00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.660
 One of my responsibilities as a parent is to raise my children into wise adults.

00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:12.320
 And by that I don't mean experienced and educated adults.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.300
 I mean wise adults.

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.960
 We are told in Proverbs, the beginning of wisdom,

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.500
 the very first foundation of wisdom is in fact the fear of the Lord.

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:31.480
 And so wisdom is not a collection of knowledge and experience per se.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.219
 And it's not a collection of pithy sayings or abstract thoughts.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.939
 It is in fact relational.

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:40.140
 It's about a relationship.

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:45.039
 To grow in wisdom is to grow in relationship with our Lord

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.700
 through all the ups and downs of our lives,

00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.780
 in all the ups and downs of our daily experiences.

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:55.539
 And so my responsibility is to teach my children a knowledge of God.

00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:58.520
 Not that they might have a knowledge of the Bible,

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:02.100
 but in fact that they might have God.

00:01:02.260 --> 00:01:05.120
 They might know God and that they might fear Him

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.520
 so that they don't have to fear Him.

00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:16.859
 A big part of that teaching is me being a wise parent day by day.

00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:21.000
 That is that they see me fearing the Lord day by day.

00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.079
 And one of my responsibilities as your pastor is to do the same thing.

00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:29.579
 To preach and to pray and to live in such a way

00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:34.099
 that you are prepared in mind and heart to grow in relational wisdom,

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:39.620
 especially in the day of calamity, the day of disaster.

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:44.100
 The day that the biopsy test comes back positive.

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:48.260
 The day that the police knock at the door to break the news of a fatal accident.

00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:52.960
 The day that you discover a terrible secret in a relationship.

00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:59.500
 These are the days that can be the start of unimaginable grieving and suffering.

00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:06.680
 And so my job is to prepare my children and you for those days

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.120
 so that instead of cursing God,

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.879
 you would in fact bow humbly,

00:02:13.419 --> 00:02:19.240
 worshipping Him and blessing Him as your sovereign and merciful Father.

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.000
 And I don't mean, when I say that,

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.020
 a stiff, upper lip, cavalier attitude.

00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:31.920
 Where you are resting on your own resources,

00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:37.520
 I mean a reverent and trusting worship of God.

00:02:38.860 --> 00:02:43.560
 And so this book of Job, as we begin in this search of wisdom,

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.599
 takes us to the life of a man who loses everything.

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:49.800
 As we just heard just then,

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.180
 Job's possessions, his livelihood, his children and his health

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:56.800
 are ripped away from him in tragic circumstances.

00:02:57.539 --> 00:02:59.300
 And even what he has left,

00:02:59.980 --> 00:03:01.920
 his wife and his mates,

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:03.800
 turn out to be no help at all.

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:09.180
 Job enters into crippling, mind-numbing anguish.

00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:12.960
 And on one level, you could say that the book of Job

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.719
 is all about suffering.

00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:18.659
 It does offer certain insights into why bad things happen.

00:03:20.020 --> 00:03:22.460
 But I want to suggest to you that it is fundamentally

00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:24.819
 so much more than about suffering.

00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:28.780
 Because although there are a few insights into the issue of suffering,

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.939
 the central idea of the book is not why suffering occurs.

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.780
 The reason I say that is because it's no mystery at all to the reader

00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:39.819
 why suffering occurs.

00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:42.560
 We know the answer to that by the end of chapter 1.

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.020
 The real mystery and the tension of the book

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:52.080
 is not why suffering happens or why Job suffers,

00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:57.719
 but how he will behave towards God in his suffering.

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.560
 Will Job curse God as Satan predicts?

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:06.740
 Or will Job continue to trust God?

00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:12.120
 And this is the tension that draws us on as we read through the book.

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.939
 Because it appears right at the very first couple of chapters

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:19.019
 that Job does well.

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:21.980
 And then you start reading chapter 3 onwards.

00:04:22.660 --> 00:04:25.259
 And it appears that Job's not doing so well.

00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:32.280
 The central theme is the nature of wisdom and where it can be found.

00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.179
 And the way it tackles that issue of the nature of wisdom

00:04:36.179 --> 00:04:43.199
 is by creating a conflict between two different views of wisdom.

00:04:44.799 --> 00:04:50.699
 One is the rigid connection between actions and consequences.

00:04:51.379 --> 00:04:53.959
 For instance, if you are lazy, you'll be poor.

00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:56.579
 If you smoke, you'll get lung cancer.

00:04:56.579 --> 00:05:02.300
 And if you have a rigid connection between actions and consequences,

00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:05.259
 then what happens is when you see the consequence,

00:05:05.719 --> 00:05:08.759
 you start reading the consequences back into actions.

00:05:09.599 --> 00:05:10.919
 The person's got lung cancer.

