Job 19:25

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

Job had lost it all; he was in severe pain and suffering and his friends were blaming him for it all. All these things combined against him to crush him and extinguish his faith, but like someone who is being smothered battles and throws off whatever is taking his breath, Job violently shakes off all the doubts, fears, sufferings and circumstances that would lead him to doubt God and triumphantly affirms “I know that my redeemer liveth!” That is what we must do. Regardless of doubters that scoff, liberals that sneer, unbelievers that mock, and libertines that jeer, we must get down on bed rock, raise our arms and cry out to Jesus, “I know that you died for my sins and I am believing in you to be my Savior.
