A listener recently asked about the problem of evil: why does a good God allow good people to suffer, and conversely, why do evil people prosper.? One of the best answers to this set of questions is the one found in the Book of Job. Job is part of the Wisdom Literature found in the Hebrew Bible. In it, we see Job, a man we know to be just and godly because the author has told us this about him in the book's opening paragraphs. But Satan (the accuser) asks God if Job is good because he loves God or because of what God has given him. God believes in Job, and to prove a point, takes away Job's wealth, family, and health and leaves him with nothing but his question:: Why? The answer God ultimately gives Job is also essential to us as we struggle with the problem of evil in our own time.
