Bill Johnson - What about Job?
…Whatever you think you know about God that can’t be
found in the person of Jesus, you have reason to question. Jesus illustrates
the Father perfectly. The Old Testament cannot be given the authority to trump
the person of Jesus and what is revealed in the nature and the heart of God in
that revelation. And so I get fascinated with Jesus as He modeled life for us.
He wasn’t just a parenthesis. He wasn’t just a comma. You know, people ask me
questions, “Well, what about Job?” when I teach on certain subjects and my
response is, “I’m not a disciple of Job. I’m a disciple of Jesus. Job is the
question. Jesus is the answer.” You know, the Old Testament is filled with
questions, not conclusions. The conclusions come in the person of Jesus - the
One who perfectly illustrates and manifests the nature of the Father. And since
He’s better than we think, we need to change the way we think.1
