• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to keep us
• 0:15
  through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all of
• 0:20
  that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to live
• 0:25
  healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author
• 0:31
  speaker Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, good morning. It
• 0:34
  is Thursday, July fourth, twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is
• 0:38
  El David Harris. I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
• 0:42
  where we give you God's Word every single day and today is no exception.
• 0:46
  We are continuing in our new lesson study series through the Book of Mark.
• 0:51
  Our caption for today is the Gospel according to Jesus, The Gospel according to
• 0:58
  Jesus. We'll get into that and just the moment, but first I'd like
• 1:00
  to say welcome to you and ask you to please go over to your Daily
• 1:03
  Portion dot com. Please join our online community, pick up the Your Daily
• 1:08
  Portion book and let us know where you are in the world at your Daily
• 1:14
  Portion dot com. This is a way that we continue to build faith and
• 1:19
  fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get under ragh
• 1:23
  Father and Heaven. Thank you for this day, for giving us the opportunity
• 1:26
  to pray and to do your will. Father, Please help us to hear
• 1:30
  the Gospel according to Jesus today and live according to your principles. Help us
• 1:37
  to be freed, delivered today, independent from sin. Today in Jesus name,
• 1:42
  I pray, Amen and Amen again the Gospel according to Jesus. I
• 1:47
  wonder what it would be like how to sit there and listen to Jesus' teach.
• 1:56
  What would it be like to sit there or stand as the case may
• 2:00
  be, and listen to Jesus actually teach. There are so many great preachers
• 2:06
  that we would have heard over the years, over the millennia even, and
• 2:10
  so many things have been recorded against their names as mighty feats and miracles based
• 2:19
  on the Gospel that they would have preached. But what would have been like
• 2:23
  to hear Jesus actually preach. If you saw him, you wouldn't really notice
• 2:28
  that he was anything special, just looking at him walking on the streets of
• 2:31
  Galilee, like you wouldn't even notice, except maybe that there would be some
• 2:36
  followers with him. You're like, well, who is that? But then
• 2:38
  when you see what he did, when you experienced his presence, when you
• 2:44
  heard him preach the words of righteousness, then it starts to click that this
• 2:50
  is no ordinary man, but this is someone hyper super special. And of
• 2:54
  course now we know the anointed One, the Messiah, the one who comes
• 2:59
  from the bus of God, so we can be saved. Yes, And
• 3:02
  so we read now in the Book of Mark, the Book of Mark,
• 3:07
  chapter one, beginning at verse fourteen. Now after John was put in prison,
• 3:14
  so John really had done what he needed to do in order to prepare
• 3:17
  the way for Jesus Christ to come in and begin to lead people to holiness.
• 3:23
  John did his part. He prepared the way, and now he's being
• 3:27
  moved off the scene. Unfortunately, what a terrible way to go off the
• 3:30
  scene, but he did. He did it. Then, the Bible says,
• 3:35
  after he was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Gospel
• 3:39
  of the Kingdom. And so he said, the time is fulfilled. I
• 3:44
  want you to keep that in your mind. And the Kingdom of God is
• 3:46
  at hand. Okay, and repent, ye and believe the gospel. So
• 3:52
  God is showing us that the Kingdom of God is right here within us.
• 3:58
  He said at the time, Yes, we're looking for God's God's Kingdom to
• 4:02
  come. God's will to be done on earth, that is in the lives
• 4:06
  of people as it is in heaven. This is what God wants for us.
• 4:12
  This is what we should want from God. And then it says,
• 4:15
  repent and believe the gospel. Receive from God as a gift, godly sorrow
• 4:23
  for sin and a turning away. Turn the shoulder, walk away from those
• 4:28
  sins that have held you back for so many years, those things that you've
• 4:32
  been guilty about. You promised yourself and God that you wouldn't go down on
• 4:36
  that path again. You wouldn't destroy your relationships in the way that you have
• 4:42
  God forbid. You would not have been addicted to these different substances and do
• 4:47
  other things that are just not pleasing in God's sight. You would have been
• 4:50
  kinder, you would have been a better parent, and so many other things.
• 4:55
  And God is saying you can turn away from all of that and more.
