00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.940 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:06.920 on raising young children
00:00:08.540 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.560 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.700 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.220 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18.820 And one major way that you can help to expand
00:00:21.600 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.000 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25.720 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.060 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31.160 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33.980 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.400 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38.300 Thank you so much.
00:00:39.580 God bless.
00:00:41.700 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44.500 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47.520 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52.280 One of the wonderful things about the Christian faith
00:00:55.720 is that it is a historical faith.
00:01:00.820 Actual, real events that took place in human history.
00:01:07.400 It's a proclamation of good news.
00:01:11.860 The good news of something that God actually did.
00:01:16.360 That God actually performed.
00:01:18.840 Real events.
00:01:21.740 The Christian faith is a life, yes.
00:01:23.840 but it is also before it is alive how we must live it is doctrine what we must believe and before it
00:01:32.620 is even doctrine it is history the christian faith begins with history it begins with an event it
00:01:40.300 begins with something that god actually did and what we believe about this event what god did is
00:01:48.380 doctrine and how we live in light of what we believe about this event is character and godliness
00:01:56.920 our life but it all begins with history it all begins with god doing something
00:02:05.340 in his imminence in real time in real human history on this planet something was manifest
00:02:16.260 seen in the flesh
00:02:19.520 some one name was manifest
00:02:23.060 his name is Jesus
00:02:26.300 Jesus Christ is God revealed in the flesh
00:02:30.060 and in John the gospel of John
00:02:33.280 chapter 1 verses 1 through 2
00:02:35.080 we find these words
00:02:37.140 in the beginning was the word
00:02:39.560 that is the living word
00:02:41.280 Jesus
00:02:42.540 and the word was with God
00:02:45.260 and the word was God.
00:02:48.180 But then just a little later in verse 14,
00:02:51.220 John writes this,
00:02:52.660 and the word became flesh and tabernacled,
00:02:56.360 dwelt among us.
00:02:59.340 See, there are many religions
00:03:00.440 which speak of appearances of gods,
00:03:05.440 lowercase g, false gods.
00:03:08.320 However, only Christianity takes the position
00:03:11.580 that the God who existed from all eternity
00:03:14.700 and through whom all things were created actually became a human being.
00:03:21.900 As St. Augustine said, he is divinity wrapped in flesh.
00:03:29.000 Jesus emptied himself, as it were, Philippians chapter 2,
00:03:33.960 but he emptied himself not by subtraction, but rather by addition.
00:03:39.480 He did not empty himself of the divine nature,
00:03:42.380 but rather he emptied himself by taking upon himself a second nature,
00:03:48.180 the human nature, the divinity concealed in flesh.
00:03:57.020 Jesus, the God-man, who in the beginning was with God and was God,
00:04:04.040 and the word by which all things were created and even now are being held together,
00:04:09.380 Together, according to Colossians, this Jesus took on flesh, was born in a manger.
00:04:18.980 This Jesus, as an infant, crying beneath the stars that he both created and was presently sustaining.
00:04:30.760 this jesus in flesh crying while in his divinity upholding sustaining galaxies
00:04:41.120 this jesus later hanging bleeding out on a cross that every single molecule and splinter
00:04:52.980 of this cross is being fastened together by the same jesus who's bleeding out upon it
00:04:59.900 he was manifested in the flesh.
00:05:06.640 Hebrews chapter one, verses one through three says,
00:05:09.500 long ago, at many times and in many ways,
00:05:12.160 God spoke to our fathers by the prophets.
00:05:15.820 But in these last days, he has spoken to us by his son,
00:05:19.780 whom he appointed the heir of all things,
00:05:23.080 through whom also he created the world.
00:05:27.680 He, that is Jesus,
00:05:29.900 is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint, not similar, but the exact imprint of
00:05:40.040 his nature, God's nature. And he upholds the universe by the word of his power.
00:05:48.480 Now, Jesus, in his divine nature, is not of a similar substance to the Father, but the same substance.
00:06:01.840 So that he can say with all confidence and truthfulness, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father.
00:06:10.420 People must see God.
00:06:12.920 And if they are to see God, they must see his Son.
00:06:17.660 For he is the agency by which the father in these last days continues to speak.
00:06:26.320 In the days of old, God spoke to us at many times and in many ways.
00:06:33.940 God spoke in his special revelation through dreams, through visions, through impressions.
00:06:42.680 God spoke in manifestations and theophanies.
00:06:47.660 God spoke with stars guiding and angels manifesting.
00:06:53.100 But in these last days, God has spoken to us in his final word, in his final revelation.
00:07:02.960 It is final because it is perfect.
00:07:06.560 In these last days, God has spoken to us through his son.
00:07:10.380 and his son still speaks to us today through the apostolic testimony of Jesus contained in
00:07:19.360 the scripture and these scriptures are still expounded to us today through the faithful
00:07:25.700 preaching both in life and in doctrine of the body of Christ that is his church thanks so much
00:07:34.820 for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a
00:07:40.340 five-star review if you enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get
00:07:46.300 this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
