JOB 19

JOB CLINGS TO HIS REDEEMER 

Even in horrible circumstances, Job believes that God is his redeemer and claims that his redeemer lives and will stand upon the earth!

Job reflects on his previous wealth and success compared to his now bleak situation. He describes this change as being stripped of glory and having the crown taken from his head. Little does Job know that one day his redeemer will be stripped of his glory in heaven and given a crown of thorns. Job’s faithfulness in suffering foreshadows the humility and faithfulness of Jesus. 

Job’s story is a reminder that God never promised bad things won't happen to good people. Instead, it points to the life of Jesus, the best person who suffers the worst death. 

Job 19:25 - I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
