Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / April 20, 2025 – EASTER SUNDAY
Text: Job 19:25-27
Life fell apart for Job. He lost it all. How does a person survive that?
Read Job 19:25-27
I. REASSURANCE
“For I know” (vs.25)
Acts 1:13 –
“To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs being seen of them 40 days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God”
Several areas of proof
- The empty tomb
- Peter
- Disciples
- 500 brethren at once saw Jesus (1 Corinthians 15)
- James
- Thomas
Job could face his darkness in life because of his reassurance
II. REDEEMER
Every life is empty and hopeless without Jesus
Read Romans 3:23 “… the wages of sin is death…”
Read Ezekiel 18:20 “… the soul that sins will surely die … “
The good news? Good Friday preceded Easter.
III. RESURRECTION
Read Job 19:25 – “For I know that my redeemer liveth”
The central event of God’s redemptive work is … the resurrection
Read 1 Corinthians 15:13
Job could go on in life because of his Redeemer’s resurrection
IV. RESCUE
Jesus – He is our personal resurrected Redeemer
