Job receives bad news that his herds were stolen and his workers killed
The walls of the home collapse from the strong desert winds,
killing Job's children
Credit: Gustave Doré
24
Job is Tested (1:1–2:13)
(credit: Life Application Bible)
Job, a wealthy and upright man, lost his
possessions, his children, and his health. Job
did not understand why he was suffering.
Why does God allow his children to suffer?
Although there is an explanation, we may not
know it while we are here on earth. In the
meantime, we must always be ready for
testing in our lives
25
Three Friends Answer Job (3:1–31:40)
(credit: Life Application Bible)
Job’s friends wrongly assumed that suffering always
came as a result of sin. With this in mind, they
tried to persuade Job to repent of his sin.
But the three friends were wrong. Suffering is not
always a direct result of personal sin.
When we experience severe suffering, it may not be
our fault, so we don’t have to add to our pain by
feeling guilty that some hidden sin is causing
our trouble
26
A Young Man Answers Job (32:1–37:24)
(credit: Life Application Bible)
A young man named Elihu, who had been listening
to the entire conversation, criticized the three
friends for being unable to answer Job.
He said that although Job was a good man, he had
allowed himself to become proud, and God was
punishing him in order to humble him.
This answer was partially true because suffering
does purify our faith. But God is beyond our
comprehension, and we cannot know why he
allows each instance of suffering to come into
our lives. Our part is simply to remain faithful
27
God Answers Job (38:1–41:34)
(credit: Life Application Bible)
God himself finally answered Job.
God is in control of the world, and only he
understands why the good are allowed to suffer
This only becomes clear to us when we see
God for who he is.
We must courageously accept what God
allows to happen in our lives and remain
firmly committed to him
28
Job is Restored (42:1-17)
(credit: Life Application Bible)
Job finally learned that when nothing else was left,
he had God, and that was enough.
Through suffering, we learn that God is enough for
our lives and our future. We must love God
regardless of whether he allows blessing or
suffering to come to us.
Testing is difficult, but the result is often a deeper
relationship with God. Those who endure the
testing of their faith will experience God’s great
rewards in the end

Anatomy of a Crisis
William Ury and Richard Smoke
William Ury and Richard Smoke,
"Anatomy of a Crisis,"
in Negotiation Theory and Practice,
eds. J. William Breslin and Jeffery Z. Rubin,
(Cambridge: The Program on Negotiation at
Harvard Law School, 1991), pp.47-54.
34
Anatomy of a Crisis
William Ury and Richard Smoke
1. The stakes are high in a crisis environment
2. There is little time available to deliberate
3. It is characterized by great uncertainty
4. It involves a sense of narrowed options
35
Anatomy of a Crisis
William Ury and Richard Smoke
Crisis Escalation
As a crisis intensifies, each of these elements
also intensifies. Time runs out.
The stakes go up and this increases uncertainty.
Options become further polarized in the face
of increasing uncertainty and not enough
time to deliberate effectively.
These factors also contribute to a growing
sense of hostility.
36
Anatomy of a Crisis
William Ury and Richard Smoke
Defusing Crises
The key to defusing a crisis is to enable
high-quality decision-making.
Enabling better decision-making during
a crisis requires control of the four
basic crisis elements.
37
Anatomy of a Crisis
William Ury and Richard Smoke
Defusing Crises
First, parties seek to control the perceived stakes.
Second, they must slow the rate of action and
reaction to allow sufficient time for the sides to
consult with each other, and to deliberate.
Third, accurate and trustworthy information must be
made available about the other side's intentions
and the situation.
Fourth, the parties must remain flexible and generate
a range of options.

約翰福音 9:1-5
(新譯)
耶穌走路的時候，看見一個生
下來就瞎眼的人。
他的門徒問他：
「拉比，這人生下來就瞎眼，
是誰犯了罪？ 是他呢，還
是他的父母呢？」
89
約翰福音 9:1-5
(新譯)
耶穌回答：
「不是他犯了罪，
也不是他的父母犯了罪，
而是要在他身上彰顯上帝的作為。
趁著白晝，我們必須作那差我來者的工；
黑夜一到，就沒有人能作工了。我在
世上的時候，是世界的光。」

約翰福音 9:6-7
(新譯)
說了這話，就吐唾沫在地上，用
唾沫和了一點泥，把泥抹在瞎
子的眼睛上，
對他說：「你去西羅亞池洗一洗吧。」
於是他就去了，洗完了，走的時
候，就看見了。
