Job believed that a living redeemer would rescue him from death. This redeemer was Jesus, who as both fully God and fully human, redeemed humanity by suffering and dying on the cross in their place. The document explores different aspects of Jesus as redeemer, including that he lived a perfect life to be an example, willingly became a substitute for humanity by suffering our death on the cross, and experienced all human suffering and temptation. His death defeated Satan and exposed his lies about God's character, showing that God humbled himself to save sinners.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. Lesson 12 for December 17, 2016
Diadaptasi dari www.fustero.es
www.gmahktanjungpinang.org
“Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of
God, and afflicted.” (Isaiah 53:4)
2. At the end of Job’s story, God introduces Himself as the great Creator
and ends up with Job’s sorrow.
Nevertheless, the conflict between God and Satan that caused this
problem went unresolved.
However, Job foresaw the solution to that conflict. He understood
there’s only a solution for sin: a Redeemer.
3. THE LIVING REDEEMER
“I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he
will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been
destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.”
(Job 19:25-26 NIV)
Job fully believed that a living
redeemer will rescue him from death
in the future.
Nevertheless, he didn’t have to wait
long to see his Redeemer. He
introduced Himself as the Creator
(Job 38-41).
Redemption and Creation come together in Jesus
Christ: “In the beginning was the Word […] All
things were made through Him […] as many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to
become children of God.” (John 1:1-12).
The love of our Creator is wonderful, He gave His
own life to save His creatures from death!
4. “Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees? Are your days like
those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man?” (Job 10:4-5 NIV)
Job fully trusted his Creator
and Redeemer. Nevertheless,
God was in Heaven and he
was on Earth. God was free
of all suffering but he was
suffering.
“God cannot understand me
because He’s not a man! He
cannot suffer like we do!”
That complaint was solved in
Jesus: “So the Word became
human and made his home
among us.” (John 1:14 NLT).
God became fully human to
redeem us.
“For in that He Himself has suffered,
being tempted, He is able to aid those
who are tempted.” (Hebrews 2:18)
THE REDEEMER MADE MAN
5. THE EXEMPLARY REDEEMER
“He who says he abides in Him ought
himself also to walk just as He
walked.” (1 John 2:6)
The Redeemer suffered like we do
and He also lived a life like ours, but
He lived sinless.
Jesus is the only perfect example we
have in terms of how to live the kind
of life to which God calls us. That’s
why we are encouraged to imitate
him in every aspect.
Living a perfect life is not what made
Him our Redeemer. He can redeem us
because He decided to become our
Substitute.
He came to more than just being an
example and sympathizing with us. He
came to suffer our death.
6. THE CRUCIFIED REDEEMER
“And He began to teach them that the Son of Man MUST
SUFFER many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise
again.” (Mark 8:31)
The redemption plan always involved the
Messiah dying at the Cross. Jesus died
the eternal death in our place. HE MUST
DO IT.
Each one of us has been substituted by
the Lamb of God, like Isaac was
substituted by a lamb.
He came to offer “one sacrifice for sins
forever.” (Hebrews 10:12).
Everyone whose life “is hidden with
Christ in God” will not die forever
(Colossians 3:3).
Let’s accept that substitution and
cling to the crucified Redeemer by
faith.
7. THE SUFFERING REDEEMER
“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our
sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.” (Isaiah 53:4)
The story of Job introduces but
doesn’t solve the problem of
human suffering. Only Christ is
the solution for our problem;
He is the “man of sorrows.”
He carried the cross with all the
suffering of humanity. The suffering of
each human being.
No one can teach God anything about
suffering because He experienced all
our past, present and future suffering
as a human being.
The suffering of Jesus at the cross is
our hope when surrounded by pain and
sin; that’s the assurance of our
salvation.
8. “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler
of this world will be cast out.” (John 12:31)
Satan questioned God’s character. Job’s victory was just a small defeat for the
devil. Jesus defeated him completely. Satan’s lies were exposed.
Satan described God as a tyrannical and proud being. Nevertheless, God
humbled Himself to the point of death to save the sinners (Philippians 2:5-8).
And He wasn’t alone.
“God [the Father] was in Christ [the Son] reconciling the world to Himself”,
who “through the eternal Spirit [the Holy Spirit] offered Himself.” (2
Corinthians 5:19; Hebrews 9:14).
The divine/human Jesus overcame for us. By faith we can have the assurance
of eternal life in Jesus.
