SECTION TWO—: Weekly Devotional Column By James Mackenzie j “For I know that my Redeemer lir eth and that He shall stand at the lat ter day uuon the earth” (Job 19:25).. Thank God for Job! If ever a man has plumbed the deepest depths of lonliness, frustration and despair, it is he. Within a few short weeks, he who had been the wealthiest man in all the East had lost his sons and daughters, his possessions, his cattle, his health, and was smitten with a plague of boils that blanketed his mis erable body from head to foot. The very one he loved the most, whose duty it was to remain faithful to him for better or worse, in sickness and in health, had advised him to curse God and die. And as he sat there in the hot sun, miserable, bemoaning his fate, three of his friends came to him to offer him what they probably considered good advice. I fear we are all plag ued with such friends. In life’s dark est hours, in times of crisis, when a helping hand or even a bit of encour agement would mean so much, when we find ourselves on the brink of di-l saster and don’t know which way toi turn, we turn to our friends, and of-) ten all they have to offer is what they consider good advice. W’e would ' expect Job to follow his wife’s ad- j vice and curse God and die. But no, | not Job. Instead he cries out tri-1 umphantly, “I know tl at my Redeem- ' er liveth!” I Amen, Job; Amen and Amen. Hal lelujah! Praise the Lord; and Selah! 1 I know that my Redeemer liveth! There is no doubt whatever in Job’s mind! He doesn’t say, “I hope thatd my Redeemer liveth,” or “I think,” or I “I suppose,’’ but ‘‘l know.” The Bible j! is like that; it is a dogmatic Book. < You’ll not find any weak, compromis ing, so-called broadmindedness here. 1 Phrases like “I suppose,” “it may be,”) and words like “perhaps”, are utterly | i foreign to the Bible. “I know whom j I have believed,” says Paul, “and am ] persuaded that He is able to keep that)' which I have committed unto Him|i against that day” (II Timothy 1:12).

Page Two redeemed us with His blood, shed freely upon the shameful cross, arose again from the dead, and is alive to day, sitting at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor, and the only Mediator between God and men. Think, reader; can you say with Job, “I know that my Redeemer liveth?” —or do you trust in the “good advice” of false friends and sinful men? The Christ of the cross and the empty tomb longs to be your Saviour today, ( if you will but trust Him, and receive , Him, and serve Him. Right now, bow ' your head in prayer, confess your sins ' to God, and take His only begotten Son as your Saviour and Lord, that I you may sing with the poet, , I serve a risen Saviour, . He’s in the world today; I know that He is living, Whatever men may say. I see His hand of mercy, i I hear His voice of cheer; And just the time I need Him, He’s always near— He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me, and talks with me, Along life’s narrow way; He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart; You ask me how I know He lives— He lives within my heart.
