“The Daysman Between God And Job”
Reference: Job Chapter 9
God stands in complete Holiness. Man stands in complete sinfulness. The two can only come together through a mediator.
Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and man.
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
Job calls the Mediator a Daysman.
Let’s read:
Job 9:1-2 “Then Job answered and said, [2] I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?”
Not possible for man born in original sin to be justified by God. The only way for man to be justified by God is to be born of God. Man has to be born again in Christ the Mediator, to be justified by God, to become one with God.
We continue our reading:
Job 9:3-11 “If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. [4] He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? [5] Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. [6] Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. [7] Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. [8] Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. [9] Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. [10] Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. [11] Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.”
Job knows what God has done and what He can do. Job also knows God is in a dimension he cannot perceive with his five physical senses.
Let me add here that the only way to perceive God is not through our five physical senses but through our spiritual sense of faith.
Without faith it’s impossible (not improbable but impossible) to perceive, please, know, or come to God.
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
We continue our reading:
Job 9:12-20 “Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? [13] If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. [14] How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him? [15] Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. [16] If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. [17] For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. [18] He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. [19] If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? [20] If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.”
Man has no way of coming to God, but God has come to the level of man to redeem man. Jesus Christ is God the man.
We continue our reading:
Job 9:21-33 “Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. [22] This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. [23] If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. [24] The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he? [25] Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. [26] They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. [27] If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself: [28] I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. [29] If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? [30] If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; [31] Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. [32] For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. [33] Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.”
There is a Daysman between God and man. His name is Jesus Christ.
Some call Him Daysman, I call Him Savior.
Some call Him Lord, I call Him God.
Some call Him healer, I call Him creator.
Some call Him Son, I call Him Father.
Some call Him Messiah, I call Him Christ.
Some call Him Alpha, I call Him Omega.
Some call Him almighty, I call Him omniscient.
Some call Him the Light, I call Him the Sun.
Some call Him the Burning Bush, I call Him the Pillar of Fire.
Some call Him Counselor, I call Him Doctor.
Some call Him Anchor, I call Him Ark.
Some call Him justice, I call Him Mercy.
Some call Him Hope, I call Him Faith.
Some call Him Joy, I call Him Peace.
Some call Him Grace, I call Him Love.
Some call Him LawGiver, I call Him the Logos.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, is the Christ of all.
We conclude our reading:
Job 9:34-35 “Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: [35] Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.”
Some call Him Resurrection, I call HimLife.
Let Him come between you and God today. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Some call Him the Forgiver of sins, I call Him the slain Lamb, in Christ!
