Old Testament (1214)
  1. Job as a type of Christ.
  2. Abraham had a daring confidence that God would reveal a saving work to him on that mountain.
  3. We are the fruit that grows from the branch, which extends from the trunk of the tree, which is rooted in the soil that it grows out of, which is all Christ.
  4. At the Transfiguration, we say farewell to alleluia and hello to the horrific reality of our lost condition.
  5. Before we set out for that Lenten journey, though, we meet with God on many mountains with Elijah and Moses, and through the same number of valleys with them as well.
  6. The slandering of Job.
  7. Jesus is the very incarnation of the comfort Isaiah speaks of. He is the Word of God shining in a weary and dark world.
  8. In the Word, you find peace. It proclaims peace first between you and God because of Jesus. That empowers you to deal peacefully with others and brings you peace of mind.
  9. But the wicked do prosper.
  10. Moses cannot do what needs to be done for Israel much less for himself. We need a prophet greater than Moses, since even Moses needs a savior for himself.
  11. Job’s redeemer lives.
  12. In Epiphany, we witness this man and the miracles and ask: “Who is He?” Subsequently, in wonder and awe we might reply together with our Jonah reading: “Who knows?”
