• 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

  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15

  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Father and Heaven. Thank you

  Speaker 2: to be in our lives. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Amen and a man again the hour of Glory, the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Cross and the Resurrection. Okay, so let's go ahead and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: just jump right into the memory text which is coming
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: in from John chapter eighteen and verse thirty seven. That's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the Bible Book of John chapter eighteen and verse thirty seven,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and the Bible reads then Pilots said to him, so
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you are a king, Jesus answered, you say that I
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: am a king for this purpose I was born, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: for this purpose I have come into the world to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: truth listens to my voice. All right, So I literally
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: underlined a few things here, and if I were to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: do this again, I would underline it maybe differently for emphasis,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: but for today, I underlined I am a you say,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I am a king. This purpose and then to bear
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: listens to my voice. And I underlined all of those.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And you may need to rewind this for you to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: remember what I just said. But I did that. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: did it for this reason, for awareness. Purpose, There was
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: purpose attached to a higher principle and action based on
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: purpose and higher calling. Can I say that again? Awareness,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I am the King. Purpose for this purpose? Okay, purpose
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: attached to a higher principle, to bear witness to the truth,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and then action based on purpose and higher calling. See,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: everybody who has this awareness of what's going on, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: purpose that Jesus is here, right, the purpose that's attached
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to a higher principle. Well, everybody who gets that, who's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: receiving this by faith, there is now an action based
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: on the purpose and the higher calling. What is the action?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: We listen to his voice? If we get all of that,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: then we listen to his voice. If we say that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we believe Jesus, then we listen to his voice. The
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: problem with Pilot was that he didn't clearly believe, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: he clearly did not listen, even though you know he
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: had this conversation what is true? Even though Pilot eventually
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: his wife was like, listen, don't mess around. Don't mess
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: with that man. Even though he said I find no
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: fault in him, he did not listen to Jesus's voice.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: He tried to use a basin of water to wash
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: away his responsibility. Can we just sit there for one moment?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So Pilot, when he had the opportunity to try the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: case of Jesus Christ, the beloved One who has come
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to save us from our sins, when he had the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: opportunity to listen to the voice of the holy ghost
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in his spirit, that said, do not mess with this
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: man because he's very special. He is unique, and there
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: are things that you need to understand. The wife is
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: troubled in the night, like, do not trouble him. Please.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Even though all of that, he tried to use a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: wash basin to preserve his political career. Can I say
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that again. He tried to preserve his reputation. He tried
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to preserve his and protect his social equity. He tried
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to protect his position by disrespecting God and selling Jesus
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: down the river. How many times have we sold down
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Jesus down the river in our lives when people have
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: given us an opportunity to say one good word for Jesus,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: or to be honest in the face of all of
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: these people on the same committee on which we have sat.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I have been on a committee before where it was
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: injustice and I had to vote, like, okay, so how
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: does this go? Is it God's way or is it
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the will of the people's way? And I'm like, I'm
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: voting with God in this case. You see what I'm saying.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: And so what this dude did was he voted with
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the people. He voted with the people. He allowed the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: committee of all of the detractors of Jesus, he allowed
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the committee of popular opinion. He allowed the committee that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: tries to determine the will of God. I said, the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: committee tried to read to determine the will of God,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to tell God how this was going to go. And
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: he used a basin of water to wash his hands
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and say, whatever it is, y'all do it, because I'm
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: not touching it. Well, you touched it already, sir, mister pilot,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you touched it, sister in church. You touched it, brother
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in church. You touched it, sir, at your workplace, when
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you were able to execute justice in a good way
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and equity and inclusion when somebody needed your advocacy, you
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: used a basin, the proverbial basin, to wash your hands
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of the responsibility. When somebody was supposed to get a
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: higher pay for what they have done because your company
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: or organization has been ripping them off for years and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: now it is time to pay the piper, and you said, nah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna wash my hands of it. Y'all figure it out.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: When you had the opportunity to stop oppression in certain
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: key areas of your community, and you said or did
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing, You used a basin of water to try
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to wash and absolve yourself of responsibility. That, yeah, that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't work in heaven. It doesn't work in heaven. What
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: we do is we allow the regenerating water of God's power,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: his love, his righteousness to wash over us and empower
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: us to do the right thing I wish I had
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the time. I'm gonna get off of that now and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: give some tips to prepare us for the coming week. Okay.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Number one, Recognize the true King. The Bible teaches us
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: in Revelation chapter nineteen and verse sixteen, the true King,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and he hath on his vesture meaning Christ, and on
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: his thigh a name written King of Kings and Lord
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: of lords. This is the reality. Even though Jesus is
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: in that mock trial, that farce of a trial with Pilate,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and they were saying king of the one set of people,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: He's the King of kings and Lord of lords, full stop.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: He's the king of the universe's throne. Of course, we
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: have the privilege to live the truth. Jesus said it
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: in John chapter fourteen and verse six that he is
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the way, the truth, and the life. So he is available.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: He's ready, willing and available to show us the way,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to give us the truth and to empower us with
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: life so we can live the truth. Of course, we
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: have the privilege of listening to his voice. He said
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: in John chapter ten and verse twenty seven. My sheep here,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I'm thankful that God has given us the privilege in
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the hour of glory, the Cross and the Resurrection that
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: we con side with Jesus come what may 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.
