  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that comes through Christ. Please help us to be reconciled.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: In Jesus's name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: just want to say a great big shout out to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: people who remember the gospel group. I don't know if
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that's the way you would say it, if it's the genre,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: but it's a Christian woman's singing group from back in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the day reconciled a couple of whom I actually grew
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: up with in New York City, And that brings to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: my mind how reconciliation. Reconciliation is music to God's ears.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Reconciliation is music to God's ears. Why because the way
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we were born the first go around. I know what
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I'm saying the first go around, that which is born
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: of flesh is flesh birth. That one, yeah, that one
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: is dissonant, That one is disharmonious, that one is hostile
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: toward God. Because we are not able in our flesh
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: based on our first birth to have harmony with God.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We just literally cannot do it. It's not possible. And
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: so because God loved the world so much and he
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: sent his son to save us from our sins, the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: purpose was reconciliation, to make us one with God. Atone
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: meant at one ment with God where we were fragmented
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and we were not unified with God. Now through Christ,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we are reconciled or made to be at one with God.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Aren't you glad that God made the plan for us,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: because if he had left it up to our diplomatic
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: process between humans and God, we would have been lost.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And so let me just say from the Reviewing Herald
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: article eighteen eighty four in the Cross of Christ, justice
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and mercy of God meet together. Justice requires let me
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: pause right here, that's not the quote. Now, justice requires
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that the soul that sins has to die the second death,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: eternal death. The soul that sineth it shall die. That's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the requirement of the law. There's no compromising with the law.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: There's no provision in the law. Now, if you look
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: at the mercy of God, it's like, okay, well, whoever
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: sins has to die. So what if now we have
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the perfect sacrifice standing in for and as the one
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: who actually sinned, and then the justice of the law
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: is met by executing the punishment on the victim, the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: innocent victim who's standing in for the one who actually
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: committed the sin crime. Do you see where we're going
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: with this? And since God did that through Christ and Jesus,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Christ now has raised and he took up his life again,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and now ever lives to make intercession for us. Now
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: he can have mercy on us because the requirements of
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the law are satisfied in Jesus having given his life
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: for us. So that means it's unnecessary. That's a word
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: that you seldom here in gospel teaching. It is unnecessary
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: for any human being to die the second death. Why
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: because if we choose to die the second death, it's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: meaning that we reject the sacrifice of Jesus. We say
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: we'll take it from here. Don't worry about it, I'll
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: pay for my own sin. Well, you can't pay for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: your own sin, because if you do, that's the end
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of the story. But in the person and work of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ and ministry of Jesus Christ, we can be
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: reconciled to God and live eternally. Let me read the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: quote without stopping. Now, in the Cross of Christ, the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: justice and mercy of God meet together. And the universe
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: sees that love not force and secures loyalty. Oh my,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and the universe that sees that love not force secures loyalty. Now,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: let me just say it like this. The universe is
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: not some like sort of I don't know, mystical entity
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like some people say. It's like some people are using
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the term the universe as a replacement for God. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it's but even the characteristics of quote the universe are
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: not exactly what God is. I'm not talking about none
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: of that that's confusing. We're talking about heavenly agencies. There
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: are beings that live in heavenly places. If you look
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in Revelation chapters four and five, you see some of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: those heavenly agencies that are not people who live on
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: planet Earth. I'll just lead that right there and so
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: well those beings, at minimum, the angels of God and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: et cetera. Those beings become more and more loyal because
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: they see the character of God as consistent. And I'm
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: grateful and we got to see that in the Ministry
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of Christ. And so from the book The Desire of Ages,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: page six hundred and fifty one, we read the Cross
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: of Christ will be the science, holy ghost and song.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I added holy ghost. My bad, this was really good
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: for me. Let me start again, the Cross of Christ
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: with the will be the science and song of the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: redeemed through all eternity. Do you know why? First of all,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: just like while I'm reading the quote, I was immediately
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: inspired to worship. That is what's going to happen all
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: throughout eternity when people see what to what lengths God
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: went in order to save sinners. Aren't you glad that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: he went to the to that length and not only
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the song but the science. Like wait a minute, this
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: is how if you look at it forensically, wait a minute,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: if you look at it scientifically, wait, it required all
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: of this in excruciating detail for each one of the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: people who are now redeemed to be redeemed and all
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you can do in that reality is worship God. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: so our first lesson, our first lesson is reconciliation flows
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: from the fullness of God dwelling in Christ. The Bible
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: reads in Colossians chapter one and verse nineteen, for it
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: pleased the Father that in him should all the fullness dwell.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: That means the totality and completeness of who God is.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And so Paul is affirming that everything that makes God
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: who he is resides fully in the person of Jesus Christ.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Nothing of God is absent from Christ. The Father's eternal nature,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: his creative authority, his moral perfection, and redemptive wisdom are
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: all present in Jesus Christ. This fullness is not symbolic,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It is not a type. It is not partial. It
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: is the complete. It is complete in Jesus the person.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: The action step is to trust Jesus fully rather than selectively.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Jesus is not the vice God. And then, finally, our
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: lesson the cross is the means by which reconciliation is accomplished.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: And I thank God, do you make it a great day? 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,
