From today’s sermon:

”Then Job answered the Lord and said, “I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. ‘Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.’ I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.” Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.“
‭‭Job‬ ‭42‬:‭1‬-‭6‬, ‭11‬ ‭

In verse 11, it says that the Lord is the one who brought about all of Job’s suffering. In chapter one, the Lord is the one who points out Job to satan, not the other way around. Why? All that Job went through can be wrapped up in verse 6–before, Job worshipped the Lord because he had heard about him (head knowledge), but then he *saw* the Lord (*experiential knowledge*).

He is Risen!!

As wonderful as Christmas is, Resurrection Sunday is truly the most significant day of celebration for the Believer—everyone is born, everyone who has ever lived in the past has died; but only Jesus rose again after being placed in the tomb! We have been reconciled to our Creator because the stain of sin is washed away by the most precious blood of the only Perfect and Acceptable Sacrifice! So rejoice today, and give praise to the Author and Perfected of our faith!
