Here it is. Here it is. For I know that my Redeemer lives, and he shall stand at last on the earth. After my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself. my eyes shall behold, and not another, how my heart yearns within me. I know that my redeemer lives. The word is goel. Do you recognize that word? When we were going through the book of Ruth, the goel was the kinsman redeemer. Boaz was a near relative who could step in according to Jewish law and buy back or redeem land that had been lost, people that had been lost, and bring them back into the tribe. So Boaz is a perfect example of a Goel, kinsman redeemer. Jesus is the ultimate example of the kinsman redeemer. Related to us, he came as God, but in human flesh. He was a willing redeemer. He paid the price to buy us back to God. And notice, I know that my Redeemer lives. A dead Redeemer does no good. …

Which means there's a process happening. I came to Christ at 19 years old. and I have over the years become more like him. I should say I look more like him now than I did at 19 years old. …
Faithful believers in the Old Testament always looked forward to some future earthly hope. Job, for example, I know that my Redeemer lives and in the end, he's going to stand on the earth and I'm going to stand with him. If Christ didn't rise from the dead, then old Job was wrong. There's no earthly future for Job or Abraham or David or anybody else who hoped in it. Fourthly, verse 19, if in Christ, Paul says, we have hope in this life only. In other words, if the only advantage of being a Christian is that you get peace, love, and groovy vibes with each other and good families, we are of all people most to be pitied. If the benefits of Christianity are only what comes in this life. Listen, let's just go ahead and acknowledge it. It kind of stinks. I mean, I realize there's a lot of great things about being a Christian. We're all friends, and that creates an amazing community. But let's just be honest. …
