Day 146: March 10, 2026 – Job 15-17 and Romans 11-13

We find Job defends himself this time not in a conversation with God, but rather with a conversation with his friends, telling them that he too could accuse them and show them how bad they are if they were in his position. But he insists that they do not know him and that he is innocent of what they accuse him of: inevitable sin as a result of the life in which he is currently living. He must not have been involved in clean living since he is in the current state the he finds himself.

Romans gives us again some great theological truths. Chapter 12, especially from verses 9-21 contain some of the verses that I try to point to when I am preaching. It even includes the words that I use in the benediction: return no one evil for evil. Paul understands that the way to salvation has been opened by the disobedience of Israel, but it also remains open for the people of Israel as well as the gentiles, that would be us.
