My Redeemer Lives

“I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives my every-living head.” (LSB 461 v. 1)

As we enter the fifth week of Easter, are you still celebrating that our Redeemer lives? I hope so! The words of this beloved hymn, based upon a passage from Job 19:25, affirms all that Jesus our Redeemer means to me. “He lives to silence all my fears; He lives to wipe away my tears; He lives to calm my troubled heart; He lives all blessings to impart.” (v. 5)

I have a dear friend who is dying. Beyond my visits and prayers, I have gifted her with our new devotion book God’s Grace in a Lemon-Filled World by Aretta Gordish, available in the LWML SHOP through CPH. This collection of 20 devotions demonstrates how God’s grace prevails when life gives us lemons. It is my prayer that this little devotion book will provide some comfort to my friend in her last days and affirm to her that her Redeemer lives.

“For I know that my Redeemer lives….” (Job 19:25).
