• In Job 38-39, God challenges Job's perspective over life, creation, and God's sovereignty. Following this challenge, Job passes from an egocentric view of the world to a God-centred view of the world. In chapter 40, God deals with Job's assumption about God's unjust rule. Attempting to justify himself, Job has put God in the wrong. The description of the Behemoth and Leviathan (40-41) demonstrates the difference between Job and his Creator. Job's assumption regarding his suffering has made him conclude that such experiences are evidence of a separated relationship with God. Job's response represents repentance from his subsequent arguments made concerning God's sovereignty and control. Job responds to the person of God. The ultimate conclusion of the book is that a man can only discover the meaning of his suffering in the context of a total surrendering to God. Similar to Job's experience of God's personal revelation, we today have the revelation of God Himself through the person of Jesus. We can be certain about who God is like. Through Jesus' suffering, Believers can understand that God works through suffering for the good of Believers.
