“For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;” (Job 19:25 NKJV) Job had lost a lot (family, possessions, and health cf. Job 1-2), but he had not lost hope. He had hope in a redeemer that he proclaimed lived and would stand upon the earth. The apostle John stated so much when he began his Gospel record (Jn. 1:1-14). Through Christ’s sacrifice we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins (Eph. 1:3-7; Col. 1:12-14). The one hope (Eph. 4:4) remains available for any honest and good hearted person who hears the Word, keeps it, and brings forth fruit with patience (Lk. 8:11, 15). God blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning (Job 42:12-17), and we have confidence He will do the same for His faithful servants (Titus 1:2). I know that my Redeemer lives and I look forward to being with Him some day! Let us look forward to spending eternity with God and the faithful of all ages (cf. Rev. 7). Trent Thrasher
