I know that my redeemer lives
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The passage from Job 19:23-27 speaks about the declaration of faith that Job makes, "I know that my redeemer lives." The word "redeemer" is a loaded term in the original Hebrew, referring to a character in the Old Testament who played a redemptive and helpful role in a family crisis. This character represented someone in court, defended the rights of family members, and stood beside them in times of trouble. Ultimately, the idea of a redeemer points towards Jesus Christ, who stands beside us, represents us, and defends our cause before the heavenly court. None of us can be saved by our own righteousness, and it is only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we are redeemed and able to come before the throne of eternal judgment.
In this sermon, the speaker discusses the concept of a redeemer as seen in the story of Job in the Bible. He explains that a redeemer is someone who defends our cause and represents us before a court, standing in substitution of our weakness. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus is our redeemer and we need to acknowledge him as such. He encourages listeners to confess Jesus as their Lord and savior, and to have a personal, individual relationship with him. The speaker also highlights the importance of Jesus being the living one, embodying life and resurrection, and emphasizes that Christianity is the only religion that claims a living savior.
The speaker discusses the importance of believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He shares the story of a journalist who investigated the resurrection and ended up accepting Christ as his savior. The speaker emphasizes that confessing the resurrection of Jesus Christ is vital in being a true Christian. He also discusses the end times and the belief in eternal life, encouraging listeners to open their hearts to Jesus and confess him as their savior. The speaker invites those who haven't done so to raise their hands and confess Jesus as their lord and savior.

I want to talk about that living redeemer that we have. So prepare your spirit this afternoon. If you do not know that redeemer, I want to challenge you to consider him as your redeemer too, as your Lord and savior Christ Jesus. I want to go to chapter 19 of Job. Let's start with verse 23. And Job says here:
“…Who would now that my words were written – he did not know that his words were actually going to be written, written in this marvelous book that is the Book of Job – who would that they would be written in a book and with an iron chisel and with lead they were carved in stone forever. – And here is the essential part of the sermon – I know that my redeemer lives – Glory to the Lord. say amen I know that my redeemer lives. – and finally it will rise above the dust and after discarding this my skin, in my flesh I will see God, whom I will see for myself and my eyes will see it and no other. – And he adds this somewhat mysterious phrase – Even though my heart fails within me.”
