Job 15-19
I know that my Redeemer lives

SEM LEGENDA
4
00:01:02,305 --> 00:01:07,372
My Redeemer lives and that in
the end he was stand upon the
5
00:01:07,397 --> 00:01:10,950
Earth and after my skin has
been destroyed yet in my flesh,
6
00:01:10,975 --> 00:01:15,142
I will see God I myself will
see him with my own eyes. I am
7
00:01:15,167 --> 00:01:19,431
not another how my heart yearns
within me. I know that my
8
00:01:19,456 --> 00:01:23,587
Redeemer lives. That's what
we're taking and let me read
9
00:01:23,612 --> 00:01:29,311
from Chapter 15 words of
elephants terminators, he says
10
00:01:29,336 --> 00:01:34,916
to Job verse seven. Are you the
first man? Born where you
11
00:01:34,941 --> 00:01:38,377
brought forth before the Hills
do you listen in on God's
12
00:01:38,402 --> 00:01:42,585
Council. Do you limit wisdom to
yourself? What do you know that
13
00:01:42,610 --> 00:01:46,650
we do not know what insights do
you have the region do not have
14
00:01:46,675 --> 00:01:52,212
the gray hair and the age are
on our side man even older than
15
00:01:52,237 --> 00:01:55,955
your father. Well, that's quite
a start for us to think about
16
00:01:55,980 --> 00:01:59,361
elephants with his. I'm afraid
of the prosperity gospel once
17
00:01:59,386 --> 00:02:02,587
again, his first 20. Do you
think the heart of his
18
00:02:02,612 --> 00:02:05,387
arguments? What do you think
about that? yeah, I think so
19
00:02:05,412 --> 00:02:10,075
verse 20. His days, the wicked
man suffers torments so if you
20
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:12,994
if you see somebody suffering
torment what must you conclude?
21
00:02:13,019 --> 00:02:16,408
well? absolutely he must be
wicked and that's sort of the
22
00:02:16,433 --> 00:02:20,296
burden of the rest of the
elephant, says that this wicked
23
00:02:20,321 --> 00:02:23,541
people well verse 20 -, four
distress and anguish will fill
24
00:02:23,566 --> 00:02:26,512
him with terror and he
basically says bad things
25
00:02:26,537 --> 00:02:30,095
happen to bad people. What goes
around comes around and and
26
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,379
again you might think well
that's so far from the comfort
27
00:02:33,404 --> 00:02:37,705
that I would give I would be
Reassuring of somebody in
28
00:02:37,730 --> 00:02:41,663
suffering and yet if we start
to think the way that elephants
29
00:02:41,688 --> 00:02:44,127
thinks then I think we will
start to offer the kind of
30
00:02:44,152 --> 00:02:47,666
comfort inverted Commerce that
that elephant's office. I
31
00:02:47,691 --> 00:02:51,892
remember I was in a home Bible
study and we were at a prayer
32
00:02:51,917 --> 00:02:56,202
time sharing points for prayer
and there was a woman in our
33
00:02:56,227 --> 00:03:01,129
midst who have been suffering
with insomnia for for 50 years
34
00:03:01,154 --> 00:03:04,137
but no sooner as she said that
she was suffering insomnia for
35
00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:07,366
50 years. People said Oh, have
you tried a drop of lavender on
36
00:03:07,391 --> 00:03:09,731
the pillow? Oh yeah. Have you
tried going for a walk by the
37
00:03:09,756 --> 00:03:12,356
Sea front before before
bedtime. If you tried Chema
38
00:03:12,381 --> 00:03:14,822
special have you tried the
shipping forecast? Have you
39
00:03:14,847 --> 00:03:17,780
tried this Have you tried for
15 minutes. We were all giving
40
00:03:17,805 --> 00:03:20,822
her advice about how she could
fix herself and she was very
41
00:03:20,847 --> 00:03:23,783
godly. She just sat back and
very patiently and after 15
42
00:03:23,808 --> 00:03:26,752
minutes, she just said. Yeah. I
tried all those things in the
43
00:03:26,777 --> 00:03:30,408
first year. what I really want
you to do is pray that I would
44
00:03:30,433 --> 00:03:33,387
that I would enjoy this and
that I would turn those night
45
00:03:33,412 --> 00:03:36,327
times into prayer times for the
Lord that I can pray my way
46
00:03:36,352 --> 00:03:38,481
through the missionary prayer
diary, and that kind of thing
47
00:03:38,506 --> 00:03:42,356
and her focus was really on
getting. Suffering our focus
48
00:03:42,381 --> 00:03:44,634
was on trying to fix her and
tell her to do something
49
00:03:44,659 --> 00:03:46,866
different and I think that's
kind of the essence of this
50
00:03:46,891 --> 00:03:50,717
miserable comforters. Yes, I
mean, look at Chapter 16 verse
51
00:03:50,742 --> 00:03:56,947
two jere replies. I've had many
things like this Miserables are
52
00:03:56,972 --> 00:04:00,387
