Job & Our Response to Suffering

RC Sproul on The Book of Job: Why Do the Righteous Suffer?

"What is noteworthy in this drama, is that God never directly answers Job’s questions. He doesn’t say, “Job, the reason you have suffered is for this or for that.” Rather, what God does in the mystery of the iniquity of such profound suffering, is that He answers Job with Himself. This is the wisdom that answers the question of suffering – not the answer to why I have to suffer in a particular way, in a particular time, and in a particular circumstance, but wherein does my hope rest in the midst of suffering. "

When suffering comes through pursecution, disease, tradgedy, or whatever means my prayer is that I will cling to Christ and to God like this article. I need truth, and texts to have any fighting chance to do this by the Spirit.

Death is Gain and now to live is Christ!
