Download Lesson: 2.15.26 Class Notes – Job 1

LOOK:

Chapter 1 of Job is raw and unsettling. It doesn’t give neat answers, but rather reshapes how we think about God, suffering, and faith. We need to embrace that a righteous life is not a shield against suffering. We need to let go of the idea that “doing right” ensures comfort. Moreover, we need to stop interpreting automatically that hardship is God’s punishment of us. Job is never told “why” he incurred all of his losses, and we won’t know the “why” behind our own suffering.
