Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

giving us this new day and for the opportunity, the
privilege we have to come into your presence. Please help
us to become living sacrifices wholly and acceptable unto God,
which is our reasonable service. In Jesus' name, I pray,
A men and a man again, So much to say,
so little time. Let's jump down to near the bottom
of the lesson to this quote that is very interesting
in my mind. It describes Jesus as a covenant keeper
or the covenant keeper. Okay, Jesus became the last atom
in quotes based on First Corinthians, chapter fifteen and verse
forty five. Where he had failed, he where we had failed.
Where we had failed, Jesus never failed. He lived perfectly
in his humanity. He was everything the human race was
supposed to be. You see, God made a covenant with us.
He made a covenant with us. So many different details,
but the bottom line is we broke every kind of
covenant that God made with us. But Jesus as the
representative of the human race, when he took on human form,
Jesus Christ actually fulfilled even the human side of the covenant.
Not only is he the lamb that seals this covenant,
not only is he the god of the universe who
is making covenant. But he says, because you keep falling short,
I'm going to do something special and miraculous. Take on
human form, and inhuman form, keep covenant as a human being,
so that even the humans can receive the blessing of
the covenant. I wish I had the time. Okay, and
so and so, the lesson writer continues. He reflected God's
glory perfectly, so we know that part. But again he
also represented the human race perfectly. The Bible says here
in John chapter fourteen and verse nine, if you have
seen me, this is what Jesus told Philip. You have
seen the Father. So I'm seeing Jesus here as the
ultimate covenant keeper. Oh God, this is so good. This
is so good. So now let's jump into the lesson
a little bit more deeply. Okay, and we go to
First Corinthians chapter five and verse seven. Don't worry about
my camera blinking. It's hot in here. Somehow it's blinking, blinking, blinking.
But the Bible reads, for even Christ, our passover is
sacrificed for us. Okay, And so we'll read in a
second from the Bible book of Exodus in the Old Testament,
the day of Passover one, the one I shouldn't say
original one, but the one that the people kept going
back to in their minds as a reference point, was
the time that God decided that he would preserve his
people as long as they, by faith, applied the blood
to their lives. I'm not going to give you the
details like you can read it in Exodus chapter twelve,
but you can go back and do that. But when
the people by faith did exactly what God said and
applied the blood of the Lamb in the way that
he prescribed God's people, and anybody who aligned themselves with
God's people in that moment were protected from sudden and
actual death. The death angel passed over the houses where
the people by faith were listening, listening to what God
said about the lamb. Okay. And so this is the
love that God God has given us because Jesus Christ
became the sacrifice that made all of this actually make sense.
And so we read now from Exodus chapter twelve and
verse seven, and the Bible reads, and they shall take
the blood and strike it on the two side posts,
so that's the literal practical, and on the upper door
post of the houses wherein they shall eat. And so
the lesson for us is that we trust in God's
provision and his protection. We trust in His provision and protection,
believing that faith in Jesus Christ's sacrifice brings us protection
and deliverance, deliverance from eternal damnation, deliverance from eternal separation
from God, deliverance even in our daily lives, deliverance from
the doubts that some people have. Is God listening to me.
Of course he's listening to you. Having faith in Christ
and applying his power to our lives by faith gives
us the ability to say, yes, God, I know you're
listening to me. I'm in a dark time. I'm not
having the time of my life at this moment. I've
lost loved ones. I'm not having the time of my
life at this moment because the month is longer than
the money. I'm not having the time of my life
at this moment because my children seem to have lost
their way. The Bible is showing us that when we
apply the blood, or allow God to apply the blood
to our lives, that is the sacrifice of Jesus to
our lives, then everything we need he will supply. I
wish I had the time. And we go now to Isaiah,
chapter fifty three and verse seven. The Bible reads, he
was oppressed. Jesus was oppressed, and he was afflicted. Yet
he opened not his mouth. He is brought as a
lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers,
is dumb. So he opened not his mouth. And so
we appreciate and live in the freedom of redemption that
Jesus provides. Are you grateful that Jesus provides freedom? In Christ?
There is liberty with this, He frees us from the
bondage of sin. Ultimately, this is what we're really talking about. Like,
we don't have to tiptoe around it, We don't have
to change the narrative. Jesus Christ came to save sinners.
And if you have ever sinned, he came to save you.
I know I have sinned and come short of the
glory of God, and so I know that He came
to save me, even me, And so our innocence is restored.
Our innocence is restored when by faith we accept this.
The Bible says here in our Revelation, chapter five and
verse six. And I beheld in low, in the midst
of the throne of the four beasts, in the midst
of the elders, stood a lamb, as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. The aim.
The aim is for us to live a life of
purity and innocence by faith in Christ, reflecting the blameless
nature of Christ. An elder told me many years ago,
he said, when we don't love God, he is our savior.
When we do love God, he's our savior, but he's
also our example. He's our savior and our example, and
through the power of the Holy Ghost, he is able
to transform us and make us holy and pure, just
like Jesus lived as he lived on planet Earth. Behold
the lamb of God. He takes away your thanks for
joining us listening.
Speaker 1: Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
Make it a great day. Yeah,