• 4:59
  You can believe the gospel. Okay, good, So the lesson writer
• 5:02
  says that there are three parts to the gospel here, and we'll just say
• 5:06
  the same thing again a different way. Number one time prophecy, and he
• 5:13
  said, Jesus said, the time is fulfilled. And so we'll go into
• 5:16
  Daniel nine in just a moment to give a little bit of context. And
• 5:20
  then number two covenant promise. So he made a promise way back when,
• 5:27
  and that promise is being fulfilled that the Kingdom of God is near. We're
• 5:31
  looking forward to the day that we will enter the heavenly promised land. Those
• 5:38
  who are baptized into Christ. The Bible says, I should have said this
• 5:42
  yesterday are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. So God promised to
• 5:48
  Abraham that his people would inhabit the earthly Canaan, and then he would have
• 5:54
  descendants or promised land descendants numberless like the sand grain at the seashore, the
• 6:00
  skies, stars, starry hosts, like the numberless multitude of people who would
• 6:08
  believe and come into a right relationship with God would come through the kind of
• 6:14
  faith that Abraham had. Okay, so we have that the Kingdom of God
• 6:18
  is at hand, and this is becoming of real fulfillment in front of the
• 6:23
  people, and the call to discipleship to be like Jesus and to lead others
• 6:28
  into a right relationship with God. What is the call repent, turn away
• 6:31
  from your sins, receive the godly sorrow that I can show you, and
• 6:35
  turn away from your sins and believe the gospel that will manifest itself and the
• 6:40
  way you live. Okay, that's the simplicity of it. We thank God.
• 6:44
  Okay. And so the time prophecy part is in the Book of Daniel,
• 6:47
  chapter nine. So much is said there. I won't read it,
• 6:51
  but I want you to hear what is being spoken of, right, And
• 6:56
  so the Bible writer says that from the from the command to rebuild Jerusalem until
• 7:05
  Messiah the Prince would be a certain period of time. So I'm going to
• 7:11
  just hurry up and tell you what it is. And you can study the
• 7:14
  seventy weeks Prophecy from amazingfacts dot Com when you have an opportunity. So from
• 7:19
  four hundred and fifty seven BC, that is when our Deserxees gave that final
• 7:26
  stamp of approval for God's people to rebuild Jerusalem and to rebuild the temple that
• 7:32
  they needed to rebuild from four to fifty seven until four hundred and eighty three
• 7:40
  literal years later, we see symbolic language about a day for a year in
• 7:46
  symbolic Bible prophecy. A day equals a year in symbolic Bible prophecy according to
• 7:51
  numbers fourteen thirty four and as we four to six and other places, and
• 7:57
  so four hundred and fifty seven to twenty seven a D. Four fifty seven
• 8:03
  BC to four fifty to twenty seven a D is four hundred and eighty three
• 8:09
  literal years. And that is when Jesus appears as a fulfillment of this prophecy.
• 8:18
  As a fulfillment of this prophecy, Jesus shows up as Messiah the Prince
• 8:24
  according to the language of Daniel, meaning the one who has anointed, the
• 8:28
  anointed one. Jesus is literally anointed by the Holy Ghost in the Jordan River
• 8:33
  when he is going through his baptism experience. Yes, and that was a
• 8:39
  fulfillment. Now the world sees Messiah the Christ, the anointed One, for
• 8:45
  the first time in that way. Yes, he was thirty years of age.
• 8:50
  But now we see him in his public ministry in a way as a
• 8:52
  fulfillment of the prophecy. And the thing that I love about this prophecy,
• 8:58
  this gospel according to Jesus, going back to Daniel, is that Daniel also
• 9:03
  was given a prediction by God. He was given a prediction that three and
• 9:09
  a half actual, specific literal years later Jesus would be cut off. He
• 9:16
  would be cut off not for himself, but for the people. Three and
• 9:20
  a half years later, Jesus would give his life so that we can live
• 9:26
  eternally. Jesus would fulfill his mission on earth, at least so he could
• 9:31
  say it is finished, in order to save us from our sins. The
• 9:35
  gospel according to Jesus was tactical, but it was also practical, and we'll
• 9:39
  read and study more about it in the coming days. Peace. Thanks for
• 9:45
  joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot live by bread alone,
• 9:50
  but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This has been
• 9:54
  your daily portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
