09 05 2024 The Coming of the Son of Man · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

0:01
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
0:04
Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
0:08
Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
0:12
Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
0:15
Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
0:19
Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
0:23
Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
0:28
Speaker 1: Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

0:43
Speaker 2: where we give you God's word every single day, and
0:46
Speaker 2: today is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson
0:49
Speaker 2: study series through the Book of Mark, and our caption
0:52
Speaker 2: for today is the Coming of the Son of Man.
0:55
Speaker 2: The Coming of the Son of Man. We'll get into
0:59
Speaker 2: that in just a moment, but first I'd like to
1:00
Speaker 2: say welcome to you and ask you to please go
1:02
Speaker 2: over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please join our
1:05
Speaker 2: online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book, and
1:09
Speaker 2: let us know where you are in the world. At
1:12
Speaker 2: your Daily Portion dot com. This is one of the
1:15
Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
1:19
Speaker 2: go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
1:22
Speaker 2: Father in heaven, thank you for giving us this day.
1:25
Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us our daily bread, including this word.
1:29
Speaker 2: I pray God that you will prepare us for the
1:32
Speaker 2: coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name,
1:36
Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and a man again, so much to say,
1:43
Speaker 2: so little time. Let me ask you a question. Are
1:45
Speaker 2: you looking forward to Jesus coming? Are you looking forward
1:49
Speaker 2: to the day that Jesus Christ will come. I also
1:52
Speaker 2: remember a song that I used to hear in what
1:55
Speaker 2: we used to call tent efforts. Now we call them series,
1:58
Speaker 2: but tent efforts, and many times they were like twelve
2:01
Speaker 2: weeks in length when I was a young guy in
2:04
Speaker 2: the seventies and eighties, early eighties. And I remember a song.
2:08
Speaker 2: I remember a song they would sing, are you ready
2:11
Speaker 2: for Jesus to Come? Are you ready for Jesus to Come?
2:14
Speaker 2: And it's like wow, And then at the end the
2:17
Speaker 2: crescendo or the build up to the grand finale, if
2:21
Speaker 2: you want to say, of course, I know I'm being
2:24
Speaker 2: dramatic here, but it was to where you get to
2:28
Speaker 2: the day that when you look into the sky you say,
2:31
Speaker 2: this is my Lord. Are you ready for Jesus to come?
2:36
Speaker 2: That is the question. Really, I think we need to
2:38
Speaker 2: be answering and asking because because there are so many
2:42
Speaker 2: people who are just livings less and aimless lives in
2:47
Speaker 2: these days, just worried about the political cycle or the
2:50
Speaker 2: news cycle, or what the crime rate is, or things
2:54
Speaker 2: related to things that don't really even matter. I'm saying.
2:57
Speaker 2: Sometimes we get hyper focused on our bills. We get
3:02
Speaker 2: hyper focused on the things that we do on a
3:04
Speaker 2: day to day basis, even good things like if you're matriculating,
3:07
Speaker 2: you are in school to earn your PhD. In filling
3:12
Speaker 2: the blank subject area. Sometimes we become hyper focused and
3:17
Speaker 2: then forget that Jesus literally is coming back that he promised.
3:21
Speaker 2: Jesus promised that he will come again and receive his people,
3:25
Speaker 2: receive us unto himself. That where he is there, we
3:29
Speaker 2: may be also. But there is a time of preparation.
3:32
Speaker 2: We need to understand that the lives that we live
3:35
Speaker 2: on a day to day basis. Four minutes into our
3:38
Speaker 2: broadcast this morning, or just shy of four minutes. God
3:42
Speaker 2: is speaking to each of us. He is preparing us
3:46
Speaker 2: for yes, a coming crisis. Yes, He's preparing us to
3:51
Speaker 2: be victorious through that time, and not to have to
3:54
Speaker 2: be fearful, but to be overcomers, so that Jesus can
3:57
Speaker 2: keep his promise. He said, if when you overcome to
4:01
Speaker 2: him or her that overcometh, he will grant to sit
4:04
Speaker 2: in his father's throne, as he has overcome and is
4:08
Speaker 2: set in his father's throne. And so we look forward
4:11
Speaker 2: to the day that Jesus Christ will come. And so
4:14
Speaker 2: we begin our discussion from Mark chapter thirteen, and I
4:18
Speaker 2: will read beginning at verse twenty four. The Bible reads,
4:21
Speaker 2: but in those days after the trip that tribulation, when
4:25
Speaker 2: we were referencing yesterday, the sun shall be darkened, and
4:29
Speaker 2: the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
4:33
Speaker 2: of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
4:36
Speaker 2: heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see, Oh,
4:41
Speaker 2: then shall they see? What shall they see? Brother? Mark?
4:44
Speaker 2: What shall they see? Then shall they see? The Son
4:47
Speaker 2: of Man coming in the clouds? How is he going
4:50
Speaker 2: to come? He's coming with great power and glory. You see,
4:57
Speaker 2: when Jesus came the first time he came, He came in.
