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 --> 00:00:15,080
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,199 --> 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
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,439

Philippians and Colossians, and our caption for today is Reconcilly

17
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:06,200
and Hope. Reconciliation and Hope. Before we get into that,

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,760

00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:40,519

00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,439
Jesus comes. Help us, never to give up. In Jesus' name,

31
00:01:52,519 --> 00:02:01,079
I pray Amen and a men again reconciliation. And and

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,719
so the memory text for this Sabbath morning is coming

33
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:08,319
in from Tewo Corinthians, chapter five and verse twenty one,

34
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,120
and the Bible reads, for he Hath made him to

35
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,639
be sin for us. I remember being a new believer

36
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,360
and being blown away by this part of a passage,

37
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,080
and I'll come back to it, For he Hath made

38
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:27,719
him to be sin for us, who knew no sin,

39
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,759
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

40
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:39,240
Do you realize that Jesus put everything on the line

41
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,439
in order to save us. It really bothers me, And

42
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,400
that's understating it. I just I'm saying bother so I

43
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400
don't get on my soapbox, but it really bothers me.

44
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,840
When people who say that we are connected to God

45
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,919
minimize what Jesus went through when he lived on planet Earth.

46
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,159
They think it was a foregone conclusion, because God knows everything.

47
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,919
They think it was a foregone conclusion that Jesus would succeed.

48
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,039
And then you know, it's just sort of a I

49
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:11,439
don't know, a judicial, sort of a stroke of a

50
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:14,319
pen kind of situation, like a rubber stamp to say, Okay,

51
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,280
Jesus is gonna do this. He's going to do thirty

52
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,960
three and a half years on planet Earth like a sentence,

53
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,960
and as soon as that's done, he's going to tick

54
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:25,360
the box and go back to Heaven and save everybody. Yeah, well,

55
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:30,439
may I just say inspiration has told us that Jesus

56
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:34,080
could not see through the tomb. Think about it. The

57
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,560
one who created all things without him was not anything

58
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,280
made that was made in him was light and the

59
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,879
life was the light of men. Do you understand, like

60
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,400
we're talking about him, and when he became Jesus in

61
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:50,000
the fullness of time took on human flesh. After four

62
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:54,719
thousand years of human degradation and sin, he came into

63
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,719
human form, and he had to maintain his connection with

64
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,759
his father like a human would. Now he has to pray.

65
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Now he has to rely on God, our Father's guidance

66
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,680
and leading through the Holy Ghost. Now when he is tired,

67
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:15,120
he has to take a rest. What rest tired? What

68
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:19,639
now he gets hungry? Now, whatever temptation you have to

69
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,560
do evil, magnify that by a million or more fold, right,

70
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:29,439
because you have no power in yourself to do anything.

71
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,399
But Jesus could have just said, you know what, forget this,

72
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,040
I'm letting everybody down there die. In fact, I'll do

73
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,600
it myself. These people don't even appreciate me. Can you

74
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,079
imagine what it's like, No, you can't, that's rhetorical. Can

75
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,639
you imagine what it's like to have the kind of power,

76
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,040
the infinite, infinite power of God in your bosom that

77
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,399
at any time you could decimate this world because of

78
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,879
the wickedness of the people. And yet you are accepting

79
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,079
for the moment that they are reviling you, accepting in

80
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,319
the moment that they're wagging their heads and smacking and

81
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:06,399
beating you and pulling out your beard, accepting in the

82
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,639
moment that the people who are supposed to be representing you,

83
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,519
the ones who are supposed to be the teachers of

84
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,920
the law, are your arch enemies. Can you imagine what

85
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,680
it must have been like for Jesus in the moments

86
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,720
that he felt alone and separated from his father, to

87
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,680
cry out, my God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?

88
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680
How can Jesus be minimized?

89
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:31,439
Speaker 1: Now?

