00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.179
 Job 42, it's on page 542, and Kirsty is going to come and read for us there.

00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.440
 Okay, Job chapter 42, verses starting at verse 7.

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:32.020
 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Tamanite,

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:38.880
 I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not spoken of me what is right as my servant Job has.

00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:46.439
 So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves.

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.579
 My servant Job will pray for you and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly.

00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:57.879
 You have not spoken of me what is right as my servant Job has.

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:08.000
 So Eliphaz the Tamanite, Bildad the Shuite and so far the Namathite did what the Lord told them and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:15.780
 After Job had prayed for his friend, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.

00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:22.340
 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house.

00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:31.420
 They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:36.140
 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first.

00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:43.219
 He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.

00:01:43.219 --> 00:01:46.579
 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

00:01:47.459 --> 00:01:53.560
 The first daughter he named Jemima, the second Keziah and the third Keren Hapuk.

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:58.539
 Nowhere in all the land where there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters.

00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:02.680
 And their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.240
 After this, Job lived 140 years.

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:11.219
 He saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:14.740
 And so he died, old and full of years.

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:16.680
 Hang on, hang on.

00:02:37.420 --> 00:02:40.439
 Well, there's sheets and pens going round.

00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.840
 And if you want to make use of them, you can take notes.

00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:52.620
 So we get to the end of Job.

00:02:52.620 --> 00:03:05.860
 And thankfully, after many weeks of lots of suffering,

00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:11.740
 suffering turned to healing and celebration.

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.060
 And that's what we're going to be thinking about.

00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:20.599
 So have your Bibles open there at Job chapter 42.

00:03:22.140 --> 00:03:26.599
 And we'll just ask for God's help as we look at this together.

00:03:26.699 --> 00:03:27.319
 Let's pray.

00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:40.120
 Our Father God, we thank you for this great book.

00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.020
 The life story of a man who suffered much.

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.480
 Thank you for all that it has been able to teach us and instruct us.

00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:56.400
 And we pray now that, again by your Holy Spirit,

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.620
 you would be teaching us afresh and helping us to see with fresh eyes

00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:06.640
 the wonder of the new creation,

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.300
 of the healing that you bring to your people

00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:13.740
 that is found in Christ.

00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.079
 So please encourage us all today.

00:04:18.780 --> 00:04:20.780
 In Jesus' name. Amen.

00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:30.399
 Well, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty,

00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:31.159
 do you remember them?

00:04:32.059 --> 00:04:36.579
 Some of the great fairy tales that I'm sure you've all heard.

00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:39.139
 But do you remember how they all finish?

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.239
 And they all lived happily ever after.

00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.879
 That's what makes them great stories.

00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.620
 That's why children love to listen to them.

00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:54.120
 And that's why parents love to tell them to their children.

00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.319
 It's what we all dream of.

00:04:57.060 --> 00:05:00.180
 Because we all know what happily ever after means.

00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:06.139
 It means the end of all the bad things that break and destroy our lives.

00:05:06.719 --> 00:05:11.459
 And it means the end of all the suffering, heartache and pain.

00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.240
 But the problem is that they are just fairy tales.

00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.259
 They're not real tales.

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.899
 Real life does not always end happily ever after.

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.819
 During these weeks of going through Job,

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.300
 the book that I've mentioned to you before,

00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:35.279
 A Place of Healing by Joni.

00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.559
 As a teenager, she suffered a terrible accident,

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.559
 which has left her in a wheelchair for over 40 years,

00:05:43.219 --> 00:05:44.859
 paralysed from the neck down.

00:05:45.979 --> 00:05:52.119
 Listen to what she says about her desire for things to end well.

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:56.139
 Through all the years of my paralysis,

00:05:57.139 --> 00:06:05.139
 I have longed, yearned, ached, wept and prayed for God's healing in my broken body.

00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:10.300
 After 40 plus years in a wheelchair, however,

00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:14.500
 I have settled into the realisation that in his love,

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.600
 sovereignty, far-reaching, perfect, but often incomprehensible plan,

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.360
 he has chosen to gently but firmly say,

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.280
 no child.

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.120
 Not now.

00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:30.939
 Not yet.

00:06:32.780 --> 00:06:36.500
 In fact, rather than discovering healing in her life,

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.540
 there seems to be more suffering in her life.

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:40.759
 Throughout the book,

00:06:40.819 --> 00:06:44.480
 she tells how she's now dealing with excruciating pain,

00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.200
 and in the epilogue of the book,

00:06:47.780 --> 00:06:51.439
 she tells how she's just got news of breast cancer.

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.180
 It seems that real life is not a fairy tale.

00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:00.600
 Real life does not always end with

00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.220
 and they all lived happily ever after.

00:07:05.700 --> 00:07:07.259
 But there is a story.

00:07:07.939 --> 00:07:09.259
 It's not a fairy tale.

