Job
Chp 6
- Vs 8 — Job still wants an end to his pain and suffering. Its hard to live in the moment when bad things happen. You just want an end.
- Job desires death over life and does not understand eternity — chp 7:9-11
- Vs 13 — Job has lost everything and yet his primary concern is success. Why is wealth and status so important?
Chp 7
- The world is a tough place to live. In the Garden with God was paradise. Man's sin changed all of that.
- Vs 17 — talking about God, Job wonders why God would even concern himself with mankind. We are so insignificant as beings in comparison to the universes.
- Vs 21 — there was no forgiveness of sin in the Old Testament that did not require sacrifice. Sin required a penalty. For us Jesus was a sacrifice once for all!
Chp 8
- God does uphold the blameless and protect the righteous!
- Job's position was not that he was absolutely sinless. Job's argument was that he did not do anything that deserved what he was going through.
Chp 9
- Vs 1-3 what is true? God is just! God is fare! How can man plead his case with God. Job wanted a direct relationship and conversation with God!
- Vs 33 Job longed for a mediator. Someone who could stand between him and God. Job knew a mere man could not stand before God alone. He longed for the day that we now are blessed with! Jesus is our mediator! 1 Timothy 2:5
- Only in Christianity do you have God reaching down to man. John 3:16
- Only when you are stripped of everything (share about your own life) and know that you need God do you look for a savior. I cried out to God in desperation!
Chp 10
- Vs 13-16 Is Job in sin by the way he is speaking? He has not cursed God but he is accusing God of many things. What is he accusing God of?
