Job 9 – Longing for a Mediator Before a Holy God

from Reading the Bible Daily · host Dave Jenkins

In Job 9, Job responds to Bildad's accusations by turning his eyes upward to the holiness, power, and sovereignty of God. He knows God is righteous and just, yet he wrestles with a painful reality: How can a sinful man stand righteous before a holy God? In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we explore: • The majesty and holiness of God. • The limits and hopelessness of human righteousness. • The mystery of God's sovereign ways. • Job's cry for a mediator between God and man. Job's longing exposes the great divide between divine holiness and human frailty, and points us forward to the gospel. What Job could only yearn for is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the one true Mediator who reconciles sinners to God through His righteousness and atoning sacrifice.