00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:14.639
 It's a true story where everything does end happily ever after.

00:07:16.219 --> 00:07:19.399
 Again, listen to Joni on this,

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.360
 as she thinks about happily ever after.

00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:27.899
 Children seem to know.

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:34.339
 They realise that the world is full of wolves, trolls and big bad bears.

00:07:35.099 --> 00:07:37.500
 They're aware that things aren't quite right,

00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.699
 that's something wrong with the world.

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:41.879
 And we all want, we long,

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:45.660
 for that time when we will live happily ever after.

00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:48.839
 When the prince will finally kiss us

00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.879
 and we will wake up from this strange dream

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.500
 and enter true happiness and joy forever and ever.

00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.879
 That's why faith in Jesus Christ

00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.259
 is so satisfying,

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:02.819
 so fulfilling,

00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.120
 for only in Christ is every longing fulfilled.

00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:09.759
 every hope realised,

00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:12.720
 every yearning for peace and wellbeing

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.639
 finally answered.

00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.160
 In Christ is the culmination of that classic struggle

00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.639
 and the defeat of all things evil

00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.920
 when our wonderful Saviour will right every wrong

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.660
 and the Prince of Peace will be our King of Kings.

00:08:29.779 --> 00:08:34.279
 There is a happy ending ahead.

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:39.459
 The true story of Job that we're looking at

00:08:39.459 --> 00:08:43.459
 tells us what that happy ending is.

00:08:44.459 --> 00:08:47.079
 In fact, the ending of Job in some ways

00:08:47.079 --> 00:08:49.819
 is also our story.

00:08:50.579 --> 00:08:54.439
 It's our story because it's the Gospel story.

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:57.220
 Because what happens to Job

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:58.360
 is a picture,

00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.480
 it gives us a glimpse of the ultimate healing

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.240
 that is yet to come

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.440
 where God's children

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.480
 will live happily ever after.

00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.560
 And in the epilogue of Job,

00:09:12.659 --> 00:09:13.879
 these last few verses,

00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.139
 we are given three pictures,

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.039
 or I've put together three pictures,

00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:19.240
 that guarantees

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.320
 our ultimate healing.

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.300
 The first picture is this,

00:09:25.420 --> 00:09:28.240
 that is about the suffering of Job

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.500
 and the sacrifice of Jesus.

00:09:33.140 --> 00:09:35.040
 Job, as we've seen through the book,

00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:36.240
 has suffered terribly.

00:09:37.140 --> 00:09:39.900
 And to add to his personal grief and pain,

00:09:40.260 --> 00:09:42.940
 he had three so-called friends who came along

00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:45.379
 and for 21 chapters,

00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:47.920
 they add insult to injury.

00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.819
 This was their so-called comfort or wisdom to Job.

00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:53.179
 This is, in a nutshell,

00:09:53.339 --> 00:09:54.539
 what they were saying to him.

00:09:54.839 --> 00:09:55.479
 They were saying,

00:09:55.599 --> 00:09:56.740
 God punishes sin.

00:09:58.019 --> 00:09:59.719
 Job, you're suffering.

00:10:01.099 --> 00:10:03.179
 Therefore, Job, you need to repent

00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:05.139
 so that you can be healed.

00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:08.419
 But the reality is,

00:10:08.459 --> 00:10:09.399
 as we've been seeing,

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.479
 that Job is actually innocent.

00:10:12.099 --> 00:10:14.459
 He has done nothing wrong.

00:10:14.459 --> 00:10:17.079
 Look at what God has to say about this in verse 7.

00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.439
 42.

00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.779
 Chapter 42, verse 7.

00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:23.759
 After the Lord had said these things to Job,

00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:25.899
 he said to Eliphius the Temanite,

00:10:26.599 --> 00:10:28.179
 I am angry with you.

00:10:28.319 --> 00:10:30.679
 My judgment is upon you

00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.459
 and your two friends

00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:35.979
 because you have not spoken of me what is right,

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:38.279
 as my servant Job has.

00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.860
 You see, it's not Job who's been in the wrong.

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.079
 It's the three friends who have been in the wrong.

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.220
 They are the ones who actually deserve to suffer.

00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.080
 They're the ones who are guilty.

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.700
 They're the ones that have spoken wrong against God.

00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:59.900
 Now, you place yourself into Job's shoes.

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:03.300
 After all of these things that have happened,

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:07.100
 how would you treat these so-called friends

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.960
 after everything they've said and done?

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.180
 Go on, secretly,

00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:12.900
 what would you like to do to them?

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:13.640
 Hmm?

00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.120
 Pull their fingernails off one by one or something?

00:11:17.640 --> 00:11:17.800
 Hmm?

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.240
 Well, how Job responds to his friends

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.699
 is actually a picture

00:11:22.699 --> 00:11:26.759
 of how Jesus responds to us.

