Job cries out to God for a Savior

"He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him,
that we might confront each other in court. If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together, someone to remove God's rod from me,
so that his terror would frighten me no more. Then I would speak up without fear of him,
but as it now stands with me, I cannot. (Job 9:32-35 NIV)

I hear in Jobs heart a longing for a savior. A God who knows his suffering and pain. And God has answered for all of us. Jesus came to live among us to suffer and die for us. The Son of God became flesh for us. Praise be to God our Father and Jesus our Lord an savior.
Amen
