Glen Scrivener we come to the last of
7
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:41,860
our series of studies in the book of Job

00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:43,550
we've loved it
9
00:00:43,550 --> 00:00:45,680
actually I've as I said at the beginning
10
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,829
of our studies when I was six it was
11
00:00:48,829 --> 00:00:50,839
being read to me and taught to me by my
12
00:00:50,839 --> 00:00:52,430
parents on the lower slopes of Mount
13
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:55,280
Kenya and my sister Elizabeth today says
14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,219
oh job is one of my very favorite books
15
00:00:58,219 --> 00:01:00,739
from then on so we hope that we've all
16
00:01:00,739 --> 00:01:03,170
benefited together from this series of
17
00:01:03,170 --> 00:01:04,819
studies we come to the last one now
18
00:01:04,819 --> 00:01:09,049
chapter 38 to the end 42 why don't we
19
00:01:09,049 --> 00:01:12,740
take just as our text today as our title
20
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:15,829
for today chapter 42 James words to the
21
00:01:15,829 --> 00:01:19,520
Lord and he says verse 5 my ears has
22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,000
heard of you but now my eyes have seen
23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,840
you and as we come to therefore the end
24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,210
of us series of studies I think we
25
00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:30,680
should read a little bit from that
26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,560
chapter 42 job is now replying to the
27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,990
Lord so Eli who had spoken in our last
28
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:43,370
study and now chapter 38 the Lord speaks
29
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:46,490
at length and then Jobe replies here and
30
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:51,500
verse chapter 42 verse 1 GERB replied to
31
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,810
the Lord I know that you can do all
32
00:01:53,810 --> 00:01:56,049
things no plan of yours can be thwarted
33
00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:59,180
you asked who is this that obscures my
34
00:01:59,180 --> 00:02:01,909
counsel without knowledge surely I spoke
35
00:02:01,909 --> 00:02:04,700
of things I did not understand things
36
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,490
too wonderful for me to know you said
37
00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:10,128
listen now and I will speak I will
38
00:02:10,128 --> 00:02:13,970
question you and you shall answer me my
39
00:02:13,970 --> 00:02:16,819
ears had heard of you but now my eyes
40
00:02:16,819 --> 00:02:19,430
have seen you therefore I despise myself
41
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,250
and repent in dust and ashes
42
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:26,959
oh there's job well as we come then to
43
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:30,950
look at these chapters as Elijah earlier
44
00:02:30,950 --> 00:02:33,200
on has lifted job's vision sort of
45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,849
clouds and the storms do you remember
46
00:02:34,849 --> 00:02:37,519
that and then from the clouds and the
47
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:39,560
storms the Lord arrives now how does
48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,560
this final section kind of
49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,420
with other scriptures I love it because
50
00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:46,610
the Lord Jesus Christ comes and elihue's
51
00:02:46,610 --> 00:02:48,290
been sort of getting ready to introduce
52
00:02:48,290 --> 00:02:49,730
him and it's almost as if there is a
53
00:02:49,730 --> 00:02:52,069
storm coming and then he's like see the
54
00:02:52,069 --> 00:02:54,140
storms and the rain shows that he loves
55
00:02:54,140 --> 00:02:55,340
us and here's the class showing his
56
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:58,310
anger and hearing is remember Lord Jesus
57
00:02:58,310 --> 00:03:00,830
arrives and Kerry carries on the
58
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:02,870
conversation almost exactly from Ally
59
00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:05,000
who they patted passive and he carries
60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,290
on talking about the weather and things
61
00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:09,680
but it's out of the storm that the Lord
62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,370
Jesus comes to meet Joe not after the
63
00:03:13,370 --> 00:03:16,819
storm it's it's not in the sunshine it's
64
00:03:16,819 --> 00:03:19,310
in the storm which is at the heart of
65
00:03:19,310 --> 00:03:21,200
this big lesson that Ally has been
66
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,430
teaching her that Joe's been saying
67
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:24,739
that's right in the middle of the storm
68
00:03:24,739 --> 00:03:26,720
when we feel in the darkness and the
69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,730
chaos and when everything seems hard
70
00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:30,950
then the Lord talks to us he doesn't
71
00:03:30,950 --> 00:03:32,569
wait till afterwards and all that it's
72
00:03:32,569 --> 00:03:35,000
right there and then he will speak to us
73
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,940
and confront us and even Genesis 3
74
00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:39,799
there's that center which it's this wind
75
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:41,660
or the storm and then the Lord Jesus
76
00:03:41,660 --> 00:03:44,569
came to confront anthem or Sinai the
77
00:03:44,569 --> 00:03:47,000
Thunder and the lightning the storm then
