Job 42:1-6, 10-17

Then Job replied to the Lord: 2 “I know that you can do all things;
no purpose of yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;I will question you,and you shall answer me.’5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. 6 Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes.”

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver[a] and a gold ring.

12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And so Job died, an old man and full of years.

Hebrews 7:23-28

23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely[a] those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

26 Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

Mark 10: 46-52

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Hymn 414

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that my Redeemer lives
What hope this sweet assurance gives
That He, who gave His life for me
Arose with healing in His wings

He lives, the tomb is empty still

Redemption's promise He fulfilled
No condemnation now remains
The stone of death is rolled away

My Redeemer lives
My Redeemer lives
On heaven's throne and in my very soul
I know that my Redeemer lives

I know that my Redeemer lives
And all my life is bound to His
In realms above, He intercedes
Our sinless Savior, perfect Priest

No fear can follow where He guides
His constant presence is my light
No pow'r on earth or heav'n above
Can separate us from His love

My Redeemer lives
My Redeemer lives
On heaven's throne and in my very soul
I know that my Redeemer lives

I know that my Redeemer lives
In life and death I trust in Him
My soul secure, my future safe
He'll not forsake me to the grave

He lives and He will not delay
My eyes will wake to brightest day
And in my flesh I'll see Him stand
When Christ, in glory, comes again
And every eye will see Him stand
When Christ, in glory, comes again

My Redeemer lives
My Redeemer lives
On heaven's throne and in my very soul
I know that my Redeemer lives

On heaven's throne and in my very soul
I know that my Redeemer lives

Hymn 480

Open My Eyes, That I May See

1 Open my eyes that I may see
glimpses of truth thou hast for me.
Place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

2 Open my ears that I may hear
voices of truth thou sendest clear,
and while the wave notes fall on my ear,
ev’rything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my ears, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

3 Open my mouth and let me bear
gladly the warm truth ev’rywhere.
Open my heart and let me prepare
love with thy children thus to share.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my mouth, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

Hymn 716

God Be With You

God be with you till we meet again;
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep in love enfold you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