00:11:27.359 --> 00:11:28.639
 Look at the middle of verse 8.

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.620
 Look at how he responds to them.

00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:32.359
 Middle of verse 8.

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:35.799
 My servant Job will pray for you

00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.959
 and I will accept his prayer

00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:41.559
 and not deal with you

00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:42.939
 according to your folly,

00:11:43.079 --> 00:11:44.039
 to your sin.

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.539
 You have not spoken of me what is right

00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:49.860
 as my servant Job has.

00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:52.099
 So Eliphaz, the Temanite,

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:53.799
 Bildad, the Shuite,

00:11:53.939 --> 00:11:55.679
 Zophart, the Namathite

00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:57.919
 did what the Lord told them

00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:02.120
 and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:05.879
 You see, how Job responds to his friends

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:06.899
 in this instance

00:12:06.899 --> 00:12:08.219
 is a picture, I think,

00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.120
 of how Jesus responds to us.

00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.819
 Job has been the innocent one.

00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.679
 Yet he is the one who prays for his friends.

00:12:18.139 --> 00:12:19.559
 He acts on this occasion

00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.779
 almost as a mediator

00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:24.120
 between God and the friends

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.120
 so that they can be forgiven.

00:12:26.699 --> 00:12:28.279
 Look what it says in the middle of verse 8.

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:31.980
 So that God will not deal with them

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:33.980
 according to their folly.

00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:37.120
 They deserve to suffer.

00:12:38.319 --> 00:12:40.059
 They deserve God's anger,

00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:41.419
 as it says in verse 7.

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:43.139
 But in turn,

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.679
 they are shown mercy

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.419
 and grace.

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.620
 Now whenever we suffer,

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.059
 one of the first complaints we make is,

00:12:52.699 --> 00:12:54.099
 God, that's not fair,

00:12:54.219 --> 00:12:56.179
 or it shouldn't happen to me.

00:12:57.319 --> 00:12:59.740
 As if somehow we have a right

00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:00.519
 in this world

00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:01.779
 not to suffer.

00:13:02.479 --> 00:13:04.699
 As if something about our lives

00:13:04.699 --> 00:13:06.579
 says that we should never have

00:13:06.579 --> 00:13:07.559
 trouble or hardship.

00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.759
 But the big surprise

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.139
 as we've seen through the book

00:13:12.139 --> 00:13:13.919
 is not that we suffer,

00:13:14.959 --> 00:13:17.339
 but why is God so gracious

00:13:17.339 --> 00:13:19.419
 and merciful with us

00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:21.119
 when we have rejected

00:13:21.119 --> 00:13:23.759
 and rebelled against God so much?

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.379
 The question is not

00:13:26.379 --> 00:13:27.559
 why do we suffer,

00:13:28.599 --> 00:13:31.479
 but why do we not actually suffer more

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.639
 when we see the lives

00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:34.820
 that we live?

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.259
 Like Job's three friends,

00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.399
 we deserve so much more,

00:13:41.019 --> 00:13:42.759
 but yet God responds

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:43.960
 with grace and mercy

00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.639
 to his people.

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:47.960
 He doesn't treat us

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.279
 as we deserve.

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.860
 And this is the beauty

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:53.279
 of the gospel story.

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:55.080
 These are the things

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.460
 we long to read about

00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:57.620
 and are true

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:59.600
 when we look at God's word.

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.120
 Job's friends

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.019
 had to make a sacrifice.

00:14:05.180 --> 00:14:06.399
 We see that in verse 8.

00:14:07.379 --> 00:14:09.519
 The seriousness of their sin

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.420
 is seen by the cost involved.

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:12.980
 Verse 8.

00:14:13.060 --> 00:14:13.879
 So they are to take

00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:15.320
 seven bulls

00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.460
 and seven rams.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.259
 Go to my servant Job

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:20.560
 and make a sacrifice,

00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:21.800
 a burnt offering

00:14:21.800 --> 00:14:23.279
 for yourselves.

00:14:24.379 --> 00:14:25.779
 Now an offering like this

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.639
 was loaded

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.100
 with symbolism.

00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:30.159
 The friends would

00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.740
 take this animal,

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:32.580
 one of the animals,

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.480
 and they would place

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.220
 their hands on the animal

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:38.080
 as an act of identification.

00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:41.240
 And then symbolically,

00:14:41.420 --> 00:14:42.320
 not literally,

00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:44.159
 it's like my sin

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.420
 being transferred

00:14:45.420 --> 00:14:46.379
 to this animal.

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:48.960
 So that what happens

00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:49.840
 to this animal

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:51.340
 should actually happen

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:51.940
 to me.

00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:56.340
 So when this animal dies,

00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:57.700
 when that throat is slit

00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:59.280
 and the blood pours,

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:00.260
 they are saying,

00:15:00.260 --> 00:15:01.340
 this death

00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:05.560
 is in place of my death.

