1 CHAPTER 23 SUFFERING, DIVINE PROVIDENCE AND THE BIBLE
2 What is divine providence? Providence refers to God s involvement in superintending, governing, guiding, direc6ng, and caring for the universe and the people living in it. How do you view God s providence?
3 Some Chris6ans believe that everything that happens in this world happens according to God s will. God is a micro-manager. How do you like this view? Where does free will fit into this view?
4 Other Chris6ans believe that God created everything, then stepped back leaving us on our own, offering no help. God is the absentee landlord. How do you like this view? What kind of view might be midway between these two extremes?
5 At one point in history, nearly everything that could not otherwise be explained was afributed to God. Where do you see this in the Old Testament?
6 The Biblical view of God s providence was shaped by what the biblical authors could know at that 6me. Read Deuteronomy 7:12-15 They assumed that if you were faithful to God, God would reward you with blessings and if you were unfaithful to God, God you would be punished. Read Deuteronomy 30:17-18 In your own life, is this how you have experienced God?
7 Later people began to no6ce this view wasn t what they experienced in real life. Read Jeremiah 12:1 Has It been your experience that somezmes bad people do not suffer?
8 What is your opinion of the book of Job? The author of Job was confron6ng the prevailing view that suffering is God s punishment for sin.
9 What is your opinion of the friends who came to comfort Job? What do Job s friends say to him Read Job 4:7-8 Read Job 8:20 Read Job 11:14-17 Here is Job s response to his friends. Read Job 16:2 What do you think of Job s friends?
10 Read Job 2:9 What is your opinion of Job s wife?
11 What happened to Job at the end of the book? Read Job 42:10-17 Read Job 1: What is your opinion of the collateral deaths?
12 Is suffering only either a punishment or a test? If suffering is a punishment, then it places God in the posi6on of dispensing suffering and it leaves the vic6m in the posi6on of wondering what they did to deserve this punishment. Have you ever wondered this?
13 If suffering is a test thenit leaves the person wondering what am I supposed to learn from this. One woman said I know God is tes6ng me, I just don t know how much more I can take of this tes6ng. Have you ever wondered this?
14 What s the difference between punishment and consequences? Punishment is the direct and inten6onal interven6on of God bringing suffering to us. Consequences are the natural results of our ac6ons.
15 Read Romans 5:3-4 Do you agree with this? What about when suffering comes, it is not wasted by God, but put to good use and God can make something good come out of our suffering if we let Him.
16 Read the note from the pastor on page 226. What do you think of this pastor s posizon?
17 What do you think when a person is going through a trying Zme and people say Everything happens for a reason. It must have been God s will? These are phrases when we don t know what to say, but open they turn people away from God rather than toward Him How do you handle it when someone says this to you?
18 The author says that if both healing and sickness comes from God what is the point of doctors and medical research. Does this make sense?
19 The author says that the idea of God s sovereignty does not mean that everything happens according to God s will, but that human evil, disasters, illness, and death will not have the final word. God s love will finally prevail. Do you take comfort in this?
20 The author says that we are capable of doing wonderful and selfless things, but we can also be self absorbed and do harmful things. How do you keep focused on doing the former and staying away from doing the lacer? The Holy Spirit, the Bible, and the church reveals God s will to us. Each have a heart and a conscience to help us find our way.
21 God works through doctors, nurses, researchers, friends, family, and strangers. Our task is to pay afen6on to see who might need us. How do you discern when and how to step in and help someone in need?
22 Read John 14:2-3 When the end of life comes, we can draw hope from the Bible that there is something more that death is not the end, but a transi6on into something befer. Do you take comfort in that thought?