78
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,220
he comes and speaks and Daniel 7 with
79
00:03:49,220 --> 00:03:51,320
the great clouds all these ways that
80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,959
this is right it's speaking all the way
81
00:03:53,959 --> 00:03:56,060
through scripture but it's in the storm
82
00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:58,130
that Joe gets to meet the Lord that's
83
00:03:58,130 --> 00:04:00,109
very powerful in you why does that Lord
84
00:04:00,109 --> 00:04:02,540
them begin by indicating his power over
85
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:04,190
the boundaries and the foundations of
86
00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:06,410
creation here in chapter 38
87
00:04:06,410 --> 00:04:09,140
I think one of the big issues in job has
88
00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:11,870
been this question of Justice will good
89
00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:13,549
people get good things were bad people
90
00:04:13,549 --> 00:04:14,720
get bad things and of course that the
91
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,039
wrong answer to that question is the
92
00:04:16,039 --> 00:04:19,010
moralistic answer of the comforters they
93
00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:20,358
just think oh there's a good person over
94
00:04:20,358 --> 00:04:21,529
there God blesses them as a bad person
95
00:04:21,529 --> 00:04:23,479
over they got zaps them it's not that
96
00:04:23,479 --> 00:04:26,030
but if it's not that is it just a
97
00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:29,630
free-for-all does chaos run amok in this
98
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:31,370
world and the Lord throughout his speech
99
00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:33,080
says no absolutely not there are
100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,660
boundaries and one of the key boundaries
101
00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:39,350
verse 8 who shut up the sea behind doors
102
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:42,440
the sea this sort of symbol of of chaos
103
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,500
and darkness so often in the Bible verse
104
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:48,650
11 the Lord says to the sea this far you
105
00:04:48,650 --> 00:04:51,289
may come and no father here is where
106
00:04:51,289 --> 00:04:54,200
your proud waves halt and on a day like
107
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,060
today we love to go to the beach and we
108
00:04:56,060 --> 00:04:56,540
love to see
109
00:04:56,540 --> 00:04:59,450
the Lord's power in turning back the
110
00:04:59,450 --> 00:05:01,700
forces of chaos and darkness and the
111
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:04,220
Lord says to us in in our suffering he
112
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,900
says even if the waters are up to your
113
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:08,420
neck as the psalmist says in Psalm 69
114
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:09,950
even if the waters are up to your neck
115
00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:11,690
this far they come and no further they
116
00:05:11,690 --> 00:05:13,730
won't go any further then our loving
117
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:15,950
Lord has determined that they go for he
118
00:05:15,950 --> 00:05:19,130
rules and reigns over our suffering and
119
00:05:19,130 --> 00:05:21,170
it's not a free-for-all it's not a
120
00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:22,550
cosmic free-for-all with that with the
121
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:24,290
powers of darkness he really does reign
122
00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:26,150
over the storm and I read about the
123
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:28,070
animals as well why does the Lord refer
124
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:30,290
so much to his care for the animals
125
00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:34,340
that's 38 verse 39 - right through the
126
00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:36,140
59 verse 30 yeah
127
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:38,360
only the Lord Jesus does that - and he
128
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,250
says look at the sparrow and even the
129
00:05:40,250 --> 00:05:41,870
sparrow can't fall to the ground without
130
00:05:41,870 --> 00:05:43,640
a Heavenly Father being in charge
131
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,700
because even that animal that little a
132
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:48,320
little bird that no one seems to notice
133
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,540
and it actually trusts its Heavenly
134
00:05:50,540 --> 00:05:53,450
Father and when suffering comes to it it
135
00:05:53,450 --> 00:05:55,550
kind of knows it's all under control of
136
00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:57,230
the Father and it is like that and then
137
00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:59,420
he goes all these examples of animals
138
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:03,320
who in and they cry that in the hunger
139
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,950
in their birth pains in their being
140
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:09,800
forced to obey in the the one I love the
141
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,930
wild ox who stayed does he stay by your
142
00:06:11,930 --> 00:06:13,970
manger and then there are I actually
143
00:06:13,970 --> 00:06:15,800
thinking about nativity scenes they're
144
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,420
in my head but I'll leave that for now
145
00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:19,610
and but the ostrich even he goes the
146
