"Yes!"

The Word for today: 
Job 13:1 -- 14:22

mark this: Job 14:14

Job's philosophy as he struggles to understand his plight is often wrong-headed, but on this question -- "If a man dies, shall he live again?" -- Job never wavers. Soon, we'll hear Job's cry of faith:

I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand upon 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! (1)

The resurrection of Jesus Christ --and the promise that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life -- is the bedrock of Christian faith.

Because of Jesus, the answer to Job's most important question is a resounding, "Yes!"
