For I know that my Redeemer liveth. –Job 19:25

It is a matter of great comfort and rejoicing to any person, whatever circumstances he is in, when he can say that he knows that his Redeemer lives.

First: It [Job’s statement] implies that he knows that Christ is the appointed Redeemer and Savior of man. It implies a knowledge of Christ’s divine mission; that he was no imposter, but indeed a person sent from God to reveal his mind and will. It implies a knowing that he is the Messiah, as he professed himself to be, and that he is the person that God has pitched upon and sent into the world, and that he might be the Savior of men from their sins and from eternal destruction. It implies what Peter professed in the sixth of John, v. 69:

And we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
