05 23 2024 Jesus, Our Advocate in the Judgment · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
• 0:20
  of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
• 0:25
  live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
• 0:34
  It is Thursday, May twenty three, twenty twenty four. Hello,
• 0:39
  my name is Elle David Harris. I am your host, and this is
• 0:42
  your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today
• 0:48
  is no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series, the Great
• 0:53
  Controversy. Our caption for today is Jesus our Advocate in judgment. Please us
• 1:00
  our advocate in judgment. We'll get into that in just a minute. You'll
• 1:06
  see I'm looking around. I'm making sure that all of my systems are what
• 1:10
  I expect. But before we do, I'd like to say welcome to you
• 1:14
  and ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please pick
• 1:17
  up the Your Daily Portion book, let us know where you are in the
• 1:19
  world, join our online community, and if you choose, you can also
• 1:25
  join the coaching program at your Daily Portion dot com. This is a way
• 1:30
  that we continue to build faith and fellowship. I'm locked in now, let's
• 1:34
  go. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us the opportunity to open
• 1:38
  up your word again. Please give us your Holy Spirit, teach us how
• 1:42
  to live as people who are in judgment and be connected to you. And
• 1:49
  I pray that you will give us the fullness of your Holy Spirit. In
• 1:53
  Jesus name, I pray Amen and Amen again. Okay, Jesus our advocate
• 1:59
  in judge. And as I said to you the other day, what we're
• 2:02
  doing is focusing in a way that is a key, like a key point
• 2:10
  in the beginning, so we don't miss anything. And the key for today
• 2:15
  is Jesus advocates what looks like him. Can I say that again, Jesus
• 2:22
  advocates what looks like him. Remember we're talking about judgment, and so the
• 2:29
  only way that we can come through judgment is if we're holy, if we're
• 2:34
  righteous right, if we are fully connected to God. And so the answer,
• 2:38
  the question is like, well, how do I get like that?
• 2:40
  Well, by surrendering your will to God. When we surrender our will to
• 2:46
  God, we receive the righteousness of Christ. It's like Jesus puts on us
• 2:53
  a garment, a garment of holiness, a garment of looking like him spiritually
• 3:01
  speaking, Do you hear where I'm going with this? And so when we
• 3:06
  appear in judgment, God, our father sees the record books right everything that
• 3:13
  has to do with determining the eternal experience of people, whether we're going to
• 3:21
  live with God eternally or we're going to die and be dead eternally. And
• 3:25
  I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So how do we
• 3:28
  get out of that death experience by surrendering our will to God. We said
• 3:31
  the other day that we can't lose because Jesus is our judge, Jesus is
• 3:36
  our advocate, he is the substitute. He's the good and faithful witness or
• 3:40
  the true and faithful witness, and so on. And so we're going to
• 3:44
  focus on the advocacy part right now. Jesus advocates what looks like him,
• 3:50
  that is, people who are covered in His righteousness. So We're going to
• 3:53
  begin now with the Book of Hebrews, the Book of Hebrews, chapter ten,
• 3:59
  and I I will read beginning at verse nine. That's the Book of
• 4:01
  Hebrews, chapter ten, and I will read beginning at verse nine. And
• 4:08
  the Bible reads. Then he said, lo, I come to do thy
• 4:12
  will, Oh my God, who's speaking here? Let me read it in
• 4:15
  another version. By his will, we have excuse me verse nine. Then
• 4:21
  he says, here I am, I have come to do your will.
