I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Why do you pursue me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?

“Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll, that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock forever!

I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

“If you say, ‘How we will hound him, since the root of the trouble lies in him,’ you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment.”

Job 19: 23-29

The famous Christ the Redeemer overlooks the city of Rio de Janeiro. The designer wanted the first image of people in the morning to see Christ, and the setting sun is a halo.

Anyone who has accepted Jesus as Savior has a reason to be glad today. No matter what we endure on earth, we can have hope and look forward to enjoying eternity with Him.

Through His cross and resurrection, Jesus rescues and redeems.
