Summary

Many people say, “I want to meet God. I want to have an encounter.” But the way Job gets to an encounter with God is through absolutely horrible suffering. Job is a book for adults. It’s not easy. It’s certainly not sugarcoated. When God shows up, it’s not a Hallmark-card, folded-hands, rays-of-light-coming-through-the-stained-glass-window kind of religion. Oh no, not at all. Let’s look at the story of Job, and then let’s look at what it teaches about what it means to know God. It shows us 1) the philosophical lesson, 2) the foundational lessons, and 3) the practical lesson. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 15, 1996. Series: Daring to Draw Near. Scripture: Job 42:1-10.

0:23.7	No plan of yours can be thwarted.
0:26.6	You asked, who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?
0:31.1	Surely, I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
0:36.5	You said, listen now, and I will speak.
0:38.8	I will question you, and you shall answer me.
0:42.0	My ears have heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.
0:45.6	Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.
0:50.5	And after the Lord had said these things to Job, He said to Ella Faz, I am angry with you
0:55.7	and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right as my servant Job has.
0:59.8	So now, take seven bulls, seven rams, go to my servant Job, sacrifice a burn offering for

1:10.2	with you according to your folly.
1:12.6	You have not spoken of me what is right as my servant Job has.
1:17.2	So Ella Faz, Bill Dad, and Zofar did what the Lord told them and the Lord accepted Job's