00:05:11.219 --> 00:05:12.300
 Must have been a smoker.

00:05:13.099 --> 00:05:14.060
 That person's poor.

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.459
 Clearly they're lazy.

00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:22.139
 That is, in this idea of wisdom,

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:24.099
 the world is ordered

00:05:24.099 --> 00:05:27.659
 and wisdom is about knowing the order.

00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:32.060
 Wisdom is about understanding the set rules

00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:34.620
 and principles of order in the world.

00:05:35.479 --> 00:05:37.659
 Or as the people on the video said,

00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:42.179
 wisdom's about knowledge from experience.

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:45.879
 That's what that sort of wisdom is.

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.079
 Knowledge from experience.

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.660
 I've experienced this in the world

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:53.740
 and that's what wisdom is understanding

00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:54.879
 as you grow older,

00:05:55.100 --> 00:05:56.800
 understanding what the order is.

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:03.040
 Job's three friends are working with that kind of framework.

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:06.860
 Because all this bad stuff is happening to Job,

00:06:07.300 --> 00:06:10.280
 it must be because he's done something really bad.

00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.759
 That is their experience.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.679
 And that is only partly right.

00:06:18.979 --> 00:06:20.579
 What Job helps us to see,

00:06:21.619 --> 00:06:24.339
 another idea of wisdom on this side,

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:29.399
 is that life is rarely, if ever, that straightforward.

00:06:31.599 --> 00:06:35.179
 And that is the limitation over here of human wisdom.

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.039
 My experience.

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:39.659
 That's the limitation of human wisdom.

00:06:40.380 --> 00:06:42.720
 And Job helps us to see that biblical wisdom

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.380
 is not so rigid.

00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.740
 It helps us to see that the order of our universe

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:49.980
 is not always there for us to see.

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:54.640
 We can't always see the order of the universe.

00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.420
 And so therefore our experience is limited.

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:02.900
 And it helps us to see that there is a God

00:07:02.900 --> 00:07:05.860
 who stands above the order

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:07.520
 and knows the order

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:09.400
 and is not restricted to the order.

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.379
 And therefore biblical wisdom is being in relationship

00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:13.639
 with that God.

00:07:14.139 --> 00:07:17.300
 Which goes way beyond human wisdom.

00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:22.980
 That's the clash as we go throughout this book.

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.879
 It is fundamentally about knowing and trusting the God

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.879
 who knows and is sovereign and is good.

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.879
 And this need for relational wisdom is especially crucial

00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.000
 when life is tough.

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.019
 How do we grow in wisdom

00:07:40.019 --> 00:07:43.720
 when the world isn't as we think it ought to be?

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:45.980
 And so in that respect

00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:47.980
 the book of Job

00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:50.300
 is kind of like a first aid manual.

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.139
 You see a first aid manual

00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:54.560
 doesn't normally go into great detail

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.959
 about all the different ways

00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.019
 that you can break an arm.

00:07:57.699 --> 00:07:58.980
 It's more concerned about

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:01.000
 how do you fix the arm when it's broken.

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.139
 So Job doesn't give us an exhaustive list

00:08:05.139 --> 00:08:06.579
 of why suffering happens.

00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.560
 He's more concerned to explain

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.300
 how to behave towards God

00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:12.220
 when suffering happens.

00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:14.279
 And so let's have a look at it there.

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:15.680
 Get your sheets open up.

00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:17.360
 Job 1 and 2.

00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:21.980
 In verses 1 to 6 of chapter 1

00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:24.259
 we get a glimpse of what Job is like.

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.540
 He is unquestionably godly.

00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.259
 Three times in chapters 1 and 2

00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:31.719
 we are told that Job

00:08:31.719 --> 00:08:34.860
 was a blameless and an upright man.

00:08:35.059 --> 00:08:37.179
 The book begins with this declaration

00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:38.480
 in verse 1.

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.120
 In the land of Uz

00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.899
 there lived a man whose name was Job

00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:45.200
 and this man was blameless and upright.

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.200
 And then if you go down to verse 8

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:48.840
 we are told what it means

00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.120
 to be blameless and upright.

00:08:51.419 --> 00:08:53.580
 A man who fears God

00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:55.299
 and shuns evil.

00:08:57.299 --> 00:08:59.100
 Which is the definition of wisdom.

00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:02.279
 According to Proverbs chapter 1.

00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:05.200
 To be blameless and upright

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.159
 means to fear God and shun evil.

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.059
 We are supposed to see Job

00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:11.220
 as the model of a righteous

00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:12.600
 and a wise man.

00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:14.600
 Not that he was perfect or sinless.

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:15.960
 Not saying that for a moment.