• 4:28
  He does away with the first to establish the second. Now I'm going back
• 4:33
  to verse ten. By the witch will, we are sanctified, that is,
• 4:41
  we are set apart for a holy use. We are seen in God's
• 4:44
  sight as if we have never sinned, through the offering of the body of
• 4:47
  Jesus Christ once for all. So now we know who is coming to do
• 4:53
  God's will, Jesus Christ. What is part of the will that Jesus was
• 4:58
  doing in the presence of God his father, saving you, brothers and sisters,
• 5:01
  saving me. So when Jesus is doing God's will, his will is
• 5:08
  to do all that is necessary in order to save me, to save you
• 5:13
  from your sins. Okay, So, Adam and Eve, they messed up
• 5:15
  royally. They messed up royally. These individuals were created perfectly. They had
• 5:20
  nothing to separate them, nothing to weaken them, nothing to make anything expect,
• 5:28
  make you expect at any point that they could sin, because they were
• 5:31
  perfect. But they chose to sin, both of them. They both chose
• 5:35
  to sin. Eve was deceived and Adam jumped into sin. Both of them
• 5:41
  chose to sin. And so well, the question is, well, how
• 5:44
  do they get out of that state? Because they covered themselves with goats that
• 5:48
  looked like or aprons that look like fig leaves like that left things uncovered spiritually
• 5:55
  speaking and physically, by the way. And so Jesus he comes, he
• 5:59
  strips off though fictitious spiritual coverings, He strips off those inadequate spiritual coverings.
• 6:08
  Are you seeing where we're going with this? And then he puts on them
• 6:11
  the coats of skins. He puts on them what is necessary and more than
• 6:15
  adequate in order to save them from their sins, to cover them in the
• 6:21
  righteousness of Christ. And so now we know that when Jesus gave his life
• 6:29
  for us and then was victorious even through the grave, when he rose and
• 6:33
  took up his life again, on that Sunday morning. He had power in
• 6:38
  his hands. He had the keys of hell, death, and the grave
• 6:42
  in his hands. And now he can give you, brothers and sisters,
• 6:46
  the victory that he had when he lived on planet Earth. He's just giving
• 6:51
  it to us as a gift if we will surrender our will to him.
• 6:55
  And so now we know that he gave himself once for all, not like
• 7:00
  the Old Testament sacrifices that had to be made over and over and over again.
• 7:04
  No, and so the Bible continues verse eleven, and every priest standeth
• 7:10
  daily ministering and offering, oftentimes the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.
• 7:15
  And so the Kindercartan view and the Old Testament, when God was using
• 7:21
  the sanctuary of the Old Testament to teach us how we are being saved,
• 7:26
  to take us through a journey of relationship with him, he is telling us
• 7:30
  here in the New Testament that those sacrifices were not really what was taking away
• 7:34
  our sins. It was pointing forward. It was a foreshadowing, a prefiguring
• 7:40
  of what Jesus was going to do, which was really wash away our sins.
• 7:45
  So now I can hear the songwriter. What can wash away my sins?
• 7:49
  Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again?
• 7:53
  Nothing but the blood of Jesus. And I'm so thankful that he has given
• 7:58
  us this message and verse twelve. But this man, after he had offered
• 8:03
  one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.
• 8:09
  And so now we have the one, the sin bearer, Jesus Christ,
• 8:13
  who was our substitute in this case and also our advocate. He now is
• 8:18
  sitting down at the right hand of God. How can we lose Verse thirteen
• 8:24
  from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool Verse fourteen and final for
• 8:30
  by one offering? How many offerings did Jesus have to make? How many
• 8:35
  times did Jesus have to die on the cross to save us from our sins?
• 8:39
  For one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. See God
• 8:48
  is showing us that the ministry of Jesus Christ in the most holy place in
• 8:54
  twenty twenty four, in the presence of God our Father, is effective.
• 9:00
  And I think, you know, using that word may be too little effective.
• 9:03
  I'm saying that because of what Jesus is doing in the most holy placed
• 9:07
  ministry today. I don't have to say bad words. I don't have to
• 9:11
  have a marriage that is not blissful. I don't have to have a mixed
• 9:16
  up money situation. I don't have to be in a situation where I can't
• 9:20
  be in control of rage or anger. I don't have to be in a
• 9:24
  situation that I lose hope if my children go astray. I don't have to
• 9:28
  be in a situation where I'm confused, like is God listening to me?
• 9:33
  Why not? Because Jesus is my advocate and judgment and most of all,
• 9:37
  I can be assured. You can be assured, brothers and sisters, that
• 9:41
  you will be saved if you are one of His children. Peace. Thanks
• 9:45
  for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone,
• 9:50
  but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This has
• 9:52
  been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
