Discipleship Focus: King
- King: This is the pinnacle of the Kingdom Triangle. When we look towards God’s position in the universe, we acknowledge that He is an omnipotent king. Authority comes from Him. Power comes through His authority. He is looking for representatives for His kingdom.
What a
great chapter of Job! And no, before you
ask, it isn’t because it is so short. Neither
is it because this is the last of the replies of Job’s friends that we have in
this book. What we have here in these
verses is a simplistic perspective on humanity.
We are
not righteous. We will never compare to
God. We pale in comparison to the great
Almighty. We’re not God, and we never
will be.
You see,
God is king of the universe. He set it
into motion. He made it out of
nothing. He hung the stars in the
sky. He shaped the image of man in His
own image. He is the king.
However,
there’s an incredible message here.
While He may be king, He wants relationship with us. While He may be king, He wants to know us
intimately. He’s not some great and far
off king. He’s a king that doesn’t care
about our inability to compare to Him.
He lends us His righteousness. He
gives us a promise of a better life in the eternal.
Ultimately,
Bildad is right on the surface but wrong where it counts. We’ll never match up to God. That much is true. But that doesn’t matter to God. God lends us His righteousness and desires
relationship with us anyways. God is an
amazing king.
