Hey, sis -- my pastor points out that Job did not do one thing wrong.
Well, I guess this is one of those times I would disagree with your pastor. 
God even calls him "perfect and upright".
Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
A search of these words will reveal they do not necessarily mean that the upright never do anything wrong only that their heart is right toward God. In God's eyes you and I are upright and perfect because we pursue Him and His ways. Job was an upright man and one that feared God but this is how God describes all those that follow Him.
I think Job himself realized why he was going through all this and he blamed himself. In chapter 3 he is confessing why he thinks it all happened. He saw himself as one that was not happy complaining and mourning all the time. He walked in fear and the thing he mourned and complained and feared about finally came upon him. Chapter 1 tells that his children were always partying and Job was worried about them all the time. He continually offered sacrifices because he was so worried (Job 1:5). Chapter 1 also reveals something going on with his children. The sons always feasting and calling for the three sisters. In the end Job again had three daughters and seven sons but it makes particular mention of the fact that these daughters were given an inheritance among the brothers. So I believe Job also had some guilt going on with the treatment of the first three daughters and their brothers. What that is I'm not sure but usually there is specific mention of things to bring out or reveal a truth.
He maintained his integrity all throughout his ordeal, and when God showed up at the end, it was his friends he had to make sacrifice for, not the other way around.
One feature that makes a man upright is that they turn to God in trouble and humble themselves before Him when they have done wrong. Yes, Job maintained his integrity but he did make several mistakes. God called him on it. In the end it was because Job repented that he was to pray for his friends because they did not (see 42: 7 & 8). It is thought that Job was a priest and therefore, he would be the one who would offer the sacrifices. It was also because Job repented that his sacrifice was accepted.
Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Job 40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
Job 40:2 Shall he that
contendeth with the Almighty instruct
him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
Job 40:3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Job 40:5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Job 42:1 Then
Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 42:2 I know that thou canst do every
thing, and
that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Job 42:3 Who
is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?
therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Job 42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job 42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Job 42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Job was a type of Christ.
I love this comparison chart:
Jesus and Job Compared.
Interesting chart... but...
Bet you didn't expect this answer.. Ha Ha Well, maybe you did. I'm glad you mentioned this because it got me reading Job again. I love the book of Job but it's been awhile since I've read through it.
