The Resurrection According To Job

Nathan Stam

I love these powerful words from Job in Chapter 19:

"But I know my living Redeemer,
and He will stand on the earth at last.
Even after my skin has been destroyed,
yet I will see God in my flesh.
I will see Him myself;
my eyes will look at Him, and not as a stranger.
My heart longs within me."

Does your heart long within you for that day?

There will be a bodily resurrection when God remakes the world. That's the promise of Christian resurrection!

Paul writes in Philippians 3 that his goal is to know Jesus and the power of His resurrection...assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.

How about you? Will your eyes look at God, and not as a stranger, on that day?
