• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
• 0:05
  food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
• 0:10
  some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
• 0:19
  all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
• 0:25
  to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, good
• 0:34
  morning. It is Sunday, August. It's two thousand, not August Epri
• 0:39
  twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris. I am
• 0:42
  your host, and this is your Daily Portion where we give you God's word
• 0:46
  every single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing in our
• 0:50
  Lesson Studies series the Great Controversy, and our caption for today is a broken
• 0:57
  hearted Savior. A broken hearted Savior. We'll get into that in just a
• 1:02
  moment, but first I'd like to say welcome to you and ask you too,
• 1:04
  please go over to your Daily Portion dot com, please join our online
• 1:08
  community, pick up your Daily Portion book, and let us know also where
• 1:14
  you are in the world at your daily portion dot com. This is a
• 1:18
  way that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray,
• 1:23
  and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for
• 1:26
  giving us this new day and for the privilege we have this Sunday morning to
• 1:30
  open up your word again and to begin a new work week. I pray
• 1:33
  God that you will give us your understanding, teach us how to love you,
• 1:37
  and to make your heart glad. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen
• 1:42
  and Amen again a brokenhearted savior. Now I know there is something very interesting
• 1:49
  that happened when Jesus was baptized on planet Earth. Can I just talk about
• 1:53
  this for a moment. When Jesus was he was in his thirties, right
• 2:00
  in his thirties. He's he's coming into his thirties. Now he is about
• 2:04
  to be baptized. And of course he goes into this Jordan river. John
• 2:09
  the Baptist is going to baptize him. And then we hear a voice from
• 2:15
  heaven saying, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.
• 2:20
  That is the voice of the Father, Us God, the Father. And
• 2:23
  then we see that there is there is an image. There is something in
• 2:30
  bodily form as a dove that is coming to light on him. And that
• 2:36
  is the Holy Spirit now coming into his life in a special way at the
• 2:40
  beginning of his public ministry. Okay. And so now the Father is in
• 2:46
  heaven. The Holy Ghost, God, the Holy Ghost is is now descending
• 2:51
  upon Jesus and filling his life in a new and special way. And Jesus,
• 2:55
  God the Son and the Son of God, who I wish I had
• 3:00
  the time, he is now in the Jordan River, and he is being
• 3:05
  baptized, as the Bible says, Jesus said, to fulfill all righteousness.
• 3:09
  Okay. And so now we see that God, our Father is pleased.
• 3:20
  What pleases God the Father in this scenario, Bible says, my beloved son,
• 3:28
  in whom I am well pleased. And so we see the pleasure,
• 3:31
  absolute pleasure of God in Jesus. Because Jesus is he comes from God the
• 3:38
  Father. Right in this context, he is holy. He is yielding his
• 3:45
  will so that the will of the Father is revealed on planet Earth. He
• 3:50
  is a representative, the representative of the character of God, you understand.
• 3:57
  And so we see that he is satisfied. Now, let me ask you
• 4:00
  a question, because remember the caption for today is a broken hearted savior.
• 4:05
  Now let's go to Jesus Christ, who is one with the Father. He
• 4:09
  has already accomplished all that he was supposed to in his earthly ministry. And
• 4:14
  now, of course he's back in heaven, that is his throne. As
• 4:18
  the Bible teaches us, what satisfies the heart of Jesus Christ? What satisfies
• 4:28
  the heart of Jesus Christ. Okay, the satisfaction of Jesus Christ is when
• 4:33
  people live like Jesus lived. When we surrender our will, just in the
• 4:38
  same way that Jesus surrendered his will to the Father, we surrender our will
• 4:43
  to God. This pleases Jesus. And by the way, in the Book
• 4:46
  of Isaiah, chapter fifty three, it says, at a certain point in
• 4:50
  time, the Savior, the Messiah, will see what the Bible calls travail
• 4:57
  of his soul, and he will be satis. He will see all of
• 5:00
  the trials that he went through, the tribulations, the pain of coming into
• 5:05
  human flesh through Mary, yes, and living, having to eat, having
• 5:11
  to sleep like other human beings, right, having to rest, having to
• 5:16
  battle with his mind? Where is he going to be discouraged? Is he
• 5:21
  going to be sad? What happens when things happen to him that are in
• 5:27
  justice? What will he do? So he has to go through all of
• 5:30
  those things, and he did so, Thank God, he did so successfully.
