Job and his Comforters

Job and his Comforters

I believe Job is the book of our time. Here’s some things to learn from Job:

  1. He never found out why he suffered as he did.
  2. His questions were answered with bigger questions.
  3. His friends had all the answers… your typically theologically correct ones.
  4. Job’s suffering is explained as a meaningless bet between God and Satan.
  5. Satan lost. But so did Job.
  6. Most often it is better to be silent than to be right.
  7. The meaning of suffering is hidden from us.
  8. Don’t be surprised when you are suffering if you are either attacked or abandoned.
  9. Our minds crave answers. Job finds peace beyond answers.
  10. All is mystery.
