The Deep Things of God

Zophar is the third of Job's friends to take up his discourse with him concerning the sin which he has supposedly committed. It is Job's friend's belief that there is some great sin or hypocrisy, unconfessed in his heart, which has brought him into God's disfavor. All of his good defense of himself and his integrity, his friends have not believed. And sadly, we find, that as they continue on, trying to comment on what has happened to him, that they are more zealous to prove that he must have done something wrong, than they are to listen carefully to his defense of himself.
If only they would have prayed and sympathized with him. If they had only tried to think of ways in which they might might have encouraged their friend in his trial, they would have done much better. However, remembering that all scripture is inspired by God, and it is profitable for our instruction, let me present to you 3 truths which Zophar sets forth here, which we can, and should, relate to what Christ has done for us in procuring our great salvation. .
