Listen Later

Episode Summary:

In Job 15–16, Eliphaz accuses Job again, but Job responds with honesty and hope, declaring that his “Advocate is in heaven.” This episode explores the comfort of knowing that, even when others misunderstand us, Jesus intercedes for us with perfect compassion.

Key Highlights from the Episode:

Overview of the Passage:

Eliphaz argues that Job’s suffering must come from sin. Job laments his pain and the cruelty of his friends but turns his eyes heavenward, expressing hope in a heavenly Advocate.

Key Themes or Lessons:

  • God’s understanding is deeper than human judgment.

  • Jesus is the ultimate Advocate who intercedes for us.

  • True comfort comes from compassion, not correction.

    • Devotional Application:

    Job’s cry reminds us that we don’t need to be understood by everyone—just by God. In our deepest sorrow, His intercession and love remain constant.

    Reflection Prompts:

    1. When have you felt misunderstood in your pain, and how did God comfort you?

    2. How does knowing that Jesus intercedes for you change how you face trials?

    3. How can you reflect Christ’s empathy to someone walking through hardship this week?

      4. Closing Encouragement:

      Job’s words remind us that when the world misunderstands us, heaven doesn’t. Our Savior is our Advocate, our Comforter, and our Defender. Every tear you shed is seen by the God who loves you—and He will one day wipe them all away.