00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:17.720
 All the contributors in this book

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:18.939
 Job and his three mates

00:09:18.939 --> 00:09:20.039
 particularly his four mates

00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.340
 are convinced that all people are sinful.

00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:25.920
 And in fact Job's first act

00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:26.660
 in the book

00:09:26.660 --> 00:09:28.960
 is in fact to offer sacrifices

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:30.280
 for sin.

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:33.440
 So he's not sinless here.

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:34.500
 We're not saying that at all.

00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.000
 We're meant to see Job

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.220
 as an extremely well-to-do man.

00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:40.500
 He is upright

00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:41.899
 and he is blameless.

00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:43.500
 He's the complete man.

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:44.960
 In fact it says

00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.860
 there is no one like him

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:48.980
 among all the people of the east.

00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:51.039
 He is a head and shoulders

00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.259
 above everyone.

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:54.960
 Everything

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.820
 is

00:09:56.820 --> 00:09:58.940
 as we would want it to be.

00:10:00.539 --> 00:10:01.860
 A good man

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:04.360
 enjoying a good life.

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.759
 Actions are consequences.

00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.799
 We might even say

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.100
 that Job has worked hard

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:14.879
 on his godliness

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.059
 and he's therefore

00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:17.980
 getting the rewards

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:19.139
 from God

00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:19.899
 for that.

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:23.460
 And so imagine the shock

00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:25.399
 within the space

00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:26.519
 of two days

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.279
 all your children

00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:28.899
 are killed

00:10:28.899 --> 00:10:30.879
 you lose your job

00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:32.960
 your wife thinks you're mad

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.500
 all your employees

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:35.179
 are murdered

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:36.600
 your superannuation

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.980
 nest egg

00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:38.740
 is stolen

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:41.000
 and just to top it all off

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.200
 you now have no roof

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:42.919
 over your head

00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:44.220
 because it probably

00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:45.120
 doesn't matter anyway

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.120
 you've been admitted

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:46.960
 to hospital

00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:48.680
 because from the top

00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:49.220
 of your head

00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:49.919
 to the soles

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:50.799
 of your feet

00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.019
 you are covered

00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:53.379
 in gaping sores

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:54.680
 which are oozing pus.

00:10:56.259 --> 00:10:57.120
 Oh one more thing

00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:58.639
 while you're there

00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.820
 lying in hospital

00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:00.560
 wondering about

00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:01.240
 how you're going to

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.440
 pay the medical bills

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.560
 and the funeral

00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:04.519
 for your kids

00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.480
 your long time

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.299
 Christian mates

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:08.740
 come in

00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:09.599
 and tell you

00:11:09.599 --> 00:11:10.979
 that the events

00:11:10.979 --> 00:11:12.079
 of the past two days

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:13.639
 are all your fault

00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.579
 as you sit there

00:11:16.579 --> 00:11:17.579
 with a piece of brick

00:11:17.579 --> 00:11:19.479
 scraping your sores

00:11:19.479 --> 00:11:21.819
 it's all your fault

00:11:21.819 --> 00:11:22.039
 Job

00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.819
 if it wasn't for you

00:11:25.819 --> 00:11:26.279
 Job

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:26.899
 none of this

00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:27.479
 would happen

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.460
 in the space

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:32.379
 of two days

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:32.960
 Job

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:34.060
 goes from prosperity

00:11:34.060 --> 00:11:34.620
 to poverty

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:35.759
 from great comfort

00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.399
 to crippling

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.159
 from pain

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:38.159
 from the greatest

00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:39.519
 man in the east

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.180
 to sitting on a rubbish tip

00:11:41.180 --> 00:11:42.259
 scraping

00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:43.800
 his body

00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:45.539
 with a broken piece

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:46.139
 of pottery

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:49.320
 and one of the worst

00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:50.220
 things for Job

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:51.820
 is that

00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:53.760
 why

00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:58.920
 you see

00:11:58.920 --> 00:11:59.220
 Job

00:11:59.220 --> 00:11:59.820
 doesn't have

00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:00.800
 the full picture

00:12:00.800 --> 00:12:01.900
 Job

00:12:01.900 --> 00:12:02.840
 does not know

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:03.760
 what we know

00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:08.920
 we get a glimpse

00:12:08.920 --> 00:12:09.520
 into the meeting

00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:10.260
 between Satan

00:12:10.260 --> 00:12:10.840
 and God

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.440
 verses

00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:13.740
 6 to 12

00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:14.980
 describe the encounter

