Latest / Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris / 07 29 2025 Pesach
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, July
- 0:36Speaker 2: twenty nine, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El
- 0:40Speaker 2: David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
- 0:43Speaker 2: Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day,
- 0:46Speaker 2: and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
- 0:50Speaker 2: Lesson study series through the Book of Exodus, and our
- 0:53Speaker 2: caption for today is Paysock paysock and yeah, that has
- 0:59Speaker 2: to do with passover. Before we get into that, I'd
- 1:03Speaker 2: like to just say welcome to everyone joining us, especially
- 1:06Speaker 2: those joining us for the very first time. I'm asking
- 1:09Speaker 2: you to please go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Please join our online community. Pick up your Daily Portion
- 1:16Speaker 2: Life application Guide and let us know where you are
- 1:20Speaker 2: in the world at your daily portion dot com. This
- 1:24Speaker 2: is one of the ways that we continue to build
- 1:27Speaker 2: faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray and then
- 1:31Speaker 2: we will get underway. Father, we thank you for this day.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Thank you for being our paysock, our passover. Thank you
- 1:40Speaker 2: for giving us the opportunity to come together and give
- 1:44Speaker 2: thanks together. You said, where two or three are gathered
- 1:48Speaker 2: together in your name, then you would be in the
- 1:50Speaker 2: midst of us. So thank you being for being among
- 1:54Speaker 2: us around the world in Jesus name. I pray, Amen
- 1:59Speaker 2: and Amen again. Paysock big word, but even bigger meaning.
- 2:04Speaker 2: And so I'm going to become a little bit. I'm
- 2:07Speaker 2: gonna be literal at this moment. So the root word
- 2:11Speaker 2: for paysock is to pass over, to skip, or to spare.
- 2:21Speaker 2: I said to pass over, to skip, or to spare. Now,
- 2:27Speaker 2: you wouldn't want to be passed over or skipped for
- 2:30Speaker 2: something wonderful, right, You don't want to be passed over
- 2:33Speaker 2: for that promotion. You don't want to be skipped in
- 2:36Speaker 2: the line as you're just about to get that thing
- 2:38Speaker 2: that you've been waiting four hours online for. You don't
- 2:42Speaker 2: want to be spared in certain situations. However, However, if
- 2:50Speaker 2: we are being spared from eternal condemnation, if we are
- 2:53Speaker 2: being spared from separation from God, if we are being
- 2:57Speaker 2: skipped for condemnatory judgment, like if we are being passed
- 3:03Speaker 2: over when the death Angel is passing through through where
- 3:08Speaker 2: the people are that don't love God, then I think
- 3:10Speaker 2: this is a reason to be thankful. And so this
- 3:13Speaker 2: describes the moment, obviously that Yahweh, Blessed be his name,
- 3:18Speaker 2: spared the people of God's homes through the final plague
- 3:24Speaker 2: in Egypt in Exodus chapter twelve, based on the blood
- 3:27Speaker 2: of the lamb placed on the door posts. It became
- 3:31Speaker 2: the name of the feast that commemorates the event passover.
- 3:36Speaker 2: And obviously, I will say, obviously the people of God
- 3:40Speaker 2: in the last days are no longer celebrating it in
- 3:43Speaker 2: the traditional sense, not the traditional sense. We have the
- 3:48Speaker 2: Lord's Supper now as our commemoration of what God did
- 3:53Speaker 2: for the people of God. Then, but let me read
- 3:56Speaker 2: from a few places. One from Patriarchs and Prophets, page
- 4:01Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy seven. The passover was to be
- 4:04Speaker 2: both a memorial. Remember, they were to teach their children,
- 4:08Speaker 2: Like what was the meaning of this pesah? Like what
- 4:11Speaker 2: is the meaning of this a memorial and a prophecy?
- 4:16Speaker 2: It commemorated the deliverance from Egypt. But let me just say,
- 4:21Speaker 2: our only purpose for looking backwards in this case, looking
- 4:25Speaker 2: back into the history of the people of God, is
- 4:28Speaker 2: so that we can thank God for what he had done,
- 4:32Speaker 2: but also what He is doing in us even today.
- 4:36Speaker 2: That is it pointed to the greater deliverance from sin.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Are you thankful that God is sparing you from sin?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Are you thankful that God is passing over you if
- 4:51Speaker 2: you are His child, so that you will not be
- 4:54Speaker 2: destroyed based on your sin? Aren't you glad that you
- 4:59Speaker 2: can walk in the newness of life today? Coming in
- 5:03Speaker 2: from the Desire of Ages, page seventy seven, Each family
- 5:07Speaker 2: must show personal faith in the blood of the Lamb.
- 5:11Speaker 2: The service was individual. I want you to get that.
- 5:15Speaker 2: It's not Grandma's connection with God. It's not Grandpa's connection
- 5:20Speaker 2: with God. It's not your uncle or your auntie, your guardian,
- 5:24Speaker 2: the persons who came before you. It is all about you.
