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
00:00:15,199 --> 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
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Monday, September nine,

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,719
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.

12
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:43,320
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:46,079
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:49,200
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,960
study series through the Book of Mark, and our caption

16
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:57,079
for today is the Last Supper. The Last Supper. We'll

17
00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:59,119
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd

18
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:00,759
like to say welcome to you and ask you to

19
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:03,719
please go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,040
join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book,

21
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:10,680
and let us know where you are in the world.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,879
At your Daily Portion dot Com. This is one of

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,959
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

24
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:21,439
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underwaigh.

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,400
Father and Heaven. Thank you for giving us this new

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,840
day and for the privilege that we have to open

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,959
up your word. And I'm asking you please please open

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,680
up our understanding. Teach us your will, teach us how

29
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:36,799
to do your will. And I pray God that we

30
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:39,920
will be so connected with you that we will never

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,159
betray you. We will never betray you. We will always

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,439
be with you until Jesus comes in Jesus name. I

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,159
pray Amen and amen again the Last Supper. Okay, And

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,319
so now we begin in verse twenty two of Mark

35
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,120
chapter fourteen. Actually we are continuing. We're learning so many

36
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:04,760
lessons as we simply read through the Bible. This is

37
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:07,159
one of the ways that when I am teaching youth,

38
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:10,439
when I used to teach youth Bible classes at different places,

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,080
we would just simply walk through the scriptures and see

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,800
and experience what was happening and what God was saying

41
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:21,080
to us and how we should live as a result.

42
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,879
And so I do like this approach a lot. And

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,400
so we now go to verse twenty two, Mark chapter

44
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,479
fourteen and the Bible reads were in the last Supper

45
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:33,800
scenario for those who are just coming on and the

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,280
Bible reads. And as they did eat, Jesus took the bread. Remember,

47
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,560
Jesus is the bread of life. You read in John

48
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,719
chapter six that Jesus is the manna that was to

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,840
come down from heaven, not just the food that was

50
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,759
in the wilderness that God provided. The people ate it

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,960
and then they died. Jesus is the true bread of life.

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
We don't live by human or earthly bread alone, but

53
00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:04,800
by every word that comes from the mouth of God,

54
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,479
every word of God. Jesus also is the word. So

55
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,199
this is how we get our sustenance. And so Jesus

56
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,400
now is taking up this symbolic bread, and he blessed,

57
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:17,840
and he break it and gave to them and said,

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,319
take eat, this is my body. And he took the cup.

59
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,159
And when he had given thanks, he gave it to

60
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,360
them and they drank it. They drank it. So he

61
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:32,400
gives them a cup of grape juice. They share this

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,080
grape juice that is unfermented. They are eating this bread

63
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,360
that doesn't have any yeast in it or any other

64
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:43,479
leavening because there is a symbol here. This is representing

65
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,159
the broken body of Jesus Christ that was given for us.

66
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:50,919
It is representing the spilt blood of Jesus Christ that

67
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,919
was poured out for us. And so there has to

68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,960
be purity, no fermentation, no leavening. And now the symbol

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,919
is firmly in place verse twenty four, and he said,

70
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,360
unto them, this is my blood of the New Testament

71
00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:10,759
or the New Covenant. Some of you didn't realize that

72
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,479
the term Testament and covenant are the same. And so Jesus,

73
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,319
he said, he promised in the Prophet's Book of Jeremiah

74
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,319
that he would write his laws in our hearts and

75
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:27,240
on our minds, so that his laws would become a

76
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,519
part of us. This is the new covenant that he

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,160
makes with the House of Israel after those days. And

78
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:38,199
so now symbolically we see this blood is the ceiling

79
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:41,879
of the new Covenant or Testament, so that we know

80
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,920
that he will keep his promise, that the transcript of

81
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:48,240
his character will be fulfilled in the lives of people

82
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:52,079
who live in submission to his will, okay, and will

83
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,079
be shed for many Verse twenty five. Verily, verily, I say,

84
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,920
unto you, I will drink no more the fruit of

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,920
the vine until the day that I drink it new

86
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,560
with you in the kingdom. Now I'm looking at a

87
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,120
promise here. I'm looking at a promise here. I'm looking

88
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,160
at a promise that reminds me of what he said,

89
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,680
and as recorded in John chapter fourteen, he said, I

90
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,279
will come again and receive you unto myself. After I

91
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:24,279
have prepared a place for you. I'm going to come back,

