Job expressed the universal need of mankind when he cried:“For [God] is not a [mere] man, as I am, that I should answer Him, that we should come together in court.

He knew that no ordinary man could do this as they would need a days-man of their own. All are guilty and condemned before a holy and righteous Judge.
