Scripture for the day: Job 9:33-35
If only there was a mediator between us,
Someone who could bring us together.The mediator could make God stop beating me,
And I would no longer live in terror of His punishment.Then I could speak to him without fear,
But I cannot do that in my own strength.
Job, even in his suffering, is prophesying the coming of a messiah, the perfect lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world.
He would be the mediator, the one and only mediator between man and God ( 1Timothy 2:5, John 14:6)
He would be stripped, beaten, and flayed for our sins, the one true eternal offering- by whose stripes we are healed! (1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5)
And in his strength and as his righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) we would enter the throne room of grace, with confidence and without fear! (Hebrews 4:16)
That Messiah, Jesus Christ the mediator has come. Hallelujah !!
His finished work at the cross has made us worthy of every blessing on earth and in heaven, now and forevermore. (Philippians 4:19)
In Him, we have life and life more abundantly. (John 10:10)
Thank you, Abba for taking us in. For transferring us from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of Your Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins! ( Colossians 1:13-14)
Worthy is the Lamb of God !!
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen!