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.120
 I am the one

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:08.700
 deserving to die.

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:11.160
 That's what's going on

00:15:11.160 --> 00:15:12.600
 with this sacrifice.

00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:13.980
 But of course,

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:15.860
 all of this was to point forward

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:17.440
 to the real hero

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.420
 of the story

00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:19.680
 who came to be

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.059
 our sacrifice,

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:23.059
 the complete sacrifice.

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:25.679
 Jesus was the one

00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:26.859
 who beyond Job

00:15:26.859 --> 00:15:28.799
 was truly innocent

00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.500
 and suffered.

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.679
 He never did anything wrong.

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:34.219
 But yet he entered

00:15:34.219 --> 00:15:35.599
 into this suffering world.

00:15:35.739 --> 00:15:36.879
 He came into this world

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.159
 to take my sin.

00:15:38.239 --> 00:15:39.559
 He came to take your sin.

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:40.679
 He came to suffer

00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:41.299
 the punishment

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:42.319
 that you and I

00:15:42.319 --> 00:15:43.819
 deserve to suffer.

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:46.820
 And by faith,

00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:48.000
 which is this act

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.480
 of identification

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.360
 again with the Lord Jesus,

00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:54.940
 our sins are transferred

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:57.340
 from us to Jesus.

00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:00.360
 And if we could picture

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:01.980
 Christ on the cross,

00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:03.760
 it's like we take the hammer

00:16:03.760 --> 00:16:04.840
 and the nails

00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.180
 and we crucify Jesus.

00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:11.380
 With every blow of the hammer

00:16:11.380 --> 00:16:12.720
 as the nails go into

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.759
 the hands and the feet,

00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:14.700
 we are saying,

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.019
 this death

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:17.899
 is in place of

00:16:17.899 --> 00:16:19.100
 my death.

00:16:20.100 --> 00:16:21.960
 I deserve to die.

00:16:24.040 --> 00:16:25.259
 But yet we are forgiven.

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.560
 We are not treated

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:29.920
 as our sins deserve.

00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:30.540
 Instead,

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.899
 we receive mercy

00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:32.779
 upon mercy

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:33.800
 and grace

00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:34.960
 upon grace.

00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:38.920
 This is the first step

00:16:38.920 --> 00:16:40.980
 to our ultimate healing.

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.399
 as we find acceptance

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.360
 and forgiveness

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.279
 with our God

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:48.840
 and how we can live

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.820
 happily ever after.

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:55.000
 The second picture

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.080
 is one of a feast.

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.620
 The feast of Job

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:59.120
 and the welcome

00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:00.019
 of Jesus.

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:02.300
 Thankfully,

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:03.120
 Job's suffering,

00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.500
 it didn't last forever.

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.120
 It soon turned

00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:07.200
 to celebration.

00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:08.000
 Verse 10.

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:10.319
 After Job had prayed

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.319
 for his friends,

00:17:11.679 --> 00:17:12.759
 the Lord made him

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.859
 prosperous again

00:17:13.859 --> 00:17:14.759
 and gave him

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.299
 twice as much

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:17.879
 as he had before.

00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:19.759
 What an amazing

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.720
 turn of events

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.460
 for this man.

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:23.500
 His life has been

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:25.059
 completely restored

00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:26.500
 and to celebrate,

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:27.839
 he throws a party,

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:28.879
 a great feast.

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.559
 Verse 11.

00:17:29.939 --> 00:17:31.159
 All of his brothers

00:17:31.159 --> 00:17:32.159
 and sisters

00:17:32.159 --> 00:17:33.119
 and everyone

00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.159
 who had known him

00:17:34.159 --> 00:17:35.139
 before came

00:17:35.139 --> 00:17:36.079
 and ate with him

00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:36.839
 in his house.

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:38.179
 and they comforted

00:17:38.179 --> 00:17:39.379
 and consoled him

00:17:39.379 --> 00:17:40.679
 over all the trouble

00:17:40.679 --> 00:17:41.359
 the Lord

00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:42.799
 had brought upon him

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.119
 and each one

00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:44.899
 gave it a piece

00:17:44.899 --> 00:17:45.500
 of silver

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:46.859
 and a gold ring.

00:17:47.639 --> 00:17:48.740
 What an occasion

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.599
 that would have been.

00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.339
 After all the suffering,

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:53.839
 all of that heartache

00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:54.579
 and pain,

00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:56.819
 Job is in his home

00:17:56.819 --> 00:17:58.399
 surrounded with his friends

00:17:58.399 --> 00:17:59.220
 and his family

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:01.259
 celebrating God's

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:02.379
 amazing goodness

00:18:02.379 --> 00:18:02.879
 to him.

00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.920
 But what's incredible

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:08.480
 about this feast is

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.640
 Job is celebrating

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.480
 this feast

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.840
 with those friends

00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:15.140
 because they're there too

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:16.640
 who had caused him

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.620
 so much trouble.

