Episode Synopsis

In his commentary on Job, Peter Kreeft writes, “It is universally recognized that Job is one of the greatest books ever written: a masterpiece, an all-time classic. To the sensitive reader, it is real magic. It is terrifying and beautiful, beautifully terrifying and terrifyingly beautiful. It is fascinating, haunting, teasingly mysterious, tender, and yet powerful as a sledgehammer… Though bottomlessly mysterious, it is also simple and obvious in its ‘main lesson…’” I wouldn’t be surprised if your experience this week with the book of Job was a little more difficult, even confusing, than Kreeft’s. That’s OK. This Sunday we’ll consider the book together, seek to understand its main lesson, and hope to leave a little wiser so that we can face suffering as Christians.Pastor Josh
