• 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

  Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,

• 0:53
  Speaker 2: caption for today is it is finished. By the time
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we're done, I need you to be able to answer
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the question what was finished? Okay, Before we get into that,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I'd like to say welcome to everyone joining us, especially
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: those joining us for the very first time. I'm asking
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you to please please go over to your Daily Portion
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: dot com. I want you to pick up that Companion
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Guide and the Your Daily Portion Companion Guide for this lesson,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: because I want you to be able to apply with
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: me what we are learning and then report in the community,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: which I also need you to join and click that
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: number seven to continue to build faith, fellowship and to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: grow spiritually. Okay, all of this at your Daily Portion
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: dot com. I'm not expecting you to remember it. Just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: go right there. Do what you need to do. Click
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that look, click that link, or go right there. Right
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: after we're done here, Okay, let's go ahead and pray
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: We thank you for waking us up this morning and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: giving us this opportunity to come together at five AF
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: my time and whatever time these your children are in
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the world. I pray that you will teach us to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: be finished with sin. Please teach us to be finished
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: with sinning. In Jesus' name. I pray, Amen and Amen again.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I know I know it's jarring to somebody that I said, Lord,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: please help us to be finished with sinning. You know
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: God is able, Jesus is able to keep us from
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: falling and to present us faultless before the Father, or
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: before the presence with exceeding joy. So we want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: give Jesus the privilege and opportunity to say yes in
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the life of every person that's on this platform today,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: all of the hundreds of thousands of you who are
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: listening at this very moment simultaneously around the world on
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the radio, and all of the thousands of you who
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: are watching on social media, and who knows how many
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: listening on podcasts, that today is the day that you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: can be finished with willfully turning away from God. Now
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you hear what I just said. Now we can be finished.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We can go and sin no more. We can go
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and have the power of God unto salvation in our lives,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to the degree that we will learn how to serve
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Jesus right, and if God forbid, we should turn our
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: back on Him for even a moment. The Bible says,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: my little children, these things right, I unto you that
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: ye sin not but or and if any person sins,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you have an advocate. I'm thankful the one we beheld yesterday,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. You have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Christ the Righteous, and he has come to become the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: propitiation for us all that is the mercy seat, the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: one that is giving us the mercy so that we
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: can be saved. He is that for all of us,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: including those who don't yet know him. It is finished.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a place in space of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: worship and appreciation. Again from the Companion Guide, I want
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you to get from your Daily Portion dot com. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: need you to go into our community and share how
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you're going to apply it in one of those four
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: key ways that we talk about there. This is a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: worship space, it is an appreciation space. This is where
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: we get to connect with God in a new way.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And so we read from the book The Desire of Ages,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: page seven hundred and forty five, and it reads, a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: higher power than pilot or the so called I'm saying
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: so called people of God had directed the placing of
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that inscription above the head of Jesus. We'll read about
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in the Providence of God. It was to awaken thought
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: an investigation of the scriptures. Who is this man that's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the end of the quote, like, who is this man
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: that they are saying is the king of the Jews?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Who is this man that is on the cross, who
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: is just taking what they're giving who's not cursing, It
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: was not complaining. Who is this man who does not
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: need his bones broken? Because he yielded his life. It
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: did not need those bits of alcohol that vinegar to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: ease the pressure, because he had the power of God
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in his bosom, so that he could deal with the load,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: with all of the sins of the people on him.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: At that same moment in time, while his heart broke, wondering, God,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: why have you forsaken me? But Jesus, with his eyes set,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: with his resolve solid, he was about to tell us
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: it is finished. But before we get there, let's go
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: ahead and read. Let us go ahead and read from
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: John chapter nineteen, beginning at verse seventeen, and the Bible reads,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and bearing his Cross, Jesus bore his cross, brothers and sisters.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: He did not try to give it away. He did
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: not run away from it. He did not try to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: shirk responsibility. He did not change his mind and say
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do this because these people are
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: too wicked, and let them get what they deserve. No,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, and he bearing his cross, are you
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: bearing your cross, brothers and sisters, whatever the cross of
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: your life is, are you bearing it and taking it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to Jesus, and saying, God, this is your burden, because
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I am not able to carry it. And bearing the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: cross his cross, he went forth unto the place called
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the place of the Skull, which is called in the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Hebrew Galgatha, where they crucified him. What and two other
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: with him, one on either side, and Jesus in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: midst And Pilot wrote a title and put it on
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the cross. The writing was Jesus of Nazareth, the King
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of the Jews. This title then read many of the Jews,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh into
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the city, and it was rich in Hebrew, in Greek,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and in Latin. Then said the chief priests to Pilot, right,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: not the king of the Jews, but that he said,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I am the king of the Jews. Pilot answered, what
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I have written, I have written. Now, standing beside Jesus's
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: cross was his mother. Can you imagine that blessed woman
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: that God gave the privilege of carrying Jesus, the Son
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: of God, in her womb miraculously. Now she is watching
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the moments of his life eb from him, and she
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is there at the cross, watching her Savior, not just
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: her son. She's watching her savior now. He's elevated in
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: her mind. Now she is very clear about who he is.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: She knew who he was, but she's seeing it in
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: real life, not just that the angel came to announce it,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: not just that she could read and discern the meaning
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: of the prophecies. But she's seeing Jesus Christ now, the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Son of God, giving his life for her. But I'm
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: sure that the proverbial wound still hurts. I'm sure that
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: she's still saying, why are they doing this to him?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that if she could have, she would
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: have delivered him. But she knows that she has to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: allow Jesus to do why he came here, do what
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: she trained him under the Holy Ghost to be able
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to do. His mother's sister Mary, the wife of Klopphahs
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and Mary Magdalene. So when Jesus saw his mother and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the disciple whom he loved, that's John standing there. He
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: said to his mother, woman, woman, look here is your son.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Brothers and sisters. Do you think of your parents in
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the way that you would take care of them even
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to the last moment of your breath? Do you, sons
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: love your mommy so much that even as you are dying,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you are thinking for her best interest. Are you leaving
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a plan for her to be taken care of? Behold
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: your son Verse twenty seven, and he said to this disciple, Look,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: here is your mother. For that very time, the disciple
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: took her into his own home. Oh my goodness. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: so later on, the Bible says, as he gave his
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: last breath, he announced, he cried, it is finished. What
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: was finished? When Jesus cried aloud as he gave his
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: last and he breathed his last breath, it is finished.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: His earthly ministry was complete. His earthly ministry was complete.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: He would give his life once for all and then
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: move on to his ministry in heaven. Make it a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: great day, peace.
• 9:45

• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
