Jesus didn’t come to earth to save us by showing us how to be good people. He came to earth to die for us as a propitiatory sacrifice because there is no one good, no not one

Job down, on to Psalms!
Esther down, on to Job!
I’ve actually read Job in one sitting several times before.

Job is an amazing book of the Bible, but it requires understanding, because I have seen people quote Job’s friends as if they were speaking wisdom when the whole point is that they weren’t.
Job is a masterclass in how NOT to comfort someone who is grieving.

But God is good whether I acknowledge His goodness or not. He’s good even if He chooses to strike me down for His own purposes. He’s good even if that statement offends you. He owes us nothing, and yet He gave His own Son to die for us so that we might live.

The other thing about pain and morality is that pain seems immoral when you see this life as all there is. If you believe that you will spend eternity in heaven with God, these proving grounds quickly fall into perspective. This is all but a passing moment. Take heart.

Job 19:23 “Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were recorded in a book!”
So, I have some great news for you, Job. Are you sitting down?
