  Speaker 2: will get underway. Father in Heaven, thank you for giving
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: us this Sabbath day, for your love toward us. Thank
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you for loving us beyond our capacity to understand. Thank
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you for giving us the principles of scripture and the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: stories of people who have lived before us, and all
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of the things that they did, the mistakes they made,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: in the ways that they triumphed because they surrendered to you.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Help us to skip to the end and just triumph
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: because we trust in You. In Jesus' name, I pray,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again, tried and crucified. Now Jesus, Jesus
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: is right on the very edge where he is about
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: to go through with what the prophets said he would do.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: In Daniel chapter nine, the Bible says that Jesus would
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: come up, he would appear, doesn't call him Jesus, but
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the anointed One would come the fulfillment of that Messianic
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: prophecy that the Messiah would come up at a certain time,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and that is at that in the seventy weeks prophecy
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and then the Bible says that that at in the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: midst of the week, he would be cut off, he
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: would be crucified, he would be cut off. Who the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: anointed one, the Messiah, who appeared three and a half
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: years prior, like as the Us, as the Messiah when
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he was when he was anointed by the Holy ghost,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: as he was being baptized by John and the Jordan River.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And so now three and a half years later the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Bible told us these these, the these inspired men of God,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: spoke as they were moved by the holy ghosts. They
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: told us that Jesus was about to give his life,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: not for himself, but for the people. He would not
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: be guilty of the charges that they would throw and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: hurl toward him, But we are guilty. And Jesus decided
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to take the guilt upon his shoulders. He was a volunteer,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the Holy volunteer, who would save his people from our sins.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And so he gets through that dark trial. In Gethsemane.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: He allows himself to be betrayed into the hands of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the people who hated him, who were supposed to be
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: priests and followers of God, but they were really of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: their father. The devil. And so now Jesus is on
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the cross like he's giving his life. Literally, he's about
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to breathe his last breath. We'll track back a little later,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: not today, but in the coming days. But Jesus is
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: about to give his life. And according to Mark, chapter
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: fifteen and verse thirty four, the Bible reads and at
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Eli Eli lama sabaktanai, which is being in translation, My God,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: My God, why have you forsaken me? It's incredulous. Why
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: would you forsake me? The one who was one with you,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: who is one with you, the one whose hands you
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: cooperated with as I created the heavens and the earth
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and these people, the one who is now here to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: do your will. Oh, my God, on whose law I
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: do meditate, How could you be forsaking me? He's on
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the cross and he feels forsaken by God. Have you
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: ever felt forsaken by God? Have you ever felt that
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: God left you in your pain and trial when God forbid?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: You are abused in that relationship with that spouse who
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: did not respect God. Even though that spouse would go
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: through this cycle of sometimes acting as if they loved
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you by giving you great surprises and cool gifts and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: giving you all kinds of praise and accolades and social media,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and standing up sometimes even in church, before the people
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of God and saying that this one is the best spouse,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the best husband, the best wife that I ever had.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But behind closed doors, he or she is abusing you.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Oh God Lord, have mercy on us. Have you ever
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: felt forsaken by God? Where it felt dark when you
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: were looking at your spouse and his or her last
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: moments of life ebbing from their bodies, and you wonder,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: has God forsaken me? You still feel guilty for things
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that you've already confessed to God, but it's not God's fault.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It's because you don't trust him enough to believe that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: no matter what the sin is, if you confess your sins,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: he's faithful and just to forgive you of your sins
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and cleanse you from all unrighteousness, and not bring up
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: old stuff before you, because now there's no record that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he's going to hold against you. He said, blessed is
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the person to whom God does not impute iniquity. So
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: God has forgiven you and He's going to cleanse your
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: sin record at the appropriate time. But you feel forsaken.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Jesus's feeling forsaken by God our Father, and he's there.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And some lessons now we need to learn is that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: God understands your suffering. He understands your suffering because Jesus
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: suffered on the cross feeling even though it wasn't true,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: he was feeling separated from his father. God, our Father
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: was there with him, even though the sun would not
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: shine in that moment. God our Father was with him.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: He understands your suffering. And so we are to yield
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: ourselves to God and say, God, but Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: suffered while he was down here. Can you give me
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that triumph that he experienced as he went through his
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: suffering and came out as the savior of the world.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: And then, of course God is present in our loneliness.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: We see recorded in Psalm chapter twenty one, Our twenty two,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Chapter twenty two and verse one. My God, my God,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: from helping me? And from the words of my roaring,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: even in the moments of profound loneliness, or feelings of abandonment.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: God is present. The Psalmist. He cried, he cried, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: he cried out, and it was really just a manifestation
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: of what Jesus would ultimately go through. And this teaches
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: us that expressing our deepest fears and feelings of abandonment
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: can lead to a greater awareness of God's presence if
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: we just continue to trust him. Because really, the night
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: did not continue, that feeling of darkness did not continue.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Jesus knew at the right time that his father was
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: in fact with him. And then in Isaiah chapter fifty five,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: verses eight and nine, we read, for my thoughts are
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: thoughts than your thoughts. So God's plans they transcend our understanding.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus had to go through that suffering, He had to
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: go through that moment of trial. He had to feel
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to his core exactly what he felt and experienced. He
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: had to carry all of our sins to the cross.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: He had to do it in order to save us
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and to be a manifestation of the love that our
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: father has toward us. Oh, I'll get into that another
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: day of the Lord Spear's life. God's plans transcend our understanding.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But you know what. Ultimately, God provides sacrifice. He's the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: one who provided the ultimate sacrifice. He provided the sacrifice
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: so you brother, you sister, that we can be saved. Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Jesus was tried, he was crucified. He succeeded because he
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: did God's will. Will you succeed by doing God's will too?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, listening to friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
