There are seldom easy answers for the presence of specific sufferings we face in life, but because of Jesus Christ we know that we do not face them alone, nor are they without ultimate purpose. The story of Job anticipates the redeeming work of God’s Son, who joins us in our broken humanity and demonstrates the mighty power of God to save. He has risen; he lives; he will stand and vindicate the righteous in the end!
Every person who ever lived will have a continued, conscious existence beyond the grave. You will live forever, in either heaven or hell, and the only way to awake to everlasting Life on the final day is a living, personal, saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
The prophet Isaiah was given a glimpse of Yahweh’s suffering servant some 700 years before he was born. With prophetic eyes, he saw the Messiah’s face, which would silence kings and startle nations. In the face of Jesus Christ, we see the unexpected. But we see the face of God, which is breathtaking and beautiful in ways we never could have anticipated.
Psalm 30 directs the hearts of sinful people away from our pride and self-reliance and to look to God for deliverance. He rescues us from our enemies, diseases, and death, but also from our sinful selves. All these promises converge in Christ and his saving work on the cross.
