00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:02.080 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.780 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:07.080 on raising young children
00:00:08.680 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.720 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.840 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.360 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18.580 And one major way that you can help to expand
00:00:21.760 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25.880 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.220 leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share
00:00:34.780 our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.320 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:47.040 mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52.260 It appears that at least some of the Corinthians were like many people today,
00:00:57.240 who merely believed that Jesus was a great teacher and a worthy example of the way of love.
00:01:04.200 They believed that the stories of Jesus' resurrection were merely symbols pointing to the triumph of the human spirit
00:01:11.960 and that Jesus' influence is what was resurrected and would live on after his death.
00:01:19.800 They did not say, in other words, they did not say,
00:01:23.880 the resurrection is all a myth. Therefore, we must reject it. Rather, like many professing
00:01:31.320 Christians today, they said the resurrection is a myth. Therefore, we must reinterpret it.
00:01:39.520 That is where we find ourselves today with many professing Christians. They simply attempt to 0.97
00:01:48.360 reinterpret the resurrection of Jesus. Rather than saying the resurrection of Jesus is not
00:01:55.660 literal, it is not physical, it did not actually happen within human history, therefore it is of
00:02:03.640 no value. They simply attempt to reinterpret the resurrection to say it doesn't have to be
00:02:10.000 literal, it doesn't have to be actual, historical, physical in order to have value. The value is
00:02:18.220 simply the symbol, the metaphor. The value is what we make of it. But brothers and sisters,
00:02:26.120 if this is the case, we do not need Christ. We have William Wallace for that. We have Joan of
00:02:34.640 Arc for that. We have Polycarp. We have William Tyndale. History is rife with examples of men
00:02:46.280 and women predominantly men who died a martyr's death a loving sacrificial death on behalf of
00:02:55.980 their fellow man people who paid the ultimate price we have well we have all sorts of individuals
00:03:04.820 just within american history people who die that's what memorial day is all about someone
00:03:12.520 laying down their life in the pursuit of duty and freedom and prosperity so that others might live.
00:03:22.300 But what the Apostle Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 15 verses 12 through 19 is that
00:03:28.300 Christ's resurrection is much more than merely an example of sacrificial love. Jesus himself says,
00:03:36.920 a man has no greater love than this that a man would lay down his life for his friends
00:03:44.220 it is true scripturally that the cross the crucifixion of Jesus is a moral example
00:03:52.940 of sacrificial love but that is not all that the crucifixion is if that is all that the
00:04:01.940 crucifixion is, then there is no gospel and there is no salvation. And you and I are still dead in
00:04:10.480 our sins underneath the white hot wrath of God. Christus victor is an appropriate view of the
00:04:19.720 crucifixion. The moral example is an appropriate view of the crucifixion. The ransom atonement
00:04:27.960 is not an appropriate view of the crucifixion because it raises Satan to a pedestal in height
00:04:37.420 that he does not deserve, nor does he in actuality achieve. The idea that God would have to pay a
00:04:44.940 ransom to his enemy in order to take us back. God doesn't have to pay a ransom to Satan in order to
00:04:53.240 redeem us. God can just crush Satan. You only pay a ransom when you're not able to overcome
00:05:00.400 your threat. But that is not the case. Jesus is put forward as a ransom of sorts.
00:05:08.580 The better word would be propitiation, but not to pay Satan, but to pay God.
00:05:15.520 God the Father puts forward God the Son as payment to God the Father for the atonement of our sin.
00:05:27.800 It is God who needed to be satisfied, not the devil.
00:05:33.620 It is God's justice that demanded recompense.
00:05:39.800 There is no forgiveness of sin apart from blood.
00:05:43.640 the book of hebrews teaches that the book of hebrews also teaches us that the blood of bulls
00:05:51.360 and goats will never take away sin so it must be blood but it cannot be merely the blood of animals
00:05:59.740 it is the blood of christ it is his atonement his propitiation satiating sacrifice his death
00:06:11.160 his payment that satisfies not Satan's wickedness but rather God's justice so that God who is thrice
00:06:21.720 holy can pardon sinners without compromising his righteousness the cross at Calvary in the death
00:06:31.360 of Jesus is where both the perfect righteousness and justice as well as mercy and grace of God
00:06:39.980 kiss, as it were, neither compromising the other. This is the view of penal substitutionary
00:06:49.260 atonement. The death of Jesus is an example, a moral example, which we as his disciples
00:06:57.760 should seek to follow, that we should be willing to sacrifice our very lives for others.
00:07:05.640 sacrificial love the moral example
00:07:09.560 christus victor that christ is raised and ruling and conquering
00:07:16.800 this is also true and biblical but apart from penal substitutionary atonement we lose the
00:07:25.860 entirety of the christian faith it is the heart of the gospel that christ is our substitute he did
00:07:34.040 not merely die as example. He died in our place. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins
00:07:43.440 of the world. He died as a substitute in your place for your sin. His death should have been
00:07:52.820 your death. And his life is not a life that you and I deserve. But rather, because of God's mercy
00:08:02.940 and grace, we have been granted eternal life, and He paid the penalty, the wages of our
00:08:11.040 sin, which is death, so that we might live forevermore with Him.
00:08:17.100 Can I be frank with you for just a second, right here at the end?
00:08:20.440 Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry, and from the bottom
00:08:24.640 of my heart, I say thank you.
00:08:26.860 I cannot thank you enough.
00:08:29.480 However, some of you, you just, you can't afford it.
00:08:32.940 In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:08:36.300 Let's be honest. 0.91
00:08:37.560 I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. 0.96
00:08:41.100 Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three 0.91
00:08:48.760 years due to COVID.
00:08:50.840 We have written checks that we simply cannot cash.
00:08:54.820 It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession.
00:08:58.760 We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
00:09:02.940 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:09:07.620 You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could
00:09:14.400 still help us tremendously.
00:09:16.700 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.

00:09:28.760 that might be.
00:09:30.000 This is the way the system works.
00:09:31.740 We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
00:09:36.300 We need to be strategic.
00:09:38.160 You leave us a five-star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
