Good morning and welcome to this edition of thinking about the Bible and I'm gonna read from Job 1925 26 and 27 to you but as for me I know them a Redeemer lives and he will stand upon the earth at last and After my body has decayed yet in my body. I will see God. I will see him for myself Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought. This is a passage that I use Quite often when I'm meeting with a family a loved one has passed away and this is a Christian family and use this as a Starting point to remind them of the truth of the gospel. It's interesting that yesterday for instance we look at Isaiah 61 and we were reminded in that passage of the truth of salvation by grace and And one thing we need to realize is that God has not Abandoned one plan and come up with a plan B. It's always been plan a it's always been salvation in Jesus Christ It's always been the Eternal Son incarnate and the the promises of God are fulfilled in him and through him there's never been a plan a in a plan B and I I Guess I'd say bristle at the thought that people would suggest that God made a mistake Didn't work out. So he came up with another plan never been that way Here's yet more evidence of that fact that God has always had the same plan Job is the oldest book we have in the Bible and Predates anything that is recorded in the books of Moses and And At least that's our assumption, but it is an old book and even then As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and he will stand upon the earth at last this was something that was knowledge that was available to the people of God for centuries thousands of years before the time of Christ and Is always been the same. So one thing I want you to think about today if you will is is think about Some of the Doctrines that you hold to in the New Testament doctrines salvation by grace the perfect sacrifice in Jesus Christ sins forgiven by the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus some of these doctrines that We maybe think are just New Testament doctors are actually biblical doctrines. And so think about that today where those doctrines might be Mentioned elsewhere in Scripture as you consider that just give Thanks to the Lord God He has always had the plan and we have always been in his mind to be part of that plan God bless and I'll see you again tomorrow
