Today Job says the bravest sentence in his book: though he slay me, yet will I hope in him. Hope with no conditions attached, aimed at the very God he cannot understand.

And Paul finishes his resurrection chapter with a trumpet. Death itself gets served its eviction notice. Read today as someone who will outlive their grave.

If someone dies, will they live again? Job asked it into a silence that lasted centuries. Paul answered it with a trumpet blast: raised imperishable, changed in a flash, death swallowed whole. The Bible is one long conversation, and today you heard both ends of it.

Notice what resurrection hope produces in Paul: not escapism but stamina. Therefore stand firm, your labor is not in vain. People who know they will outlive the grave can afford to spend their lives freely. Job hoped blind. You get to hope with the tomb already open.
