Just asking (7): got your Easter surprise?

Easter is for surprise.
The empty tomb is Exhibit Supreme.

Yet it’s so liberating, not least from death.

Hardly anyone has read the book of Job, let alone finished it.
It’s too long and full of dialogs.

But indeed the plot is simple.

No, not about the story.
For that any decent introduction can present.
Or a hard slog through the 40+ chapters may get.

Instead, this is the plot:
“Man doesn’t know man; God knows man.
Man doesn’t tolerate arguments; God does.”

This is extremely liberating.

There’s no need for theodicy.
There’s no need for guaranteed certainty—Man could be correct 99% right about something or someone; but it only takes just 1% to keep man humble.
Surprise doesn’t need 99%.

It really doesn’t matter how much one thinks one knows.
One still doesn’t have omniscience to form a perfect judgement.

Job’s case was a surprise.
His friends were surprised of his righteousness.
He was surprised himself.
Surprised that he got picked on by God, through no fault of his own.
Surprised that God even entertained his protest.

I’m just asking.
Got your Easter surprise?
