Bern Leckie and Owen Lynch share thoughts and feelings about the book of Job.
In lots of ways, this is a puzzling story that might seem not to fit well into the Bible - although that might depend on how we read the rest of the Bible. If we think it has given us explanations of why things work and rules we can follow with predictable results, we might be a bit like Job’s friends when we think someone needs our help or advice.
The challenge of Job’s story is that they are not as wise as they thought, and that we can’t always get answers to “why” questions or explain difficult situations.
But the encouragement seems to be that God offers a different path to life through being open to experiences that surpass our understanding, growing relationships and trust, and discovering that life-supporting wisdom is not always the same as life-explaining knowledge.
The next part of our boxset will look at the book of Joshua. Listen along at your own pace at severnvineyard.org/bible.
