"If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him; Then [God] is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom." — Job 33:23-24 (ASV)
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand to show unto man his uprightness: Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
Oh, what precious words! There is One with God, One of a thousand, the Chief among ten thousand, the Messenger of the covenant, the Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.
When he comes in, and makes man see God's wondrous mingling of justice and mercy, then God turns in infinite grace upon the starving, dying sinner, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
