Acknowledge God as Lord

Step 1 introduces “Respond with Faith”, the start of a seven lesson series from Job. Interestingly, Wiley Richards, Mark Dunn and Jim Perdue comment on a similar lesson (from the Family Bible Series) back in October 2005. Richards says, “The unstated problem relates to why good people suffer.” Troy Bush, commenting on the current lesson (from the Explore the Bible Series) says, “Injustice and evil challenge our understanding of God more than anything else.”

Pope Benedict prayed at the Auschwitz concentration camp on Sunday about the Holocaust saying, “Why, Lord did you remain silent?” The article asserts, “It is of course an unanswerable question.” What do you think? Could this article, or others like it be used to introduce this first lesson from Job?
