Life in this fallen world comes with its fair share of laments: Why did this happen? Where is God in all of this? Will this ever end? Bible characters like Rebekah, Moses, Gideon, and Job have their own laments too, some of which can make us feel uncomfortable. After seven silent days and nights, Job breaks his silence in our text today with several laments (3:11, 12, 23, 25-26); he puts it all out on the table. In this section of Job, we learn to (1) cope with sorrow by going through it; and (2) survive sorrow by looking past it. We look to Jesus who knows what it’s like to lament. Yes, we mourn and sorrow for the night, but Jesus’ resurrection (and ours) turns lamenting into rejoicing.
