GOD IS IN CONTROL

"Naked came I out of my mother's womb,
and naked shall I return thither: the
LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away;
blessed be the name of the Lord" (Job 1:21).

DIFFICULT QUESTIONS ARE RAISED BY THE SOVEREIGN
OUTWORKING OF GOD'S WILL IN THE WORLD

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE

"What? shall we receive good at the hand
of God, and shall we not receive evil? In
all this did not Job sin with his lips" (Job 2:10).

JOB KEPT HIS INTEGRITY . . . UNTIL . . .


THE BOOK OF JOB

Job is an Old Testament book that most interpret as addressing the perplexing question of why the righteous suffer. This conclusion probably comes from the fact that the heart of the book, Chapter 3-37, contains Job’s three friends and the mysterious Elihu debating Job’s wretched conditions. What did Job do to deserve such treatment by a righteous God?

The telling of Job’s story has in it the story of every man. In fact, the sequence of events may contain the mystery of life, even though the players in the story are unaware of what is at work beneath the surface. They are concerned with the obvious, why is Job suffering. The answer to that question is never given other than God is completely moral and man can never completely understand how this moral law is achieved. There is more to the story than the question of why bad things happen to good people.

The underlying theme of the book seems to deal with the concept of evil. How does evil occur in a perfectly good world? The storyline of the book does not follow the events of what has happened to Job (the debate over why the righteous suffer) but rather the reactions of Job to these calamities and the following debates.

The adversities of Job actually seem to be a part of the human dilemma. Man has the treasure of life (incorruptible, immortal, glorious, and powerful) in an earthen vessel (corruptible, mortal, infamy, and weak). How does man fall (the inception of evil) from the lofty state of the good life?
