The Message of the Gospel
(Interview begins at 13:08) Struggling to reconcile God’s righteousness with his tormented condition, Job wanted a mediator. As we read the book of Job today, we have the advantage of seeing what Job could not see: the spiritual challenge that took place in the heavenly realm.

I lost my son to an addiction and searched for answers. Somehow it felt like I could fix it if I only knew how this could have happened. I read Job and sermons on Job and it did help. I am glad we have Job to study. Now eight years out i still struggle with the whys and reasons but not as intensely. In the end there really are no answers that God speaks up and says to me, this is why. I have found no peace there. I have learned to rest in God’s love, with God as my father. Ive learned so much about obeying God, learning about Him, trusting Him. If I did anything to contribute to my son’s addiction, it doesnt help in any way to agonize over it. Giving my grief to God is my silver lining in my suffering. Some days i just must trust and believe no matter how I am feeling. God all through the bible has made good things out of bad situations and I pray the same will happen for us. People tell me I am a strong person but it is only because I stand on God’s word. I could not survive this any other way. ♥️🙏
Another thing Job did not have, the Holy Spirit living inside.
Thank you for the article, we have so much more insight than what Job had, yet at times I try to defend myself when I should have more faith in the one who does all things well.