00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:16.460
 in verse 7

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:17.920
 Satan says

00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:18.680
 that he spends

00:12:18.680 --> 00:12:19.280
 his time

00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:19.840
 going to

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.200
 and from

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:20.700
 the earth

00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:21.500
 we know

00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:22.220
 from 1 Peter

00:12:22.220 --> 00:12:22.639
 that he

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.420
 prowls around

00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:25.240
 like a roaring

00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:25.700
 lion

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:26.420
 looking for

00:12:26.420 --> 00:12:27.420
 someone to destroy

00:12:27.420 --> 00:12:28.620
 and then God

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:29.960
 puts on display

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:31.440
 to Satan

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.040
 a trophy

00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:34.000
 that he delights

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.040
 in very much

00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:36.379
 verse 8

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:37.540
 have you considered

00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:38.759
 my servant Job

00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:40.320
 there is no one

00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:41.180
 on earth

00:12:41.180 --> 00:12:41.720
 like him

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.720
 he is blameless

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.160
 and upright

00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:43.700
 a man

00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:44.840
 who fears God

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:46.019
 and shuns evil

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:48.220
 doesn't seem

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:48.879
 like a clever

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.559
 thing to say

00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:50.000
 does it

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:50.919
 it's like

00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:51.299
 the owner

00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:51.980
 of a jewellery

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:52.299
 store

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.259
 meeting a thief

00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:53.740
 in his

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:54.519
 store

00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:55.399
 late one night

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:56.000
 and saying to him

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:56.319
 what are you

00:12:56.319 --> 00:12:56.980
 doing here

00:12:56.980 --> 00:12:58.059
 and he says

00:12:58.059 --> 00:12:59.299
 just

00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:00.840
 wandering around

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.419
 your store

00:13:01.419 --> 00:13:03.679
 and the owner

00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:03.939
 says

00:13:03.939 --> 00:13:04.779
 oh

00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:05.360
 why are you

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:05.500
 here

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:05.980
 let me show you

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:06.259
 the most

00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:07.240
 valuable diamond

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:07.919
 we have

00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.120
 doesn't seem

00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:10.579
 to make a lot

00:13:10.579 --> 00:13:11.299
 of sense

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:13.100
 it might look

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:13.679
 as if God

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:14.740
 has made a mistake

00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:18.320
 but God

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.100
 never says

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:19.960
 oh dear

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.960
 oops

00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.620
 I didn't see

00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:21.940
 that one

00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:22.299
 coming

00:13:22.299 --> 00:13:27.039
 so let's

00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:27.860
 just leave aside

00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:28.340
 that God's

00:13:28.340 --> 00:13:29.000
 making a mistake

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:29.399
 here and

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:29.720
 leaves us

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:30.019
 with one

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:30.639
 possibility

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.279
 he is

00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:33.000
 setting Job

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:33.360
 up for

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:33.700
 trouble

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:37.320
 he is

00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:37.820
 proud of

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:38.139
 Job

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:39.159
 Job's

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:39.620
 fear of

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:39.960
 God

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:40.220
 has

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:40.759
 endeared

00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:41.100
 God

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:41.600
 to Job

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:41.840
 in a

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:42.419
 very deep

00:13:42.419 --> 00:13:42.779
 way

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:44.000
 but Satan

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:44.899
 quite naturally

00:13:44.899 --> 00:13:45.419
 is not

00:13:45.419 --> 00:13:46.159
 impressed

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:46.699
 in verse

00:13:46.699 --> 00:13:47.139
 9

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:48.199
 he insinuates

00:13:48.199 --> 00:13:49.319
 that Job

00:13:49.319 --> 00:13:49.860
 is not

00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:50.259
 such a

00:13:50.259 --> 00:13:50.979
 great example

00:13:50.979 --> 00:13:51.679
 of reverence

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:52.159
 of God

00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.500
 he says

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:53.740
 that the

00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:54.679
 only reason

00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:55.000
 Job

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:55.459
 fears

00:13:55.459 --> 00:13:55.879
 God

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.299
 is to

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:57.019
 get rich

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:57.879
 and so

00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:58.259
 Satan

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:58.719
