In today’s episode, we share a bonus top ten on finding glimpses of Jesus in the book of Joshua. Various elements and events from the book are foreshadowings of Jesus and His redemptive work. The Promised Land represents the abundant life and inheritance believers receive in Christ, while Rahab, a Gentile woman from Jericho, symbolizes Jesus as the Savior who extends grace to all people. The Ark of the Covenant represents God's presence, just as Jesus embodies God's presence among believers. Miraculous events like the sun and moon standing still demonstrate God's sovereignty and foreshadow Jesus' authority over creation. The interaction with the Gibeonites highlights Jesus' acceptance and forgiveness for those who come to Him in faith. The Captain of the Lord's Host represents divine authority and guidance, similar to Jesus as the Captain of our salvation. The division of the land among the tribes of Israel reflects the distribution of spiritual blessings and gifts to believers in Christ. Caleb's unwavering faith and the renewal of the covenant also point to Jesus and His faithfulness. The devotional concludes with a call to be faithful like Joshua and Caleb and a prayer to serve the Lord.
