Joshua - The Faithfulness of God

In this powerful exploration of faith, we delve into the remarkable story of Rahab from the book of Joshua. This unlikely hero—a prostitute who became an integral part of God's plan—teaches us profound lessons about the nature of true faith. We discover that faith isn't blind, but grounded in observable reality. Rahab's faith emerged from hearing about God's mighty acts, reminding us to open our eyes to God's work in our world. Her story challenges us to examine the source of our own faith and to courageously act on it, even in the face of danger or societal pressure. The scarlet cord that saved Rahab and her family beautifully foreshadows Christ's sacrifice, symbolized by His scarlet robe. This parallel invites us to reflect on our own need for salvation and the incredible grace God offers to all, regardless of their past or status. As we contemplate Rahab's inclusion in Jesus' lineage, we're encouraged to believe that God can use anyone—even those society deems unworthy—to accomplish His purposes.
