Among
Job’s many words of anguish, there are these tremendous words – “I know
that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the
earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see
God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes – I, and not another” (Job 19:25-27).
We must not lose patience. Before Jesus was raised, He went to the
Cross. The Psalmist had this testimony – “I call to the Lord, who is
worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies” (Psalm 18:3).
This great testimony did not come easily – “The cords of death
entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of
the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me” (Psalm 18:4-5). For us, as for Jesus, out of death comes resurrection.
