Job 19:25

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

Here lies the central message of Christianity, 'My Redeemer liveth'. Whatever other religion there may be, whatever other prophet there may be, whatever other codes there may be, this one truth is above all else, Jesus Christ is risen from the dead and lives forever more at the right hand of His Father in heaven. For I know that my redeemer liveth - word study, to know; It begins with this question, do you know? what do you know? I find that most Christians, when asked to explain their hope in Christ do not know the truth. We are void of understanding His ways and His word. Found in the Word is His way of salvation and redemption. He Who was, is and always shall be is the resurection and the hope of eternity for any soul that will believe and live for Him. Do we know this? Too many have a mind understanding about these things, but it is not in their heart nor do they live it. Is the proof of a Christians life not found in evidence of their daily living? so that a person that is religious can say all they want, " I believe in God, in Christ"; but if there is no fruit of holiness then it is just idle words and empty statements. For even the devils believe, does that make them saved and born again? Proof is in the puddin'. Then it is important to ask ourselves, 'what do we know for certain?' what is it in your heart and soul that is absolute truth to you? A true Christian is anchored in this absolute truth, Jesus Christ was killed on the cross; Jesus Christ took all the sins of the world upon Him there, mine and yours; and He arose the third day and lives forevermore. He is not dead, He is alive. Too many sway back and forth over whether to accept and believe it, they do not know what they believe. And if they are reasoned into believing without knowing it for certain, they are easily persauded out of it. It is important for Christians to resolve their 'knowing' of the things of Christ, eternity and salvation. And if I die to self, take up my cross and follow Him, then having died I shall also live with Him. He has done it all and eternal life is found in Him. and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth - following death His feet shall stand on the earth; It could easily be intrepreted of last days events, but I will hold to the conclusion of the first part of this verse. Having been slain, He rises up from death and His feet are there on solid ground as a testimony of victory over death and sin. The 'latter days' is always in contrast in the Old Testament to the coming of Christ in the new Testament. We see that some are prophetic of the end times, but generally the Old Testament is putting forth to Chrsit as the'latter days' or 'the day of the Lord'. His act of standing should also be noted. Most references to Christ are of Him sitting at the right hand of the Father. And only in a few refereneces is He standing. As He came forth fromt he tomb that EAster morning, He was standing as a testimony of God's resurrection power. may we know this truth is for us, for all the world. How desperately do men, women and chidlren need the Gospel message of atonement, salvation and redemption in Jesus Christ. There's none other but the Name of Jesus that shall save the soul. Do you know Him? Do you know your eternity will be? In Christ, all shall be well.
