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
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,399
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, December seventeen,

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,039

16
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:58,880
caption for today is it is finished. By the time

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,880

00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:48,920
after we're done here, Okay, let's go ahead and pray

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,799
and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you,

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,239
We thank you for waking us up this morning and

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,920
giving us this opportunity to come together at five AF

36
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:03,799
my time and whatever time these your children are in

37
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,599
the world. I pray that you will teach us to

38
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:11,319
be finished with sin. Please teach us to be finished

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,960
with sinning. In Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and Amen again.

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,120
I know I know it's jarring to somebody that I said, Lord,

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,400
please help us to be finished with sinning. You know

42
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:26,400
God is able, Jesus is able to keep us from

43
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,280
falling and to present us faultless before the Father, or

44
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:32,400
before the presence with exceeding joy. So we want to

45
00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:36,360
give Jesus the privilege and opportunity to say yes in

46
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:39,439
the life of every person that's on this platform today,

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,879
all of the hundreds of thousands of you who are

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,919
listening at this very moment simultaneously around the world on

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,120
the radio, and all of the thousands of you who

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000
are watching on social media, and who knows how many

51
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:56,360
listening on podcasts, that today is the day that you

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,639
can be finished with willfully turning away from God. Now

53
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,879
you hear what I just said. Now we can be finished.

54
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:06,879
We can go and sin no more. We can go

55
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,199
and have the power of God unto salvation in our lives,

56
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,919
to the degree that we will learn how to serve

57
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:16,199
Jesus right, and if God forbid, we should turn our

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,919
back on Him for even a moment. The Bible says,

59
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,280
my little children, these things right, I unto you that

60
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,439
ye sin not but or and if any person sins,

61
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,120
you have an advocate. I'm thankful the one we beheld yesterday,

62
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,159
Jesus Christ. You have an advocate with the Father, Jesus

63
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Christ the Righteous, and he has come to become the

64
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:41,000
propitiation for us all that is the mercy seat, the

65
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,120
one that is giving us the mercy so that we

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,560
can be saved. He is that for all of us,

67
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:51,719
including those who don't yet know him. It is finished.

68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,599
This is going to be a place in space of

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,120
worship and appreciation. Again from the Companion Guide, I want

70
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:02,280
you to get from your Daily Portion dot com. I

71
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:05,080
need you to go into our community and share how

72
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,159
you're going to apply it in one of those four

73
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,400
key ways that we talk about there. This is a

74
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:14,840
worship space, it is an appreciation space. This is where

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,839
we get to connect with God in a new way.

76
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,519
And so we read from the book The Desire of Ages,

77
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,639
page seven hundred and forty five, and it reads, a

78
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,879
higher power than pilot or the so called I'm saying

79
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:34,480
so called people of God had directed the placing of

80
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,120
that inscription above the head of Jesus. We'll read about

81
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,720
in the Providence of God. It was to awaken thought

82
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,480
an investigation of the scriptures. Who is this man that's

83
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:51,279
the end of the quote, like, who is this man

84
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:53,439
that they are saying is the king of the Jews?

85
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,920
Who is this man that is on the cross, who

86
00:04:55,959 --> 00:05:00,040
is just taking what they're giving who's not cursing, It

87
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:03,399
was not complaining. Who is this man who does not

88
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,199
need his bones broken? Because he yielded his life. It

89
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,399
did not need those bits of alcohol that vinegar to

90
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,879
ease the pressure, because he had the power of God

91
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,199
in his bosom, so that he could deal with the load,

92
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:22,319
with all of the sins of the people on him.

93
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:27,160
At that same moment in time, while his heart broke, wondering, God,

94
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,759
why have you forsaken me? But Jesus, with his eyes set,

95
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,839
with his resolve solid, he was about to tell us

96
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,879
it is finished. But before we get there, let's go

97
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:44,120
ahead and read. Let us go ahead and read from

98
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,279
John chapter nineteen, beginning at verse seventeen, and the Bible reads,

99
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,959
and bearing his Cross, Jesus bore his cross, brothers and sisters.

