Job 14:1-22

14:14 | Although Job speaks here about the finality of death in this age, Jesus taught that anyone who dies in this age will indeed live again in the next – either dwelling in the presence of Almighty God (John 11:23-26; 1 Cor. 15:3-57). Life is never finished at the grave. For the Christian, the grave is where real life begins.

14:18-22 | The Christian response to suffering should be neither denial nor fatalistic surrender. Jesus offers people hope beyond the immediacy of their pain. The promise of eternal life prevents present anguish from having the last word.
