Christ Has, Is, and Shall Save All the Children of God

Deuteronomy 34: 9-Joshua 1: 1-9

 

Vested with complete power and authority from God, every promise God made to the children of Israel was fulfilled by Joshua. He led them to victory and possession of the land, conquering all their enemies. 

 

Our Lord Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords. He has all authority in heaven and earth, power over all flesh.  Christ has conquered Satan, sin and death.  He is able to subdue all things unto himself (Phi 3: 21). Believers are more than conquerors through him that loved us (Rom 8:37). He shall save his people from their sins (Mat 1: 21).

 

Beholding Christ, how every believer desires to grind to powder our awful taskmaster's whip!  Still, how often we find ourselves playing the harlot by turning again to the weak and beggarly elements.  Oh, but we have this great hope as we see our Lord and Savior typified in Joshua.  When Joshua came to Rahab the harlot, seeing the scarlet thread in her window, he spared her house.  So Christ is merciful and faithful to save all sinners who cast all their care upon him (Heb 7:25; Jude 24-25).