 says to

00:13:58.719 --> 00:13:58.959
 God

00:13:58.959 --> 00:13:59.459
 in verse

00:13:59.459 --> 00:13:59.839
 11

00:13:59.839 --> 00:14:00.319
 stretch

00:14:00.319 --> 00:14:00.539
 out

00:14:00.539 --> 00:14:00.779
 your

00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:01.319
 hand

00:14:01.319 --> 00:14:01.819
 and

00:14:01.819 --> 00:14:02.199
 strike

00:14:02.199 --> 00:14:02.719
 everything

00:14:02.719 --> 00:14:03.439
 he has

00:14:03.439 --> 00:14:04.059
 and he

00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:04.259
 will

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:04.860
 surely

00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:05.259
 curse

00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:05.379
 you

00:14:05.379 --> 00:14:05.500
 to

00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:05.679
 your

00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:06.139
 face

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:07.919
 now

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:08.259
 what

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:08.939
 God

00:14:08.939 --> 00:14:09.240
 could

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:09.360
 have

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:09.539
 said

00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:09.639
 at

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:09.779
 that

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:10.039
 moment

00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:10.339
 is

00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:11.379
 I

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:11.540
 don't

00:14:11.540 --> 00:14:11.680
 need

00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:11.820
 to

00:14:11.820 --> 00:14:12.060
 prove

00:14:12.060 --> 00:14:12.600
 anything

00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:12.840
 to

00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:13.019
 you

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:13.120
 or

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.220
 to

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:13.540
 anyone

00:14:13.540 --> 00:14:13.960
 else

00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:14.700
 I

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:15.160
 know

00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:15.399
 the

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:15.620
 heart

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:15.720
 of

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:15.899
 my

00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:16.240
 servant

00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:16.660
 Job

00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:17.820
 and

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:18.040
 that

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:37.400
 sin

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:37.779
 in

00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:38.039
 what

00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:38.320
 he

00:22:38.320 --> 00:22:38.860
 said

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:40.340
 he

00:22:40.340 --> 00:22:40.580
 did

00:22:40.580 --> 00:22:40.779
 not

00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:41.420
 accuse

00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:41.960
 God

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:42.420
 by

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:42.779
 going

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:43.120
 all

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:43.259
 the

00:22:43.259 --> 00:22:43.400
 way

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:43.620
 up

00:22:43.620 --> 00:22:43.779
 to

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:44.200
 God

00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:44.559
 and

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:44.880
 saying

00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:45.120
 it

00:22:45.120 --> 00:22:45.519
 came

00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:45.940
 all

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:46.279
 from

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:46.559
 his

00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:46.960
 hand

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:50.100
 Job

00:22:50.100 --> 00:22:50.700
 rock

00:22:50.700 --> 00:22:50.980
 of

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:51.420
 refuge

00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:51.620
 and

00:22:51.620 --> 00:22:51.880
 hope

00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:52.100
 when

00:22:52.100 --> 00:22:52.620
 everything

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:52.980
 else

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:53.220
 was

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:54.160
 crumbling

00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:54.860
 was

00:22:54.860 --> 00:22:55.079
 the

00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:55.720
 absolute

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.519
 sovereignty

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:56.779
 of

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.100
 God

00:22:57.100 --> 00:22:59.600
 I

00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:00.860
 love

00:23:00.860 --> 00:23:01.559
 one of

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:01.920
 Charles

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:02.680
 Spurgeon's

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.140
 quote

00:23:03.140 --> 00:23:03.640
 who

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.299
 himself

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:05.120
 went

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:05.340
 through

00:23:05.340 --> 00:23:06.200
 enormous

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.900
 physical

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:08.000
 and emotional

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.640
 suffering

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:09.259
 in his

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:09.779
 life

00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:11.819
 he

00:23:11.819 --> 00:23:12.420
 said

00:23:12.420 --> 00:23:13.559
 that it

00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:13.940
 was an

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:14.799
 unbearable

00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:15.200
 thought

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:15.819
 for him

00:23:15.819 --> 00:23:17.639
 that his

00:23:17.639 --> 00:23:18.379
 suffering

00:23:18.379 --> 00:23:19.720
 would come

00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:20.079
 from

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.759
 anywhere

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.460
 else

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:22.960
 than his

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.559
 sovereign

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:24.460
 gracious

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:25.599
 father

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.700
 it was

00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:28.539
 unbearable

00:23:28.539 --> 00:23:29.139
 to him

00:23:29.139 --> 00:23:29.740
 that there

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.299
 was any

00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:30.940
 other source

00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:31.339
 for his

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:31.839
 suffering

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.240
 than his

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:33.740
 sovereign