00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:21,230
ostrich is quite a foolish animal that
147
00:06:21,230 --> 00:06:23,810
endangers its young but it laughs as it
148
00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:26,060
races along and there's the horse who
149
00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:28,880
gets into war and conflict and it too
150
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,130
can rejoice in the middle of it all its
151
00:06:31,130 --> 00:06:33,050
difficulties so easy gives us this
152
00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:34,670
incredible picture of all these animals
153
00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:36,290
who have all sorts of difficulties and
154
00:06:36,290 --> 00:06:39,020
troubles and yet the Lord knows all
155
00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:42,230
about them and he made them any design
156
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:44,180
me knows about the foolishness as well
157
00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:46,280
as their troubles and pains and they
158
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,770
kind of trusted and he knows how to me
159
00:06:48,770 --> 00:06:50,900
even make them laugh in the middle of
160
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,240
their troubles and they saying can you
161
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,190
look at all this around you don't you
162
00:06:55,190 --> 00:06:58,100
trust me that I I care about you far
163
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:00,500
more than any of these animals I know
164
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:02,690
all about your foolishness and troubles
165
00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:04,940
- and do you not think even I might even
166
00:07:04,940 --> 00:07:07,910
be able to make you laugh with joy in an
167
00:07:07,910 --> 00:07:09,710
incredible way right
168
00:07:09,710 --> 00:07:11,480
in the middle of conflict in trouble yes
169
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,670
so they all knowing and all controlling
170
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:15,380
God they were thinking about in our last
171
00:07:15,380 --> 00:07:19,970
study well now on to chapter 40 so we
172
00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:21,860
could again think about why the Lord
173
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:24,530
said directly and well if we may put it
174
00:07:24,530 --> 00:07:26,960
reverently even fiercely why does she
175
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,260
confront job in chapter 40 verse 1 to 14
176
00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:32,000
is it's quite wrong
177
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,190
it is very strong we might expect that
178
00:07:34,190 --> 00:07:35,990
when the Lord shows up he'll just put an
179
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:37,520
arm around Germans they have a sit down
180
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,840
let's have a cup of tea let's have a
181
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,900
talk there there poor you and yet the
182
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:43,970
Lord is not like that he really isn't I
183
00:07:43,970 --> 00:07:45,920
mean chapter 40 verse 7 for instance
184
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,580
brace yourself like a man job and we see
185
00:07:49,580 --> 00:07:52,460
him being very very fierce but this is
186
00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:55,310
nothing less than what job has asked for
187
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:57,620
throughout the book of Job I wish I had
188
00:07:57,620 --> 00:07:59,300
an audience with the Lord I wish I could
189
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,370
argue my case with him face to face it's
190
00:08:01,370 --> 00:08:03,860
nothing less than what job is asked for
191
00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:05,870
it's nothing less than what job deserves
192
00:08:05,870 --> 00:08:08,120
but it's also nothing less than job
193
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,200
needs it is actually a kindness for the
194
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Lord to come and in his sovereignty show
195
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,270
how much more majestic he is than job's
196
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:19,040
understanding has ever been because job
197
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,080
has kind of taken things onto his own
198
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,730
shoulders he he doesn't seem to feel
199
00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:23,900
like the government is on his own
200
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:26,210
shoulders and the Lord Jesus Christ
201
00:08:26,210 --> 00:08:28,190
shows up to say no job the government
202
00:08:28,190 --> 00:08:30,800
isn't hot on your shoulders ok the
203
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,960
government is on mine and actually when
204
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,510
in job 42 he repents in sackcloth and
205
00:08:35,510 --> 00:08:38,059
ashes it's actually a great relief for
206
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:40,640
him and you see what a relief it is
207
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,909
throughout 42 so the Lord comes fiercely
208
00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:46,460
but it is what job asked for it is what
209
00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:48,590
he deserves and it's also what he needs
210
00:08:48,590 --> 00:08:53,300
yes and so when we think about now we're
211
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,220
coming really towards the end of the
212
00:08:55,220 --> 00:08:57,860
book pretty well why does the Lord again
213
00:08:57,860 --> 00:08:59,870
