Job 1:9-12 ESV
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.” 12 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
Jesus emptied Himself to take on the form of man, placing Himself in the dominion of Satan. The book of Job speaks to us of what Jesus encountered and our condition.
God has placed us here, and Jesus told us to bear our cross as we follow Him. The Son learned obedience and shows us the way.
