Job: The Suffering of the Innocent || Fear, Terror, and Beauty: When God Appears
Sunday, October 17, 2021
Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol
After 29 chapters of debate and complaints from Job and his friends, God finally responds. The response is not a set of carefully prepared answers to Job's long list of questions. Rather, God responds by asking Job a series of questions: Who are you? Where were you? What do you know? Can you? How would we respond if God showed up in worship and asked the questions of us? Would we be reminded of how extraordinary and powerful God is and how small and powerless we are in comparison? How might such a shift influence how we respond to all that happens to us and around us?