92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,439
and I'm going to receive you unto myself. That where

93
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,360
I am there ye may be also. And so Jesus

94
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,720
is implying very clearly here that I'm going to drink

95
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,839
of this fruit of the vine again. I'm going to

96
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:41,160
drink again, but I'm not going to do it until

97
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,480
I fulfill my promise that is a fulfillment or a

98
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:47,839
manifestation of this new covenant. I am not going to

99
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:51,680
drink this again until you come into the kingdom where

100
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,560
I will be. Until you come into the kingdom, until

101
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,839
you have overcome, and I grant you to sit in

102
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,680
my father's throne, even as I have overcome and am

103
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:05,759
set in my father's throne. I'm not going to drink

104
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:10,279
this until you have overcome all of your besetting sins,

105
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:14,199
where you are no longer burdened. You're no longer burdened

106
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:17,360
by lying, You're no longer burdened by pride. You are

107
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:20,160
no longer burdened by trying to figure out where your

108
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,199
next meal is going to come from. You're no longer

109
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,600
burdened by any earthly human body disease, you are no

110
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,439
longer burdened by doubts about whether God or your family

111
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,040
loves you. You will be full overcomers. And once you

112
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,600
are full overcomers, and I open up the kingdom, the

113
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,160
physical geographic kingdom that's in heaven. Once I open that

114
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,319
up to you, that's when we're gonna drink together again.

115
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,399
And I thank God because I see the promise and

116
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:53,160
I'm looking forward to it. Every time you drink unfermented

117
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,839
grape juice, hopefully that's the only kind of grape juice

118
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:58,800
you're drinking. I wish I had the time. But once

119
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:02,319
you are drinking that your juice from the grape, I

120
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:05,439
want you to think about Jesus and what he has

121
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,879
done for all of us, the Bible says in verse

122
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,399
twenty six, And when they had sung and him, this

123
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:16,759
is a worship setting everybody. This is a celebration. When

124
00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:20,279
they had sung a hymn, they went out into the

125
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,639
Mount of Olives. You see, they had already resolved their sin,

126
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,759
challenges those who did it by faith. When they washed

127
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:31,160
each other's feet, Jesus really washed their feet. I wish

128
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,639
I had the time, I said, washed each other's But

129
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,439
really that was wishful thinking. Jesus washed their feet. And

130
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:41,160
then the Bible teaches us that that is a manifestation

131
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:46,720
or a symbol of our cleansing. Yes, a symbol of

132
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:51,279
our cleansing. And now having been cleansed, we can come

133
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:54,160
into this fellowship by eating of the bread of life

134
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,040
and drinking of the symbol, the symbol of Jesus's spilt

135
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,600
blood for us. Now they have sung the hymn, and

136
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:04,279
they went out to the Mount of Olives, and Jesus said,

137
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,120
unto them all, ye shall be offended because of me.

138
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,920
That means they're going to run away, They're going to

139
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,879
leave him, They're going to turn their backs on God

140
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,920
for that moment because of me. This night, or is

141
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:19,959
it written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep

142
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,519
shall be scattered. But after that I am risen, I

143
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,000
will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said, unto him,

144
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,279
although all shall be offended, although all shall be offended,

145
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:41,840
yet will I not be offended? And Jesus saith unto him.

146
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,159
Verily I say unto THEE that this day, even in

147
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:50,919
this night, before the cock crow, twice thou shalt deny

148
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,279
me thrice. But when he spoke more vehemently, if I

149
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,519
should die with THEE, I will not deny THEE in

150
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,960
any way. Likewise, also said they all. Let me just

151
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,039
say this, Jesus loves us so much. And you want

152
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,720
to say, well, how much does he love us? Jesus

153
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,399
loves us so much that he chose those disciples, the

154
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:18,480
eleven disciples. He chose them the one that had the devil,

155
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,080
had a devil Judas, that's a different discussion. I wish

156
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,639
I had the time. But he chose those men knowing

157
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,320
exactly what they would do. They would forsake him and flee.

158
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:29,960
But he also knew that he would keep his end

159
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,159
of the bargain, he would keep the covenant, and they

160
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:36,919
would be transformed. So in this moment we see them

161
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,440
in weakness, but finally we see the covenant manifest in

162
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,039
their lives of triumphant submission to God's will, and that

163
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:45,159
could be your testimony.

164
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

165
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

166
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

167
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
