Knowledge without Wisdom (Job 2:11 - 7:21)


Listen Later

Job is a very difficult book for many Christians to understand. In this sermon, we will give an answer for this, as we introduce Eliphaz, a man who says many true things about God. He actually quotes things that are so true of God that they are found all throughout the Scriptures - the knowledge he gives Job in his time of suffering regarding God, but in the end God rebukes Eliphaz and Job's two other friends because he has not spoken truthfully of Him. And the reason that Eliphaz falls into this dilemma and gets in trouble with God is because he has knowledge of God without wisdom. It is not enough to say many true things about God when they are out of context in regard to a situation. When we do this, it actually makes God out to be confusing and unintelligible when we quote a whole lot of random things of God, and then expect people to make sense of it. Today, we will make sense of it in the hope of actually being able to help others who may be in times of testing and struggle in their own lives; that we can present God as consistent and coherent in our attempt to love others who are in a difficult situation like Job. We pray that this sermon would be a blessing for you.
