Four passages and a short devotional a day to take you through the whole Bible in one year — right alongside your Spirit Church family.
Real questions from Spirit readers on this passage, answered by our pastors.
From the bottom of the ash heap, abandoned by everyone, Job says the words that have been sung over graves for three thousand years: I know that my redeemer lives, and in the end he will stand on the earth.
Faith's finest hour is rarely the mountaintop. It is the sentence spoken from the bottom. Today, listen to a ruined man prophesy.
Job's redeemer sentence should be impossible. Every fact he possessed argued against it, and he said it anyway, with his skin failing and his friends prosecuting. Sometimes faith is not a conclusion from the evidence. It is defiance of the evidence in the direction of God's character.
And here is the wonder: Job's impossible sentence came true, literally. The Redeemer does live, and He did stand on the earth, and flesh really will see God. What Job flung into the dark, Easter caught. Whatever you must say by faith today, say it. The catching is God's job.
