“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!” Job 19:25-27 NLT
Job during his most painful moments and losing all hope in this life had confidence in the resurrection. The visit of his three friends along with Elihu gave him no comfort or hope as Job was chastised by them for what they perceived as sin in Job’s life that caused his suffering. The basis for Job’s confidence are his words in verse 25 of chapter 19. “I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.” (nlt)
Although suffering and anticipating he was about to die, Job knew he had a redeemer and his redeemer lives. His redeemer was able to raise him up even after his body had decayed. He believed in the eternal God and that Job himself was an eternal being with a soul. Job describe that he will see God in his body, a new glorified body, and not one in spirit only. He would see God with his own eyes and was overwhelmed at the thought.
Do you have the confidence Job had? Do you believe you will be resurrected and see God and His Son Jesus Christ? If you have accepted Christ as savior you will indeed be resurrected even if you have doubts how all that will occur, it will happen. If you have not accepted Christ you too will be resurrected, but not unto Christ but unto judgement and eternal separation from Him. Each one of us is an eternal being who will live on in the resurrection. Do you have confidence where you will spend eternity? If you’re not sure, make sure today.
