I KNOW MY REDEEMER

JOB 19:25-27

INTRODUCTION

In the trials and trouble of Job, Job knew something you ought to know in your life. These verses mark a turning point in the life and attitude of Job. After his pity parties, he finally gets his eyes on the big picture or the big idea in life. He begins to look beyond and now to somethings that are settled. Somethings that will never change. These changeless things gave Job joy. When life is rough and you feel defeated, there are some sure facts that can bring joy in the midst of the storm. Job knew of a redeemer, a friend, a Savior God. In the dying world, in a changing world, in a barren, broken, bitter world, Job found an undying redeemer. Let us learn:-
