“For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him,that we can take each other to court. There is no one to judge between us, to lay his hand on both of us. Let Him take His rod away from me so His terror will no longer frighten me. Then I would speak and not fear Him. But that is not the case; I am on my own.”
- Job 9:32-35
Ever had a bad day, a bad season, a bad life? Job got that. And he agonized for an arbitrator, a go-between, someone who could interface on his behalf with God. Such a person would have to understand both God and himself on an absolute level of intimacy. Little did he know, but this was already on the heart and in the plans of God.
And it wasn’t just something that would’ve merely been nice to have. It is completely necessary – for Job, and for each of us! We NEED a mediator – Someone Who understands. And God provided.
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and man, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself—a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time.”
- 1 Tim 2:5-6
