05 06 2025 The Passover Lamb · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: online community. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: will we'll get underway. Father in heaven, thank you for
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: giving us this new day and for the opportunity, the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: privilege we have to come into your presence. Please help
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: us to become living sacrifices wholly and acceptable unto God,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: which is our reasonable service. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: A men and a man again, So much to say,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: so little time. Let's jump down to near the bottom
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of the lesson to this quote that is very interesting
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: in my mind. It describes Jesus as a covenant keeper
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: or the covenant keeper. Okay, Jesus became the last atom
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: in quotes based on First Corinthians, chapter fifteen and verse
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: forty five. Where he had failed, he where we had failed.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Where we had failed, Jesus never failed. He lived perfectly
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: in his humanity. He was everything the human race was
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: supposed to be. You see, God made a covenant with us.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: He made a covenant with us. So many different details,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: but the bottom line is we broke every kind of
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: covenant that God made with us. But Jesus as the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: representative of the human race, when he took on human form,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ actually fulfilled even the human side of the covenant.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Not only is he the lamb that seals this covenant,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: not only is he the god of the universe who
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: is making covenant. But he says, because you keep falling short,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do something special and miraculous. Take on
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: human form, and inhuman form, keep covenant as a human being,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: so that even the humans can receive the blessing of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the covenant. I wish I had the time. Okay, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: so and so, the lesson writer continues. He reflected God's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: glory perfectly, so we know that part. But again he
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: also represented the human race perfectly. The Bible says here
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in John chapter fourteen and verse nine, if you have
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: seen me, this is what Jesus told Philip. You have
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: seen the Father. So I'm seeing Jesus here as the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: ultimate covenant keeper. Oh God, this is so good. This
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: is so good. So now let's jump into the lesson
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit more deeply. Okay, and we go to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: First Corinthians chapter five and verse seven. Don't worry about
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: my camera blinking. It's hot in here. Somehow it's blinking, blinking, blinking.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: But the Bible reads, for even Christ, our passover is
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: sacrificed for us. Okay, And so we'll read in a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: second from the Bible book of Exodus in the Old Testament,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the day of Passover one, the one I shouldn't say
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: original one, but the one that the people kept going
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: back to in their minds as a reference point, was
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the time that God decided that he would preserve his
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: people as long as they, by faith, applied the blood
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to their lives. I'm not going to give you the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: details like you can read it in Exodus chapter twelve,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: but you can go back and do that. But when
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the people by faith did exactly what God said and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: applied the blood of the Lamb in the way that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: he prescribed God's people, and anybody who aligned themselves with
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: God's people in that moment were protected from sudden and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: actual death. The death angel passed over the houses where
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the people by faith were listening, listening to what God
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: said about the lamb. Okay. And so this is the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: love that God God has given us because Jesus Christ
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: became the sacrifice that made all of this actually make sense.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And so we read now from Exodus chapter twelve and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: verse seven, and the Bible reads, and they shall take
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the blood and strike it on the two side posts,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: so that's the literal practical, and on the upper door
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: post of the houses wherein they shall eat. And so
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the lesson for us is that we trust in God's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: provision and his protection. We trust in His provision and protection,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: believing that faith in Jesus Christ's sacrifice brings us protection
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and deliverance, deliverance from eternal damnation, deliverance from eternal separation
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: from God, deliverance even in our daily lives, deliverance from
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the doubts that some people have. Is God listening to me.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Of course he's listening to you. Having faith in Christ
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and applying his power to our lives by faith gives
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: us the ability to say, yes, God, I know you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: listening to me. I'm in a dark time. I'm not
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: having the time of my life at this moment. I've
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: lost loved ones. I'm not having the time of my
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: life at this moment because the month is longer than
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the money. I'm not having the time of my life
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: at this moment because my children seem to have lost
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: their way. The Bible is showing us that when we
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: apply the blood, or allow God to apply the blood
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to our lives, that is the sacrifice of Jesus to
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: our lives, then everything we need he will supply. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time. And we go now to Isaiah,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: chapter fifty three and verse seven. The Bible reads, he
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: was oppressed. Jesus was oppressed, and he was afflicted. Yet
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: he opened not his mouth. He is brought as a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: is dumb. So he opened not his mouth. And so
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: we appreciate and live in the freedom of redemption that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus provides. Are you grateful that Jesus provides freedom? In Christ?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: There is liberty with this, He frees us from the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: bondage of sin. Ultimately, this is what we're really talking about. Like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: we don't have to tiptoe around it, We don't have
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to change the narrative. Jesus Christ came to save sinners.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And if you have ever sinned, he came to save you.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I know I have sinned and come short of the
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: glory of God, and so I know that He came
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to save me, even me, And so our innocence is restored.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Our innocence is restored when by faith we accept this.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: The Bible says here in our Revelation, chapter five and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: verse six. And I beheld in low, in the midst
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of the throne of the four beasts, in the midst
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: of the elders, stood a lamb, as it had been slain,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. The aim.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: The aim is for us to live a life of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: purity and innocence by faith in Christ, reflecting the blameless
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: nature of Christ. An elder told me many years ago,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: he said, when we don't love God, he is our savior.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: When we do love God, he's our savior, but he's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: also our example. He's our savior and our example, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: through the power of the Holy Ghost, he is able
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: to transform us and make us holy and pure, just
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: like Jesus lived as he lived on planet Earth. Behold
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the lamb of God. He takes away your thanks for
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: This has been your daily portion with El David Harris.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Yeah,
