needing assistance, whether

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,040
they are proud or humble, have the answers sometimes in

72
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,199
their bosom. And so this dude who was proud, who

73
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,480
really had nothing good on his mind at this moment,

74
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,319
actually had the right answers. And Jesus said, unto him

75
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,639
verse twenty eight. Thou hast answered, right, this do and

76
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,199
ye shall live. So what else is there? Well, you

77
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,319
know anything next question? That would be my approach. But

78
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:54,360
thankfully Jesus is not me, Bible says in verse twenty nine.

79
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,959
But he willing to justify himself, said, unto Jesus, and

80
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:04,680
who is my neighbor? And Jesus answering said. A certain

81
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:08,360
man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves,

82
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,720
which stripped him of his raiment, wounded him and departed,

83
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:16,680
leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down

84
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,560
a certain priest. Oh that way, when he saw him,

85
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,120
he was supposed to help him. Right, the priest is

86
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,759
supposed to do something very special, speak to God while

87
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,759
helping him. God, what do you want me to do?

88
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,560
Call others if you need some assistance, and help him

89
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,759
and speak and pray to God. Right. Well, no, that's

90
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,279
not what happened. He passed by on the other side,

91
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,920
and likewise verse thirty two. A levite. Okay, surely he's

92
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:47,720
going to do the right thing. Ah, he's part of

93
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:51,000
the one would who would stand in the gap and

94
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:56,000
defend the cause of God in and among the people. Right,

95
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,439
the levite is helping to usher people into worship. So

96
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
he's going to do the right thing. Well, the Bible says,

97
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,160
when he was at the place, he came and looked

98
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:10,199
at him. Okay, this is good. But he passed on

99
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,160
the other side. What all right?

100
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:14,519
Speaker 1: All right?

101
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: Verse thirty three. But a certain Samaritan, you know, the

102
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,319
people of God I'll call them, had problem with the Samaritans,

103
00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:25,240
even though in a lot of ways they're related, but

104
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,680
they had a problem with the Samaritans. They didn't see

105
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,560
them as anything good. Ah. But a certain Samaritan, as

106
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,639
he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him,

107
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,040
oh wait a minute, he had compassion on him. The

108
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,279
unlikeliest candidate had compassion on him, and he went to

109
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,759
him and bound up his wounds. Oh my, he physically

110
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,360
went to him. He saw him, he went to him.

111
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:57,120
He actually addressed his condition, those wounds and pouring in

112
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,600
oil and wine. So he's giving him the right therapies,

113
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,120
thank God. And he set him on his own beast.

114
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,079
So he didn't just leave him there. He didn't grasp

115
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,920
his hand and pray and say, brother, be be healed,

116
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:12,800
and then waited and hoped, and then nothing happened, and

117
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,839
he just said, well, you know, I bid you adie. No, no, no,

118
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:17,680
no no. He put him on his own beast, and

119
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,519
then he brought him to an end. So he took

120
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,360
him somewhere, so he's no longer on the road. He

121
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,759
changes his physical condition through healing. He changes or therapies,

122
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,240
if you want to say. He shows him compassion by

123
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:36,959
touching and holding on to and then lifting him up

124
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,399
and putting him on his own animal. And then he

125
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,800
brought him to a place where the brother could be

126
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,319
attended to, somewhere more comfortable than the side of a road,

127
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:53,120
and took care of him Verse thirty five. And on

128
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,839
the morrow when he departed, so he stayed there the

129
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,160
night he took up two pence. So he brought some

130
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:02,000
money and gave pay them to the host, and said

131
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,519
to the host take care of him, and whatsoever thou

132
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:12,079
spendest more, I when I come again, I will repay thee.

133
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,800
So he made sure that this brother had every single

134
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,959
thing he needed, or should I say his neighbor, everything

135
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
that he needed, so that he could not only be

136
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:29,000
a survivor of what happened to him in this unfortunate

137
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:33,240
event or turn of events, but so that he would thrive.

138
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:37,200
And he said, I will repay thee. I think Jesus

139
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,200
paid it all all to him. I owe Sin has

140
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,879
left a crimson stain, but he has washed me white

141
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:48,279
as snow. And then the Bible says, which now of

142
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,240
these three thinkest thou was the neighbor unto him that

143
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,720
fell among the thieves, And he said he that showed

144
00:08:55,759 --> 00:09:00,120
mercy on him. Then Jesus said unto him, go and

145
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:07,519
do likewise. Jesus was reading the mind of the man

146
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,799
who was not neighborly minded. Jesus was reading the mind

147
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,360
of the man who loved talking about the Bible but

148
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:25,120
was a hypocrite, and he was giving him the method

149
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,960
of Christ for being like God. Let this mind be

150
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,960
in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. The Bible says,

151
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,720
humble ourselves, be of service to people, Love God, and

152
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,080
love other humans no matter what. Make it a great day, Peace.

153
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,159
Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we

154
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

155
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

156
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:58,039
daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day.

157
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah,