00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:20.680
 Job has opened his house

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:21.320
 as it were.

00:18:22.020 --> 00:18:23.560
 The welcome has been given

00:18:23.560 --> 00:18:25.320
 and they are there

00:18:25.320 --> 00:18:26.200
 welcomed in

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:26.960
 to eat

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:28.220
 and to drink with him.

00:18:30.060 --> 00:18:30.640
 And again,

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:31.620
 I think it gives us

00:18:31.619 --> 00:18:32.239
 a picture

00:18:32.239 --> 00:18:33.899
 of how this feast

00:18:33.899 --> 00:18:34.719
 of Job

00:18:34.719 --> 00:18:37.239
 is like the great feast

00:18:37.239 --> 00:18:37.899
 of Jesus

00:18:37.899 --> 00:18:39.879
 who welcomes

00:18:39.879 --> 00:18:40.500
 people

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:41.959
 like you and me.

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:44.199
 We don't deserve

00:18:44.199 --> 00:18:45.159
 to be there

00:18:45.159 --> 00:18:46.819
 but yet we are invited

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:48.079
 and we are welcomed.

00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:49.699
 It's as if Jesus

00:18:49.699 --> 00:18:50.799
 has thrown open

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.459
 the doors

00:18:51.459 --> 00:18:52.099
 of his home

00:18:52.099 --> 00:18:52.919
 so that together

00:18:52.919 --> 00:18:53.839
 we can eat

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.759
 and drink

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:55.559
 with him.

00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:58.519
 This picture

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.339
 of this feast

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:00.240
 is common

00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.019
 through scripture

00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:02.119
 and it's carried

00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:03.139
 on through the Bible.

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:04.319
 Have a look at Isaiah

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:05.679
 chapter 25

00:19:05.679 --> 00:19:07.859
 it's on page 708.

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:08.720
 Keep your finger

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:09.959
 in Job

00:19:09.959 --> 00:19:11.959
 go to Isaiah 25

00:19:11.959 --> 00:19:14.759
 it's on page 708.

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:27.839
 Isaiah 25

00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:29.400
 starting at verse 6

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.519
 On this mountain

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.119
 the Lord Almighty

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.180
 will prepare

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:35.759
 a feast

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:37.000
 of rich food

00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.279
 for all peoples

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.379
 a banquet

00:19:40.379 --> 00:19:41.759
 of aged wine

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.859
 the very best

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.879
 the best

00:19:43.879 --> 00:19:44.459
 of meats

00:19:44.459 --> 00:19:45.779
 and the finest

00:19:45.779 --> 00:19:46.439
 of wines

00:19:46.439 --> 00:19:48.059
 on this mountain

00:19:48.059 --> 00:19:49.059
 he will destroy

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:49.719
 the shroud

00:19:49.719 --> 00:19:50.519
 that enfolds

00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:51.119
 all people

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:51.839
 the sheet

00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.399
 that covers

00:19:52.399 --> 00:19:53.079
 all nations

00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:54.719
 he will swallow

00:19:54.719 --> 00:19:55.500
 up death

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:55.979
 forever

00:19:55.979 --> 00:19:56.919
 the sovereign

00:19:56.919 --> 00:19:57.859
 Lord will wipe

00:19:57.859 --> 00:19:58.740
 away the tears

00:19:58.740 --> 00:20:00.199
 from all their faces

00:20:00.199 --> 00:20:01.539
 he will remove

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:02.359
 the disgrace

00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:03.199
 of his people

00:20:03.199 --> 00:20:05.079
 from all the earth

00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:05.839
 the Lord

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:06.619
 has spoken

00:20:06.619 --> 00:20:08.179
 what a feast

00:20:08.179 --> 00:20:09.500
 that is going

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:09.979
 to be

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:12.720
 and this feast

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.500
 in Isaiah

00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:14.819
 is the same feast

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:16.599
 that Jesus promises

00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:17.900
 to all

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:18.480
 who will come

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.000
 to him

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:21.339
 go to Luke

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:22.900
 chapter 15

00:20:22.900 --> 00:20:24.759
 it's on page

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:26.140
 1049

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:29.680
 the story

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.420
 is familiar

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:32.059
 the prodigal son

00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:33.759
 the one who had left

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.920
 who had gone away

00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:35.700
 and it gives us

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:36.339
 that picture

00:20:36.339 --> 00:20:37.299
 of the son

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:37.960
 returning

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.360
 and the celebration

00:20:40.360 --> 00:20:41.340
 and the feast

00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:42.640
 that takes place

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.380
 we'll pick it up

00:20:44.380 --> 00:20:46.059
 in verse 20

00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:49.720
 Luke 15

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:50.480
 verse 20

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.059
 so the son

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:54.960
 got up

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.640
 and went

00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:56.660
 to his father

00:20:56.660 --> 00:20:57.819
 but while he was

00:20:57.819 --> 00:20:58.900
 still a long way

00:20:58.900 --> 00:20:59.140
 off

00:20:59.140 --> 00:20:59.660
 his father

00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:00.299
 saw him

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:01.299
 and was filled

00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:02.079
 with compassion

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.640
 for him

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.480
 he ran

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.220
 to his son

00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:05.460
 he threw his arms

