Redeemer

This Easter morning, we begin worship with:

Job 19:25

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.

 Through the tragedy that struck Job, He came to understand that:

• There needs to be an arbiter between us and God (Job 9:32-35).
• That a celestial witness must speak on our behalf (Job 16:19-21).
• That God must be the one to pay the pledge (Job 17:3) for our trial.
• That, as our verse today reads, our Redeemer lives and will raise us up and redeem us (Job 19:23-27).
• That God will be our judge (Job 21:22-26).
• But we can be confident even in our indictment (Job 31:35-37).

He is Risen.
