“Job Experiences The Crush Of The Messiah”
Reference: Job Chapter 17
Psalm 22:1-2 “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? [2] O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.”
Job felt what the Messiah felt.
Let’s read:
Job 17:1-7 “My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. [2] Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? [3] Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me? [4] For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them. [5] He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. [6] He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. [7] Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.”
Like Christ, Job walks through Death Valley, in pain and agony.
The Savior has experienced every pain we will ever experience. He knows exactly what we go through, and He has provided the exact remedy.
The Remedy is the Holy Spirit coming to dwell in us.
We continue our reading:
Job 17:8-14 “Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. [9] The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. [10] But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you. [11] My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. [12] They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. [13] If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. [14] I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.”
The promise from the Father is that He will not let His Holy One see corruption.
Psalm 16:10 “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”
Because Jesus Christ rose in three days and did not see corruption, so shall those in Christ rise incorruptible.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53 “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
It’s the promise to Job and everyone in Christ.
We conclude our reading:
Job 17:15-16 “And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? [16] They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.”
The Messiah bore Job’s infirmities.
Psalm 22:6-11 “But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. [7] All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, [8] He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. [9] But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. [10] I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. [11] Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.”
The Messiah experienced what we may ever experience. So He has made provision for us not to be separated from Him by given us His Holy Spirit.
John 14:19-20 “Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.”
This is our victory over pain, agony, feeling forsaken, and feeling crushed by the torments of life.
God has made the provision. He has provided the Balm . We simply have to receive the Balm of His Holy Spirit.
Let the Word bring you the Balm. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He felt what we feel and even more,in Christ!
