• Throughout Job's experience of suffering, he becomes a vehicle for all to learn about the character of God and His purposes for mankind. Chapter 3 depicts Job's experience of self-pity, questioning his birth and experience of life. Job must work out his solution to his situation without recourse to life after death. Chapters 6-7 depicts Job's cry of innocence in response to his suffering. Chapter 14 describes Job's growing awareness of the brevity of life. Finally, within chapter 16, Job develops a new understanding of life and God. Feeling the rejection of mankind and the apparent unjust suffering, Job turns back to God as vindicator in heaven. Based upon Job's experience, we can learn that the innocent can suffer. Secondly, we can learn of the logical yearning inherent within men of life after death. For us today, we can find comfort in a future resurrection based upon God's revealed will. Finally, God is trustworthy as vindicator.
