Radical Disciple - Job 2
The Book of Job is set against the backdrop of the post-Exilic Jewish community, a community that had lost everything—the land, the Temple, their homes, and many loved ones. In the face of these losses, they were tempted to reject God. Job was written, in part, to address the socioeconomic injustices experienced by both righteous Jews and by those under Persian colonial rule during this period.
The Book of Job speaks not only to individual suffering but also portrays Job as a representative figure, illustrating how the larger community is called to respond to collective loss.
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary this Sunday, we are reminded of our role as a faith community—to support one another and our local community in times of need. This will be a time to reflect on who we are and the mission God has entrusted to us.
