A Mediator, One of a Thousand

Elihu is speaking to Job, following Job's three friend's addresses to him. They had ceased answering Job when it became apparent to them that he was trying too hard to justify himself. When Elihu began his discourse, his anger was aroused, it says in chapter 32, verse 2, because Job in his speeches had justified himself rather than God. And so now Elihu is going to show Job in the remainder of this chapter why it was that he needed a Mediator. This Mediator that Elihu is speaking about, one among a thousand, is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us consider then, 1st of all – That this Mediator, our Lord Jesus Christ, is needed so that men might not go down to the Pit. (verses 19-24, and verses 28 & 30) 2nd – This Mediator is needed in order that man can be restored to His (that is, God's) righteousness. (verses 26 & 27) And 3rd – This Mediator is need in order that our souls will continue to be enlightened with the light of life, all through our Christian life.
