If a man dies, will he live again?

Job 14:14 “If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait Until my change comes.”

In our inner most being is the longing and desire to know what happens after we die. We see that right from the beginning, humans has been pondering this question – “If a man dies, will he live again?” Some people today would have us believe that we simply go back to the ground and cease to exist. But the opposite of this is what the Bible is telling us.

Job thankfully, knew the answer to his question. He states that He will wait for that day. He will wait until His change comes (at the resurrection). He says, quite beautifully, that “You (God) will call and I will answer You.” And that “You (God) will long for the work of Your hands.” For us believers, this reminds us of the resurrection and return of Jesus Christ, who will come with a call, and His bride will answer! And He, our great Savior and creator, will long for the work of His hands. And that is us. We are His workmanship. We often hear how we should long for Jesus but it’s also useful to remember that He longs for us, His bride, His people! Yes, if a man dies, he will live again. Do you know where you will be spending eternity?