00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:35.019
 gracious

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:35.960
 merciful

00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:36.859
 father

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:40.979
 to be

00:23:40.979 --> 00:23:41.539
 wise

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:42.939
 to live

00:23:42.939 --> 00:23:43.279
 well

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.500
 in

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:43.899
 God's

00:23:43.899 --> 00:23:44.359
 world

00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:45.679
 is to

00:23:45.679 --> 00:23:45.939
 say

00:23:45.939 --> 00:23:46.299
 with the

00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:46.799
 psalmist

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.199
 in

00:23:47.199 --> 00:23:47.839
 115

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:48.500
 3

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:49.639
 our

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:50.119
 God

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:50.539
 is in

00:23:50.539 --> 00:23:50.699
 the

00:23:50.699 --> 00:23:51.059
 heavens

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:52.359
 and he

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:52.740
 does

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.059
 whatever

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:53.319
 he

00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:53.839
 pleases

00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:59.259
 it's

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.559
 to fear

00:23:59.559 --> 00:23:59.879
 God

00:23:59.879 --> 00:24:00.819
 and to

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.000
 shun

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:01.279
 evil

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.859
 and so

00:24:03.859 --> 00:24:04.179
 let us

00:24:04.179 --> 00:24:04.599
 make the

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:04.979
 absolute

00:24:04.979 --> 00:24:05.519
 sovereignty

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.079
 of God

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.319
 the

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:06.819
 rock

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:07.599
 on which

00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:08.339
 we build

00:24:08.339 --> 00:24:09.139
 our lives

00:24:09.139 --> 00:24:09.779
 and our

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:10.319
 church

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:12.119
 but let me

00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:12.759
 say as well

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.139
 that this

00:24:13.139 --> 00:24:14.059
 does not

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:14.659
 the sovereignty

00:24:14.659 --> 00:24:15.139
 of God

00:24:15.139 --> 00:24:15.899
 does not

00:24:15.899 --> 00:24:16.619
 work itself

00:24:16.619 --> 00:24:17.079
 out

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:17.839
 in a

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.460
 flippant

00:24:18.460 --> 00:24:19.899
 insensitive

00:24:19.899 --> 00:24:21.519
 superficial

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.000
 fatalistic

00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:23.899
 response

00:24:23.899 --> 00:24:24.779
 to

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.740
 suffering

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:27.000
 for Job

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.779
 or for us

00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:28.460
 verse 20

00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:29.119
 of chapter 1

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:30.319
 Job got up

00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:32.619
 tore his

00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:33.299
 robe and he

00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:34.039
 shaved his

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.319
 head

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.799
 let your

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.559
 tears

00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:40.319
 flow

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.339
 freely

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:42.500
 when your

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:42.980
 day of

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:43.379
 suffering

00:24:43.379 --> 00:24:44.019
 comes

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:46.419
 the tears

00:24:46.419 --> 00:24:47.259
 of grief

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:48.379
 and pain

00:24:48.379 --> 00:24:49.859
 are not

00:24:49.859 --> 00:24:50.799
 the signs

00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:52.059
 of unbelief

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:54.779
 let me say

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:55.200
 that again

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:56.899
 the tears

00:24:56.899 --> 00:24:57.720
 of grief

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:58.759
 and pain

00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:00.200
 are not

00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:01.099
 the signs

00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:02.879
 of unbelief

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:06.080
 what made

00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:06.700
 Job's

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:07.400
 worship

00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:08.460
 magnificent

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:09.260
 for us

00:25:09.260 --> 00:25:09.980
 to behold

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:12.960
 was that

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:14.180
 it was

00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:15.540
 in grief

00:25:15.540 --> 00:25:18.520
 not because

00:25:18.520 --> 00:25:19.280
 it replaced

00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:19.860
 grief

00:25:19.860 --> 00:25:21.840
 it was

00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:22.760
 in grief

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:25.599
 let your

00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:26.140
 tears

00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:26.539
 flow

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:27.119
 freely

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:28.039
 when your

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:28.460
 suffering

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:29.200
 comes

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.039
 and let

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:32.379
 us

00:25:32.379 --> 00:25:33.759
 at least

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.400
 model

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:36.259
 the silent

00:25:36.259 --> 00:25:36.980
 friends of

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:37.359
 Job

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:37.940
 at the end

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:38.759
 of chapter 2

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:40.319
 not when they

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.059
 start speaking

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:42.140
 but the silent

00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:43.140
 friends of Job

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:45.200
 as they

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:45.680
 gathered

00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:46.859
