07 10 2026 Calvary · 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,

• 1:52
  Speaker 2: this day, this time of preparation. Will you prepare our hearts?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Will you prepare our minds to serve you and love you? Father?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Will you make us holy today? In Jesus' name? I pray,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. There was a song that I
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: wish I could play, but I don't want to get
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: into a copyright infringement challenge here, whether on radio or
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on this platform and YouTube calvary my word, what an
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: incredible song that God has given us. I think it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: was the Richard Smallwood singers. That version of it incredible,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So please look that up when you have an opportunity.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It is impossible for us to estimate the value that
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Christ showed on our lives for what he did on Calvary,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: what he did on the hill called Calvary, it's the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: time that he finally went all the way and breathed
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: his last breath, dying the death that we deserve, so
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we can live the life that he deserves. Now that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: sounded poetic, But when you think that he had been
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: stabbed in his side, when you think that he had
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: been hit in his head with a reed while having
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: on a crown of thorns, and those thorns going into
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: his temples and all around his head, creating more injuries
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: than he had already experienced. He was already weak and beaten.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: He was already had his beard ripped out of his face.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: He already had been carted around from mock trial to
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: mock trial. I'm sure they did not give him a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: bathroom break to give him some comfort while he was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: going back and forth. And I'm sure they did not
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: give him the kind of clothes that would make him
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: feel like he was dignified going through this process. I'm
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: sure that as he was being dragged through, they didn't
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: give him give him an opportunity to be to bathe
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and to bring himself to be physically presentable, and all
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of this he's doing, he's going through in human form,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: knowing full well that he could have and his divinity
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: stopped it right there. He could have stopped the hearts
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of every human being that was in his way. He
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: could have stopped the hearts of everyone who would ever
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: be considering to do evil against him. But he chose
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to yield his will to the Father's will so that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you and I could be saved. And how many things
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: have I left out? And in finite number of things
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I left out concerning Calvary, But the most important thing
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: in my mind is that the Cross at Calvary is
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: not just a symbol for us to admire from a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: distance or to write songs about, or to be poetic
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in moments of passion about. It is the place where
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the love of God met your sin. And I need
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you to let that settle. In the Bible say where
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: sin abounds, grace doth much more abound. But the Bible
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: also says that mercy and justice meet together and they kiss.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Do you know why that's important? Because God is the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: one who is just. That means he is all holy,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: all righteous, Blessed be his name, and he's the justifier.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: That means that even though he is just and everything
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: about him is holy, and that everything that is in
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: contrary to his holiness must be destroyed in his presence,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: just by virtue of that contrast, the Bible says he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: also the justifier of those who love him, who surrender
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to him. That means that he sees us just as
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: if we had never sinned. That means that in his
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: mercy he gives us forgiveness and cleansing, so that when
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: justice sees us, it really just sees Jesus. May I
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: say that one more time. When justice sees Us and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: says I'm looking for something to either justify or destroy,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: he sees Jesus. And because Jesus is innocent, huh, the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: innocent for the guilty, he gave his life for us.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And now we wear his righteousness as a covering. Since
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that is the case, now we can be saved. All
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of this and more, infinitely more happened on Calvary. The
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: cross is not a symbol for us to admire from
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a distance. It is the place where the love of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: God met your sin, where Jesus gave himself for you,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and where your heart can be changed forever, and we
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: thank God our first lesson for today, as I have
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: run all the time out, but I just needed to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: worship for a moment. In First Corinthians chapter let's go
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: with Romans chapter five. This time Romans chapter five and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: verse eight. The Bible reads, but God commendeth his love
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: died for us. He didn't wait for us to clean
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: up ourselves. He didn't wait for us to go through
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: a twelve steps program in order to extend salvation for us.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: He didn't put us in a place like some people
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: who have helpers or cleaning crews come through their home.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: They want to tidy up the place first so that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: they can portray themselves as already clean. But that doesn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: make sense. If you're already clean, why do you need
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a savior? We see how I just switched. I just
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: jumped over to the reality. Here. Some of you waiting
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: for molly maids to come in and clean and dust
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and make sure your house is well sanitized because baby
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: is coming home. You're in there trying to clean up
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: just a little bit. First, God is saying, bring all
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: ye who are heavy laden and labor bring all of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that to me. Bring all of your dirt, all of
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: your secrets, all of your dust, all of your grime,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: all of your filthiness, which is like filthy menstrual rags.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: That's what the Bible teaches us in Isaiah sixty four
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and verse six. Bring all of that to me, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I will bring you rest, will exchange. I'll give you rest.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: You bring this, I'll bring that. It's like pot luck,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: but better you bring this and God brings that. You bring, filthiness,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you bring, lack, you bring, a poverty mindset. You bring
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: all of the wickedness that you've ever done or ever
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: would have planned to do, except that God rescued you,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: and he will give you our eest. He will make
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you holy. And all of this and more is possible
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: because of what Jesus did on Calvary. Let me read
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this quote before we close. In the book Acts of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the Apostles, page two hundred four and two hundred and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: forty six. He knew by personal experience that when a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: sinner once beholds the love of the Father as seen
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: in the sacrifice of the Sun, and yields into the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: divine influence, a chance of heart takes place, a change
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: of heart takes place, and henceforth Christ is in all
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and all my God. He knew by personal experience that
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: when a sinner once beholds the love of the Father,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: then he will be changed immediately. Make it a great day, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah.
