For I know that my Redeemer lives,and at last he will stand upon the earth;

Some scholars believe that Job is the oldest book in the Bible. I'm not sure how current that view is but I do hope this is true because over the years I have developed an affinity for the ideas expressed in this work. It seems fitting that the earliest book should deal most profoundly with the most difficult paradox that all human kind experiences; "The question of evil and innocent suffering."

Job's sufferings, like some of our own, are never explained, yet his story and ours is infused with the promise of good news.
I invite you to experience the
"substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen."

"Have pity on me, have pity on me,
O you my friends,for the hand of God has touched me!
Why do you, like God, pursue me?
Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?
"Oh that my words were written!Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
Oh that with an iron pen and leadthey were graven in the rock for ever!
For I know that my Redeemer lives,and at last he will stand upon the earth;
and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
then from my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see on my side,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!"

Job 19:21-27
