1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,879
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,240
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,400
portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,199
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,280
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,359
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker

9
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,039
Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:36,719
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Friday, September five,

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,560
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,240
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,079
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,439
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,280
study series through the Book of Exodus, and our caption

16
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:59,240
for today is the Sanctuary God's dwelling among Us. The

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,400
sanctuary God's dwelling among Us. We'll get into that in

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,200
just a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome

19
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:07,879
to you and ask you to go over to your

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,799
Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community, pick

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,439
up the Your Daily Portion Life application guide, and let

22
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:17,599
us know where you are in the world at your

23
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:21,159
Daily portion dot com. This is one of the ways

24
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:25,200
that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,159
ahead and pray get underway. Father. We thank you for

26
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:32,599
this new morning and this time of preparation. Father, we

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,680
ask you to teach us to prepare our hearts for

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,200
the divine encounter. Teach us to prepare to see Jesus

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,480
face to face. Teach us to prepare to have such

30
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,400
an experience that we want to welcome others into relationship

31
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:56,439
with you. In Jesus' name, I pray amen and Amen again. Okay,

32
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,200
So what I'm going to do is begin by reading

33
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:02,640
in the book Patriarchs and Profits, page three hundred and

34
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,959
forty nine. And let me just say to those who

35
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:11,520
study this lesson in a church setting weekly, please don't pass.

36
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:14,400
I want to give you a heads up, like don't

37
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:18,319
just run by Fridays. I think sometimes people think it's

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,960
an afterthought. The top of the study says, further thought

39
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,479
to help us to continue along the pathway that we've

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,599
been on for the beginning of the week. Right, So

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,719
it is not an afterthought. Okay, some gems are right

42
00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:38,680
here and it reads the law of God enshrined within

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,199
the arc. We're talking about the arc of the Covenant.

44
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:46,919
We're talking about the stones, the tables where God actually

45
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:53,240
emblazoned on them, those sapphire tables emblazoned on them the

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,360
ten words, those ten promises of the Covenant, the ten commandments,

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,800
it says, was the great rule of righteousness and judgment.

48
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,599
And let me just say, in the scriptures, when you

49
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,960
see justice or judgment, most of the time, that actually

50
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:15,039
means righteousness. So if you're misjudging people, then that means

51
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:19,759
that you're holding them to the wrong standard of quote righteousness.

52
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,719
When you want justice, then you want the righteousness of

53
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,199
God to prevail. You understand. Let me continue that law

54
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,800
pronounced death upon the transgressor. Now we have a problem,

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,319
brothers and sisters. We have a problem because the one

56
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,639
who loves us, the one who loved us so much

57
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:44,520
that he gave everything that we needed when he created us,

58
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,039
is in a situation now where those whom he loved

59
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:53,520
that his only intent for was to live eternally in bliss,

60
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,680
never ever experiencing evil, are now experiencing evil by choice.

61
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:04,719
Adam Eve decided that they wanted to experience the knowledge

62
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,639
of evil. God only wanted them to have the knowledge

63
00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:11,439
of good, but they chose the wrong path. And now

64
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,960
all of us because of Adam's sin, Adam in particular

65
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,079
his sin. Now the Bible says the soul that sinneth,

66
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,680
it shall die. And we're talking about eternal death. We're

67
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,199
not talking about getting God forbid run over by taxi.

68
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,920
We're not talking about that. We're saying from the scriptures

69
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,680
that God is in a pickle. And I know that

70
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,959
that offended some people because you're like, no, God cannot

71
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:40,800
be in a pickle. Okay, you're right. I take it back.

72
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:44,839
I take it back. So the Bible teaches us that

73
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,680
God is just, that is, he's righteous, and he is

74
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,720
the justifier. He's the one who can make righteous whom

75
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,279
those who surrender our will to him. God, through his

76
00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:06,600
infinite wisdom and love, so loved the world that he

77
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,279
gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him

78
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:15,759
should not perish but have everlasting life. God didn't send

79
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,079
his son into the world to condemn the world, but

80
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,120
that the world through him might be saved. Well, what

81
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,079
does that mean in the context of what we're saying.

