Takeaways:

Friends with good intentions can give bad advice.

Eliaphaz Speaks to Job:

False Idea #1: There is no Satan behind suffering.
Satan is truly the one to blame here. But without an understanding that there are evil forces in the world out to harm us, we oversimplify things.

Bildad the Shuhite:

False Idea #2: There is no final judgment.
The Bible teaches that we will reap what we sow - but not immediately, because what we sow has to grow until harvest.

Zophar the Naamathite:

False Idea #3: There is no innocent suffering.

Job’s friends made three mistakes; three lies they were trying to get Job to believe:

There is no Satan behind suffering
There is no final judgment
There is no innocent suffering

There are some things only God has the answers to (we’re just guessing).

Discussion Questions:

Why do you think understanding suffering with a connection to Satan is important?
Can you think of a time that you lost perspective in your life while suffering? What was it?
How does the final judgment change the way we see and understand suffering?
Why is it good news for us that God doesn’t immediately judge us in real time? That there is a final judgment.
