I know that my Redeemer lives

"For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God …" Job 19:25, 26

Job's triumphant declaration (in the midst of incredible pain and suffering), as he looked forward to Christ's sacrifice, is ours also, as we look back at Calvary: I know that the One who gave His life for me is alive.

Job stated that, even though he may die and rest in the grave, he would see God in the resurrection of the righteous. He realizes that man is mortal, subject to death, but on that day, God raises the faithful, in immortal bodies, to eternal life.

Let this be your driving force today: I know that my Redeemer is alive!
