Yearning for the Redeemer: Job’s Hope in the Darkest Hour
Job’s life crumbles—loss, pain, betrayal—yet in Job 19:25-27, he declares, ‘I know that my redeemer lives… in my flesh I will see God.’ Amid suffering (vv. 1-24), he yearns not for relief, but for God Himself. It’s personal—‘I myself will see him’—and physical, a resurrection hope. His heart aches for this Redeemer who’ll stand on the earth, proving pain isn’t the end. Job’s faith shines: broken, he trusts God will show up. What a wild hope—does it change how you face your own dark hours?