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:06.039
 around him

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:07.059
 and kissed him

00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:08.159
 the son

00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:10.000
 said to him

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.539
 father

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:11.639
 I have sinned

00:21:11.639 --> 00:21:12.399
 against heaven

00:21:12.399 --> 00:21:13.179
 and against you

00:21:13.179 --> 00:21:14.240
 I am no longer

00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:15.159
 worthy to be

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:16.019
 called your son

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:17.879
 but the father

00:21:17.879 --> 00:21:18.879
 said to his servants

00:21:18.879 --> 00:21:19.440
 quick

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.220
 bring the best robe

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:21.980
 put it on

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.779
 and put a ring

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:23.679
 on his finger

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:24.720
 and sandals

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:25.539
 on his feet

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:27.059
 bring the fattened cap

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:27.619
 and kill it

00:21:27.619 --> 00:21:29.399
 let's have a feast

00:21:29.399 --> 00:21:31.079
 and celebrate

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.079
 for this son

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.440
 of mine

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:34.039
 was dead

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.919
 and is alive again

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:35.599
 he was lost

00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:36.279
 and is found

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.659
 so they began

00:21:37.659 --> 00:21:38.759
 to celebrate

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:42.079
 that's what the good news is

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:43.759
 that's what the gospel story

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.099
 is all about

00:21:45.099 --> 00:21:46.939
 people like you and me

00:21:46.939 --> 00:21:48.519
 who do not deserve

00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:49.839
 to be there

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:51.240
 get welcomed in

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.579
 to join in the feast

00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:55.959
 and as it was in Job

00:21:55.959 --> 00:21:57.539
 to share in that feast

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:59.319
 was a sign of acceptance

00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.279
 and belonging

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.439
 to join in that celebration

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.720
 is that seal of approval

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:06.460
 that you are forgiven

00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:08.420
 that you are treasured

00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:11.460
 and of course

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:12.759
 this feast of Job

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:13.759
 with his friends

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:15.360
 is a glimpse

00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:16.440
 of that ultimate

00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:17.640
 and final feast

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.340
 the feast of heaven

00:22:19.340 --> 00:22:21.299
 with God's people

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:24.019
 a feast where like Job

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:26.299
 look at verse 11 of Job

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:28.220
 a feast like Job

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:29.820
 where we are comforted

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:31.339
 and consoled

00:22:31.339 --> 00:22:32.579
 not by friends

00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:33.299
 and family

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:36.579
 but by God

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:37.579
 our Father

00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:41.220
 who wipes away

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:42.099
 every tear

00:22:42.099 --> 00:22:45.539
 this is the feast

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:47.419
 that we have been

00:22:47.419 --> 00:22:48.299
 welcomed to

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:50.480
 so this is the second

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:51.359
 step to our

00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:52.519
 ultimate healing

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:54.559
 and how we can live

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.359
 happily

00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:56.639
 ever after

00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.380
 the third picture

00:23:00.380 --> 00:23:01.580
 is one of the

00:23:01.580 --> 00:23:02.860
 blessing of Job

00:23:02.860 --> 00:23:05.080
 and the promise

00:23:05.080 --> 00:23:05.800
 of Jesus

00:23:05.800 --> 00:23:09.920
 Job's suffering

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:11.500
 does come to an end

00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:13.759
 and he experiences

00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:15.540
 a complete renewal

00:23:15.540 --> 00:23:17.340
 and restoration

00:23:17.340 --> 00:23:19.540
 look at verse 12

00:23:19.540 --> 00:23:22.240
 the Lord blessed

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:23.180
 the latter part

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:24.140
 of Job's life

00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:25.280
 more than the first

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.879
 he had 14,000 sheep

00:23:28.879 --> 00:23:30.940
 6,000 camels

00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:32.119
 a thousand yoke

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:32.660
 of oxen

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:33.700
 and a thousand

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.200
 donkeys

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:34.740
 double

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.960
 everything that he

00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:36.680
 had before

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.139
 and he also

00:23:39.139 --> 00:23:40.259
 had seven sons

00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:41.759
 and three daughters

