Sackcloth & Ashes pt. 4 – Mediator Wanted

Passage: Job 9:1-35; Job 16:1-22These two passages show the need for a mediator between humanity and God. In many ways they point to Jesus. But this role can be held by loving mature believers who help remind us of who God is, and who we are called to be in the midst of the storm.Key Takeaways:We can't let our despair determine our view of God's character.This type of fair-weather faith leads not only to sin but to the collapse of our Christian worldview. It's vital that we give Satan his due.We all need someone on God's level who can speak on our behalf. A friend to plead our case. Such a friend we have in Jesus.No one can condemn us because of the work of Christ.Only He can save us.While we should cease to sin, when we undoubtedly fail, He stands as our righteousness.Our faith in Christ is our only hope, as He experienced all temptation without sinning.
