Job 14: Life Is Brief, but Resurrection Hope Endures
Reading the Bible Daily with Dave
Host: Dave Jenkins • Date: Friday, January 16, 2026 • Scripture: Job 14
Show Summary
In Job 14, Job reflects on the frailty of human life, the certainty of death, and a deep longing for renewal beyond the grave. He asks a profound question: “If a man dies, shall he live again?” While Job speaks from sorrow and limitation, his longing points forward to the hope fully revealed in Jesus Christ—who conquered death and gives eternal life to all who trust in Him.
