Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
- 0:22Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
- 0:26Speaker 1: vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
- 0:31Speaker 1: author speaker, Elle David Harris.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Tuesday, September seventeen,
- 0:37Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
- 0:40Speaker 2: I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
- 0:43Speaker 2: where we give you God's Word every single day, and
- 0:46Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
- 0:49Speaker 2: study series through the Book of Mark and our caption
- 0:52Speaker 2: for today is the Crucifixion. The Crucifixion. We'll get into
- 0:57Speaker 2: that in just a moment, but first I'd like to
- 0:59Speaker 2: say welcome to you and ask you to please go
- 1:00Speaker 2: over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our
- 1:04Speaker 2: online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book and
- 1:07Speaker 2: let us know where you are in the world. At
- 1:10Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the
- 1:13Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
- 1:18Speaker 2: go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,
- 1:21Speaker 2: We thank you for this day. Thank you for giving
- 1:25Speaker 2: us Jesus. Thank you for not giving up on the
- 1:29Speaker 2: process of saving us. Thank You for doing what we
- 1:33Speaker 2: could not possibly do in order to deliver us from
- 1:35Speaker 2: ourselves and the enemy bother. I just pray now that
- 1:39Speaker 2: you will transform somebody's life today, beginning with me. Transform us, Father,
- 1:44Speaker 2: so that we will choose today for the last time,
- 1:48Speaker 2: for the final time, that we will serve you with
- 1:51Speaker 2: everything that we have and everything that we are. We're
- 1:54Speaker 2: living in the last Day's God, and so your power
- 1:57Speaker 2: is present in the way that we've never seen before,
- 1:59Speaker 2: to hear, heel, and to deliver and to make us holy.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Please help us to accept this power in Jesus name.
- 2:07Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again the Crucifixion. There is
- 2:12Speaker 2: so much to say, so little time, but I just
- 2:17Speaker 2: want to say, thank God, thank God for loving us.
- 2:21Speaker 2: I mean, if you believe that God loves you and
- 2:24Speaker 2: you are grateful, I need you to type in the
- 2:26Speaker 2: chat thank God. I need you to type in the
- 2:28Speaker 2: chat thank God, because listen to see what Jesus went
- 2:32Speaker 2: through just to save us. I'm thinking, couldn't there have
- 2:35Speaker 2: been another pathway? But then again, Jesus said the same
- 2:39Speaker 2: thing when he was in the garden of get seventy
- 2:41Speaker 2: and he was like, Father, please just reveal, like, reveal
- 2:45Speaker 2: the pathway to success in this regard? Could you find
- 2:49Speaker 2: another way?
- 2:50Speaker 1: Like?
- 2:50Speaker 2: Is there another way for this mission to save people
- 2:55Speaker 2: from their sins? Is there another way to do this?
- 2:59Speaker 2: Then he said, nevertheless, not as thy will, but as
- 3:02Speaker 2: thou willed. And so now we see that Jesus resigned
- 3:06Speaker 2: himself to go through right through to the bitter end,
- 3:11Speaker 2: to deliver people who many times didn't even love him.
- 3:15Speaker 2: In return, God, help us, help us to surrender to you.
- 3:20Speaker 2: We read now in the Book of Mark, chapter fifteen,
- 3:22Speaker 2: beginning at verse twenty one. This needs to be a
- 3:24Speaker 2: worship setting. Brothers and sisters. I'm not teaching you anything.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You're learning from the Holy Ghost how to yield your
- 3:32Speaker 2: will to God. In this very moment, he is bringing
- 3:35Speaker 2: before you the scenes of the crucifixion, the scenes of
- 3:39Speaker 2: Jesus giving himself so that you can live eternally, so
- 3:43Speaker 2: that you will no longer be bound to abuse. You
- 3:46Speaker 2: will never be bound again to the rum bottle. You
- 3:49Speaker 2: don't have to be bound again to substance abuse. You
- 3:52Speaker 2: don't have to be bound to a criminal mindset. You
- 3:55Speaker 2: don't have to be bound to looking at yourself as
- 3:58Speaker 2: less than you can. Know that you are King's kids, royalty,
- 4:03Speaker 2: a royal and holy priesthood in generation, that God has
- 4:07Speaker 2: called you out of the darkness into this marvelous light.
- 4:10Speaker 2: He's giving us the privilege to do this together in
- 4:12Speaker 2: real time four minutes after the beginning of this broadcast.
- 4:17Speaker 2: This is a place of holiness. This is Bethel. This
- 4:21Speaker 2: is the house of God in this moment, if you
- 4:24Speaker 2: are receiving him. In verse twenty one, the Bible says,
- 4:28Speaker 2: and they compel one Simon, a Sirenian who passed by
- 4:33Speaker 2: coming out of the country. See, they are actually taking
- 4:35Speaker 2: Jesus to Galgatha in order to actually crucify him. And
- 4:41Speaker 2: so they see this dude's Simon, And then it says,
- 4:43Speaker 2: the father of Alexander and rufus to bear the cross.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Are you willing to bear your cross? Brothers and sisters?
- 4:51Speaker 1: Huh?
