1) The key to following the Jobinian adventure is understanding these four things. 1) Job was clueless. 2) Job did not curse God. 3) Job failed to justify God, but he justified himself. And 4) The trials of chapters one and two are OVER at the beginning of chapter three. The contest had come to a close. 2) “What I have feared has come upon me.” This did not come to Job because he thought about it or because he confessed it. It’s just not correct teaching. This came about at a cosmic conflict beyond Job being the source of the origin. But it did involve his participation. Just like it does for you and me. 3) Eliphaz replies to Job. There does come the time for words. And, of course, our words should speak life, not death. But let’s be clear. When Jesus spoke, He didn’t just speak theology. He expressed love, caring, and compassion. Being theologically correct in a lousy life moment is not a win for anyone and anything but our own pride. Ouch.
