03 03 2026 Nailed to the Cross · 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.

• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Nailed to the Cross. We'll get into that in just
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a moment, but first I'd like to say welcome to

  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pray and get underway. Father, we thank
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you for this day. Thank you for nailing the things
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that were against us to the cross. Thank you for
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: giving us the privilege of living living with your power. Today.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Please help us to accept Jesus in the fullness. In
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. So I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: want to super simplify, but not oversimplify our discussion for today,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: first with a question, does your understanding of the Cross
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: or what Jesus did as our sacrifice on the Cross
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: lead you to freedom from condemnation while strengthening your loyalty
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to God's law. This is a very pointed question. I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: calling it a heart check. Does your understanding of salvation
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: through Christ lead you to freedom from condemnation? So we're
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: not afraid of an angry God in air quotes. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: think back in December we talked about like the view
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: of God as the angry God. That's not the reality.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That's not the reality. He's not there just looking for
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: somebody to destroy. But does your understanding of what God
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: has done for us through Christ lead you to freedom
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: from condemnation? Hold that right there, stick a pin while
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: strengthening you to loyalty to his law. You see, sometimes
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: people throw the law out because they say that Jesus
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: delivers us from condemnation. And it's like, no, you, like
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you completely missed the point. Jesus would not. He would
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: not he would not have died, He wouldn't have needed
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to die on the cross. If the law could be
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: just thrown away or changed somehow, the Ten Commandments law
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: still stands. Therefore, Jesus gave his life as as satisfying
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the standard. Because humans broke the law, humans trampled the law, well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: somebody has to die for that. The soul that sins
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: must die. Why because the law, the law, like the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: transgression of the law, is what sin is. And so
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: when we are delivered from condemnation, when we are in Christ,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: now we are empowered to actually do what God said,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: like Jesus did. Okay, And so I'm reading from Review
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and Herald eighteen seventy five. The law of ten Commandments
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: was not abolished at the cross. Was What was removed
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: was the system of rights and ceremonies that pointed forward
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to Christ. And so what was nailed to the cross
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: was not the Ten Commandments law. That wouldn't even make sense.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't make sense. It's the transcript of God's character.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It's the standard of right ta sciousness. What was nailed
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to the cross, what was removed at the time of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Jesus giving his life for us, was that sacerdotal as
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the theologians call it, the Sacerdotal system, the system of sacrifices, rites,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and ceremonies, the shadows, the types that pointed forward to Jesus,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: because he is the genuine article. So if you go
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and try to sacrifice a lamb today, or a goat
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: or a bullock today, in order to somehow expiate your sin,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you are what rejecting Jesus Christ, and that is not
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: what we want as believers. We accept Christ and we
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: say okay, bye by shadows, Bye bye types, Bye bye priests.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Bye bye high priests, like bye by all of these
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: things that people put in the way of Christ. Yeah, Okay,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: before I get too passionate, let me read one more
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: The Desire of Ages, page one hundred and sixty five.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: We read the ceremonial system made up of symbols pointing
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to Christ, to his sacrifice and his priesthood. When Christ died,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: what is the timeline on this thing? When Christ died,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the symbols met their fulfillment. Jesus came to fulfill the law.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: What law the law of ceremonies and sacrifices. I'll leave
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that right where it is, and we'll continue with our
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: lesson Number one Colossian, Chapter two and verse fourteen. He
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: in decrees opposed us. He has taken it away by
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: nailing it to the cross. Paul identifies something that stood
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: against us and condemned us. The language fits legal and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: legal indebtedness and ceremonial regulations tied to guilt and separation,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: not the Ten Commandments law. God's law defines sin. The
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Ten Commandments law defines sin. Okay, The cross addresses sin's penalty.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I said that in an impassioned way a little bit earlier.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And the system that symbolized separation not the moral standard
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that reveals God in his character. And so and so,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: what I want you to do is, while you study
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: through Colossians chapter two by yourself with the Holy Ghost,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I want you to reject teachings, teachings that weaken obedience
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: by misusing the cross. The Cross of Christ his sacrifice
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: does not say that we can now kill murder. It
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: does not say that we can now commit adultery. It
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: doesn't legalize lying. It does not legalize sabbath breaking, the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: seventh day Sabbath breaking. It does not legalize. The cross
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: does not legalize coveteousness. The cross does not legalize disrespecting
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and dishonoring our parents. The Cross does not make it
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: legal for us to have other gods before God. Do
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you understand where we're going with this? That's how crazy
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it sounds when people say that Jesus nailed the Ten
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Commandments to the cross. It's like, what, that doesn't make sense.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It's not now legal to have other gods before God.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: It is not now legal to bow down ourselves to
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: them and serve them. It doesn't make God not jealous anymore,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you understand, so reject that and ask God like, how
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: can how can you please deepen my gratitude and commitment
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to the Holy standard of righteousness, which is the law
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: through having salvation in Christ, my God. I don't have
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that kind of time. Let me go on to lesson
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: number two. True circumcision is an inner transformation. When you
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: read in Colossians two and verse eleven about circumcision, even
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: back in the Old Testament when Moses wrote about it,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: he wrote about the circumcision of the heart to love
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the Lord our God. And so circumcision as a ceremony
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: or a rite has been nullified. In Jesus Christ. He
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: wants us to have the inner transformation to love the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Lord our God with everything we have and everything we are.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Circumcision of the heart. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
