Job 19:25-27
I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.
And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
I myself will see him
with my own eyes-I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me.

Jesus, My Redeemer,
How
can I ever thank You for buying me, not with corruptible coins made of
silver and gold, but with Your incorruptible flesh and blood? Willingly
enduring a violent execution, You descended into Hell to rescue me.
After three days in a dark tomb, You defeated death and bounced back to
glorious life - not as a stiff cold corpse, but as an able-bodied man
who could walk and talk. Hallelujah!
My Redeemer lives!
Your empty grave guarantees it!
Your faithful followers witnessed it!
I believe it!
And,
I know with full assurance that one day, possibly quite soon, the
heavens will split open and You will appear on a great white stallion.
Standing upon this earth with fire in Your eyes and a sword in Your
hand, You will be endowed with integrity, nobility and strength. At Your
appearance, every man, woman, and child will be knocked off their feet
and acknowledge that You are Lord of lords, and King of kings.
Undoubtedly, I will see my Faithful Knight, the Prince of Peace crowned
with beauty and majesty.
Though disease and death may destroy my
body, and darkness may obstruct my view, I believe with all my heart
that one day I will personally stand with heaving lungs and a throbbing
heart, gazing on Your glory with my own two eyes. In Your power I will
have a mountaintop view of the Triumphant One who bought me and set me
forever free to live eternally. O how my heart dances with desire!
Hallelujah! Amen.

How
confident are you that one day soon the heavens will burst open and
Jesus, your Redeemer, will to stand upon the earth? Do you believe that
after this time of extreme darkness, disease, and even death that you
will see Him in all His splendor with your own two eyes?
Does the very thought of seeing the Risen Redeemer set your heart dancing with desire?
O how my heart yearns within me! Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King!