more questions why does he bring the
214
00:08:59,870 --> 00:09:01,970
book to a climax in boasting about his
215
00:09:01,970 --> 00:09:05,150
ability to defeat the be a Hamas and the
216
00:09:05,150 --> 00:09:08,770
Leviathan if these are just watch hippos
217
00:09:08,770 --> 00:09:10,940
crocodiles I saw you learn from some of
218
00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:13,180
the commentators oh dear Richard the
219
00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:15,200
absurdity some of these people should be
220
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,900
arrested because if the Lord has been
221
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:19,940
boasting and people boasting toffee
222
00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:22,120
he can design the galaxy
223
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,610
he maintains the universe and the oceans
224
00:09:24,610 --> 00:09:27,250
and the mountains and the greatest
225
00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:29,440
things he can do is he can handle a
226
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,140
hippo and a crocodile you just think oh
227
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:36,070
come on think again how ridiculous is
228
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:38,680
that and even my the Bible I've got here
229
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:40,300
as a footnote possibly a hippopotamus
230
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:42,070
and a crocodile and then other people
231
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:43,420
know it's probably more than a hippo
232
00:09:43,420 --> 00:09:44,710
passes a crocodile it's probably a
233
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:47,860
dinosaur again it's a it's a kind of the
234
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:50,650
same answer just a little bit bigger the
235
00:09:50,650 --> 00:09:53,200
the book is not about his ability to
236
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,470
manage a zoo his ability is about
237
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:59,200
because the it's about the devil and his
238
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,110
philosophy and his power and all he's
239
00:10:02,110 --> 00:10:05,350
doing the book began with Leviathan the
240
00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:07,810
gliding serpent this dragon when you
241
00:10:07,810 --> 00:10:09,610
read the description of Leviathan here
242
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:12,339
it's a fire-breathing enemy that can be
243
00:10:12,339 --> 00:10:14,170
hit with harpoons and it laughs at them
244
00:10:14,170 --> 00:10:16,510
if you fire harpoons into a hippo or a
245
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:18,490
crocodile it'll die this is something
246
00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:21,640
way but he says no nobody can beat these
247
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,130
the the Leviathan as a whole chapter
248
00:10:24,130 --> 00:10:26,310
about it's absolutely impossible
249
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:29,110
supernatural and it's it's the king over
250
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:31,720
all the proud and all these things be a
251
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,000
moth is this beast almost they were
252
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,160
thinking really of Daniel and think
253
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,310
about Revelation 13 revelation 30 and I
254
00:10:39,310 --> 00:10:41,050
know that you love revelation richard
255
00:10:41,050 --> 00:10:43,570
revelation 13:2 where the dragon gives
256
00:10:43,570 --> 00:10:45,459
his authority to a beast this land
257
00:10:45,459 --> 00:10:47,560
creature that represents the powers of
258
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:49,870
the world and the lords like I can
259
00:10:49,870 --> 00:10:51,640
handle that the Beast
260
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,560
who rules over the nations of the world
261
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:56,470
but more importantly I can handle the
262
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:59,410
dragon that's behind all this philosophy
263
00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:01,450
and you may have forgotten about him at
264
00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:03,610
the beginning of the book I haven't I
265
00:11:03,610 --> 00:11:06,400
can handle him don't you worry about him
266
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,500
just as I can handle all the boundaries
267
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:11,050
of chaos and darkness I can handle him
268
00:11:11,050 --> 00:11:13,150
the greatest of all the creatures and to
269
00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:16,120
me he's just a little kitten and just as
270
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,279
revelation 19 tells us when the Lord
271
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:21,040
Jesus comes to cut to confront the
272
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,380
dragon in battle it's over in a moment
273
00:11:23,380 --> 00:11:26,529
just with the breath of his mouth oh my
274
00:11:26,529 --> 00:11:27,580
oh my
275
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:29,709
as we coming towards you from the
276
00:11:29,709 --> 00:11:32,400
heights of you know philosophy and the
277
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,360
management of the heavens and the earth
278
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,050
why we now brought
279
00:11:36,050 --> 00:11:39,050
back down to earth with job sacrificing
280
00:11:39,050 --> 00:11:40,550
for his friends again this is what we
281
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:42,170
read about don't we this is the most
282
00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:44,510
