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 --> 00:00:19,199
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 --> 00:00:27,399
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 --> 00:00:33,039

10
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Monday, March ten,

11
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:39,679
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:42,119
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,280
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,679
today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson

15
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:52,640
study series God's Love and Justice, and our caption for

16
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:57,200
today is the just and the Justifier. We'll get into

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,640
that in just a moment. I know that sounds really

18
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,240
theol logical, and it is, but we'll make it simple.

19
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:04,439
But we'll get into that in just a moment. But

20
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:06,359
first i'd like to say welcome to you and ask

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,760

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,640
and pray, and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven.

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,959
Thank you for giving us this new day. Thank you

34
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:54,239
for loving us more than we can even believe. Thank

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,879
you for giving us the privilege of being cleansed by

36
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,879
you in Jesus name. Amen, and a man again, the

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,560
just and the Justifier. Okay, so let me explain this

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,080
one more again, like one more time I shared it

39
00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:17,240
quickly with you the other day. But God being just

40
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:23,520
and the Justifier means that all of us have sinned

41
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,560
and come short of the glory of God. The wages

42
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:35,400
of sin is eternal death. So anybody who sins must

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,280
die like eternal death penalty. We're not talking about you know,

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,919
like what humans go through on planet Earth. My mother

45
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:48,560
has passed away. She passed away in a tragic car

46
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:53,680
accident in twenty twenty. That is not what we're talking about,

47
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,479
as tragic as it is, as disruptive to us as

48
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,599
it was how much we missed her. That is, that

49
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,039
is not the wages of sin. That is something that

50
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,719
we see as a result of sin. Yes, but people

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,120
who die like that or in other ways, all are

52
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,240
going to be raised one way or the other, some

53
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:19,960
unto everlasting life, some unto condemnation. Okay, And so the

54
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,439
wages of sin is death actually means that whoever sins

55
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:31,080
should die the second death eternal separation from God and

56
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:36,960
the burning happens in hell until that life is extinguished.

57
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:41,000
This is what happens after the thousand years following the

58
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:44,680
coming of Jesus Christ. Okay, so that's what we're talking about. Ah,

59
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,319
But there's a problem. There's a problem. God loves us

60
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,120
so much. I know, I said problem. I know what

61
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:51,919
I just said. God loves us so much, so much

62
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:56,560
that what that he could not stand to watch us die.

63
00:03:56,719 --> 00:04:01,560
So what happens Jesus Christ becomes our substitute. He takes

64
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:05,120
on human flesh. This is why what we call the incarnation,

65
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,199
or Jesus taking on human flesh, becoming like a human

66
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,520
being living on planet Earth. He was born unto Mary

67
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,639
right the power of the Holy Ghost overshadows her. She

68
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,680
bears him in nine months just like normal. And he

69
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,959
is the son of God. And yet he comes through Mary.

70
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,480
And so as a human being, Jesus Christ bears the

71
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:35,680
punishment that we deserve. He becomes our substitute. Just like

72
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,319
the Old Testament writers would have shown us in the sanctuary.

73
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:46,560
All of those innocent animals were representative of taking our punishment.

74
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,040
But Jesus, the real Lamb of God, which taketh the

75
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:54,199
way the sins of the world. He now becomes our substitute.

76
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,639
He takes our punishment, and then he takes up his

77
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,959
life again and is of course in his glorified self again,

78
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,199
and he will live throughout eternity. He has given to

79
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,959
us that life as a gift. So that means that

80
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,600
the punishment that we deserve, he becomes our substitute. If

81
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,920
we have faith in him, then we can be justified.

82
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:26,199
He can be just He punishes sin, and he can

83
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,519
justify us, meaning he can look at us as if

84
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,439
we never sinned, how can he do that? Now we

85
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,639
can have on the righteousness of Christ. So when the

86
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:44,399
law sees me, he it sees you. The law sees me,

87
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,600
the law sees you. But now we are covered in

88
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,759
the righteousness of Christ. The judgment don't gavel down. Is innocent,

89
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:57,079
not just not guilty. I wish I had the time

90
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,199
innocent why because Jesus was in his Did you did

91
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:03,360
you follow all of that? I know we're trying to

92
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:07,360
cram so much goodness into a couple of minutes. You're

93
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:10,560
gonna you're gonna need to pray and rewind this, Okay,

94
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,600
And so the lesson writer actually wants us to read

95
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,000
from the Bible Book of Romans, chapter three, uh, and

96
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,480
beginning at verse twenty three, Let's see how much we

97
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,199
can we can get. Actually, you know what, let me

98
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,920
let me go go quicker quicker. Romans Chapter five and

99
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,399
verse eight encapsulates it. The Bible reads God commendeth his

100
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,879
love toward us in that while we were yet sinners,

101
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,480
Christ died for us. So I'm not gonna explain that further.

102
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:45,879
It's what I just said in a little bit more.

103
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,040
And so these passages both the one I didn't read,

104
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,439
and this one reveal number one, the universal problem of sin.

105
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:56,879
All of us have sinned. Of course, the devil and

106
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,360
his angels have sinned, but they their chances, so they

107
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,279
can't be saved, but we can be saved. The universal

108
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:10,800
problem of sin. God's solution through Christ's death and resurrection, Yes,

109
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:16,519
and his ministry in heaven. The public display of God's

110
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:20,839
righteousness because he died on the cross and it was

111
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:24,519
well documented, like people saw this, and of course now

112
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,160
we still talk about it based on the Bible, the

113
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,439
demonstration of God's love he gave us Jesus Christ. And finally,

114
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,360
the perfect balance of justice and mercy. God is just.

115
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:45,920
He's righteous. Yes, the sinner must die, but his mercy

116
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:51,399
sees the death of Jesus Christ on our behalf as payment.

117
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,040
He represents the human race here and as payment for

118
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,519
the death penalty we deserve. Jesus paid it all, just

119
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,920
like the hymn writer wrote. You see, I'm so grateful.

120
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:08,120
There's so much here. I know we don't have enough

121
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000
time to cover it all. The lesson writer also wants

122
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:15,079
us to read from Genesis chapter three, verse fifteen and

123
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:19,360
Revelation chapter twelve. Verses ten through twelve. I'll just read

124
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:22,360
the first one. In Genesis, chapter three and verse fifteen,

125
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:26,959
the Bible reads, and I will put hostility or enmity

126
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:31,439
between you and the woman, and between your offspring and

127
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,600
her offspring. Her offspring will crush your head. So he's

128
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,919
speaking directly to the devil who's using the serpent as

129
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:48,200
a puppet, and you will bruise his heel. So Jesus

130
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,399
is going to crush the head of Satan. And Satan

131
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,559
is going to nip at the heels of Jesus. While

132
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,639
he lived on planet Earth, he nipped at his heels.

133
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,480
He nips at the heels of the people who are

134
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,360
God's people, God's chill, and he nips at the heel.

135
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,320
But Christ in Us, the hope of Glory, finally crushes

136
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:10,679
the head of Satan. And so this connection, the connection

137
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:15,679
between the two that we would have read, shows that

138
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:20,440
number one, the prophecy in Genesis, is a fulfillment in

139
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:24,919
Christ's victory of prophecy. Right the number two, the Cross

140
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,879
dealt a fatal blow to Satan, crushed his head. Number three,

141
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:33,639
victory is secured through the blood of the Lamb. For

142
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,080
Satan's time now is limited because of God's decisive victory,

143
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,879
and we finally overcome him by the blood of the Lamb.

144
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:44,960
Make it a great day.

145
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

146
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

147
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

148
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
