“Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? ” [Job 40:2(RAV)]
February 28
“Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? “. Some attempt to bring the Sovereign Lord down to our level, both in our address and our attitude. It is a familiarity that can breed contention if not contempt.
The mistake can arise from the fact that Jesus mingled and ate and drank with the common people of His day. But while He was one with them He was never one of them. He was separate from sinners. Rather than treat Him as a mere man, both disciples and multitude marvelled at His words and were awed by His Person. His enemies who sought to correct Him found themselves corrected. We may not understand His way with us, but we must understand He makes no mistakes.
I reach His throne through the merit of His Son, Jesus: I may talk with Him, but in no way can I correct Him.
