The Church at Study 9.15 a.m. December 24, 2016 The Character of Job Memory Text: Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? {James 2:22, NKJV} Song Service Welcome/Opening Remarks Mission Emphasis Lesson Study Closing Remarks Character is both developed and revealed over time. Often in our world of tweets and soundbites, it s easy to make snap judgements about people based on a single incident. The true measure of a person s character is much more complex, however, than what we see in a single moment. It s easy to base our assessment of Job s character on what we see in a single snippet of Scripture, depending on where we pick up his story. Early in the book we see an apparently flawless man. Later we see Job the complainer. Who is he really? Our lesson this week looks at a fuller picture of Job s character than what we can discern in a single passage. God knew enough about Job s character early on to trust that Job would withstand Satan s attacks. Through the story we see Job s character develop as he faces trials that would devastate others. Ultimately, we have seen Job s character strengthen as he trusts God through confounding circumstances. His illustration of character development becomes a model for us today summed up in this quote from Desire of Ages: The very image of God is to be reproduced in humanity. The honor of God, the honor of Christ, is involved in the perfection of the character of His people. In Job s story we see that Christ-like character is both developed and revealed over time. {Center for Creative Ministries} Sunset TODAY: 5:20 p.m. Sunset Next Friday: 5:24 p.m.
