It regards —

I. THE PROMISED SAVIOUR. It speaks of Him —

1. As a Redeemer. A title peculiarly applicable to the Lord Jesus.

2. As a living Redeemer. Which applies to that grand and consolatory truth, the resurrection of our Lord from the dead. The words may, however, refer to His divinity rather than His resurrection.

3. As a Redeemer in whom he had a peculiar interest. His Redeemer in particular. "My Redeemer liveth."

4. As a Redeemer who would stand at the latter day upon the earth. This may refer to the incarnation, but it must also refer to the great resurrection.

II. JOB'S OWN JOYFUL RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD.

1. How he dwells on the effects which would be produced by death on his bodily frame.

2. How, in defiance of every difficulty which might obstruct or hinder it, he yet expressed his assured hope of a joyful resurrection.We have here the views of this ancient believer respecting —

1. The resurrection of the body. The body, after the resurrection, would be true flesh, not a spirit, thin and subtle as the air, as some have vainly imagined. At the resurrection he would receive the very same body which he had on earth. The nature of that happiness to which the servant of God, after his resurrection, would be admitted, is indicated. It was the beatific vision of that God and Saviour in whose presence is fulness of joy. But those only will thus see Him who have received Him here as their Redeemer, by a faith which purifies the heart, overcometh the world, worketh by love, and maintaineth good works.

(John Natt, B. D.)
