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

- 2:05Speaker 2: Amen again. So we scratched the surface of this discussion
- 2:11Speaker 2: of Isaac and God telling him commanding him to sacrifice
- 2:18Speaker 2: or to give his son as a sacrifice. And this
- 2:23Speaker 2: is at Mount Mariah from the Bible Book of Genesis,
- 2:26Speaker 2: chapter twenty two. I wish I had the time to
- 2:29Speaker 2: really deal with it, but the Bible does say that
- 2:33Speaker 2: Abraham almost said Moses, but Abraham fully believed God. He
- 2:38Speaker 2: fully went to fulfill the mission that God had given
- 2:42Speaker 2: him without regard for his own feelings, without regard for
- 2:47Speaker 2: his desire to keep his son Isaac safe and alive,
- 2:52Speaker 2: these without regard for how Siarah might consider it, or
- 2:58Speaker 2: even the men that with him. And the Bible says
- 3:02Speaker 2: that as Abraham and Isaac are on their way to
- 3:07Speaker 2: the point. Now I'm leaving out a lot, but as
- 3:10Speaker 2: they are on their way to the point of the sacrifice,
- 3:14Speaker 2: the place where they are to actually sacrifice the lamp. See,
- 3:19Speaker 2: Isaac didn't know at the beginning of the journey that
- 3:22Speaker 2: he was going to be quote the sacrifice, or that
- 3:25Speaker 2: was the intent, you see. And so now it is
- 3:28Speaker 2: time when Isaac, he's not a little baby, by the way,
- 3:32Speaker 2: he could have resisted his father. But he says, father,
- 3:37Speaker 2: I see that we have a sacrifice. And of course
- 3:41Speaker 2: by extension you would know that he is seeing that
- 3:45Speaker 2: they have the place prepared for the sacrifice, even the altar.
- 3:48Speaker 2: He says, we have the sacrifice, I mean, not the sacrifice.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I apologize. I know some people are like, what did
- 3:55Speaker 2: you just say? No, we have the place of sacrifice,
- 4:00Speaker 2: have the wood, but where is the lamb? Like, where
- 4:03Speaker 2: is the actual sacrifice? Let me say it again for
- 4:07Speaker 2: those who missed it. Isaac, who could have resisted his father,
- 4:12Speaker 2: is going up the mountain to give a sacrifice. He
- 4:16Speaker 2: doesn't know he's going to quote be the sacrifice. He
- 4:20Speaker 2: sees the place of sacrifice, the altar, he sees the
- 4:23Speaker 2: wood so that the sacrifice could be burned. He sees
- 4:27Speaker 2: everything except the most important part, the sacrifice. And then
- 4:32Speaker 2: the Bible says that Abraham said the Lord will provide
- 4:38Speaker 2: himself a sacrifice or a lamb. And the Bible says,
- 4:43Speaker 2: just as as he is, Abraham is preparing Isaac as
- 4:49Speaker 2: the sacrifice. The son is about to be the sacrifice.
- 4:53Speaker 2: I think somebody's listening to me. The son is about
- 4:56Speaker 2: to be the sacrifice. The Bible says that as Abra
- 5:00Speaker 2: is about to do wow, I don't even know how
- 5:04Speaker 2: to say it, because I don't want to be disrespectful
- 5:06Speaker 2: to God. But he is about to do what God
- 5:08Speaker 2: said to do. The Bible says that he hears a
- 5:12Speaker 2: voice from heaven, and the voice says, Abraham, do not
- 5:20Speaker 2: sacrifice your son. Don't do it. In different words, don't
- 5:24Speaker 2: do it. And then the Bible says that in the
- 5:27Speaker 2: moment that he was about to give his sacrifice. He
- 5:31Speaker 2: does hear the voice. Also he sees that there is
- 5:35Speaker 2: a ram. There is a ram that is caught in
- 5:38Speaker 2: a thicket, that's thorns or briars. So the lamb has
- 5:42Speaker 2: the thicket or briars catching its horns. Where are the
- 5:47Speaker 2: horns on its head? And on the head Now of
- 5:50Speaker 2: this this sacrifice, there is a crown, I think somebody's
- 5:55Speaker 2: listening now, a crown of thorns. And the voice says,
- 5:59Speaker 2: I have now provided. This is what the voice is
- 6:02Speaker 2: really saying. You see, when we are giving our best,
- 6:06Speaker 2: we are giving our all, it is still insufficient. And
- 6:10Speaker 2: therefore this is what makes the sacrifice Jesus Christ the
- 6:14Speaker 2: lamb so important. Behold the lamb of God which taketh
- 6:19Speaker 2: away the sins of the world. So even if Isaac
- 6:22Speaker 2: had been sacrificed, it wouldn't have served anything for anything.
