05 03 2025 Understanding Sacrifice · 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 Sabbath. It's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: May three, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's Word every single day,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: lesson study series how to Study Bible Prophecy. Our caption
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: four this Sabbath morning is understanding Sacrifice under Sacrifice. Before
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: we get into that, I'd like to say welcome to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: everyone joining us, especially those joining us for the very
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: first time. I'm asking you to please go over to
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Please please let us know where you are in the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: world at your Daily Portion dot com. This is one
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Father and Heaven. Thank you for this new Sabbath morning
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and for the opportunity we have to not just open
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: your word, but begin to live by your spirit through
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: your word. I pray God that you will give us
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the fullness of your Holy Spirit. Help us not only
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to just understand the prophecies the sacrifices, but become living sacrifices,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: holy and acceptable unto you. Then Jesus name, I pray
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Amen day Man again understanding sacrifice. This makes me think
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I actually wrote it in my notes. This makes me think,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: what shall I render to God? For all of his
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: blessings or his benefits? Do you remember that him? What
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: shall I render? And in fact, there are some other
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Christian songs that are based on that same concept. What
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: shall I render for all of his blessings all of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: his benefits? Because Jesus gave everything. Jesus gave everything for me,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: He gave everything for you. The risk was incalculable when
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ took on the form of a human being.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: After four thousand years, the human race had been degraded
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: by sin Jesus coming into human flesh and living the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: life that we should be living, dying the death that
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we deserve in order for us to receive the benefits
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the eternity, the power that he deserves. Let's go ahead
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and just jump right into the Bible Book of Revelation,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter five, and I admit this is one of
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: my favorite scenes in the scriptures. Chapters four and five
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: are among my favorite scenes. And the Bible reads and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: they sang a new song saying you are worthy to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: take the scroll and to open its seals, for you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: were slain, and ye have redeemed us to God by
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and nation. This is coming in from Revelation chapter five,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: verse nine. And in this scene it is a worship scene,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a worshipful scene in heaven, and there are number of
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: different kinds of beings there represent it. But the challenge
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is that there is a book with seals, seven seals
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that nobody can touch, nobody can look therein, nobody can
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: look there on, and there is weeping in heaven to say,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: but who is worthy to open up this book and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the seals and to take make a long story short,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: because we're not focusing focusing there. The Bible says that
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Jesus laid hold after there was an announcement like don't
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you worry, fret not, don't worry, don't worry. The lamb,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, the one who gave
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: his life for human beings. He is worthy not only
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to look thereon, not only to look therein, not only
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to unseal, but to take that out, take that out
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of the Father's hand, and now there is rejoicing and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: worship in the heavenly scene. What is identified as making
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: him worthy, the fact that he gave his life worthy
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is the lamb worthy. Worthy is the lamb that was slain,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and he gave himself for every human being from every tribe, tongue, kindred,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: nation and people. And by the way the universe, the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: universe benefits those heavenly beings who never fell into sin.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: They benefit those beings that we don't really know about
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: too much about that are from other planets. And I'm
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: not talking about Martians. I'm talking about The Bible says
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that Jesus created the world whoever those beings are, maybe
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: we could see a representation of that in the Bible
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Book of Job. But whoever the beings are, in the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: expanse of the universe that God created, these intelligent beings,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: all are benefiting because of what Jesus did. Okay, I
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time, but just continue from the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: lesson writer. When Jesus came toward him, John the Baptist declared,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: behold the Lamb of God. This was when John was
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: in the Jordan River. This is fulfillment of prophecy during
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the seventy Weeks of Years prophecies in the Book of Daniel.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that when Jesus was approaching the spot
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: where where John was baptizing, he said, behold the Lamb
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of God, which taketh away the sins of the world.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: In John chapter one and verse twenty nine, so something
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: someone has to die, So John makes allusion to those sacrifices,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the lamb, the lamb, the lamb of God. Okay, the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Lamb of God. They were accustomed to giving sacrifices, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: this lamb is taking away the sins of the world.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: So no normal animal sacrifices as represented in Leviticus, chapters
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: one through seven. None of those sacrifices are sufficient to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: destroy sin in a human life. None of them are
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: sufficient to pay the penalty of those sins. But they
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: were representative of someone, someone who took the responsibility. It
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: is a godly lesson of God taking responsibility for sin
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: so that he could save you, he could save me.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And so we're going now to a few lessons. Let's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: see how many we can share about Jesus being the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: sacrificial lamb and sacrifices. Number one, recognize the significance of
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the sacrifice. We cannot just brush by it. We can't
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: just run by it. We can't see that scene in
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: John chapter one and verse twenty nine and say, oh,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that was wonderful. It was a historic event. And John
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: knew who he was based on filling the blank and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: he announced it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: The sacrificial system culminating in Christ as the Lamb of God.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: God teaches us the cost of sin and the depth
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of God's love. What in the world is the weight
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: of sin? If it required the life of the one
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: who is my life, Jesus Christ, would you get that?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: How incredible, how terrible is sin that it would require
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the life of Jesus Christ in order to save me.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: And so what I want you to do is to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: meditate regularly on Revelation chapter five and John chapter one,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: especially verse twenty nine, to begin to become to imbibe
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the reality of what it took to save me and
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: how worthy Jesus is. Now there is the infinite love
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: of God. The ultimate sacrifice of Christ is a direct
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: manifest station of the love of God. Remember, for God
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: everlasting life. Yes, okay, And so what we want to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: do also is read from first John, chapter four and
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: verse ten, furthering the thought herein is love, not that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: we loved God, but that He loved us and sent
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: his son to be a propitiation for our sins. And
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of course we have gratitude. I have seven things that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: you should keep in mind I should keep in mind.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Ask for it inside of the community, and I'll share
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: that list with you. Make it a great rest of
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: your sabbath. 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,
