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 --> 00:00:19,160
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 --> 00:00:27,480
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 --> 00:00:33,079

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,399
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Tuesday, March three,

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,520
twenty twenty six. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.

where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:50,200
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:56,159
study series uniting Heaven and Earth, christ in Philippians and Colossians,

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,840
and our caption for today is Nailed to the Cross.

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,879
Nailed to the Cross. We'll get into that in just

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,760
a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome to

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,280

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,480
ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

29
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:47,959
go ahead and pray and get underway. Father, we thank

30
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:52,239
you for this day. Thank you for nailing the things

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,879
that were against us to the cross. Thank you for

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,359
giving us the privilege of living living with your power. Today.

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,879
Please help us to accept Jesus in the fullness. In

34
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,159
Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. So I

35
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:17,520
want to super simplify, but not oversimplify our discussion for today,

36
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,240
first with a question, does your understanding of the Cross

37
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:28,039
or what Jesus did as our sacrifice on the Cross

38
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:34,879
lead you to freedom from condemnation while strengthening your loyalty

39
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,240
to God's law. This is a very pointed question. I'm

40
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,840
calling it a heart check. Does your understanding of salvation

41
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,039
through Christ lead you to freedom from condemnation? So we're

42
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,039
not afraid of an angry God in air quotes. I

43
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:58,080
think back in December we talked about like the view

44
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,159
of God as the angry God. That's not the reality.

45
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,960
That's not the reality. He's not there just looking for

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,840
somebody to destroy. But does your understanding of what God

47
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:13,400
has done for us through Christ lead you to freedom

48
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:19,879
from condemnation? Hold that right there, stick a pin while

49
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,120
strengthening you to loyalty to his law. You see, sometimes

50
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:29,360
people throw the law out because they say that Jesus

51
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,599
delivers us from condemnation. And it's like, no, you, like

52
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,919
you completely missed the point. Jesus would not. He would

53
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,199
not he would not have died, He wouldn't have needed

54
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,639
to die on the cross. If the law could be

55
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:51,159
just thrown away or changed somehow, the Ten Commandments law

56
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,560
still stands. Therefore, Jesus gave his life as as satisfying

57
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:04,919
the standard. Because humans broke the law, humans trampled the law, well,

58
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,479
somebody has to die for that. The soul that sins

59
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:15,280
must die. Why because the law, the law, like the

60
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:19,240
transgression of the law, is what sin is. And so

61
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,920
when we are delivered from condemnation, when we are in Christ,

62
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,879
now we are empowered to actually do what God said,

63
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,680
like Jesus did. Okay, And so I'm reading from Review

64
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,279
and Herald eighteen seventy five. The law of ten Commandments

65
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:44,160
was not abolished at the cross. Was What was removed

66
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:49,199
was the system of rights and ceremonies that pointed forward

67
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,319
to Christ. And so what was nailed to the cross

68
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,240
was not the Ten Commandments law. That wouldn't even make sense.

69
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,680
It wouldn't make sense. It's the transcript of God's character.

70
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,879
It's the standard of right ta sciousness. What was nailed

71
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:05,920
to the cross, what was removed at the time of

72
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,160
Jesus giving his life for us, was that sacerdotal as

73
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:15,160
the theologians call it, the Sacerdotal system, the system of sacrifices, rites,

74
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:20,439
and ceremonies, the shadows, the types that pointed forward to Jesus,

75
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,120
because he is the genuine article. So if you go

76
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,040
and try to sacrifice a lamb today, or a goat

77
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,680
or a bullock today, in order to somehow expiate your sin,

78
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,839
you are what rejecting Jesus Christ, and that is not

79
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,959
what we want as believers. We accept Christ and we

80
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,519
say okay, bye by shadows, Bye bye types, Bye bye priests.

81
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:48,079
Bye bye high priests, like bye by all of these

82
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:52,399
things that people put in the way of Christ. Yeah, Okay,

83
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:54,439
before I get too passionate, let me read one more

84
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,040
The Desire of Ages, page one hundred and sixty five.

85
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:02,199
We read the ceremonial system made up of symbols pointing

86
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,639
to Christ, to his sacrifice and his priesthood. When Christ died,

87
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,439
what is the timeline on this thing? When Christ died,

88
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,480
the symbols met their fulfillment. Jesus came to fulfill the law.

89
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,920
What law the law of ceremonies and sacrifices. I'll leave

90
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,560
that right where it is, and we'll continue with our

91
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:32,399
lesson Number one Colossian, Chapter two and verse fourteen. He

92
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:38,839
destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed

93
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:45,319
in decrees opposed us. He has taken it away by

94
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:51,800
nailing it to the cross. Paul identifies something that stood

95
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,040
against us and condemned us. The language fits legal and

96
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,560
legal indebtedness and ceremonial regulations tied to guilt and separation,

97
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:08,959
not the Ten Commandments law. God's law defines sin. The

98
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:17,600
Ten Commandments law defines sin. Okay, The cross addresses sin's penalty.

99
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:20,920
I said that in an impassioned way a little bit earlier.

100
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,639
And the system that symbolized separation not the moral standard

101
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,439
that reveals God in his character. And so and so,

102
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,399
what I want you to do is, while you study

103
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,160
through Colossians chapter two by yourself with the Holy Ghost,

104
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:45,959
I want you to reject teachings, teachings that weaken obedience

105
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,680
by misusing the cross. The Cross of Christ his sacrifice

106
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,480
does not say that we can now kill murder. It

107
00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:00,120
does not say that we can now commit adultery. It

108
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:07,639
doesn't legalize lying. It does not legalize sabbath breaking, the

109
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,160
seventh day Sabbath breaking. It does not legalize. The cross

110
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,000
does not legalize coveteousness. The cross does not legalize disrespecting

111
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,839
and dishonoring our parents. The Cross does not make it

112
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:23,759
legal for us to have other gods before God. Do

113
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,439
you understand where we're going with this? That's how crazy

114
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,360
it sounds when people say that Jesus nailed the Ten

115
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,919
Commandments to the cross. It's like, what, that doesn't make sense.

116
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:36,840
It's not now legal to have other gods before God.

117
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:40,679
It is not now legal to bow down ourselves to

118
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,960
them and serve them. It doesn't make God not jealous anymore,

119
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,600
you understand, so reject that and ask God like, how

120
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,159
can how can you please deepen my gratitude and commitment

121
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,440
to the Holy standard of righteousness, which is the law

122
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,120
through having salvation in Christ, my God. I don't have

123
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:06,440
that kind of time. Let me go on to lesson

124
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:12,759
number two. True circumcision is an inner transformation. When you

125
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:17,559
read in Colossians two and verse eleven about circumcision, even

126
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,240
back in the Old Testament when Moses wrote about it,

127
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,120
he wrote about the circumcision of the heart to love

128
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,919
the Lord our God. And so circumcision as a ceremony

129
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,080
or a rite has been nullified. In Jesus Christ. He

130
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,840
wants us to have the inner transformation to love the

131
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:42,440
Lord our God with everything we have and everything we are.

132
00:09:42,759 --> 00:09:44,519
Circumcision of the heart. Peace.

133
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

134
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

135
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

136
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
