A Son for Glory: Job Through New Eyes - Toby J. Sumpter

Descriere A Son for Glory: Job Through New Eyes - Toby J. Sumpter

\n \nBible-reading is more of an art than a science. The Bible is a story, not a lexicon of systematic theological definitions. With this in mind, the Through New Eyes Bible Commentary Series builds on the foundational Biblical-theology work of James B. Jordan and other like-minded scholars in bringing you a set of commentaries that will help you read, teach and preach through the Bible while picking up on the rich symphonic themes and the literary symbolism of the Scriptures. Because they are written for thoughtful Christians without being overly academic, these commentaries will serve as valuable resources for family worship, Sunday school or Bible studies.\n \n \n\n \nFrom Inside the Book: \n \n \n\n \nGod says, 'This is my son, Job, have you considered him?' God's love for Job draws Job into his presence, He wants Job to pass back through the cherubim into his presence. When God loves his people, he wants them with him. Notice the parallel here with Jesus. As soon as God says, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased' at Jesus' baptism, what happens? The Spirit drives him into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil....When God gets excited about his sons, he wants to send them into battle. He sends his sons into the fray. 'This is my son!' he announces proudly, and then he sends him to face Satan. 'This is my son!' and he sends him to battle demons....He takes his sons, pours his Spirit upon them, and draws them to himself through the sword and fire. That is what Job is doing with his sons, and that is what God is doing with his servant, his beloved son, Job.\n
