  5. Why do the Righteous Suffer ? Job

  6. I. First Series of ControversyJob 4-14 Eliphaz: [4-5] Job you need to repent because you have sinned Job: [6-7] Knew he was not wicked and could not understand why he must suffer

  7. I. First Series of ControversyJob 4-14 Bildad: [8] God is just. Troubles indicates Job’s wickedness. • Job: [9-10]God sends punishment on the wicked and the righteous. • Job 9:22

  8. I. First Series of ControversyJob 4-14 Zophar: [11] Condemns Job for declaring his innocence. Job: [12-14]Job replies severely and asks them to leave him alone. Job 13:15 Job 14:1

  9. II. Second Series of ControversyJob 15-21 Eliphaz: [15] Accuses Job of vanity, saying no man is innocent. Job: [16-17]Job complains of their unjust reproaches. 16:2 “miserable comforters”

  10. II. Second Series of ControversyJob 15-21 Bildad: [18] Assumes Job’s wickedness and tells of doom of the wicked. Job: [19]Job appeals to the pity and generosity of his friends. “I know that my Redeemer lives” Job. 19:25

  11. II. Second Series of ControversyJob 15-21 Zophar: [20] Sets out the deplorable fate in store for the wicked. Job: [21]Job replies by saying that many wicked people are prosperous.

  12. III. Third Series of ControversyJob 22-31 Eliphaz: [22] He tells Job that he is wicked and treats the poor cruelly. Job: [23-24]Job says that he has obeyed the commands of God

  13. III. Third Series of ControversyJob 22-31 Bildad: [25] He says no man is without sin and this is the reason Job is suffering. Job: [26-31]Job gives a long reply giving a survey of his life and denies that he oppressed the poor.

  14. IV. Elihu’s Judgment of why Job was suffering Job 32-37 • Accused Job of justifying himself instead of God. • Said that God sends afflictions for a purpose. Suffering was to keep us from sin, not punishment for sinning

  15. V. The Mistakes of Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar and Elihu • First three thought all suffering was sent as punishment for sins • Job 4:7 John 9:1-2 • Stephen – Acts 7:59 Paul – 2 Cor. 12:7 • Jesus suffered ~ never sinned

  16. Many times we suffer because Of our sins. But every time we suffer it does not mean we have sinned ! God said that Job was blameless and upright. Sin was not the reason for his suffering.

  17. Elihu thought suffering was Sent to keep us from sinning • Not the complete truth (Heb. 12:6) • Some suffer because of sin If this was true then God would cause all to suffer so that we would not sin.

  18. VI. God’s Explanation Job 38-41 • Speaks out of a whirlwind • Smallness of man • Series of 60 questions to reveal that He was the Creator. Man with his limited knowledge ought not to expect to understand all the mysteries of creation.

  19. VII. Restoration of Job Job 42 • Job repents and bows down • Friends are severely reproved • Restored to his former state • Substance is doubled • More Children

  20. Why did Job Repent ? • Accused of sin – Job knew he had not sinned. Did not understand. • God humbles Job • In the presence of God Job seems vile and wicked.

  21. “Job died being old and full of days” Job. 42:17 • Seen life in all of its varieties • Knew worst and best of human life • Afflicted in property, family, body and soul. • “Yet he sinned not nor charged God foolishly.” Job. 1:22

  22. Lessons from Job We must learn to feel grief We can live on in spite of losses In this world no ultimate reward or punishment God’s ways are beyond our understanding

  23. Key word is TRIED “But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

  24. Basic Lesson Job by patient endurance, in the end comes to see God and is abundantly rewarded.

  25. Job 1:1 “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.”