you why are Joe's friend such
miserable comforters? Well? I
53
00:04:00,412 --> 00:04:03,627
love that phrase Miserables and
glenny. I know that you love
54
00:04:03,652 --> 00:04:07,075
all these memorable phrases
that are in the Scriptures,
55
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:08,856
particularly whether it's
James's got that one. He's got
56
00:04:08,881 --> 00:04:14,673
skin of teeth and you. This
books' holden's books because
57
00:04:14,698 --> 00:04:18,452
they're all English phrases
that they tossed around today,
58
00:04:18,477 --> 00:04:21,499
but they'll come out of the
back of the Scriptures. So it's
59
00:04:21,524 --> 00:04:24,270
the King's English and it's a
devotional walk through the
60
00:04:24,295 --> 00:04:27,525
Bible using this great phrases
out of the Bible that we use
61
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:31,259
today, but actually anchoring
the scripture. So here they are
62
00:04:31,284 --> 00:04:34,337
three of Dan's books, The
King's English and all you need
63
00:04:34,362 --> 00:04:38,303
to do to find it is your Google

dot Info. Wonderful Glen. show
people can enjoy reading that
65
00:04:42,891 --> 00:04:46,155
aren't they they are the I I've
used them for a whole year.
66
00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:49,299
fabulous They are and so in
this phrase miserable
67
00:04:49,324 --> 00:04:52,895
comforters in Chapter 16 verse
two comes up and that and
68
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,022
everyone knows that phrase and
these comforters are miserable
69
00:04:57,047 --> 00:05:01,267
because as Glenn was saying,
they're always really saying
70
00:05:01,292 --> 00:05:05,489
job you're suffering and it's
your fault and all the time you
71
00:05:05,514 --> 00:05:10,009
think is all for it. We went to
visit a dear Lady in a hospice
72
00:05:10,034 --> 00:05:13,533
and we. Is a member of our
Church fellowship. We have we
73
00:05:13,558 --> 00:05:16,132
actually went and we shared the
truth of Jesus and it was
74
00:05:16,164 --> 00:05:19,627
amazing because she was
experiencing the presence of
75
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:22,225
Jesus And she was filled with
joy and worshiping and things.
76
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:24,739
but imagine if instead of
pointing to Jesus, we got and
77
00:05:24,764 --> 00:05:28,497
said you know you're in this
hospice because you're a sinner
78
00:05:28,522 --> 00:05:32,210
and it's your fault that you'd
be like. Oh my goodness get
79
00:05:32,235 --> 00:05:36,217
out. do not that is not comfort
that is horrible. Well. that's
80
00:05:36,242 --> 00:05:38,348
what these friends do.
Basically, they say to you.
81
00:05:38,373 --> 00:05:42,132
This is all your fault and.
Really, they're saying to him,
82
00:05:42,157 --> 00:05:46,244
we will tell you how to get out
of suffering You. What do you
83
00:05:46,276 --> 00:05:50,416
know that we do not know. Yeah.
What do you know and how to in
84
00:05:50,441 --> 00:05:54,236
instead of thinking about how
to get out of suffering? really
85
00:05:54,261 --> 00:05:59,306
what Joe wants to know is what
to get out of it or you know
86
00:05:59,331 --> 00:06:03,264
not how to get but what is in
this to get in it. You want to
87
00:06:03,289 --> 00:06:06,819
get even in suffering and he's
like I need Jesus and those
88
00:06:06,844 --> 00:06:09,641
things like that that no. it's
all your fault. so the answer
89
00:06:09,666 --> 00:06:14,531
to his suffering guilt
condemnation burden terrible
90
00:06:14,556 --> 00:06:19,942
and Such neat answers, yes, and
they thought it was very neat
91
00:06:19,967 --> 00:06:23,372
answers. This is why again
we're very careful are we not
92
00:06:23,412 --> 00:06:25,354
when there's somebody who is
going through a really rough
93
00:06:25,379 --> 00:06:29,675
time we we can read the books
beforehand about suffering so
94
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:33,236
far, yes or bereavement, but
not directly off because what
95
00:06:33,261 --> 00:06:37,525
they need actually is warmth,
love comfort and the reminders
96
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:42,145
of Jesus and being appointed to
him. Yes, So not need answers
97
00:06:42,170 --> 00:06:46,233
may feel actually that everyone
even God is against him. I mean
98
00:06:46,258 --> 00:06:50,478
in Chapter 16 verse one to 18
look at verse 12. All was well
99
00:06:50,503 --> 00:06:55,775
with me, but he. With me, but
does he still have a friend?
