Episode 23: The Book of Job (Elihu, God, Job, and Grace upon Grace)

In this episode, Ian and Wyatt talk about Elihu, Job, and God (Job 29–42). Elihu speaks better than Job’s three friends, not quite as good as Job, and definitely not as well as God. In the end, the key issue is knowledge of God. Job cannot give his case to God simply because God is too immense. At the same time, God agrees with Job that he is innocent of the charges made against him. He vindicates Job and blesses him double-fold. This blessing shows a pattern that God will richly implement when the Word of God becomes flesh, so that we know God and enjoy his blessing in a fulsome way.
