Romans 5:1-5; Phil 1:12-14, 19-20; 1 Thess 1:6-7; 1 Peter 1:3-9)
What is wrong with the perspective the disciples have? How is it similar to what Job’s friends assumed about him? How does this perspective still prevail today?
How does Jesus go beyond the disciples’ question and redirect them to the primary point? What do we learn about suffering as a result?
