    Job cried out for a "daysman" in his great distress but determined there was none. Christians have a great "Daysman" to advocate our cause before the Father.

Neither is there a Daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.” Job 9:32-33 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus, ...read more