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:44.879
 verse 16

00:23:44.879 --> 00:23:46.160
 after this Job

00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:46.639
 lived

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:47.599
 a hundred

00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:48.399
 and forty

00:23:48.399 --> 00:23:48.940
 years

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:50.139
 he saw his

00:23:50.139 --> 00:23:50.819
 children

00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.859
 and the

00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:52.660
 grandchildren

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:54.560
 to the fourth

00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:55.259
 generation

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:57.440
 and so he died

00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:58.019
 old

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:59.279
 and full

00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.920
 of years

00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:01.960
 how different

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:02.620
 this is

00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:03.680
 to chapter 1

00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.220
 isn't it

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:06.640
 where he experienced

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:07.480
 the loss of his

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:07.960
 family

00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:09.960
 the loss of all

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:10.640
 his wealth

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.080
 the ruin

00:24:12.080 --> 00:24:12.900
 of his health

00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:14.200
 this is a

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:14.920
 complete

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:15.740
 and utter

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.700
 reversal

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:17.800
 of what has

00:24:17.800 --> 00:24:18.120
 happened

00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:18.880
 in fact

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:19.700
 his life

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:20.680
 that he has

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.220
 now

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:22.220
 can't be

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:22.799
 compared

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:23.340
 to his

00:24:23.340 --> 00:24:24.160
 pre-suffering

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:24.700
 days

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:26.900
 it's an

00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:27.480
 amazing

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:28.400
 transformation

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.700
 now we've

00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.100
 got to be

00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:31.759
 very careful

00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:32.519
 as we read

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:32.920
 this

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.180
 not to read

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:34.680
 in what we

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.100
 call a

00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:35.820
 prosperity

00:24:35.820 --> 00:24:36.560
 theology

00:24:36.560 --> 00:24:37.400
 into this

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:38.320
 and by that

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:38.680
 I mean

00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:39.220
 the kind

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:39.759
 of teaching

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:40.380
 that says

00:24:40.380 --> 00:24:42.080
 God rewards

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:42.460
 you

00:24:42.460 --> 00:24:43.140
 and God

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:43.500
 is going

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.140
 to bless

00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:44.519
 you

00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:45.200
 if you

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:45.779
 do good

00:24:45.779 --> 00:24:46.360
 things

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:48.559
 that's

00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:49.079
 not what

00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:49.439
 happens

00:24:49.439 --> 00:24:49.919
 to Job

00:24:49.919 --> 00:24:50.259
 look at

00:24:50.259 --> 00:24:50.819
 verse 10

00:24:50.819 --> 00:24:53.119
 after Job

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:53.959
 had prayed

00:24:53.959 --> 00:24:54.459
 for his

00:24:54.459 --> 00:24:55.000
 friends

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:56.019
 the Lord

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.619
 made him

00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:57.119
 prosperous

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:57.659
 again

00:24:57.659 --> 00:24:58.479
 and gave

00:24:58.479 --> 00:24:59.000
 him twice

00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:59.500
 as much

00:24:59.500 --> 00:24:59.779
 as he

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:00.000
 had

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.539
 before

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:02.419
 Job

00:25:02.419 --> 00:25:03.219
 prays

00:25:03.219 --> 00:25:03.579
 for his

00:25:03.579 --> 00:25:04.099
 friends

00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:05.399
 not for

00:25:05.399 --> 00:25:05.819
 what he

00:25:05.819 --> 00:25:06.419
 can get

00:25:06.419 --> 00:25:07.339
 from God

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:08.319
 but because

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:09.039
 he loves

00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:09.859
 his God

00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:11.079
 there's no

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:11.759
 ulterior

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:12.439
 motive

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:14.180
 he obeys

00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:14.660
 God

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:16.160
 because he

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:16.580
 simply

00:25:16.580 --> 00:25:17.120
 loves

00:25:17.120 --> 00:25:17.640
 God

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.360
 and wants

00:25:18.360 --> 00:25:18.680
 to do

00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:18.980
 what's

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:19.420
 right

00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:20.960
 God

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.340
 never

00:25:21.340 --> 00:25:21.840
 promised

00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:22.440
 to Job

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:23.080
 Job

00:25:23.080 --> 00:25:23.380
 look

00:25:23.380 --> 00:25:24.400
 I know

00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:24.840
 your friends

00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:25.120
 have been

00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:25.700
 pretty bad

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:25.940
 to you

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:26.340
 but if

00:25:26.340 --> 00:25:26.840
 you pray

00:25:26.840 --> 00:25:27.279
 for them

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:27.559
 if you

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:27.880
 could just

00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:28.200
 bring

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:28.559
 yourself

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:28.960
 to pray

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:29.279
 for them

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.779
 I'm

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:29.980
 going to

00:25:29.980 --> 00:25:30.340
 make you

00:25:30.340 --> 00:25:31.080
 prosperous

00:25:31.080 --> 00:25:32.400
 no he

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:32.980
 never says

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:33.259
 that

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:33.480
 there's

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:33.940
 no such

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:34.519
 promises

00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:36.200
 Job

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:36.759
 does

00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:37.240
