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
00:00:15,240 --> 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
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, September seventeen,

11
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:40,479
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,920
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,960
where we give you God's Word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:49,679
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,240
study series through the Book of Mark and our caption

16
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:57,359
for today is the Crucifixion. The Crucifixion. We'll get into

17
00:00:57,439 --> 00:00:59,000
that in just a moment, but first I'd like to

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,840
say welcome to you and ask you to please go

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,120

00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,519
online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book and

00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,560
let us know where you are in the world. At

22
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:13,439
your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the

23
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:18,200
ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,519
go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,

25
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,120
We thank you for this day. Thank you for giving

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,319
us Jesus. Thank you for not giving up on the

27
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:33,120
process of saving us. Thank You for doing what we

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,879
could not possibly do in order to deliver us from

29
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:39,159
ourselves and the enemy bother. I just pray now that

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,560
you will transform somebody's life today, beginning with me. Transform us, Father,

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,560
so that we will choose today for the last time,

32
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:51,079
for the final time, that we will serve you with

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200
everything that we have and everything that we are. We're

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,959
living in the last Day's God, and so your power

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680
is present in the way that we've never seen before,

36
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:03,200
to hear, heel, and to deliver and to make us holy.

37
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:07,040
Please help us to accept this power in Jesus name.

38
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:12,199
I pray, Amen and Amen again the Crucifixion. There is

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,280
so much to say, so little time, but I just

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,360
want to say, thank God, thank God for loving us.

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,080
I mean, if you believe that God loves you and

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,919
you are grateful, I need you to type in the

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,240
chat thank God. I need you to type in the

44
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:32,240
chat thank God, because listen to see what Jesus went

45
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,639
through just to save us. I'm thinking, couldn't there have

46
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,199
been another pathway? But then again, Jesus said the same

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,560
thing when he was in the garden of get seventy

48
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:45,400
and he was like, Father, please just reveal, like, reveal

49
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:49,039
the pathway to success in this regard? Could you find

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,919
another way?

51
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Like?

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,599
Speaker 2: Is there another way for this mission to save people

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
from their sins? Is there another way to do this?

54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Then he said, nevertheless, not as thy will, but as

55
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:06,319
thou willed. And so now we see that Jesus resigned

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,039
himself to go through right through to the bitter end,

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,159
to deliver people who many times didn't even love him.

58
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,639
In return, God, help us, help us to surrender to you.

59
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:22,599
We read now in the Book of Mark, chapter fifteen,

60
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:24,840
beginning at verse twenty one. This needs to be a

61
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:28,360
worship setting. Brothers and sisters. I'm not teaching you anything.

62
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,400
You're learning from the Holy Ghost how to yield your

63
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,560
will to God. In this very moment, he is bringing

64
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:39,479
before you the scenes of the crucifixion, the scenes of

65
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:43,439
Jesus giving himself so that you can live eternally, so

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,719
that you will no longer be bound to abuse. You

67
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:49,520
will never be bound again to the rum bottle. You

68
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,800
don't have to be bound again to substance abuse. You

69
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,879
don't have to be bound to a criminal mindset. You

70
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,479
don't have to be bound to looking at yourself as

71
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:02,560
less than you can. Know that you are King's kids, royalty,

72
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,039
a royal and holy priesthood in generation, that God has

73
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,919
called you out of the darkness into this marvelous light.

74
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,800
He's giving us the privilege to do this together in

75
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:17,040
real time four minutes after the beginning of this broadcast.

76
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,360
This is a place of holiness. This is Bethel. This

77
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,439
is the house of God in this moment, if you

78
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,720
are receiving him. In verse twenty one, the Bible says,

79
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,160
and they compel one Simon, a Sirenian who passed by

80
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:35,839
coming out of the country. See, they are actually taking

81
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:41,000
Jesus to Galgatha in order to actually crucify him. And

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,839
so they see this dude's Simon, And then it says,

83
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,360
the father of Alexander and rufus to bear the cross.

84
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:50,680
Are you willing to bear your cross? Brothers and sisters?

85
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:51,519
Speaker 1: Huh?

86
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: Verse twenty two, And they bring him unto the place Galgatha,

87
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,480
which is being interpreted the place of the skull. And

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,160
they gave him to drink wine mingled with merr but

89
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,240
he received it not see. Jesus knew that even though

90
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,600
they gave people these kinds of things to benumb their sensibilities,

91
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:16,000
and for whatever weird reason, they're about to murder people

92
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,720
on or or meet out justice on people. It just

93
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:23,680
depends on who's up there. But they're about to crucify people,

94
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,040
and now they're trying to give them something to palliate them,

95
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,199
to ease the pain. That's weird. But Jesus said, no,

96
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,879
I'm not going to accept anything, especially not an inebriant.

