09 25 2025 Jesus Tabernacled With Humanity · 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.

  Speaker 2: the Book of Exodus, and our caption for today is
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Jesus tabernacled with humanity. Jesus he tabernacled with humanity. Before
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we get into that, I'd like to say welcome to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the very
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: first time. Please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

  Speaker 2: in the world at your Daily Portion dot com. This

  Speaker 2: is one of the ways that we continue to build

  Speaker 2: faith and fellowship. Let's pray, Father, thank you, thank you
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: for giving us Jesus, thank you for dwelling among us.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Please help us to dwell one day with you eternally
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen, and amen again by
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: show of hands. I don't know you want to type
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: of one in the chat. Let's do that type of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: one in the chat if you are looking forward or
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: even in the comments section, if you're looking forward to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the day that we will be with God eternally. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: know what I just said, looking forward to the day
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: when we will begin living with God eternally. Are you
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: looking forward to that day? And let's see what makes
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: this possible. The Bible reads and one of my favorite
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: passages from probably my favorite book, but maybe it'll change
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: at some time. The Bible is so sweet, but it
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: reads here in verse fourteen of John chapter one, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the word was made flesh. We're talking about Jesus Christ
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: right here. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and we behold his glory, the glory as the only
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: begotten of the Father. He is full of grace and truth.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So Jesus physically dwelt among God's people on planet Earth.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And let me just go beyond. That Jesus lived in
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: human form. That means that he took on the plight
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of humanity. That means that when God so loved the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And that God did not send his son into the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: world to condemn the world, but that the world through
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: him might be saved. It meant that Jesus took all
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of the punishment that we deserve so that we can
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: live the righteous reward that he deserves. Can I say
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that again, he died the death that we deserve so
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that we can live the righteous reward that he deserves.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So don't let the cross of Christ, the time that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: he gave his life for you, be in vain. So
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: if you confess your sins, if I confess my sins,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: if you confess your sins, he is faithful and just
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to forgive us of all of our sins and to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: cleanse Us from all unrighteousness. But he made this possible
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: by taking on human form after it was degraded by
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: four thousand years of sin. I need you to understand
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that when Jesus Christ came into humanity, he did not
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: come into human form when there was no sin on
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: planet Earth, because what sense would that make. He didn't
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: come into human form on some like regular ambassador trip
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: where he gets to sit and live in a cushy
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: hotel until this is all over. No, Jesus came into
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: humanity after four thousand years of sin. Have you seen
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: what was in his bloodline? Who was in his bloodline?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I challenge you to go into the book of the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Beginning of Matthew, the Beginning of Luke and read the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: genealogies and see who was in Jesus's bloodline. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Jesus could have sinned, but thank god he didn't. I know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I just said, I said, Jesus could have sinned, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: thank god he didn't. When he took on human form,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a formality. It wasn't that he was just
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: doing something so we could see a representative from heaven.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The word becoming flesh is God's greatest act of nearness.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Just as he dwelt in the tabernacle among God's people
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: in the Old Testament, he came in person to reveal
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: his glory, the Father's glory, through grace that is unmerited favor,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that is mercy that we don't deserve, and the power
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to do God's will. And truth. The Bible says that
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the ten Commandments are truth. The Bible says that Jesus
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: is the Way, the Truth, and the life. The Bible
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: says thy word, God's whole scripture is truth. And so
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: invest time in the Gospels today and every day. Really,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it would be well that we would invest a thoughtful
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: hour every day in contemplation about Jesus's life, especially the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: closing moment. So why don't you just begin today, begin
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: with that, and see how Jesus's life reveals the heart
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of God, and then worship him. We go now back
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to Revelation twenty one, verse three. I've read it already.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I've read it already, and I'll read it from a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: different translation, new English translation. And I heard a loud
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: voice from the throne saying, Look, the residence of God
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: is among human beings. Oh God, he will live among them,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and they will be his people, and God himself will
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: be with them. Can I just say right here that
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: when Jesus does this one from the Revelation text, there
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: will be no more darkening veil between There will no
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: law be a cleft of rock. It won't be that
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: God covers our faces with his eyes with his hands,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: or covers us with his hands. It will no longer
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: be that He will turn his back and cause his
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: glory to pass us in that way. But then we
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: will actually see Him as he is. Are you looking
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: forward to the day? He said, Then we will see
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: him as he is. And let those who have this
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: hope in themselves purify themselves even as he is pure.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: So cultivate an awareness of God's presence. One writer said,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to practice the visible presence of God? How would you
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: behave if Jesus was right here, right in front of you,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: you could see and experience him. How would you behave?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: What kinds of conversations would you have and not have?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: How would you treat that person over there who has needs?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: How would you treat this person over here who has
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: slighted you in the past and maybe intends to continue
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: slighting You would you treat those people or situation. So
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: invite him into every aspect of life. The Bible teaches
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: us in Revelation chapter three that behold, he stands at
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the door, and he knocks, he knocks, and he said
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: that if any person hears his voice and then opens
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the door, he will come in to that person, come
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: into the home of the person, come into the life
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: of the person. But the question is, like, where are
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: we allowing God to come in? We're going to put
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: him in that first sitting room that I made allusion
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: to yesterday or direct reference, like where you don't put
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: your feet up on anything, you just kind of hang
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: out in that very stilted and sterile experience. Or we're
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: going to let him into the true living room and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: family room where we hang out and do whatever we desire.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Or into the kitchen where we eat and agree with
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the people with whom we eat and build trust with them.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Or is it into the bed room, Is it into
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the closet, is it up under the bed Is it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in that place in the drawer that you don't want
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: nobody to go into that you allow Jesus to come
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in and actually transform that space into the bethel the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: House of God. Hmmm, behold, I have seen Pennael, I
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: have seen God face to face, and I have been
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: spared like. Is that your reality? When Jesus dwells with you,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: are you allowing him into your space? Yes? Or yes?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And then finally, the future dwelling of God with humanity
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: will be eternal. I'm grateful. I'm grateful. So begin to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: live with hope and holiness, keeping eternity in your view
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: as your ultimate does.
• 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,