100
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:53,920
He did not try to give it away. He did

101
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,319
not run away from it. He did not try to

102
00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:59,720
shirk responsibility. He did not change his mind and say

103
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,519
I don't want to do this because these people are

104
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:04,720
too wicked, and let them get what they deserve. No,

105
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:08,120
the Bible says, and he bearing his cross, are you

106
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,519
bearing your cross, brothers and sisters, whatever the cross of

107
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:14,199
your life is, are you bearing it and taking it

108
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,759
to Jesus, and saying, God, this is your burden, because

109
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,000
I am not able to carry it. And bearing the

110
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,040
cross his cross, he went forth unto the place called

111
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:28,600
the place of the Skull, which is called in the

112
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:34,399
Hebrew Galgatha, where they crucified him. What and two other

113
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,199
with him, one on either side, and Jesus in the

114
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,360
midst And Pilot wrote a title and put it on

115
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:49,639
the cross. The writing was Jesus of Nazareth, the King

116
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,120
of the Jews. This title then read many of the Jews,

117
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,519
for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh into

118
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:01,160
the city, and it was rich in Hebrew, in Greek,

119
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:06,000
and in Latin. Then said the chief priests to Pilot, right,

120
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,480
not the king of the Jews, but that he said,

121
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,319
I am the king of the Jews. Pilot answered, what

122
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:18,160
I have written, I have written. Now, standing beside Jesus's

123
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:22,199
cross was his mother. Can you imagine that blessed woman

124
00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:26,560
that God gave the privilege of carrying Jesus, the Son

125
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:30,560
of God, in her womb miraculously. Now she is watching

126
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:34,720
the moments of his life eb from him, and she

127
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,680
is there at the cross, watching her Savior, not just

128
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,600
her son. She's watching her savior now. He's elevated in

129
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,360
her mind. Now she is very clear about who he is.

130
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:48,600
She knew who he was, but she's seeing it in

131
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:52,079
real life, not just that the angel came to announce it,

132
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,199
not just that she could read and discern the meaning

133
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:58,920
of the prophecies. But she's seeing Jesus Christ now, the

134
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,360
Son of God, giving his life for her. But I'm

135
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:06,839
sure that the proverbial wound still hurts. I'm sure that

136
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,839
she's still saying, why are they doing this to him?

137
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,920
And I'm sure that if she could have, she would

138
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,639
have delivered him. But she knows that she has to

139
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,439
allow Jesus to do why he came here, do what

140
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,560
she trained him under the Holy Ghost to be able

141
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:29,680
to do. His mother's sister Mary, the wife of Klopphahs

142
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:33,960
and Mary Magdalene. So when Jesus saw his mother and

143
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:37,440
the disciple whom he loved, that's John standing there. He

144
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:41,600
said to his mother, woman, woman, look here is your son.

145
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,600
Brothers and sisters. Do you think of your parents in

146
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,039
the way that you would take care of them even

147
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,639
to the last moment of your breath? Do you, sons

148
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,200
love your mommy so much that even as you are dying,

149
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,159
you are thinking for her best interest. Are you leaving

150
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,720
a plan for her to be taken care of? Behold

151
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:05,879
your son Verse twenty seven, and he said to this disciple, Look,

152
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:09,879
here is your mother. For that very time, the disciple

153
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,639
took her into his own home. Oh my goodness. And

154
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,360
so later on, the Bible says, as he gave his

155
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:23,399
last breath, he announced, he cried, it is finished. What

156
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,320
was finished? When Jesus cried aloud as he gave his

157
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,039
last and he breathed his last breath, it is finished.

158
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:36,080
His earthly ministry was complete. His earthly ministry was complete.

159
00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:39,399
He would give his life once for all and then

160
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,600
move on to his ministry in heaven. Make it a

161
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:43,799
great day, peace.

162
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

163
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

164
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

165
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
