Job 6-10

In Job’s misery, he voiced the plea, “If only there was someone” who could be a mediator, someone to remove God’s rod from me. Little did he know at the time that there was Someone Who would be his Redeemer. Actually, the whole book of Job points to Christ and exposes the pain of a life without Him. His comforters didn’t have the answers. In faith he declared “I know that my Redeemer lives.”

In all of life’s challenges God is prescribing an existence that reveals to us our need of a Savior. Every pitfall and pain just points to the relief that can be found in Christ. For one thing, Christ KNOWS how we feel. He was tempted in every point. He experienced every pain, because the Heavenly Father laid upon Him all the sin and affliction of the world. He carried it to Golgotha and let the entire world watch as He suffered for us.

Hallelujah, what a Savior.
