I’ve been reading Job these last couple of days and when I came across this section of Scripture in my devotional time, I was blown away by what I read.
I hope you’ve already read the passage, but if you haven’t (and even if you have), let’s look at these verses right now.
Job starts out by saying, “God is not a mortal like me, so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial.”
But then he adds a statement that makes me think of Jesus.
Job says, “If only there were a mediator between us, someone who could bring us together.”
It’s almost like Job is making a prediction.
It’s almost like Job is letting us know that one day, a mediator would bring God and man together.
And of course, that’s exactly what happened.
I don’t think Job had any idea that God would send His own Son to be a “mediator between God and men”, but that’s exactly what happened (1 Timothy 2:5)
And I, for one, am extremely thankful!
