The Resurrection Hope

Job Drew Comfort From The Resurrection Hope..

Paul reminds us that " God recommends his own love to us in that,
while we were yet sinners , Christ died for us. " { Roman 5:8 }

Appreciation for this undeserved kindness truely brings us closer
to Jesus and to our loveing heavenly Father.
{ 2 Corinthians 5:14, 15 }

Job, a faithfull man from pre- Christian times , also looked forward to a resurrection..
He suffered greatly at Satan's hands..
Unlike his false companions , who never mentioned the resurrection, Job drew comfort from this hope and asked:
" If an able-bodied man dies can he live again ?"

In an answer Job himself declared: All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, until my relief comes.
" Addressing his God, Jehovah, he acknowledged: " You will call, and I myself shall answer you."
Concerning the feelings of our loveing Creator, Job noted:
For the work of your hands you will have a yearning."
{ Job 14:14,15 }

Yes, Jehovah eagerly anticipates the time when faithfull ones return to life in the ressurection..
How this draws use closer to him as we meditate on the love and undeserved kindness that he shows us even though we are imperfect !
{ Romans 5:21 } { James 4:8 }