90
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,759
Speaker 2: The Bible says he became sin for us. Hmm. Now,

91
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:39,920
I want you to do this exercise with me, but

92
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,399
only do it for a short time, because it'll depress

93
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,439
you irreparably if you do it too long. I want

94
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,519
you to remember the most recent sin that you committed,

95
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,399
even if you have repented of it. I want you

96
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:55,439
to think about that one you drank rum when you

97
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,199
promised not to. Was it that you smoked some more

98
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:03,759
we that you determined that you shouldn't. Was it that

99
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,360
you had secret pride while everybody thought that you were

100
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,759
so holy, and yet you were hiding pride. You were

101
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,519
hiding that you're beating up your spouse. I'm saying, don't

102
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:13,920
type it in the chat. That's not our business. I'm saying.

103
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,160
I want you to fix that in your mind. I

104
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,040
want you to think of the times that you have

105
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:21,319
yelled at your children instead of showing them the way

106
00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:24,079
of righteousness. I want you to think of the times

107
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,519
that you have murdered, where you have done all kinds

108
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,759
of things that are unmentionable. God forbid. You've done some

109
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:34,160
things sexually to people that you should not have even

110
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,120
been with, much less commit that heinous act with them.

111
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,160
You understand, like, we're not playing around here. Can you

112
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,839
imagine that. Now, Multiply it by the tenth time that

113
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:46,800
you did it. Multiply it by the hundredth time that

114
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,480
you did it and you didn't you didn't confess or repent.

115
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,160
Multiply that by one hundred more, and then multiply that

116
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:57,279
by every single human being who has ever sinned, who've

117
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,759
ever lived, ever been born of a woman born on

118
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,079
planet Earth, every single sin that every single human who

119
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,639
has ever lived or ever will live until the coming

120
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,720
of Jesus Christ. Now placed that on the back of

121
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:15,120
one person, all of the guilt, all of the shame.

122
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Put that on the back of one person, and make

123
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,519
that person innocent, Make that person be aware that he

124
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,879
has never done anything wrong, and now he is paying

125
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,600
for every single sin that has ever been committed and

126
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:33,920
ever will be committed, and the people don't even appreciate it.

127
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:37,600
Do you get a picture now of the pressure that

128
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,879
must have been, No wonder he's sweat as it were

129
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:44,000
great drops of blood. Now Jesus has become sin for us,

130
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,959
who was innocent, completely innocent, who never needed to repent,

131
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,319
never needed to confess or forsake a sin, because he

132
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:56,879
was one hundred percent holy, one hundred percent of the time,

133
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,920
even as he lived on planet Earth. And then some

134
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,720
people misrepresent and disrespect him. Why did he do it?

135
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:09,879
Because he loves us that we might be made the

136
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,800
righteousness of God in him. Now we can walk around

137
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:16,120
as if we had never sinned. We can be seen

138
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,639
just as if we had never sinned. I don't even

139
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:23,399
know what else to say. I know under inspiration, we

140
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:28,920
are told that if we can read the story of redemption,

141
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:33,320
if we can look into the Bible Book of Isaiah,

142
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,879
chapter fifty three and not be moved by God to

143
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,879
see all that Jesus went a story about what Jesus

144
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,759
went through, not all and not be moved, then we

145
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:51,679
are sinning. We are we are in a sinful mindset

146
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,200
to where we are not moved by all that Jesus

147
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,320
did in order to save us. And listen. I don't

148
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,000
have a lot of time left, but listen. All our

149
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,240
want to say here is that is that the process

150
00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:09,759
of individual reconciliation is unpacked and the lesson. Yes, but listen,

151
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,519
think about what God went through in order to reconcile us,

152
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,480
and then think about humans who refuse to reconcile with

153
00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:27,919
God and reconcile with humans. God has given us the

154
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:31,320
ministry of reconciliation, brothers and sisters. So if God can

155
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,240
love us so much that he would bridge the divide

156
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,559
between us, then we should be able to bridge the

157
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,200
divide between us and other humans and help them also

158
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,399
get saved. Make it a great Sabbath, peace, Thanks for

159
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,039
joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by

160
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,919
bread alone, but by every word that comes from the

161
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,320
mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with

162
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,039
el David Harris. Make it a great day.

163
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah,
