 "question": "Do you think that Job today would say that his suffering was worth the pain he experienced? Give reasons for your answer.",
 "answer": "Yes, and gladly. Though there is no technique that can take the hurt out of pain, God had His reasons for allowing Job's suffering, and the fruit of it was beyond measure. Job was vindicated in his steadfast faith, and out of that one battle came comfort for thousands upon thousands of souls throughout the coming centuries, while Satan was given a mouthful of dust. Job himself held to the conviction that his Redeemer lives and that even after his skin was destroyed he would yet see God, and faith refined by such fire made the Lord real to him as nothing else could. Like the man born blind, he would count every pain as nothing beside the glory it brought to God.",
