Bible Question:
how would you explain Jobs friends and what they said to Job.I will be explaining it to 9 year old kids this sunday. God bless;Mainzy |
Bible Answer: Dear Mainzy, I am not sure if I can help you. I am pleased to offer what I have learnt (in general) concerning Job's friends after my reading of the book. 1/ Job's friends were very sincere (comparing to nowadays people) to Job. (Job 2:11-13) 2/ They were self-righteous (see their conversation with Job). By that, even their motives were to help Job, but just brought more pains and hurts to him. Proverb 25:11 Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances. 3/ They misinterpreted or did not understand God. That is a sin. (Job 42:7) Hope the above is helpful when you try your way to help the kids. Shalom Azure |
