• 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.

  Speaker 2: that in just a moment. I know that sounds really
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: theol logical, and it is, but we'll make it simple.

• 1:04

  Speaker 2: and pray, and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us this new day. Thank you
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: for loving us more than we can even believe. Thank
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you for giving us the privilege of being cleansed by
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you in Jesus name. Amen, and a man again, the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: just and the Justifier. Okay, so let me explain this
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: one more again, like one more time I shared it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: quickly with you the other day. But God being just
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and the Justifier means that all of us have sinned
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and come short of the glory of God. The wages
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of sin is eternal death. So anybody who sins must
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: die like eternal death penalty. We're not talking about you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: like what humans go through on planet Earth. My mother
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: has passed away. She passed away in a tragic car
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: accident in twenty twenty. That is not what we're talking about,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: as tragic as it is, as disruptive to us as
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it was how much we missed her. That is, that
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: is not the wages of sin. That is something that
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: we see as a result of sin. Yes, but people
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: who die like that or in other ways, all are
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: going to be raised one way or the other, some
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: unto everlasting life, some unto condemnation. Okay, And so the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: wages of sin is death actually means that whoever sins
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: should die the second death eternal separation from God and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the burning happens in hell until that life is extinguished.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: This is what happens after the thousand years following the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: coming of Jesus Christ. Okay, so that's what we're talking about. Ah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But there's a problem. There's a problem. God loves us
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: so much. I know, I said problem. I know what
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I just said. God loves us so much, so much
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that what that he could not stand to watch us die.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So what happens Jesus Christ becomes our substitute. He takes
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on human flesh. This is why what we call the incarnation,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: or Jesus taking on human flesh, becoming like a human
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: being living on planet Earth. He was born unto Mary
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: right the power of the Holy Ghost overshadows her. She
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: bears him in nine months just like normal. And he
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is the son of God. And yet he comes through Mary.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And so as a human being, Jesus Christ bears the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: punishment that we deserve. He becomes our substitute. Just like
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the Old Testament writers would have shown us in the sanctuary.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: All of those innocent animals were representative of taking our punishment.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: But Jesus, the real Lamb of God, which taketh the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: way the sins of the world. He now becomes our substitute.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: He takes our punishment, and then he takes up his
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: life again and is of course in his glorified self again,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and he will live throughout eternity. He has given to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: us that life as a gift. So that means that
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the punishment that we deserve, he becomes our substitute. If
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we have faith in him, then we can be justified.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: He can be just He punishes sin, and he can
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: justify us, meaning he can look at us as if
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: we never sinned, how can he do that? Now we
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: can have on the righteousness of Christ. So when the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: law sees me, he it sees you. The law sees me,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the law sees you. But now we are covered in
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the righteousness of Christ. The judgment don't gavel down. Is innocent,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: not just not guilty. I wish I had the time
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: innocent why because Jesus was in his Did you did
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you follow all of that? I know we're trying to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: cram so much goodness into a couple of minutes. You're
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna need to pray and rewind this, Okay,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And so the lesson writer actually wants us to read
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: from the Bible Book of Romans, chapter three, uh, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: beginning at verse twenty three, Let's see how much we
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: can we can get. Actually, you know what, let me
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: let me go go quicker quicker. Romans Chapter five and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: verse eight encapsulates it. The Bible reads God commendeth his
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: love toward us in that while we were yet sinners,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Christ died for us. So I'm not gonna explain that further.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: It's what I just said in a little bit more.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And so these passages both the one I didn't read,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and this one reveal number one, the universal problem of sin.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: All of us have sinned. Of course, the devil and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: his angels have sinned, but they their chances, so they
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: can't be saved, but we can be saved. The universal
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: problem of sin. God's solution through Christ's death and resurrection, Yes,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and his ministry in heaven. The public display of God's
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: righteousness because he died on the cross and it was
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: well documented, like people saw this, and of course now
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: we still talk about it based on the Bible, the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: demonstration of God's love he gave us Jesus Christ. And finally,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the perfect balance of justice and mercy. God is just.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: He's righteous. Yes, the sinner must die, but his mercy
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: sees the death of Jesus Christ on our behalf as payment.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: He represents the human race here and as payment for
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the death penalty we deserve. Jesus paid it all, just
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: like the hymn writer wrote. You see, I'm so grateful.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: There's so much here. I know we don't have enough
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: time to cover it all. The lesson writer also wants
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: us to read from Genesis chapter three, verse fifteen and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter twelve. Verses ten through twelve. I'll just read
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the first one. In Genesis, chapter three and verse fifteen,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the Bible reads, and I will put hostility or enmity
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: between you and the woman, and between your offspring and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: her offspring. Her offspring will crush your head. So he's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: speaking directly to the devil who's using the serpent as
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a puppet, and you will bruise his heel. So Jesus
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: is going to crush the head of Satan. And Satan
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: is going to nip at the heels of Jesus. While
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: he lived on planet Earth, he nipped at his heels.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: He nips at the heels of the people who are
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: God's people, God's chill, and he nips at the heel.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But Christ in Us, the hope of Glory, finally crushes
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the head of Satan. And so this connection, the connection
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: between the two that we would have read, shows that
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: number one, the prophecy in Genesis, is a fulfillment in
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Christ's victory of prophecy. Right the number two, the Cross
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: dealt a fatal blow to Satan, crushed his head. Number three,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: victory is secured through the blood of the Lamb. For
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Satan's time now is limited because of God's decisive victory,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and we finally overcome him by the blood of the Lamb.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Make it a 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.
