Job 3 is one of the darkest chapters in all of scripture. In it we hear the heart cry of a man in deep, deep suffering and, unusually, it ends without even a word of hope. Yet Job is not suffering for any sin or action of his own, indeed he is called 'blameless and upright' by God Himself. As with every chapter in scripture, Job 3 is useful for tea…

We sometime sing "You give and take away. You give and take away. My heart will choose to say, 'Lord Blessed be your name.'"

Job's theology, his fa…

The mandate given to us by God at Creation has not been revoked because of sin, but it has surely been made more difficult to fulfil.

"After three days, I will rise again". These words of Jesus ring in the ears of the priests and Pharisees. To their understanding, these words represent Jesus' last deception.
