The 'Job 31' Man: Being a Man of Integrity in a Sinful World

DAY 14 OF 14

One greater than Job

Having put Job on a pedestal as the epitome of a good husband, I feel the need to provide one crucial caveat. Job was righteous, I don't want to detract from that, but even he knew that he needed a Redeemer.

Job had an amazing insight into Christ as His Redeemer. He knew that Christ lived. He knew he would see Him and give an account of himself to Him, and he trembled at the thought.

It doesn't matter whether we're fine, upstanding pillars of our communities, or dodgy, notorious sinners. We all need a Redeemer, and His name is Jesus. Job had the humility to recognise his need of Him, do we?

The resurrection of everyone who has ever lived is as assured as Jesus' tomb is empty. Whether we're good or bad, we will give an account of ourselves to God and receive what we deserve after we have taken our last breath on earth. Whether we're buried or cremated, we will face our Judge in the flesh. Our only hope is if our Judge is our Redeemer.

'Judge of all the earth, thank You for providing redemption for us from the penalty our sin demands, through Your sacrifice on the cross on our behalf. For the praise of Your name, we pray, amen.'

Is Jesus your Redeemer? If not, why not ask Him to redeem you today?


We hope this plan encouraged you, and that you have a desire to walk more closely with Christ every day. Please try our Read Scripture 1 course, which explores the book of Job along with other Bible books. We also welcome you to sign up for our daily devotionals.
