Job 9 - His Mercy is Great!

If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together, someone to remove God’s rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more." (vs 33, 34)

Thanks be to God, since the time this story of Job was written, God in his mercy, has sent us a mediator, someone to remove God's rod from us. 

Job presents the awesomeness of God.  God is so awesome that Job cannot dare to stand before him and present a defense of his innocence.  All one can do is beg for God's mercy.  All we can do is trust in His mercy.

And, that mercy is seen in the giving of His Son, Jesus the Christ, for the world.       

Thanks be to God, for His mercy is great!

God's Peace - Pr. J
