09 21 2024 The Risen Lord · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.

  Speaker 2: final week lesson number thirteen in our lesson study series,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the Book of Mark, and our caption for today is
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the Risen Lord, The Risen Lord. We'll get into that
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in just a moment, but first I'd like to say
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: welcome to you and ask you to please go over
• 1:05

• 1:14
  Speaker 2: then we can continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pray and then get underway. Fie, Father,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: thank you for this Sabbath morning. Thank you for the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: power of the resurrection. Thank you for not leaving us
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: down here to our own devices, but giving us the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: power to overcome any kind of sin. Father, in Jesus' name,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: please teach us how to serve you well in all things.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. You
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: know I'm here thinking. I didn't intend to do this,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: but I was thinking while I was getting ready to pray.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Based on our caption for today, there is that hymn
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: in the Hymnal number one hundred sixty six Christ the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Lord has Risen Today by Charles Wesley. Charles Wesley, Christ
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the Lord has Risen today. Allelujah, Sons of men and angels, say, Hallelujah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Raise your joys and triumphs high. Hallelujah. Sing ye heavens
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and earthly reply, Hallelujah. Lives again, lives again, our glorious King. Hallelujah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Where oh death is now thy sting once he died
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: our souls to save, Where thy victory boasting grave loves
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: redeeming work is done, fought, the fight, the battle won,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Death in vain forbids him rise. Christ has opened paradise.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Sore we now where Christ has led followed our exalted Head.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Make like him, made like him, like him, We rise ours, cross,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the grave, the skies. Hallelujah. I love how mister Wesley.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Minister Wesley gave us this him. It's a classic hymn
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: for every for every religious body under Christendom, including us.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm grateful because it gives us a reason to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: worship God, a reason to praise him. Did you get
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that last part? Made like him, like him, We rise ours,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the cross, the grave, the skies. Whatever Jesus went through
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: for our good, he went through for our good meaning
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: meaning because he raised on the first day. Yes, that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning. He he, he's alive like he. He woke
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: up that Sunday morning with power in his hands, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: keys of hell, death in the grave in his hands.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Also the key to that liquor bottle that you used
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to be like, the keys to that financial challenge that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you thought you could ever you could never overcome. He
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: has the keys to that. He has the keys to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: that abusive relationship that you were not able in times
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: past to break away from, but now you are able
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to because Jesus has risen. And it doesn't just put
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: us in a position where we see what he has experienced,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but what we can experience this Sabbath morning today. There
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: are things that you have doubts about where God is
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: concerned that he can resolve those doubts. Yes, your faith
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is waning because life is not going in the way
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that you intended for it to go, or you thought
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that you desired. But God, because Christ is risen, because
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: he has all power in his hands. Because we look
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: forward to Jesus being enthroned as King of kings and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Lord of lords one day we will see it with
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: our own eyes. We can see with our own eyes
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: today that same power to deliver us from every besetting sin,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: every doubt, every weakness. We can have that today. Why,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: because Christ our Lord has risen. Because Christ our Lord
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: is risen. And so we go to the Bible Book
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of Mark. I'm preaching, but now we need to teach
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Mark chapter sixteen and verse six, and the Bible reads
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and he said to them, do not be alarmed. This
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is the angel that is at the tomb where Jesus
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: was dead, but now he's alive. Don't be alarmed. You
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: seek Jesus of Nazareth. And my question is like, why
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: are they there seeking the living among the dead Jesus.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Why are they looking for Jesus where he said he
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: absolutely would not be that Sunday morning. Why would they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: be there looking? And so you seek Jesus of Nazareth,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: See the place where they past tense laid him. This
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is where he was. Just in case you're still confused,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: why are you alarmed? Don't be alarmed or confused. I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: want you to be amazed, sisters. I want you to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: be amazed brothers who will find out soon. I want
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you to be amazed, but not surprised. You should not
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: be confused about where Jesus is. You shouldn't be like,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he's not here. Come on now, he said that he
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: would not be here. All of the prophecies pointed to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: his resurrection so that he could minister minister his own
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: blood in the sanctuary. Yes, he could minister his power
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and victory to the point that he could deliver us
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: from sin and expunge the sin record of every person
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: who has ever lived and has confessed their sins and
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: turned away from our sins. Yes, Jesus is gone, bye bye.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: He is not here because you looking for dead folks,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus is not here. So let's look at the victory
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: that Jesus gave us over death. And we read now
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: just like we read in Westley's hymn from First Corinthians,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: chapter fifteen, beginning at verse fifty five, Oh death, where
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: is thy sting grave? Where is thy victory? The sting
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of death is sin, and the strength of sin is
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the law. But thanks be to God. I want you
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to type it in the chat. Thanks, thank you Jesus.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: our Lord Jesus Christ, through our Lord Jesus Christ. So,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Jesus being victorious over the second death, I need you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to be very clear on this. Jesus being victorious over
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the second death gives us the power to be victorious
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: over any besetting sin or earthly challenge. Thank God. Now
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: we read from Romans chapter six and verse four. Therefore
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: we are buried with him by baptism into death. We
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: are therefore buried with him by baptism into death. So
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: we see ourselves as he is crucified. We see ourselves
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: being crucified to sin. Okay, that like as Jesus was
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Even so also we should walk in the newness of life.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So in case you're confused about how this applies to you,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in the same way, miraculously Jesus allowed his earthly body
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to die. I need to say that very clearly, because
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Jesus did not cease being God the Son. He did
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: not cease being the eternal one who created us. According
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to John chapter one, Hebrews chapter one, the one who
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: spoke and it stood fast, that's Jesus's voice. He's the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: one that released his brightness upon the upon the face
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of the deep. When he said, let there be light,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: he was revealing himself as a revelation. Chapter twenty one
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and verse twenty three says, he is that light. He's
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the light of the city, he's the light of the temple.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: He is the light of the world. And so the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: same one who said let there be light, and there
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: was light could have said that his humanity will not die.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: But the Bible says that he was obedient unto death,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: even the death of the cross, and so miraculously he
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: laid down his life, and miraculously he took up his life.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: So miraculously, the risen Lord can give you victory over
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: every sin and every challenge until he comes. And when
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: he does come, he's gonna make you he turns. Thanks
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: for 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 L. David Harris.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Make it a great day. Yeah,
