The Endurance of Job

Disciples Live By Faith. Sermon from November 10, 2019

Job 19:23-27 (CEB)

23 Oh, that my words were written down,

inscribed on a scroll

24     with an iron instrument and lead,

forever engraved on stone.

25 But I know that my redeemer[a] is alive

and afterward he’ll rise upon the dust.

26 After my skin has been torn apart this way—

then from my flesh[b] I’ll see God,

27         whom I’ll see myself—

my eyes see,[c] and not a stranger’s.

I am utterly dejected.
