The Book of Job and the Two Trees

Why does God allow suffering? The book of Job shows how God uses trials and hardship to bring us to the end of our own reasoning and self-reliance. Drawing on the ministry of Witness Lee, this message sees Job's experience in light of the two trees in Genesis, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life. What feels like being uprooted is not meant to destroy us; it prepares us for a living, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The story of the man born blind in John 9 shows how God reframes our suffering. Instead of asking "why me?" or whose fault it is, we can see how God's life and work are manifested through our circumstances. And just as Job's trials led him to meet God, we learn not to seek answers in the whirlwind but to hear His gentle inner voice, turning from intellectual understanding to Christ Himself, the true tree of life. 0:00 Introduction 0:31 The book of Job and the two trees 3:19 Uprooted for a living relationship with Christ 10:29 John 9: How God reframes our suffering 13:13 Hearing God's gentle voice 14:35 Turning to Christ, the tree of life #bookofjob #treeoflife #bible #churchinla See more at our: Website: https://www.churchinlosangeles.org/ YouTube:    / @churchinlosangeles   Instagram:   / churchinla
