That's Change

If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service I will wait,
Till my change comes.
  -- Job 14:14

Job lamented for a bit on life's woes in his time, and we know that Job had quite a few woes to lament. Job also expected a change and he resolved to wait on it. That first question is a classic though given our study of the gospels! What evidence did Job have for expecting a change though? Well, his life was not always one of woe, that would be one reason. Another would be that from the very first verse of the Bible to the end we read of changes. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth - that's change. What was not existent suddenly was by the word of God. At the end God proclaims, "Behold, I make all things new." That's change too! So, it doesn't require a prophet to read the word of God and say, "There's going to be change." Of course that first question of Job's comes round again, and what a change the answer promises to us through our Lord Jesus!

Yes, in Christ we live again!
