00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:06 on raising young children
00:00:08 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18 And one major way that you can help to expand
00:00:21 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52 One of the wonderful things about the Christian faith
00:00:55 is that it is a historical faith.
00:01:00 Actual, real events that took place in human history.
00:01:07 It's a proclamation of good news.
00:01:11 The good news of something that God actually did.
00:01:16 That God actually performed.
00:01:18 Real events.
00:01:21 The Christian faith is a life, yes.
00:01:23 but it is also before it is alive how we must live it is doctrine what we must believe and before it
00:01:32 is even doctrine it is history the christian faith begins with history it begins with an event it
00:01:40 begins with something that god actually did and what we believe about this event what god did is
00:01:48 doctrine and how we live in light of what we believe about this event is character and godliness
00:01:56 our life but it all begins with history it all begins with god doing something
00:02:05 in his imminence in real time in real human history on this planet something was manifest
00:02:16 seen in the flesh
00:02:19 some one name was manifest
00:02:23 his name is Jesus
00:02:26 Jesus Christ is God revealed in the flesh
00:02:30 and in John the gospel of John
00:02:33 chapter 1 verses 1 through 2
00:02:35 we find these words
00:02:37 in the beginning was the word
00:02:39 that is the living word
00:02:41 Jesus
00:02:42 and the word was with God
00:02:45 and the word was God.
00:02:48 But then just a little later in verse 14,
00:02:51 John writes this,
00:02:52 and the word became flesh and tabernacled,
00:02:56 dwelt among us.
00:02:59 See, there are many religions
00:03:00 which speak of appearances of gods,
00:03:05 lowercase g, false gods.
00:03:08 However, only Christianity takes the position
00:03:11 that the God who existed from all eternity
00:03:14 and through whom all things were created actually became a human being.
00:03:21 As St. Augustine said, he is divinity wrapped in flesh.
00:03:29 Jesus emptied himself, as it were, Philippians chapter 2,
00:03:33 but he emptied himself not by subtraction, but rather by addition.
00:03:39 He did not empty himself of the divine nature,
00:03:42 but rather he emptied himself by taking upon himself a second nature,
00:03:48 the human nature, the divinity concealed in flesh.
00:03:57 Jesus, the God-man, who in the beginning was with God and was God,
00:04:04 and the word by which all things were created and even now are being held together,
00:04:09 Together, according to Colossians, this Jesus took on flesh, was born in a manger.
00:04:18 This Jesus, as an infant, crying beneath the stars that he both created and was presently sustaining.
00:04:30 this jesus in flesh crying while in his divinity upholding sustaining galaxies
00:04:41 this jesus later hanging bleeding out on a cross that every single molecule and splinter
00:04:52 of this cross is being fastened together by the same jesus who's bleeding out upon it
00:04:59 he was manifested in the flesh.
00:05:06 Hebrews chapter one, verses one through three says,
00:05:09 long ago, at many times and in many ways,
00:05:12 God spoke to our fathers by the prophets.
00:05:15 But in these last days, he has spoken to us by his son,
00:05:19 whom he appointed the heir of all things,
00:05:23 through whom also he created the world.
00:05:27 He, that is Jesus,
00:05:29 is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint, not similar, but the exact imprint of
00:05:40 his nature, God's nature. And he upholds the universe by the word of his power.
00:05:48 Now, Jesus, in his divine nature, is not of a similar substance to the Father, but the same substance.
00:06:01 So that he can say with all confidence and truthfulness, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father.
00:06:10 People must see God.
00:06:12 And if they are to see God, they must see his Son.
00:06:17 For he is the agency by which the father in these last days continues to speak.
00:06:26 In the days of old, God spoke to us at many times and in many ways.
00:06:33 God spoke in his special revelation through dreams, through visions, through impressions.
00:06:42 God spoke in manifestations and theophanies.
00:06:47 God spoke with stars guiding and angels manifesting.
00:06:53 But in these last days, God has spoken to us in his final word, in his final revelation.
00:07:02 It is final because it is perfect.
00:07:06 In these last days, God has spoken to us through his son.
00:07:10 and his son still speaks to us today through the apostolic testimony of Jesus contained in
00:07:19 the scripture and these scriptures are still expounded to us today through the faithful
00:07:25 preaching both in life and in doctrine of the body of Christ that is his church thanks so much
00:07:34 for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a
00:07:40 five-star review if you enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get
00:07:46 this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
