THE HOPE OF DYING MEN WAS REVEALED TO JOB IN HIS MISERY. He saw the victory of the risen Christ, the hope of a dying world. Friends and relatives are constantly being taken by death. But one relative ever lives. He is our divine Kinsman. To Him the right of redemption belongs. He has paid the ransom price, and He lives to effect our final and complete deliverance. He lives in our nature at the right hand of God. He lives for us in the holiest of all. His existence is eternal, His office is untransferable. He will plead our cause. He will conquer our foes. He will perfect our graces. He will redeem us from death. He will be glorified in us, when He comes again the second time without sin unto salvation. I know Him from the revelation of His word, and by the teaching of His Holy Spirit. I know Him as the object of my trust, confidence, and desire. I know Him as my Redeemer. He has already rescued me from Satan, vile habits, and this present evil world. Into His hands I have committed my spirit, and I know that as He liveth in the character of my Kinsman Redeemer, I shall live also. Dear friends, it is sweet, peculiarly sweet, to have one ever- living, ever-loving Friend. O Lord Jesus may I know and love Thee more!

For Meditation:
I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever pleads for me;
Salvation to my soul He gives,
And life and liberty.
