Jesus is the only true mediator between man and God!

8/12/2019

“For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together. Nor is there any mediator between us, Who may lay his hand on us both.” Job 9:32-33 NKJV

The bible tells us God created the heavens and the earth.

Scientists in different disciplines tell us the cosmos evolved over billions of years. The earth sun and moon were formed out of the void. How exactly did that happen? How long did it really take? Maybe that is a question best answered by fools.

Professing to be wise they became fools. Romans 1:22.

God’s wrath will be poured out on the unrighteous. Unrighteous people refuse to accept the One True God is sovereign over creation. They refuse to accept Jesus as Lord of all!

God’s is revealed through His creation. Some people are too educated and wise in their own eyes to recognize the truth any fool can understand. God created the heavens and the earth. The God of the bible rules over them in righteousness, justice and holiness!

God is a being unlike any other. He is perfect in every way!

People wise in their own eyes become fools when they devise philosophies and theories to oppose God’s authority over creation!

Job was angry with God. He would have sued God if there was a court where he could plead his case. There was nowhere for Job to turn except to God.

Job did not stay angry at God. He fought through the pain and anguish. He remembered God is holy and righteous. He remembered God is just. Job remembered God is good all the time. Job remembered God loved Him!

It is not unusual for people to be angry at God. It takes a measure of faith to be angry at the Lord. We would not get angry at God if we did not believe our fate is in His hands. We would not be angry at God if we did not believe He could change our circumstances.

We may get angry when we lose people we love. We may feel angry when we suffer hardship and pain. We may be angry when we feel abandoned and betrayed. We may lash out if we think God no longer cares about us. God is not surprised by our feelings and emotions. He gave them to us!

We have a mediator we can turn to. His name is Jesus. He will always be a man. He has always been God. Jesus knows pain and suffering. He knows the heartache of betrayal and abandonment. Jesus is at the right hand of God the Father praying for us right now!

Jesus has not gone away and left you to yourself. Jesus is close enough to hear the cry of your heart. Call out to Jesus when you need Him. Jesus will extend His hand of mercy and grace towards you and reach out to His Father on your behalf!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus is the only true mediator between man and God!