97
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,560
I'm not going to accept anything to dull the pain.

98
00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:40,120
I'm going to trust God, my father, and I'm going

99
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:43,560
to drink to the bitter dregs everything that I have

100
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,199
to drink in order. And when I say drink, I'm

101
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:51,600
saying proverbially symbolically, in order for you brothers and sisters,

102
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,519
for me to be saved. I thank God. And he

103
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,600
said no, no, I'm not receiving that. Verse twenty four.

104
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,519
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,

105
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,279
what casting lots upon them ah, what every man should take.

106
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,199
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him,

107
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,439
and the superscription of his accusation was written over him,

108
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,600
the King of the Jews. Of all things that they

109
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:23,000
could have accused Jesus of, of all things that could

110
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,240
have been he could have been guilty of. This is

111
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,759
all they could come up with. That was the accusation.

112
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,560
And for this you beat and scourged him. For this,

113
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,759
you hit him in the head with a stick for this,

114
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,680
You put a crown of thorns on his head on

115
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,560
for this, you stab him in the side for this,

116
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,600
you rip out his beard. For this, you mock him

117
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:50,560
and take him from mock trial to mock trial, and

118
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:56,160
make up false accusations for this, for this verse twenty seven.

119
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,519
And when they crucify two thieves, one was on his

120
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,160
right hand, and then the other on his left. And

121
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,120
the scripture was fulfilled, which said he was numbered with

122
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,680
the transgressors. And they that passed by railed him, wagging

123
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:16,240
their heads and saying, ah, thou that destroyest the temple.

124
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:18,560
See I don't even want to read this, brothers and sisters,

125
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,279
but this is the record. You destroyed the temple and

126
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,879
buildes did in three days, save thyself. Come down from

127
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,399
the cross. You see, if Jesus had saved himself, you

128
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,879
would have been lost, my dear brother. If Jesus had

129
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,000
saved himself, you would have been lost. My dear sister.

130
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,879
If Jesus would have saved himself, my son Josiah would

131
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,240
have been lost. My wife Simone would have been lost.

132
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:46,000
I would have been lost. Jesus chose to save us

133
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,639
rather than to save himself, and the Bible continues. The

134
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Bible continues, yeah verse thirty one. Likewise, also the chief priests,

135
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:00,680
these are supposed to be God's people, leaders of God's people,

136
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:03,560
mocking and set among themselves with the scribes. He saved

137
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,199
others himself, he cannot save. Let Jesus, the King of Israel,

138
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,879
descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. See.

139
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:19,279
If Jesus's miracles, if Jesus's kind heartedness, if Jesus speaking

140
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,199
directly to their needs, Jesus relieving their oppression, Jesus coming

141
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,240
into their lives and transforming people all around them, was

142
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,080
not sufficient to convert these people. They were lying and

143
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,279
wicked at that moment when they said, if he just

144
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,080
does one more thing, then we will serve him. Brothers

145
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,639
and sisters, we need to be honest with ourselves and

146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,000
honest with God. If God is good, then serve him now.

147
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,000
That's what I'm saying. I'm talking about at nine minutes

148
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,519
after the hour, eight minutes roughly after the hour, I

149
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,679
am saying that if God is good, then worship him now,

150
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:54,600
do not write him a prescription. If you will just

151
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,759
do this for me, then I'll worship you. If you'll

152
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,039
just do that for me, then I'll worship you. If

153
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,039
you'll relieve me this suffering, if you will deliver my

154
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,919
husband my wife of their disease, then I will worship you.

155
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,279
Putting conditions on the power and love of God. Worship

156
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,440
God because he's worthy right now in twenty twenty four,

157
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,840
on September seventeen, Jesus is worthy of our worship at minimum,

158
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,240
worship him today. And the Bible says that it was

159
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:24,960
the sixth hour. It was the sixth hour. They were

160
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,440
reviling him. It was the sixth hour, and their darkness

161
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,039
came over the whole land, and then until the ninth hour. Then,

162
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,039
of course Jesus cried out to his father, why have

163
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,240
you forsaken me? What a terrible thing, But Jesus he

164
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,240
did it for us. Worship him peace.

165
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

166
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

167
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
