For I know that my Redeemer lives,and at the last he will stand upon the
earth.
These are the words of hope that Job spoke to his best friends. Job has lost his entire family, all his wealth, respect in the community - but not his hope. That hope was planted in the unchanging and timeless I AM.
John Wesley commented on this verse:
This is the reason of his confidence in the goodness of his cause, and his willingness to have the matter depending between him and his friends, published and submitted to any trial, because he had a living and powerful Redeemer to plead his cause, and to give sentence for him.
What a great confidence we can have in the valley of dispair - all believers can say, I shall see God.
