Tomorrow, 5 Dec is the last Sunday School of our Fall term. I missed much of the term with travels out of town and out of country. This term our class has been focused on “G^d keeps His Promises”. We studied the book of Joshua.
It was a great book to study.
Basically it starts with Joshua (real name Yehoshu’a-G^d saves), who shares the
same Jewish name as Jesus. In many ways, the story of Joshua is a preview of
the story of Jesus. Joshua is a man of great faith, who is fearless due to his
confidence in G^d the Father.
Joshua is a deliver who leads
G^d’s people to the promised land. Jesus is The Deliverer who leads us, enables
us, to reach the Promised land of Heaven.
Joshua warns the Jewish
people that they will not be able to obey G^d.
Take a look at their track record—not too good—about like ours. We are
in trouble, just like the Children of Israel.
But G^d keeps His Promises,
and because of the perfect sacrifice of the Christ, we escape our troubles due
to His grace and mercy.
Joshua is one of the BIGGEST
heroes of the scriptures…but he doesn’t equal Jesus.
Thanks be to G^d that He
keeps His promises, and He accepts us by His mercy and Grace.