- 4:51Speaker 2: Verse twenty two, And they bring him unto the place Galgatha,
- 4:56Speaker 2: which is being interpreted the place of the skull. And
- 4:59Speaker 2: they gave him to drink wine mingled with merr but
- 5:04Speaker 2: he received it not see. Jesus knew that even though
- 5:08Speaker 2: they gave people these kinds of things to benumb their sensibilities,
- 5:12Speaker 2: and for whatever weird reason, they're about to murder people
- 5:16Speaker 2: on or or meet out justice on people. It just
- 5:19Speaker 2: depends on who's up there. But they're about to crucify people,
- 5:23Speaker 2: and now they're trying to give them something to palliate them,
- 5:27Speaker 2: to ease the pain. That's weird. But Jesus said, no,
- 5:30Speaker 2: I'm not going to accept anything, especially not an inebriant.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I'm not going to accept anything to dull the pain.
- 5:38Speaker 2: I'm going to trust God, my father, and I'm going
- 5:40Speaker 2: to drink to the bitter dregs everything that I have
- 5:43Speaker 2: to drink in order. And when I say drink, I'm
- 5:46Speaker 2: saying proverbially symbolically, in order for you brothers and sisters,
- 5:52Speaker 2: for me to be saved. I thank God. And he
- 5:54Speaker 2: said no, no, I'm not receiving that. Verse twenty four.
- 5:57Speaker 2: And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,
- 6:01Speaker 2: what casting lots upon them ah, what every man should take.
- 6:06Speaker 2: And it was the third hour, and they crucified him,
- 6:10Speaker 2: and the superscription of his accusation was written over him,
- 6:15Speaker 2: the King of the Jews. Of all things that they
- 6:18Speaker 2: could have accused Jesus of, of all things that could
- 6:23Speaker 2: have been he could have been guilty of. This is
- 6:26Speaker 2: all they could come up with. That was the accusation.
- 6:30Speaker 2: And for this you beat and scourged him. For this,
- 6:35Speaker 2: you hit him in the head with a stick for this,
- 6:37Speaker 2: You put a crown of thorns on his head on
- 6:42Speaker 2: for this, you stab him in the side for this,
- 6:44Speaker 2: you rip out his beard. For this, you mock him
- 6:47Speaker 2: and take him from mock trial to mock trial, and
- 6:50Speaker 2: make up false accusations for this, for this verse twenty seven.
- 6:56Speaker 2: And when they crucify two thieves, one was on his
- 6:59Speaker 2: right hand, and then the other on his left. And
- 7:02Speaker 2: the scripture was fulfilled, which said he was numbered with
- 7:06Speaker 2: the transgressors. And they that passed by railed him, wagging
- 7:11Speaker 2: their heads and saying, ah, thou that destroyest the temple.
- 7:16Speaker 2: See I don't even want to read this, brothers and sisters,
- 7:18Speaker 2: but this is the record. You destroyed the temple and
- 7:21Speaker 2: buildes did in three days, save thyself. Come down from
- 7:24Speaker 2: the cross. You see, if Jesus had saved himself, you
- 7:27Speaker 2: would have been lost, my dear brother. If Jesus had
- 7:30Speaker 2: saved himself, you would have been lost. My dear sister.
- 7:35Speaker 2: If Jesus would have saved himself, my son Josiah would
- 7:38Speaker 2: have been lost. My wife Simone would have been lost.
- 7:42Speaker 2: I would have been lost. Jesus chose to save us
- 7:46Speaker 2: rather than to save himself, and the Bible continues. The
- 7:50Speaker 2: Bible continues, yeah verse thirty one. Likewise, also the chief priests,
- 7:57Speaker 2: these are supposed to be God's people, leaders of God's people,
- 8:00Speaker 2: mocking and set among themselves with the scribes. He saved
- 8:03Speaker 2: others himself, he cannot save. Let Jesus, the King of Israel,
- 8:08Speaker 2: descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. See.
- 8:12Speaker 2: If Jesus's miracles, if Jesus's kind heartedness, if Jesus speaking
- 8:19Speaker 2: directly to their needs, Jesus relieving their oppression, Jesus coming
- 8:24Speaker 2: into their lives and transforming people all around them, was
- 8:28Speaker 2: not sufficient to convert these people. They were lying and
- 8:32Speaker 2: wicked at that moment when they said, if he just
- 8:34Speaker 2: does one more thing, then we will serve him. Brothers
- 8:37Speaker 2: and sisters, we need to be honest with ourselves and
- 8:39Speaker 2: honest with God. If God is good, then serve him now.
- 8:43Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I'm talking about at nine minutes
- 8:46Speaker 2: after the hour, eight minutes roughly after the hour, I
- 8:48Speaker 2: am saying that if God is good, then worship him now,
- 8:51Speaker 2: do not write him a prescription. If you will just
- 8:54Speaker 2: do this for me, then I'll worship you. If you'll
- 8:56Speaker 2: just do that for me, then I'll worship you. If
- 8:59Speaker 2: you'll relieve me this suffering, if you will deliver my
- 9:02Speaker 2: husband my wife of their disease, then I will worship you.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Putting conditions on the power and love of God. Worship
- 9:09Speaker 2: God because he's worthy right now in twenty twenty four,
- 9:13Speaker 2: on September seventeen, Jesus is worthy of our worship at minimum,
- 9:19Speaker 2: worship him today. And the Bible says that it was
- 9:22Speaker 2: the sixth hour. It was the sixth hour. They were
- 9:24Speaker 2: reviling him. It was the sixth hour, and their darkness
- 9:29Speaker 2: came over the whole land, and then until the ninth hour. Then,
- 9:33Speaker 2: of course Jesus cried out to his father, why have
- 9:36Speaker 2: you forsaken me? What a terrible thing, But Jesus he
- 9:41Speaker 2: did it for us. Worship him peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
