Scripture –
Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped.
He said,
"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."
Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God.
Job 1: 20-22
Al llegar a este punto, Job se levantó, se rasgó las vestiduras, se rasuró la cabeza, y luego
se dejó caer al suelo en actitud de adoración. Entonces dijo:
«Desnudo salí del vientre de mi madre,
y desnudo he de partir.
El Señor ha dado; el Señor ha quitado.
¡Bendito sea el *nombre del Señor!»
A pesar de todo esto, Job no pecó ni le echó la culpa a Dios.

Scripture –
Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem. As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process.

Scripture –
Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy house of worship,
praise him under the open skies;
Praise him for his acts of power,
praise him for his magnificent greatness;
Praise with a blast on the trumpet,
praise by strumming soft strings;
Praise him with castanets and dance,
praise him with banjo and flute;
Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum,
praise him with fiddles and mandolin.
Let every living, breathing creature praise God!
Hallelujah!