82
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,600
So God's judgment, his law of justice, his law of righteousness,

83
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:32,079
his standard of holiness is as it is. It is objective.

84
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:37,000
It doesn't care who is who. If you sin against

85
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:40,879
the law of God, against God himself, then the only

86
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,240
outcome is death. But in this case, the way God

87
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:49,480
becomes the justifier is that Jesus, taking on human flesh

88
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,759
after four thousand years of degradation, becomes the representative of humanity.

89
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:03,920
And as the representative of humanity, Jesus demonstrated what it

90
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:07,680
was like to actually surrender his will in every single

91
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,560
facet of his life to God. And when he did that,

92
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,240
and he did it successfully and then died the death

93
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,319
that we deserve, he was obedient unto death, even the

94
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:23,319
death of the cross. When he did that, now he

95
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800
was able to save to the uttermost those who are

96
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,399
called by him, because he, Jesus liveth ever liveth to

97
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,720
make intercession for us. Meaning he can lay his success

98
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:39,000
bazillions of dollars. I made that word up, his bazillions

99
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,319
of spiritual success dollars in the infinite well of the

100
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,439
bank of God. He now applies that to your account.

101
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,600
If you are his child, if you're surrendering his will,

102
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,720
your will to him. And so now the death that

103
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:01,160
a transgressor deserves, Jesus has taken that. And all we

104
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,639
need to do is yield our will to God so

105
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,959
that he can apply that to our account. Let me

106
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,439
read the rest of this. The law pronounced death upon

107
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,480
the transgressor. But above the law was the mercy seat.

108
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,399
So I told you the reality, the genuine article. But

109
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,639
now we're reading about the visual standard that we could

110
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,639
see when in the Old Testament we could see that

111
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,800
there was an arc of the covenant where the two

112
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,879
cherubim were on the outside, and that the seat was

113
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,839
representative of the throne of God. But that seat was

114
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,680
mercy seat. It was the mercy seat. And below the

115
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,759
mercy seat were the tables of the law. And so

116
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,920
that means that before we get to the law that

117
00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:57,199
now judgeth me. According to the hymn writer, we get

118
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,240
to the mercy of God, who's looking out for me.

119
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,279
He's the one who's looking out for me so that

120
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:06,160
I can be saved. And so we see the mercy

121
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:10,480
seat upon which the presence of God was revealed, and

122
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,839
from which, by virtue of atonement, pardon was granted to

123
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:19,399
the repentant sinner. So I said all of this already,

124
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,959
But what does it mean to repent? It is that

125
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:26,800
God gives us godly sorrow for sin, and then he

126
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:31,000
enables us to make a right about turn, a one

127
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:34,840
hundred and eighty degree turn, and go in the opposite

128
00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:39,960
direction of our sin, opposite direction of our broken relationship

129
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,720
with God, opposite direction of I'll write a prescription for

130
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,320
God and then tell him how to save me, the

131
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,879
opposite direction of excepting that it's somehow noble to be

132
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,759
poor and broken and needy, God has given us the

133
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:59,240
ability to turn the shoulder and then come into the

134
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,240
right direction, which is relationship with Him. Let me continue

135
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:08,080
thus in the work of Christ for our redemption, symbolized

136
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:13,639
by the sanctuary service. Mercy and truth are met. Hallelujah. Together,

137
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,519
righteousness and peace have kissed each other. According to Psalms,

138
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,120
chapter eighty five and verse ten. So God is so good,

139
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,879
and you want to say, well, how good is he?

140
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,000
He is so good that God has chosen to tabernacle

141
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:34,399
with us. He said, have them make a sanctuary that

142
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,080
I may dwell among them. The goal of the sanctuary

143
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,320
was to give us a window into the mind of

144
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,320
God about how we are saved. Make it a great days,

145
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,720
joining us listening friends.

146
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by

147
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,679
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This

148
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,200
has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make

149
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,279
it a great day. Yeah,
