12. Elihu's Reproof of Job

Job 34:5-6 "For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression."

This sermon from American Pastor J.D. Montieth highlights the most foundational and important lessons in life from the oldest book in the Bible, the Book of Job. This sermon, the twelfth in the series on the Book of Job, Elihu's Reproof of Job, continues to chronicle Elihu's response to Job: "By acknowledging his Creator, Elihu
revealed he knew the Lord as the true source of his life. “As a man; so every man is made by God, and not by  himself.” If men know themselves as made by God, and not gods themselves, they will pity the transgressor and not harshly judge him. Elihu rightfully places himself on the same natural and human level as Job, in an attempt to help him realize that it was not human pride that was leading his correction. Where Elihu did distinguish
himself from Job, is by his possessing and obeying the Spirit of God within him. Elihu would speak through being inspired by the Spirit of God, and his spiritual humility here proves that he is worthy of the task. What Elihu speaks as true of himself is true of all mankind. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture (Ps. 100:3).

This sermon was preached in the In the Mouth of Two or Three Witnesses series. Other sections of Scriptures highlighted in this sermon: Job 34:5-35.