• 5:35
  Yes, he won in that battle and the war over temptation to sin,
• 5:42
  he won, so that you can win. Yes, okay. So
• 5:46
  when he sees that he did all of that, and human beings surrender our
• 5:51
  will to him and ultimately are saved, that is satisfying to him. When
• 5:59
  we yield our will to him, and he sees that what he did for
• 6:02
  us was not in vain, that satisfies the heart of God. And so
• 6:09
  I have to ask the question, now, well, what breaks the heart
• 6:13
  of God? I think you already know where I'm going. So whatever is
• 6:17
  breaking the whatever breaks the heart of God, whatever breaks Ah the Savior's heart
• 6:23
  is what we're looking at today. And we want to upside write this.
• 6:26
  We want to about turn about face this situation in our lives when we are
• 6:30
  dissatisfying God because of our our disdain sometimes for His blessings in our lives,
• 6:38
  Ah, our disrespect for all that he did for us so that he could
• 6:43
  save us. It breaks his heart. And so now we have an opportunity,
• 6:47
  all of us, especially the people of God, the people of God
• 6:49
  who are supposed to know better. This is our context today, the people
• 6:54
  of God who are supposed to know better. Sometimes we break his heart.
• 7:00
  And as the lesson writer now speaks, as Jesus sat on the mount of
• 7:03
  Olives overlooking the city of Jerusalem, his heart is broken. John his Gospel
• 7:10
  says he came to his own and his own didn't even receive him. The
• 7:15
  people who were supposed to embrace him and become his voice in the earth,
• 7:19
  so few of them actually received him. Jesus did everything, according to the
• 7:26
  Lesson Writer, he could to save his people from the coming destruction of their
• 7:32
  beloved city. Jesus's love for his people flowed from a heart of infinite love.
• 7:38
  He repeatedly appealed to them in love to repent and accept his gracious invitation
• 7:45
  of mercy. And so in the same way that Lucifer who became the devil,
• 7:49
  and all of those angels, those that one third of the angels of
• 7:54
  heaven, who also went his way on that evil political bus, that wicked
• 8:01
  bus that Satan was driving toward destruction in the same way that those who should
• 8:07
  have known, who did know better, who dwelt in the presence of God,
• 8:11
  the people of God, some of the people of God in air quotes,
• 8:16
  who lived on planet Earth when Jesus came, rejected Jesus in the same
• 8:20
  way that the devil rejected him. They rejected Jesus in the same way that
• 8:26
  the Devil's evil angels rejected Jesus. And so now Jesus is weeping. And
• 8:30
  according to the Book of Luke, chapter nineteen, beginning at verse forty one,
• 8:37
  the Bible reads, and when he was come near, he beheld the
• 8:39
  city, and he wept over it, saying, if thou had known,
• 8:43
  even thou, at least in this day, the things which belong unto thy
• 8:50
  peace, But now they are hid from thine eyes. I had so much
• 8:54
  for you, Jesus is saying, so much love in my heart. Yes,
• 8:58
  so many plans for you to be one with me, and to change
• 9:01
  the world and ultimately usher in the kingdom of glory. Yes, verse forty
• 9:05
  three, for the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemy shall cast
• 9:11
  a trench about thee and come past the round, and keep THEE on every
• 9:15
  side, and shall lay THEE even to the ground, and thy children within
• 9:20
  THEE, and they shall not leave in the one stone upon another, because
• 9:26
  thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. And so really and truly I
• 9:31
  don't want only to lament what happened there, but to correct. Like for
• 9:37
  us, we don't have to cause God to weep, just surrender our will
• 9:41
  to him and please the heart of God. Thanks for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Friends, Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word
• 9:50
  that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with
• 9:54
  el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
