• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19

  Speaker 2: Portion dot com. This is one of the ways we
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: continue to build faith in fellowship. Let's pray, Father, thank
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you for this weak time, and I'm asking you to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: help us to not be in the middle of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: road though in our relationship with you, help us to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: be firmly on your side. And finally, Lord, finally get
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to see you face to face very soon. In Jesus' name,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I pray Amen and amen again, follow the lamb, Follow
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the lamb. Yes, I'm going to jump into the middle
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of the lesson because the lesson writer said something very interesting.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Surely the greatest blessing of heaven will be to finally
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: see Jesus and to thank him in person. For what
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: he has done for us on this fallen earth. We
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: will want to lavish our adoration and praise and worship
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to him for saving us by his own suffering on
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the cross, For from excuse me, eternal death. Worthy is
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm thankful that we have that possibility model. We're
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: looking forward to the day that that will be our reality.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And John the lesson writer said, when Jesus lived on
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: planet Earth and he was approaching where John was baptizing
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in the Jordan River, he said, behold the Lamb of God,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: which taketh away the sin of the world. So Jesus
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: was about to become, just a few years later, become
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the sacrifice in reality, the innocent victim who would stand
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in our place and take the punishment that we deserve
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: so we can receive the reward that he reserves. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: so it's our privilege today to follow Jesus, follow the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Lamb wherever he goes. In Isaiah chapter twenty five and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: verse eight, we read that one day this is what's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. He will swallow up death with victory. So
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: if Jesus moves into victory, do you want to follow
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Jesus there? Yes or yes? Yes? He will swallow up
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: death in victory, and the Lord God will do what
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: wipe away all tears from off their faces. If the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: sovereign Lord blessed be his name, is wiping away all
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of our tears, if that's the direction he's going, do
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you want to follow him there? Yes? Or yes? You see,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes people are chasing death, people are chasing trials and tribulations.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: People are chasing by our actions, the things that do
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: not please God. And God is saying, listen, I am
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: giving you the privilege of following me to victory, following
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: me to where your tears will be wiped away from
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: your faces. Are you going to follow me? Of course,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: in Revelation twenty one and verse four we read something
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: ver very similar, and so our first lesson is simply
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: follow the lamb. Follow the lamb. Hmm. God is going
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to remove all of those things, those impediments to eternal bliss.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: He's going to remove all of that finally, And so
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: God's promise includes a full removal of suffering, a full
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and complete removal of pain and loss, a full and
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: complete removal of death. Death will end completely. So what
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: does the action step in that vein? Then hold on
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to God's promise today when facing difficulty. Let his future
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: define your perspective. Can I say that again? Let God's
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: future what he has promised, what he has planned for us.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Let his future do what define your perspective on life
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: when you're going through trials and tribulations. Let that future
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that God has promised define how you see things. In
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: our second lesson, we go to Revelation chapter seven and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: verse seventeen. Hopefully you're either writing this down or you've
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: outlined it if it's in the text of our Saba
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: School quarterly. Yes, the Bible reads for the lamb, which
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters. You
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: know this is the ultimate experience. Yes, of course. In
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: John chapter six we see a symbolic reality there where
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: we eat off the flesh of Christ and drink of
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: his blood. And that provides a specific and particular benefit
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that we will never hunger, neither shall we thirst again
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: when we imbi. But who God is that gives us
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: spiritual sustenance. But in this imagery, we're going to receive
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: something special, even physical. When we are in eternity with God.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He's going to physically take us to those living fountains
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of waters. He's literally going to feed us minimally from
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the Tree of Life, which bears twelve manner of fruits,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: one for each season. Did you notice this said each season?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? Each season? That's a long story,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: isn't it. But it's a glorious one. And in John
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: chapter one and verse thirty six and thirty seven, we
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: see John again saying, behold the Lamb of God. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the two disciples heard him speak, and they follow Jesus. So,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: when God is pronounced in the place, do you follow him?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: When Jesus's arrival is announced, are you following him? When
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: he calls time for prayer? Are you following Jesus when
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: he calls time for praise and time for meditation? When
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: he is giving you the privilege to show gratitud to
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: are you following Jesus? There behold the Lamb of God,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: which taketh away the sins of the world. And they
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: followed him. They walked behind and aligned with one, two, three, four,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: five syllable word I cannot pronounce in the Greek means
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to walk behind and to align with Jesus. And so
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Jesus leads, leads as both a lamb and a shepherd.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Those who follow him now will continue with him forever.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I want you to get practice practice now. Wherever Jesus goes,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: where without leadst I will follow. If you have to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: go down through some trials, if you have to go
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: down through the valley of the Shadow of death, don't
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: fear any evil. Why because the lamb is with me,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: God's rod, in Christ his staff, they shall comfort me.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: So and so Jesus will lead us. What is the practice,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: then the action step? Make a conscious decision right now
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: while I'm talking to you. Follow Jesus in all of
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: your choices, no matter what is going on around you,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: no matter what circumstances you face, no matter what other
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: humans impact your time or space. Make a decision right now,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: not just in your beliefs, but in your actions, that
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you will follow him, that you will follow him. Again,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I'll read this quote one more time. I said it,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: but let me read it from the book The Desire
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: of Ages, page eight hundred and thirty. Those who follow
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Christ now will follow him in the world to come.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Follow the Lamb brothers and sisters, and you will not
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: get lost. Shout to Pastor Lumston, make it a great
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: 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.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