 what is

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.779
 right

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:39.180
 and God

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:39.580
 in his

00:25:39.580 --> 00:25:39.980
 grace

00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:40.559
 gives him

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.220
 more than

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:41.600
 he could

00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:42.240
 ever

00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:43.200
 imagine

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.519
 this is

00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:45.940
 not a

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:46.440
 reward

00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:47.059
 for something

00:25:47.059 --> 00:25:47.700
 good he's

00:25:47.700 --> 00:25:47.880
 done

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:48.559
 this is

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:48.779
 just

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:49.220
 simply

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:49.460
 the

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:50.259
 extravagance

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:50.799
 of God's

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:51.299
 grace

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:53.460
 just as

00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:54.019
 Job's

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.500
 suffering

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:55.700
 is not

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.400
 a sign

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:56.799
 of a

00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.680
 disobedient

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:58.180
 life

00:25:58.180 --> 00:26:00.240
 so Job's

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:00.579
 healing

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:01.620
 is not

00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:02.079
 a sign

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:02.420
 of an

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:03.039
 obedient

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.740
 life

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:05.220
 God

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:05.980
 responds

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.640
 in grace

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:07.200
 simply

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:07.839
 because of

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.500
 who God

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:08.740
 is

00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:09.539
 not because

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:09.940
 of what

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:10.359
 we are

00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:10.700
 or who

00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:11.220
 we are

00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:14.720
 but once

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:15.079
 again

00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:15.579
 what we

00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:16.299
 see happen

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:16.940
 to Job

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:17.400
 here and

00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:17.980
 the blessing

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:18.579
 that comes

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:19.079
 to his

00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:19.519
 life

00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.559
 is a

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:22.039
 picture

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.120
 of what

00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:23.880
 Jesus has

00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:24.380
 promised

00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:25.559
 to his

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:25.980
 people

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:27.720
 God

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:28.600
 in his

00:26:28.600 --> 00:26:29.180
 grace

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:30.640
 has

00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:31.259
 blessed

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.640
 us

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.079
 beyond

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:32.319
 our

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.120
 wildest

00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:33.600
 dreams

00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.439
 let's

00:26:36.439 --> 00:26:36.619
 just

00:26:36.619 --> 00:26:37.079
 take a

00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:37.379
 look

00:26:37.379 --> 00:26:39.099
 at what

00:26:39.099 --> 00:26:39.359
 the

00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:39.759
 risen

00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:40.259
 Jesus

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:41.419
 has

00:26:41.419 --> 00:26:41.959
 promised

00:26:41.959 --> 00:26:42.500
 to his

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:42.939
 children

00:26:42.939 --> 00:26:44.000
 let's

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.319
 go to

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:44.899
 Revelation

00:26:44.899 --> 00:26:46.939
 chapter 21

00:26:46.939 --> 00:26:47.279
 at the

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:47.939
 very end

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:59.920
 the

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.519
 ultimate

00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:01.080
 healing

00:27:01.080 --> 00:27:01.720
 of Job

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:02.160
 comes

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:02.460
 at the

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:02.880
 end

00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:04.880
 just as

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:05.220
 our

00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:05.700
 ultimate

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.180
 healing

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:07.900
 will come

00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:08.180
 at the

00:27:08.180 --> 00:27:08.600
 end

00:27:08.600 --> 00:27:10.559
 Revelation

00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:11.400
 21

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.500
 let's pick

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:12.720
 it up

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.080
 in verse

00:27:13.080 --> 00:27:13.480
 3

00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:15.600
 and picture

00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:16.080
 this

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:17.339
 this

00:27:17.339 --> 00:27:17.519
 is

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:17.779
 what

00:27:17.779 --> 00:27:18.000
 is

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:18.460
 promised

00:27:18.460 --> 00:27:18.759
 this

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:18.919
 is

00:27:18.919 --> 00:27:19.079
 the

00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:19.559
 blessing

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:20.179
 that

00:27:20.179 --> 00:27:20.339
 is

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.519
 for

00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:20.839
 all

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:21.159
 those

00:27:21.159 --> 00:27:21.339
 who

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:21.619
 love

00:27:21.619 --> 00:27:21.839
 and

00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:22.240
 trust

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:22.879
 the

00:27:22.879 --> 00:27:23.139
 Lord

00:27:23.139 --> 00:27:23.539
 Jesus

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:25.379
 verse

00:27:25.379 --> 00:27:25.619
 3

00:27:25.619 --> 00:27:25.919
 and I

00:27:25.919 --> 00:27:26.439
 heard

00:27:26.439 --> 00:27:26.919
 a loud

00:27:26.919 --> 00:27:27.339
 voice

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:27.579
 from

00:27:27.579 --> 00:27:27.759
 the

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.199
 throne

00:27:28.199 --> 00:27:28.779
 saying

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.839
 now

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.119
 the

00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:30.679
 dwelling