- 5:28Speaker 2: It's like that song, it's me, It's me, It's me.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Oh Lord, Standing in the need of prayer, not my mama,
- 5:34Speaker 2: not my papa. But it's me, o Lord, I'm the
- 5:37Speaker 2: one standing in the need of prayer. But I get
- 5:39Speaker 2: to now be covered in the blood in the same way. Yes,
- 5:42Speaker 2: I'm grateful when my mama and my papa were covered.
- 5:45Speaker 2: I'm grateful that people, hundreds of thousands of you who
- 5:48Speaker 2: are watching and listening every day are being covered by
- 5:52Speaker 2: the blood of the Lamb. I'm thankful for that, But
- 5:54Speaker 2: it needs to be me. Oh Lord. It's solemn, and
- 5:58Speaker 2: it's also joyful, so we don't have to have that
- 6:01Speaker 2: solemn face at all times. There are times that we
- 6:04Speaker 2: we jump up and praise God for the great things
- 6:07Speaker 2: that He has done for us. This is why the
- 6:09Speaker 2: Bible talks about that will we will sing the song
- 6:13Speaker 2: of Moses and the Lamb, just like Miriam and her
- 6:17Speaker 2: sisters did back in Exodus chapter fifteen. Yes, so Exodus
- 6:22Speaker 2: fifteen and Revelation fifteen go together, and we will rejoice,
- 6:26Speaker 2: and we should start today and then from the book
- 6:30Speaker 2: The Story of Redemption, page one hundred and twenty one,
- 6:32Speaker 2: the lamb was a symbol or type of Christ, the
- 6:36Speaker 2: blood shielding the door. Did you hear that word shielding?
- 6:41Speaker 2: The door was a symbol or a type of his atonement.
- 6:46Speaker 2: That means that we become at one with God. The
- 6:51Speaker 2: unleavened bread was a symbol of purity. So much I
- 6:57Speaker 2: could say, But God still passes overs who are covered
- 7:02Speaker 2: in the blood of Jesus Ha. The peasock isn't about
- 7:07Speaker 2: just rituals from back then. It's about the trust in
- 7:11Speaker 2: God's provision for salvation. So much more I could say,
- 7:16Speaker 2: But let me go now to three lessons. Three lessons
- 7:20Speaker 2: in particular, the first from Exodus, chapter twelve and verse thirteen.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Let me just say again that repetition deepens the impression.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Now we're going to attach it to actual scriptures. And
- 7:34Speaker 2: the blood shall be to you for a token upon
- 7:37Speaker 2: the houses where ye are, And when I see the blood,
- 7:42Speaker 2: I will pass over you. And so the action for
- 7:48Speaker 2: this particular lesson is claim daily the blood of Jesus.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I said, claim daily. I mean, even in this moment,
- 7:57Speaker 2: the blood of Jesus over your life, life and your
- 8:00Speaker 2: household in prayer. Have you done that? For today you're awake,
- 8:04Speaker 2: you're listening to me. Hopefully you w' have already connected
- 8:07Speaker 2: to God. Apart from this broadcast, claim the blood over
- 8:12Speaker 2: you and your household in prayer, choose obedience that activates
- 8:17Speaker 2: the divine covering over your life. Number two comes in
- 8:21Speaker 2: from Hebrews chapter eleven and verse twenty eight. Through faith,
- 8:25Speaker 2: he kept passover and sprinkling of blood, lest he that
- 8:31Speaker 2: destroyed the first born should touch them. And so the
- 8:35Speaker 2: step is, don't just believe in the promises of God
- 8:39Speaker 2: in air quotes, actually act upon them. Align your behavior
- 8:46Speaker 2: with your belief. Salvation required faith, but it needed to
- 8:52Speaker 2: be acted upon. And then finally, in First Corinthians, chapter
- 8:56Speaker 2: five and verse seven, the Bible reads, for even Christ,
- 8:59Speaker 2: our passover is sacrificed for us. The blood of the
- 9:05Speaker 2: lamb obviously points forward, I can say, obviously in twenty
- 9:09Speaker 2: twenty five obviously points forward, pointed forward to Jesus's redeeming work.
- 9:16Speaker 2: So accept this today. No, no, no, don't accept this.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Accept him today. Accept Jesus's sacrifice for you, not just
- 9:25Speaker 2: for the whole world. Yes, for God so loved the
- 9:28Speaker 2: world that he gave. But we're talking about you, like
- 9:31Speaker 2: fill in your name here and let the truth of
- 9:34Speaker 2: the Gospel shape your identity and your decisions. If you're
- 9:39Speaker 2: a child of the King, covered and being passed over. Yeah,
- 9:43Speaker 2: then act like it.
- 9:44Speaker 1: That's your gag in joining us listening friends, Always remember
- 9:48Speaker 1: we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word
- 9:51Speaker 1: that comes from the mouth of God. This has been
- 9:54Speaker 1: your daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a
- 9:57Speaker 1: great day, yeah,
