THE basis of this hope is found in the revelation of God to man. The patriarch Job, while suffering with what appeared to be an incurable malady, with apparently nothing but death awaiting him, inquires, “If man die, shall he live again?” and he responds to the question to which his fears give rise, “All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.” Similarly is this hope of blessed immortality expressed by the psalmist. Turning from the destruction of the ungodly, which he was contemplating, he declares with respect to the hope which cheered his heart, “As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.” In a similar strain speak Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and other prophets of old. The Lord Jesus and his disciples testified of their faith in the life beyond. We deal in this life with things transitory in their character. We look beyond for the real, the true, the enduring. Soon faith shall be swallowed up in sight. The Lord will come, bringing life and immortality to his faithful, waiting children.