100
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,038
who's not such a miserable?
comforter? Yeah, absolutely.
101
00:06:59,063 --> 00:07:01,777
and you know it's so
unfortunate that he has no
102
00:07:01,809 --> 00:07:05,218
friends to point him to Jesus
and so in the end job just has
103
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:09,171
to point himself to Jesus and
in verses 19 to 21, we have
104
00:07:09,196 --> 00:07:13,374
this wonderful verses. Even now
my witness is in heaven. My
105
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:17,710
advocate is on high. My
intercessor is my friend as my
106
00:07:17,735 --> 00:07:20,939
eyes, pour out tears to God on
behalf of a man he plead with
107
00:07:20,964 --> 00:07:24,410
God as a man pleads for his
friend. This is the friends
108
00:07:24,435 --> 00:07:28,736
that job needs and I love that
there are four names. Gives to
109
00:07:28,761 --> 00:07:34,324
Christ here you know firstly,
he's my witness so often in
110
00:07:34,349 --> 00:07:38,038
suffering we feel like we're
alone. Nobody notices. If
111
00:07:38,063 --> 00:07:41,355
you've been in the hospital for
any length of time, it can feel
112
00:07:41,380 --> 00:07:45,311
very lonely time, But there's
one who sees one who knows and
113
00:07:45,336 --> 00:07:50,369
he's Secondly my advocates one
who sticks up for me. You know
114
00:07:50,394 --> 00:07:52,233
we don't have the strength when
we suffering. We don't have the
115
00:07:52,258 --> 00:07:54,710
strength to stick up for
ourselves in heaven. We don't
116
00:07:54,735 --> 00:07:57,043
have the right to stick up for
ourselves in heaven, but
117
00:07:57,068 --> 00:08:00,093
there's one who is our advocate
who sticks up for us. My
118
00:08:00,118 --> 00:08:03,429
intercessor you know when when
we are suffering. When when
119
00:08:03,454 --> 00:08:08,413
suffering really hits can you
pray, you know, sometimes it's
120
00:08:08,438 --> 00:08:11,470
it's just the Romans eight
thing just groaning just
121
00:08:11,495 --> 00:08:15,627
groaning. and yet there is one
who intercedes for us. He he
122
00:08:15,652 --> 00:08:19,385
pleads with God Verse 21. He's
an intercessor prays for us in
123
00:08:19,410 --> 00:08:23,527
verse 20. He is my friend. my
friend who knows what it is to
124
00:08:23,552 --> 00:08:26,960
go through such worse suffering
the we've ever gone through. he
125
00:08:26,985 --> 00:08:30,603
amplifies he sympathizes. He's
gone through the Valley of the
126
00:08:30,628 --> 00:08:33,556
shadow of death and he
promised. Our friend through
127
00:08:33,581 --> 00:08:36,650
it, that's who we need to know
in our suffering and as we
128
00:08:36,682 --> 00:08:39,968
comfort others, he's the one we
need to point people to oh we
129
00:08:39,993 --> 00:08:43,124
ought to hold on to those names
of the Lord. My witness, my
130
00:08:43,149 --> 00:08:48,702
intercessor, my advocate and my
friend hold onto let's hold on
131
00:08:48,727 --> 00:08:54,733
to that. In the words of Acts
17 verse 15, when job seems to
132
00:08:54,758 --> 00:08:59,304
be well overwhelmed by darkness
and chaos and despair and
133
00:08:59,329 --> 00:09:02,270
falling into death. Actually
the word hope is mentioned.
134
00:09:02,295 --> 00:09:06,554
Yes, how do we understand the
source of such hope? Well,
135
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:09,926
that's the thing cuz he's just
said. Look. these friends is
136
00:09:09,951 --> 00:09:13,449
the no one here who's got any
real wisdom and real hope cuz
137
00:09:13,474 --> 00:09:16,666
in verse 12. It's like you guys
just keep saying it's going to
138
00:09:16,691 --> 00:09:21,030
be all right or you know not to
worry you know and all that
139
00:09:21,055 --> 00:09:24,285
sort of he is not good enough.
