Bobbie Frere | Job 9:1-24, 32-35
Then Job replied:
‘Indeed, I know that this is true.
But how can mere mortals prove their innocence before God?
Though they wished to dispute with him,
they could not answer him once in a thousand times.
His wisdom is profound, his power is vast.
Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? ...
How then can I dispute with him?
How can I find words to argue with him? ...
Even if I summoned him and he responded,
I do not believe he would give me a hearing.’
In response to Job's suffering, his 'comforters' hold to their packaged theology while his wife urges him to turn against God. Yet, as Bobbie explains, Job continues to take his complaint to God, believing that he alone has the answers. Where do we turn when we are confronted by suffering and injustice in the world?
The recording begins with the reading from John Davies. In addition to this passage, the sermon is based on the whole of chapters 4 to 27. Also, earlier in the service, the whole congregation read Psalm 84 together.
