32“He (GOD) is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him,
that we might confront each other in court.
33If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together,
34someone to remove God’s rod from me,
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
35Then I would speak up without fear of him,
but as it now stands with me, I cannot.
Job speaks these words and yet today I can say that God answered this prayer, not just for Job but for all mankind. God sent Jesus the one who can and does arbitrate between God and us. Jesus is the one who gives us the freedom to speak up to God without fear. In fact, we are given in Christ the privilege to cry out Father to the God of the universe.
