There appeared to be no justice in Job's suffering—he didn't "get what he deserved." Instead, his suffering came after a lifetime of generosity that affirmed the essential humanity of not just his friends, but his subordinates, as well. In fact, looking at the way Job treated those of lower social classes and professional standings gives us cause to assess the way our own hearts treat money and power. Once we do, the cross gives us the strength to be honest about what we find.
