Top Highlights
“More often than not, our suffering is self-inflicted by our own sin. If Satan had found sin in Job as a weapon to be used, there would have been no Book of Job.” (Page 40)
“A conundrum begins to clear. ‘Why,’ we ask, ‘does God speak to Job without answering any of his questions?’ The answer is that Job is casting a dark shadow between his mind and God’s mind with the why of ethical questions about his suffering, which the human mind cannot comprehend or understand. We lack the perspective of God’s view in creating the universe, controlling its forces, and caring about its creatures. Job needs to learn that the issue is not ethical, the question is not why, and the need is not understanding. The issue is spiritual, the question is who, and the need is trust.” (Page 278)
“On a day of calamity when Satan has wiped out all that he has on earth, beginning with his prized oxen and ending with his beloved children, Job ‘worshiped’ God and thanked Him for his blessings. Tragedy reveals the inner spirit of the man.” (Page 41)
“envy the discipline that guides Job’s conduct without the” (Page 30)
“God does not accept Satan’s terms that He stretch His hand over Job and ‘touch all that he has.’ God does not do evil. Rather, He draws the boundaries within which evil may work in the world. To some, this is a contradiction because it implies that God could eliminate evil if He chose. Does this make Him a partner in sin? Again, we are forced back to the fundamental fact that God has chosen to give man his freedom with the risk of a decision that brings sin and its consequences upon His creatures and His creation. To preserve that choice, God permits evil within limits, until the great and terrible day of judgment when the earth will forever be freed from its suffering. This is good news, even for those of us who live with the reality of sin and its consequences.” (Pages 38–39)