 and sat

00:25:46.859 --> 00:25:47.379
 with him

00:25:47.379 --> 00:25:48.240
 to weep

00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:48.720
 with those

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:49.240
 who weep

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:53.000
 friends

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:53.359
 suffering

00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:53.920
 and hardship

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.700
 are a certainty

00:25:54.700 --> 00:25:56.460
 both for you

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:57.039
 as an individual

00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:57.859
 and even for us

00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:58.500
 as a church

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:59.579
 let me tell you

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.299
 that change

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:02.400
 in any group

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:02.980
 of people

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:04.740
 brings hardship

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.400
 and loss

00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:06.859
 it results

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:07.559
 in grief

00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.740
 suffering

00:26:09.740 --> 00:26:10.599
 and hardship

00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:11.480
 is inevitable

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:13.579
 individually

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:14.359
 and corporately

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:16.640
 growth

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:18.160
 is optional

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:23.519
 so given

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:23.980
 the certainty

00:26:23.980 --> 00:26:24.580
 of suffering

00:26:24.580 --> 00:26:25.060
 and our

00:26:25.060 --> 00:26:25.540
 limited

00:26:25.540 --> 00:26:26.440
 understanding

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.060
 of suffering

00:26:27.060 --> 00:26:27.600
 what Job

00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:28.380
 teaches us

00:26:28.380 --> 00:26:29.300
 is to trust

00:26:29.300 --> 00:26:29.860
 in God

00:26:29.860 --> 00:26:30.840
 that is in fact

00:26:30.840 --> 00:26:31.320
 what it means

00:26:31.320 --> 00:26:32.160
 to be wise

00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.240
 to go all the way

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:36.900
 up to the God

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:37.720
 who knows

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:39.600
 even when our

00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:40.480
 experience

00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:41.880
 doesn't

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.220
 in Philippians 4

00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:44.940
 Paul speaks

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:45.540
 of a peace

00:26:45.540 --> 00:26:46.279
 that transcends

00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:47.259
 all understanding

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:48.379
 it says this

00:26:48.379 --> 00:26:49.319
 rejoice in the Lord

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:49.819
 always

00:26:49.819 --> 00:26:50.559
 I'll say it again

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:51.039
 rejoice

00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:52.539
 let your gentleness

00:26:52.539 --> 00:26:53.039
 be evident

00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:53.440
 to all

00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:54.039
 the Lord

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:55.200
 is near

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.740
 do not be

00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:57.500
 anxious about

00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:57.859
 anything

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:58.579
 but in everything

00:26:58.579 --> 00:26:59.460
 by prayer and petition

00:26:59.460 --> 00:27:00.420
 with thanksgiving

00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:01.819
 present your request

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:02.299
 to God

00:27:02.299 --> 00:27:03.319
 and the peace

00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:03.920
 of God

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:05.319
 which transcends

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:06.799
 all understanding

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.539
 the peace

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:08.960
 of God

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:10.259
 which transcends

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:11.299
 your experience

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:12.440
 and your knowledge

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.180
 will guard

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:14.779
 your hearts

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.460
 and minds

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:17.279
 in Christ

00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:18.000
 Jesus

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:19.259
 you see

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:19.859
 what Paul is

00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:20.379
 talking about

00:27:20.379 --> 00:27:20.799
 there in

00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:21.419
 Philippians

00:27:21.419 --> 00:27:23.099
 is a state

00:27:23.099 --> 00:27:23.519
 of being

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:24.299
 reconciled

00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:24.919
 with God

00:27:24.919 --> 00:27:25.799
 through Jesus

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:27.359
 in such a way

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:28.240
 that we are

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.299
 more satisfied

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:30.480
 in him

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.659
 than in

00:27:31.659 --> 00:27:32.919
 any understanding

00:27:32.919 --> 00:27:33.759
 that we may

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.419
 have of our

00:27:34.419 --> 00:27:35.680
 passing circumstances

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:40.799
 why would we

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:41.740
 treasure Jesus

00:27:41.740 --> 00:27:43.240
 and rest in him

00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.080
 and the peace

00:27:44.080 --> 00:27:44.820
 that we have

00:27:44.820 --> 00:27:45.340
 in him

00:27:45.340 --> 00:27:47.480
 because he is

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:47.900
 near

00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.519
 this God

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.320
 is near

00:27:49.320 --> 00:27:50.680
 we see that

00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:51.799
 Job ultimately

00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:52.560
 looked to a

00:27:52.560 --> 00:27:52.980
 redeemer

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:53.980
 in chapter 19

00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:54.740
 he says this

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:55.759
 in chapter 19

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.660
 I know

00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:57.560
 that my redeemer

00:27:57.560 --> 00:27:58.279
 lives

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:59.940
 and that in the end