- 6:28Speaker 2: No sins could have been expiated, No sins could have
- 6:31Speaker 2: been forgiven, No no forgiveness could have come as a
- 6:35Speaker 2: result of Isaac's death. But Jesus, somebody go ahead and
- 6:41Speaker 2: type in the chat. But Jesus, So, Jesus, Now the
- 6:45Speaker 2: true Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of
- 6:48Speaker 2: the world, is now being sacrificed in symbol on Mount Moriah.
- 6:55Speaker 2: So now we can see in the future that the
- 6:59Speaker 2: true Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, will be actually sacrificed
- 7:03Speaker 2: on Mount Calvary. I wish I had the time. And
- 7:06Speaker 2: so really the question, the question where is the lamb
- 7:11Speaker 2: for a burnt sacrifice sets up divine provision. And then
- 7:17Speaker 2: we see the principle of substitution, and so someone has
- 7:22Speaker 2: to die for the sin. And in this case, now
- 7:25Speaker 2: we are seeing that Jesus Christ is the only one
- 7:28Speaker 2: who is who is worthy. He's the only one whose
- 7:32Speaker 2: life is powerful enough, as he took on human form
- 7:36Speaker 2: to become the substitute. And we now have in you
- 7:41Speaker 2: in the times of God's people back then the sacradolal
- 7:44Speaker 2: system or the sacrificial system, and now they are expecting
- 7:48Speaker 2: the true Messiah who was to come. Daniel and many
- 7:52Speaker 2: of the other prophets foretold it right. And so number two,
- 7:56Speaker 2: there is a progressive revelation through the Old Testam, a
- 8:00Speaker 2: progressive revelation through the Old Testament about this same lamb,
- 8:05Speaker 2: and how this lamb becomes our ability to escape eternal condemnation.
- 8:12Speaker 2: And so we see in the Passover the Passover in
- 8:16Speaker 2: Exodus chapter twelve and verse three, take to them every
- 8:20Speaker 2: man a lamb. And then of course God teaches his
- 8:23Speaker 2: people how to apply the blood in the situation where
- 8:27Speaker 2: death was coming. Death was coming to those who were
- 8:32Speaker 2: not covered by the lamb. And so we begin to
- 8:36Speaker 2: see more. And then there is a prophetic description. In
- 8:38Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter fifty three and verse seven. He is brought
- 8:42Speaker 2: as a lamb, speaking of Jesus, but in prophetic terms,
- 8:45Speaker 2: the Messiah. He has brought as a lamb to the slaughter.
- 8:49Speaker 2: So we see a prophetic description, and then we see
- 8:53Speaker 2: the temple service, the continual burnt offering. I wish I
- 8:57Speaker 2: had the time to really deal with how that continue.
- 9:00Speaker 2: You will evening to the morning and morning to the evening.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Sacrifice really figured into this thing. We need to go
- 9:07Speaker 2: into our community and talk about it. From Numbers chapter
- 9:10Speaker 2: twenty eight and verse three. And then comes the answer,
- 9:13Speaker 2: the real answer, not the one only given on Mariah,
- 9:18Speaker 2: not just that one, but now in the voice of
- 9:22Speaker 2: John the Baptist, behold the lamb of God which taketh
- 9:25Speaker 2: away the sins of the world. And finally, finally, the
- 9:30Speaker 2: revelation and the revelation and Revelation, chapter five and verse twelve.
- 9:34Speaker 2: The only one worthy to open up the seals that
- 9:38Speaker 2: were represented there is the Lamb of God. Why because
- 9:42Speaker 2: He gave himself for us. Take it a great day.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
- 9:50Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
- 9:53Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
- 9:57Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
