09 09 2024 The Last Supper · 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.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Monday, September nine,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day, and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: study series through the Book of Mark, and our caption
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: for today is the Last Supper. The Last Supper. We'll
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: get into that in just a moment, but first I'd
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: like to say welcome to you and ask you to
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: please go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and let us know where you are in the world.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: At your Daily Portion dot Com. This is one of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underwaigh.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Father and Heaven. Thank you for giving us this new
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: day and for the privilege that we have to open
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: up your word. And I'm asking you please please open
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: up our understanding. Teach us your will, teach us how
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to do your will. And I pray God that we
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: will be so connected with you that we will never
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: betray you. We will never betray you. We will always
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: be with you until Jesus comes in Jesus name. I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: pray Amen and amen again the Last Supper. Okay, And
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so now we begin in verse twenty two of Mark
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: chapter fourteen. Actually we are continuing. We're learning so many
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: lessons as we simply read through the Bible. This is
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: one of the ways that when I am teaching youth,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: when I used to teach youth Bible classes at different places,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we would just simply walk through the scriptures and see
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and experience what was happening and what God was saying
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to us and how we should live as a result.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And so I do like this approach a lot. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: so we now go to verse twenty two, Mark chapter
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: fourteen and the Bible reads were in the last Supper
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: scenario for those who are just coming on and the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Bible reads. And as they did eat, Jesus took the bread. Remember,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus is the bread of life. You read in John
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: chapter six that Jesus is the manna that was to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: come down from heaven, not just the food that was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: in the wilderness that God provided. The people ate it
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and then they died. Jesus is the true bread of life.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: We don't live by human or earthly bread alone, but
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: by every word that comes from the mouth of God,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: every word of God. Jesus also is the word. So
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: this is how we get our sustenance. And so Jesus
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: now is taking up this symbolic bread, and he blessed,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and he break it and gave to them and said,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: take eat, this is my body. And he took the cup.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And when he had given thanks, he gave it to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: them and they drank it. They drank it. So he
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: gives them a cup of grape juice. They share this
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: grape juice that is unfermented. They are eating this bread
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that doesn't have any yeast in it or any other
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: leavening because there is a symbol here. This is representing
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the broken body of Jesus Christ that was given for us.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It is representing the spilt blood of Jesus Christ that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was poured out for us. And so there has to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: be purity, no fermentation, no leavening. And now the symbol
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is firmly in place verse twenty four, and he said,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: unto them, this is my blood of the New Testament
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: or the New Covenant. Some of you didn't realize that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the term Testament and covenant are the same. And so Jesus,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: he said, he promised in the Prophet's Book of Jeremiah
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that he would write his laws in our hearts and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: on our minds, so that his laws would become a
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: part of us. This is the new covenant that he
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: makes with the House of Israel after those days. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: so now symbolically we see this blood is the ceiling
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of the new Covenant or Testament, so that we know
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that he will keep his promise, that the transcript of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: his character will be fulfilled in the lives of people
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: who live in submission to his will, okay, and will
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: be shed for many Verse twenty five. Verily, verily, I say,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: unto you, I will drink no more the fruit of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the vine until the day that I drink it new
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: with you in the kingdom. Now I'm looking at a
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: promise here. I'm looking at a promise here. I'm looking
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: at a promise that reminds me of what he said,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and as recorded in John chapter fourteen, he said, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: will come again and receive you unto myself. After I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: have prepared a place for you. I'm going to come back,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to receive you unto myself. That where
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I am there ye may be also. And so Jesus
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is implying very clearly here that I'm going to drink
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of this fruit of the vine again. I'm going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: drink again, but I'm not going to do it until
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I fulfill my promise that is a fulfillment or a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: manifestation of this new covenant. I am not going to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: drink this again until you come into the kingdom where
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I will be. Until you come into the kingdom, until
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you have overcome, and I grant you to sit in
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: my father's throne, even as I have overcome and am
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: set in my father's throne. I'm not going to drink
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: this until you have overcome all of your besetting sins,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: where you are no longer burdened. You're no longer burdened
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: by lying, You're no longer burdened by pride. You are
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: no longer burdened by trying to figure out where your
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: next meal is going to come from. You're no longer
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: burdened by any earthly human body disease, you are no
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: longer burdened by doubts about whether God or your family
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: loves you. You will be full overcomers. And once you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: are full overcomers, and I open up the kingdom, the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: physical geographic kingdom that's in heaven. Once I open that
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: up to you, that's when we're gonna drink together again.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And I thank God because I see the promise and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. Every time you drink unfermented
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: grape juice, hopefully that's the only kind of grape juice
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you're drinking. I wish I had the time. But once
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you are drinking that your juice from the grape, I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: want you to think about Jesus and what he has
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: done for all of us, the Bible says in verse
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: twenty six, And when they had sung and him, this
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: is a worship setting everybody. This is a celebration. When
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: they had sung a hymn, they went out into the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Mount of Olives. You see, they had already resolved their sin,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: challenges those who did it by faith. When they washed
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: each other's feet, Jesus really washed their feet. I wish
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I had the time, I said, washed each other's But
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: really that was wishful thinking. Jesus washed their feet. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: then the Bible teaches us that that is a manifestation
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: or a symbol of our cleansing. Yes, a symbol of
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: our cleansing. And now having been cleansed, we can come
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: into this fellowship by eating of the bread of life
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and drinking of the symbol, the symbol of Jesus's spilt
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: blood for us. Now they have sung the hymn, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: they went out to the Mount of Olives, and Jesus said,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: unto them all, ye shall be offended because of me.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: That means they're going to run away, They're going to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: leave him, They're going to turn their backs on God
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: for that moment because of me. This night, or is
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: it written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: shall be scattered. But after that I am risen, I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said, unto him,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: although all shall be offended, although all shall be offended,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: yet will I not be offended? And Jesus saith unto him.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Verily I say unto THEE that this day, even in
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: this night, before the cock crow, twice thou shalt deny
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: me thrice. But when he spoke more vehemently, if I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: should die with THEE, I will not deny THEE in
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: any way. Likewise, also said they all. Let me just
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: say this, Jesus loves us so much. And you want
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to say, well, how much does he love us? Jesus
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: loves us so much that he chose those disciples, the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: eleven disciples. He chose them the one that had the devil,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: had a devil Judas, that's a different discussion. I wish
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I had the time. But he chose those men knowing
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: exactly what they would do. They would forsake him and flee.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But he also knew that he would keep his end
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of the bargain, he would keep the covenant, and they
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: would be transformed. So in this moment we see them
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in weakness, but finally we see the covenant manifest in
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: their lives of triumphant submission to God's will, and that
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: could be your testimony.
• 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,
