Day 278 - (Today’s Bible readings: Job 9:1-20; Psalm 94; Luke 9:21-36)
“There is no arbiter between us, who might lay his hand on us both.” (Job 9:33 ESV)
“Job has no hope of fixing the problem with God. God is too powerful and there is no one to mediate between him and God–not even Job’s friends. When we are at our lowest, we might agree with Job that there is no hope. If we focus on our pain or problems and look only to ourselves or others for help, we should not be surprised to find only despair. Without a mediator, we face the full wrath of God... Who can bear the majesty of God without Christ as Mediator.” (The Lutheran Study Bible, CPH 2009, Page 795)
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all.” (1 Timothy 2:5-6 ESV)
Lord Jesus, thank You for being my Mediator with the Father. Thank You for reminding Him that You died for me. Please use me to share You with others who need You to be their Mediator too. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