5:01
Speaker 2: He came in a way that so many people missed,
5:05
Speaker 2: not because they needed to miss it, but because they
5:09
Speaker 2: were not careful to see him come. They missed it,
5:13
Speaker 2: even though we see that there was a bright, shining
5:17
Speaker 2: light in the sky. And then the retinue of angels
5:21
Speaker 2: cried out and sung glory to God in the highest
5:24
Speaker 2: and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. And only some
5:29
Speaker 2: wise men from the east were able to come, because
5:33
Speaker 2: they were the only ones careful to come. But I
5:36
Speaker 2: believe the Bible writer said to those who look for him,
5:40
Speaker 2: he shall appear a second time without sin unto salvation.
5:45
Speaker 2: We're looking forward to the day that he comes in
5:48
Speaker 2: great power and glory. The Bible teaches us that every
5:52
Speaker 2: eye will see him m that God's people will be raised,
5:56
Speaker 2: and there will be a small group of people that
5:59
Speaker 2: actually that actually crucified Jesus, that he will raise as well,
6:03
Speaker 2: according to Revelation, chapter one and verse seven, I wish
6:07
Speaker 2: I had the time, the Bible continues in verse twenty seven.
6:11
Speaker 2: And then shall he send his angels and shall gather
6:15
Speaker 2: together his elect that means the people who love him
6:18
Speaker 2: from the four winds from the uttermost part of the
6:22
Speaker 2: earth and to the uttermost part under heaven. Now learn
6:27
Speaker 2: the parable of the fig tree. When her branch is
6:29
Speaker 2: yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that the
6:31
Speaker 2: summer is near. Do you realize, brothers and sisters, that
6:35
Speaker 2: we are nearing home. We are near the second coming,
6:39
Speaker 2: because we see signs, just like you can see in
6:42
Speaker 2: the fig tree, that Jesus is almost here. And the
6:45
Speaker 2: ultimate sign he said that this Gospel of the Kingdom
6:48
Speaker 2: shall be preached into all the world for a witness,
6:52
Speaker 2: and then and only then shall the income okay. And
6:54
Speaker 2: so the Bible says here sel verse twenty nine, in
6:58
Speaker 2: like manner, when ye sh shall see these things come
7:01
Speaker 2: to pass, know that it is nigh even at the doors. Verily,
7:07
Speaker 2: I say unto you that this generation shall not pass
7:10
Speaker 2: till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall
7:14
Speaker 2: pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But
7:18
Speaker 2: of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not
7:22
Speaker 2: the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but
7:26
Speaker 2: the Father. And so we are looking forward to the day.
7:29
Speaker 2: What day, the day that Jesus comes back? Well, why
7:32
Speaker 2: is that important? Because Jesus promised he would return, and
7:35
Speaker 2: he promised that his reward would be with him. He
7:38
Speaker 2: said that he will give to every person according as
7:41
Speaker 2: our work shall be. And so, if you are tired,
7:44
Speaker 2: you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, look
7:47
Speaker 2: forward to the day of the coming of the Lord.
7:49
Speaker 2: If you are tired of seeing the crime and all
7:52
Speaker 2: of the things that happen on planet Earth, the unpredictable
7:56
Speaker 2: weather patterns, look forward to the day that Jesus comes.
7:59
Speaker 2: If you are looking looking forward to not just being
8:01
Speaker 2: tired of stuff, or not wanting to have certain negative
8:05
Speaker 2: things happen, or looking forward to some reward that is
8:09
Speaker 2: different than what we have here. If you are looking
8:11
Speaker 2: forward to the day that you can finally look at
8:14
Speaker 2: God face to face, you can experience Jesus, the Son
8:19
Speaker 2: of God, and God the Son face to face, and
8:21
Speaker 2: experience the Holy Spirit in a way that we can't
8:24
Speaker 2: wait to see and know, Yes, and that retinue of
8:28
Speaker 2: angels who excel in strength, who have been protective over
8:32
Speaker 2: us since there were human beings on planet Earth. If
8:35
Speaker 2: you're looking forward to the day that you can finally
8:39
Speaker 2: relate to God and ask him those questions that you've
8:41
Speaker 2: been asking in prayer, but he wasn't able to reveal
8:44
Speaker 2: to you because you couldn't take it. Then, Ah, I
8:48
Speaker 2: can't wait until the day that I grow up to
8:50
Speaker 2: the stature that he intended from before the beginning. I
8:53
Speaker 2: can't wait until the day that I begin to understand
8:57
Speaker 2: more details of what actually happened to where God loves
9:01
Speaker 2: us so much that he would go to such great
9:04
Speaker 2: lengths to save us. I will get to meet Adam
9:07
Speaker 2: and Abigail, and King David and some others. I'll get
9:10
Speaker 2: to see Elijah who never tasted of death, Enoch, who
9:14
Speaker 2: never tasted of death. Those people who were raised at
9:17
Speaker 2: the time of Jesus, now i'll know who they are,
9:20
Speaker 2: because I don't know for sure who they are today.
9:23
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the day, because really and truly
9:26
Speaker 2: Jesus is looking forward to the day. The dead in
9:28
Speaker 2: Christ will rise first and with those who are alive
9:32
Speaker 2: and remain, they will be caught up together with those
9:36
Speaker 2: who are alive and remain and meet Jesus in the air.
9:39
Speaker 2: And then we will be ever with the Lord. Wherever
9:42
Speaker 2: Jesus is there will we be also make it a
9:44
Speaker 2: great day.
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,