I need something more than that
140
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:27,085
and he's like here when he
again we see with job. he'll
141
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:29,936
have a vision of Christ that
just like that, absolutely
142
00:09:29,961 --> 00:09:33,137
fantastic and then he sometimes
looks. Again and look around
143
00:09:33,162 --> 00:09:36,015
his friends and he ends up
getting all down again and now
144
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,804
he's saying the only friend
I've got a corruption in the
145
00:09:38,829 --> 00:09:41,939
worm and the grave and things
and he said, I know hope so
146
00:09:41,964 --> 00:09:48,163
again. it's why when we're in
the the best help we can ever
147
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:52,459
be. if we wanna be useful
comforters, it's not to go job
148
00:09:52,484 --> 00:09:55,127
If we just go. Oh, it's gonna
be alright in the end. He's go
149
00:09:55,152 --> 00:09:58,054
is it and he starts looking
around at himself and he I
150
00:09:58,079 --> 00:10:02,538
can't see it. I can only see
things going down. Verse 11 my
151
00:10:02,563 --> 00:10:06,850
days of my mind, Yes, so the
desires of my heart that's
152
00:10:06,875 --> 00:10:09,311
right and he's now looking at
he's saying, is it really gonna
153
00:10:09,336 --> 00:10:11,968
be? I don't think it is I'm
looking at myself so at this
154
00:10:11,993 --> 00:10:15,390
point when he's doing that
looking at himself for his own
155
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:17,924
resources and his efforts and
his own heart and his own
156
00:10:17,949 --> 00:10:21,640
desires, No and he ends up
getting deeper and deeper into
157
00:10:21,665 --> 00:10:24,546
the darkness of depression. but
when he looks at his friend and
158
00:10:24,571 --> 00:10:29,113
his intercessor and all that
he's like, Ah this hope but
159
00:10:29,138 --> 00:10:32,965
apparently build out the. It's
not really listening Chapter
160
00:10:32,990 --> 00:10:38,405
18. He comes back with his
argument of three. Why are we
161
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:41,179
in regards to this cattle and
considered stupid in your
162
00:10:41,204 --> 00:10:44,041
sights? You would tell yourself
to pieces in your anger.
163
00:10:44,066 --> 00:10:48,947
Etcetera so builder is coming
back that we are not powerless
164
00:10:48,972 --> 00:10:53,283
cattle but responsible agents
who will get what we deserve
165
00:10:53,316 --> 00:10:57,041
from God. It seems like that
It's powerful Ric, of course,
166
00:10:57,066 --> 00:11:00,752
but what's what's all about?
well? verse Five is the heart
167
00:11:00,784 --> 00:11:04,100
of his argument against the
lamp of the wicked is snuffed
168
00:11:04,125 --> 00:11:07,554
out. Okay Joe's snuffed. Guess
what you are, You know you you
169
00:11:07,579 --> 00:11:10,757
must be wicked and it's the
same What goes around comes
170
00:11:10,782 --> 00:11:14,475
around thing and it forces
build that to to think well.
171
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:18,350
The wicked must get there come
up in this life and the
172
00:11:18,375 --> 00:11:22,749
righteous must be blessed in
this life and and this powerful
173
00:11:22,774 --> 00:11:25,921
rhetoric about what what
happens to the wicked verse
174
00:11:25,946 --> 00:11:29,257
eight a trap seasons and by the
Hillel verse 10 news is hidden
175
00:11:29,282 --> 00:11:33,413
on the ground and this is you
know crime doesn't pay you know
176
00:11:33,438 --> 00:11:36,358
and it's only law enforcement
who generally. Doesn't pay
177
00:11:36,383 --> 00:11:39,983
quite invested in crime not
paying of course, will point
178
00:11:40,008 --> 00:11:43,994
out later that the crime very
often does pay and in this life
179
00:11:44,019 --> 00:11:47,252
we don't see that. But what
bill that has he has this, You
180
00:11:47,277 --> 00:11:51,007
know the wicked get they come
up the righteous they they must
181
00:11:51,032 --> 00:11:54,296
be blessed and he's taking his
eyes off the cross because what
182
00:11:54,321 --> 00:11:57,816
what do we see at the cross?
But you know the the greatest
183
00:11:57,841 --> 00:12:03,327
person ever suffers the most.
so that's we the worst kind of
184
00:12:03,352 --> 00:12:06,809
sinners might be blessed the
most but whenever we take our.
