Naked

Job 5 and Luke 23:32-39

I have been writing my Sunday school lesson since early morning.  It’s titled: “He (Jesus) Offers Salvation: Believe”.  The theme is to help us to express our faith in Christ.  In Job we find one of the greatest expressions of faith.  After learning of all that has gone wrong, Job says this;

“Naked I came from my

       mother’s womb,

And naked I shall return

       there.

The Lord gave and the Lord

       has taken away.

Blessed be the name of the

       Lord.”

I saw my son Aaron come into the world and he was naked.  I saw my Dad on the mortician’s table leaving this world and he was naked.  That’s how we all came and that’s how we’re all going. 

What is our only expression of faith?

“Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