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:00.539
 he will stand

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:01.500
 upon the earth

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:03.840
 in Job chapter 19

00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:04.380
 he says

00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:05.440
 I am here

00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:06.279
 God is there

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:06.820
 and we need

00:28:06.820 --> 00:28:07.460
 someone in

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:08.380
 between us

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:09.980
 we need

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:10.539
 someone in

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:11.080
 between us

00:28:11.080 --> 00:28:11.799
 to help

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:13.640
 in the day

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:14.340
 of calamity

00:28:14.340 --> 00:28:15.860
 and he says

00:28:15.860 --> 00:28:16.920
 I know

00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:17.660
 that my

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:18.279
 redeemer

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.259
 is alive

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:20.900
 and in the end

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:21.660
 this redeemer

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:22.580
 will stand

00:28:22.580 --> 00:28:23.620
 upon the earth

00:28:23.620 --> 00:28:25.320
 and how did

00:28:25.320 --> 00:28:26.279
 Job's redeemer

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:27.019
 and our

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.500
 redeemer

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:28.059
 redeem

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:29.500
 by living

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:30.580
 more righteously

00:28:30.580 --> 00:28:31.340
 than Job

00:28:31.340 --> 00:28:32.039
 ever did

00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:33.180
 and suffering

00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:33.759
 more than

00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:34.920
 Job ever could

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.480
 and by

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:38.140
 taking upon

00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:38.480
 himself

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:39.480
 more suffering

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:39.960
 than he ever

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.340
 could

00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:41.940
 Job's

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.600
 patient

00:28:42.600 --> 00:28:43.340
 endurance

00:28:43.340 --> 00:28:44.240
 in suffering

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:45.140
 is meant

00:28:45.140 --> 00:28:45.860
 to point

00:28:45.860 --> 00:28:46.360
 us

00:28:46.360 --> 00:28:47.620
 to this

00:28:47.620 --> 00:28:48.180
 redeemer

00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:49.019
 this

00:28:49.019 --> 00:28:50.019
 Jesus on

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:50.519
 the cross

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:50.940
 where he

00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:51.539
 ultimately

00:28:51.539 --> 00:28:52.259
 defeated

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:52.900
 this work

00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:53.440
 of Satan

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.300
 where the

00:28:54.300 --> 00:28:54.940
 victory over

00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:55.340
 Satan

00:28:55.340 --> 00:28:56.840
 is finalized

00:28:56.840 --> 00:28:58.759
 he is the

00:28:58.759 --> 00:28:59.240
 one who

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.640
 can make

00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:00.180
 us stand

00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:00.620
 on the day

00:29:00.620 --> 00:29:01.200
 of calamity

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.759
 and so

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:02.259
 to be

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.880
 wise

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:03.759
 to live

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:04.220
 well in

00:29:04.220 --> 00:29:04.539
 God's

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:04.819
 world

00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:05.340
 is to

00:29:05.340 --> 00:29:05.980
 trust

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.620
 in the

00:29:06.620 --> 00:29:07.140
 sovereign

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:07.700
 goodness

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:08.360
 of God

00:29:08.360 --> 00:29:09.019
 and for

00:29:09.019 --> 00:29:09.340
 this

00:29:09.340 --> 00:29:09.759
 Jesus

00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:10.279
 to be

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.500
 your

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:10.980
 peace

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:11.740
 and your

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.279
 treasure

00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:13.200
 and your

00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:13.840
 joy

00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:14.600
 in the

00:29:14.600 --> 00:29:15.000
 day of

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:15.480
 calamity

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:16.279
 so no matter

00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:17.279
 what happens

00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:18.220
 I have

00:29:18.220 --> 00:29:19.100
 everything

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:20.639
 in Christ

00:29:20.639 --> 00:29:23.719
 even

00:29:23.719 --> 00:29:24.719
 if God

00:29:24.719 --> 00:29:25.399
 had in

00:29:25.399 --> 00:29:25.919
 fact let

00:29:25.919 --> 00:29:26.299
 Satan

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:27.119
 take

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.659
 Job's

00:29:27.659 --> 00:29:28.159
 life

00:29:28.159 --> 00:29:29.399
 I know

00:29:29.399 --> 00:29:29.919
 that Job

00:29:29.919 --> 00:29:30.299
 would have

00:29:30.299 --> 00:29:30.980
 said with

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.639
 the psalmist

00:29:31.639 --> 00:29:32.439
 in 63

00:29:32.439 --> 00:29:33.000
 3

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:34.859
 the steadfast

00:29:34.859 --> 00:29:35.679
 love of

00:29:35.679 --> 00:29:36.419
 the Lord

00:29:36.419 --> 00:29:37.719
 is better

00:29:37.719 --> 00:29:39.279
 than life

00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:45.639
 so when

00:29:45.639 --> 00:29:46.000
 your

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:47.079
 calamity

00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:47.799
 comes

00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:49.720
 may the

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:49.940
 Lord

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:50.379
 give you

00:29:50.379 --> 00:29:50.859
 the grace

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:51.200
 to be

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.799
 wise

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.779
 and live

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.220
 well

00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:56.059
 may he

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:56.480
 give you

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.039
 the grace

00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:57.659
 to affirm

00:29:57.659 --> 00:29:58.419
 the sovereignty

00:29:58.419 --> 00:29:59.339
 of God

00:29:59.339 --> 00:30:00.539
 may he

00:30:00.539 --> 00:30:01.299
 give you

00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:01.799
 the grace

00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:02.279
 to let

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:03.159
 your tears

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:04.139
 flow freely

00:30:04.139 --> 00:30:06.419
 and give

00:30:06.419 --> 00:30:07.059
 you the grace

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:07.419
 to let

00:30:07.419 --> 00:30:08.359
 Jesus himself

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:08.819
 be your

00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:09.220
 treasure

00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:09.859
 and your

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:10.279
 joy

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.779
 Amen