185
00:12:06,834 --> 00:12:10,718
Of the cross will fall into
this miserable comfort. That's
186
00:12:10,743 --> 00:12:13,892
one of the great secrets of the
East African revival in which I
187
00:12:13,917 --> 00:12:16,689
was brought up as a child. The
cross was always at the Center
188
00:12:16,714 --> 00:12:19,885
of there will be darkness and
chaos and bereavement and
189
00:12:19,910 --> 00:12:23,874
murder, But the cross was at
the absolute unmistakable
190
00:12:23,899 --> 00:12:26,957
Center of that revival, and it
still is the archbishop of
191
00:12:26,982 --> 00:12:30,806
Kenya Today. The Anglican
archbishop is a revival man. He
192
00:12:30,831 --> 00:12:36,616
keeps pointing to the cross
vico so Chapter 19 now look at
193
00:12:36,641 --> 00:12:41,629
verses one to 22 job. How his
friends make him feel more and
194
00:12:41,654 --> 00:12:45,525
more desperate is the way where
I was a way out of his
195
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:49,577
suffering. If only he had the
right Well, theology or
196
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:54,517
righteousness or attitude or if
they only genuine comfort for
197
00:12:54,542 --> 00:12:57,426
job and all the suffering The
only genuine comfort cuz when
198
00:12:57,458 --> 00:13:00,319
he when they say they look at
yourself in your own resources
199
00:13:00,344 --> 00:13:03,371
job. So he does that for 22
years and he goes, it's pretty
200
00:13:03,396 --> 00:13:06,020
bad. Actually. It's really
hates me. You see those two or
201
00:13:06,045 --> 00:13:08,785
30 that my words are recorded
that there were no that's the
202
00:13:08,810 --> 00:13:12,416
beautiful, but because he's
looking at himself, no hope
203
00:13:12,441 --> 00:13:16,457
then he's he remembers and he
suddenly like. I if I
204
00:13:16,482 --> 00:13:20,205
everything else I ever say is
forgotten May this one thing be
205
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:24,186
remembered. Oh, that with my
latest breath, I might be guest
206
00:13:24,211 --> 00:13:30,361
his name Christ. I know that my
Redeemer lives and that in the
207
00:13:30,386 --> 00:13:35,038
end he will stand upon the
Earth and after I've died, I
208
00:13:35,063 --> 00:13:38,522
know I'm gonna die either now
or later, but I'm gonna die on
209
00:13:38,547 --> 00:13:43,304
my body will decay away, but he
will resurrect me and then I
210
00:13:43,329 --> 00:13:46,332
will look on him when we look.
Of the face to face this
211
00:13:46,357 --> 00:13:49,991
friend, the one who's always
been with me. My Redeemer, the
212
00:13:50,031 --> 00:13:52,811
one who's prayed for me. he
will bring me back. I will meet
213
00:13:52,836 --> 00:13:56,085
together on this Earth
physically and then all my
214
00:13:56,110 --> 00:13:59,166
physical problems will have
gone away and even if now, yes,
215
00:13:59,191 --> 00:14:01,436
I'm suffering and there's all
these things wrong with my
216
00:14:01,461 --> 00:14:04,733
body. Then there will be
nothing wrong with my body and
217
00:14:04,758 --> 00:14:07,215
I'll be close with him.
mortality just like him you
218
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,166
don't. I don't care if
everything else I've ever said.
219
00:14:10,191 --> 00:14:13,681
It's forgotten May this not be
forgotten and of course here we
220
00:14:13,706 --> 00:14:17,270
are maybe. Three and a half
thousand years or more later,
221
00:14:17,295 --> 00:14:21,566
we're reading it. His prayer is
well. It wasn't written on rock
222
00:14:21,591 --> 00:14:25,129
forever, but it's on paper and
it's here. We're still reading
223
00:14:25,154 --> 00:14:28,254
it. Jesus lives and it sounds
like something from one
224
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:30,944
Corinthians sometimes when I
read that phrase, I know that
225
00:14:30,969 --> 00:14:34,304
my Redeemer lives. Where's that
from people typically say, Oh,
226
00:14:34,329 --> 00:14:36,640
it's probably from somewhere in
the New Testament. It's from
227
00:14:36,665 --> 00:14:40,353
the yeah one Corinthians 15.
He's from the first book ever
228
00:14:40,378 --> 00:14:45,645
written in the Bible Jesus
lives. That's our hope. So job
229
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:49,978
1920 - five. It's a verse to
learn. It's nobody comes. I
230
00:14:50,003 --> 00:14:53,937
know that my Redeemer lives.
It's worth. I mean we're all of
231
00:14:53,978 --> 00:14:57,877
us preachers. We love preaching
and that particular sentence
232
00:14:57,902 --> 00:15:02,892
and all those sentences around
it So job in this very first
233
00:15:02,917 --> 00:15:07,124
Bible book ever written knows
whom his Redeemer is and his
234
00:15:07,149 --> 00:15:12,080
father, of course later on by
Abraham, who read reason that
235
00:15:12,105 --> 00:15:13,955
God could raise the
236
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:55,791
