“For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth…” (Job 19:25, NKJV)

This steadfast declaration of faith has been appropriated by generations of Christians. Job desires a advocate who would plead with God on his behalf, defender or redeemer seems to be none other than God Himself. He expresses confidence that ultimately God will vindicate His faithful servants in the face of all false accusations.

Just like Job, how we wish our words could be recorded permanently, so that some day someone would declare him right. We join Job in his belief and confidence that there must be a new and victorious life after death, for if God is to make a declaration that we are righteous, we must be there to hear it.

So though our body may die, we will somehow live again. In our own body, with our own eyes, we will see God. He is our redeemer who lives forever.
