If anyone could object to God because of evil and suffering it was Job. In a single day he not only lost his possessions, but his honor, dignity, and children. Friends came to comfort but were of no help – how would God vindicate Job? How would God make sense of Job’s suffering? Why did God let such evil come upon a “blameless, righteous man?” Pain, evil, and suffering prompt the same questions in our own hearts. As we shall see, our God does not shy away from this subject. He enters into it.