wonderful ending to the book and and and
283
00:11:44,510 --> 00:11:46,760
when James the Apostle looks back on
284
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,920
this time in James chapter 5 verse 11
285
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,720
this is what he remembers he remembers
286
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,550
the happily-ever-after do we always
287
00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:53,810
remember the happily ever after about
288
00:11:53,810 --> 00:11:55,610
Joby one of my favorite verses is
289
00:11:55,610 --> 00:11:57,740
actually the final one verse 17 of 42
290
00:11:57,740 --> 00:12:00,890
and so he died old and full of years do
291
00:12:00,890 --> 00:12:02,480
it do we remember this happily ever
292
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,760
after well how do we get to the happily
293
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,970
ever after we're at verses 7 to 9 we see
294
00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:10,870
Jobe is called by the Lord my servant
295
00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:14,060
four times in three verses four times
296
00:12:14,060 --> 00:12:15,709
it's really being quadruple II
297
00:12:15,709 --> 00:12:18,350
underlined Jobe is playing the part of
298
00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:20,420
the servant of the Lord
299
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:22,700
so what Joe gets to do is he gets to
300
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:25,399
play the part of Christ who he knows
301
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:28,040
from job 16 we might remember from job
302
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,950
16 you know Christ is called job's
303
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:34,070
witness he's advocate he's intercessor
304
00:12:34,070 --> 00:12:38,329
and his friend and here job plays the
305
00:12:38,329 --> 00:12:40,370
part of Christ to his friends and
306
00:12:40,370 --> 00:12:43,490
through the sacrifice of Jobe and then
307
00:12:43,490 --> 00:12:45,649
through the intercession of Jobe his
308
00:12:45,649 --> 00:12:48,140
friends if foolish friends are forgiven
309
00:12:48,140 --> 00:12:49,550
it's a wonderful picture of the Cross
310
00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:52,640
the Lord Jesus the servant of the Lord
311
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,860
dies for us has risen again he's
312
00:12:54,860 --> 00:12:56,870
ascended to the Father's right hand he's
313
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:58,610
praying for us so we've got this cross
314
00:12:58,610 --> 00:13:01,550
this resurrection and then we also get
315
00:13:01,550 --> 00:13:03,950
this sort of final coming picture from
316
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:06,649
verse 10 and then from verse 12 there at
317
00:13:06,649 --> 00:13:09,020
the Lord blessed the latter part of
318
00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:11,570
job's life more than the first at the
319
00:13:11,570 --> 00:13:14,089
end we don't just get sort of Paradise
320
00:13:14,089 --> 00:13:16,940
Regained do we we get we get this this
321
00:13:16,940 --> 00:13:19,130
greater thing and and in the story of
322
00:13:19,130 --> 00:13:20,420
the Bible we don't just go back to the
323
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:22,370
Garden of Eden do we would we come come
324
00:13:22,370 --> 00:13:24,140
on to the city and the whole world
325
00:13:24,140 --> 00:13:26,390
raised up again to the glory of Christ
326
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:28,730
and and we see things twice as good as
327
00:13:28,730 --> 00:13:32,000
they were at the beginning and so it's a
328
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,310
wonderful ending to the book of Job he
329
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:37,730
died old and full of years and so what
330
00:13:37,730 --> 00:13:39,890
job gets to to teach us in this final
331
00:13:39,890 --> 00:13:41,660
chapter is what he's been teaching us
332
00:13:41,660 --> 00:13:43,610
throughout but the the Lord is known in
333
00:13:43,610 --> 00:13:45,230
suffering through his cross and
334
00:13:45,230 --> 00:13:46,310
resurrection we can know him in
335
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:48,199
suffering and also we can know him
336
00:13:48,199 --> 00:13:49,730
beyond suffering and that
337
00:13:49,730 --> 00:13:51,560
wonderful future when I know that my
338
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,779
redeemer lives and in the end I will see
339
00:13:53,779 --> 00:13:56,600
him on the earth I I myself will see him
340
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,550
I am Not Another you know how my heart
341
00:13:58,550 --> 00:14:01,519
yearns within me that's really the the
342
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:03,829
ending that Joe gives to us so as we
343
00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:06,889
round off yes with the thinking of the
344
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:09,649
cross at the center of all things and
345
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:11,870
then the believer in the Lord Jesus
346
00:14:11,870 --> 00:14:14,570
Christ who carries the cross learn to
347
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:16,310
carry the cross in the footsteps of the
348
00:14:16,310 --> 00:14:18,769
Lord Jesus and reminds of wonderful
349
00:14:18,769 --> 00:14:21,260
words from Thomas a Kempis of all
350
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:23,690
hundreds of years ago fine Christian
351
00:14:23,690 --> 00:14:25,459
leader who said carry the cross
352
00:14:25,459 --> 00:14:28,190
patiently and with full submission and
353
00:14:28,190 --> 00:14:32,209
in the end it shall carry you so just in
354
00:14:32,209 --> 00:14:34,399
closing off again we want to thank you

00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:36,680
