Meditation
Job: For a limited time, Job’s life was fraught with misery. In chapters 1-2 Job went from sublime prosperity and progeny (he had 10 adult children) and in the course of a day he lost it all. Job’s attitude? “The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away.”
(1:21) This passage contains the earliest declaration that there will be a bodily resurrection. FYI: Job lived at about the time of Abraham – long before Moses.
Gospel: Matthew 27:57-66
