Lesson

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 30
CROSSING THE JORDAN.
LESSON TEXT—Joshua 3:7-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—“Fear thou not for I
am with thee.”—lsa. 41:10.
The spies sent out by Joshua (ch.
2) were uni mated by quite a different
motive than that which governed
those wljo first visited Canaan, and
they brought back a much different
repert (Num. ch. 13). The story of
their experience in Jericho with Ra
hab, their escape from her house, and
the incident of the “scarlet thread,”
will prove an interesting introduction
for today's lesson. There are two
shge-stions in the preparation for the
crossing of the Jordan mentioned in
the first seven verses of this chapter:
(1) h was to be an orderly advance
(v -1): no disorderly crowding about
those v.ho led. This was also to be a
sure pwh, though they had not passed
that way before, for God.was leading.
(2) It was to be a prayerful advance
(v. 5). Literally, they were to “un
de rt, he great things for God and to
expect great things from God.”
Jesus Must Lead.
!. The Leader, vv. 7, 8. The cir
cvmwiuices surrounding this episode
aro ~;r d: L rent from those at the
c"-;’ Ing of the Red sea. Moses’ en
with Pharaoh had stamped
h-m ns the one who should save the
n don. True, in the battles and in
hi.: association with Moces Joshua
hoi occupied a position of leadership,
but now he is to deliver Israel from
the death of the wilderness into the
1 a and possessions of Canaan, hence
the words. “I will magnify thee in
the sight of all Israel.” It is notice
: . e, l awever. that Joshua did not
:- r a ti s forward inarch, but rather
rite p. esln. The ark which they bore
is a i? ,>e of Christ and he must al
v, rvs lead. Jehovah magnified Joshua
nuse Joshua had magnified Jeho
wifi, see I. Sain. 2:30, John 17:4, 5.
Those Led, vv. 9-13. Joshua at
■ ~e communicates Jehovah’s order
it i- a forward march to the people (I.
s. 2:13). Hut God graciously ac
e<r giaui-'s his word by a visible mani
tatkn of his presence (v. 10, 11)
cf T. John 1:1, Col. 2:9. It was the
w' rd and presence of the “living
r i“ (v. 10) that was to work this
and to accomplish the victo
rlnur; pos- rsslon of the land in ac
c< Vnee with his own sure promise.
;.is lesson is a great lesson of
ivues. God, through the leading of
-j- uriests bearing the ark (a type of
Ch’-ist), leads man from the failures
of his wilderness experience, through
ih-j th (the Jordan), into newness of
life (Canaan), Rom. 6:4, 9. Previous
ly the mention of the names of these
e w-mies* (v. 10\ had so frightened
Im-ael that they' turned aside in a
■ ar ic, but Israel had been learning
in the bi ? ter school of discipline and
failure. “The Lord of all the earth”
(v. 'll) is to lead, why then fear?
T -a was, however, to be a test, viz.,
ti e path was not to open until thefr
; t were in the waters. There was
nc ■ :rh test at the Red sea, for they
t not then have sufficient faith, I.
< r. IC. 13, I. Peter 1:7.
Israel’s One Way.
111. The Dry Ground, vv. 14-17. Up
iinril the moment they stepped into
ti; ■ wrter, prk -1 and people alike re
lied upon Ihe bare, word of Jehovah,
I. Sam. 15:22. We, too, will surely
find a of escape if we yield him
it obedience, Isa. 43:2; I. Cor.
i0:13. As if to heighten this miracle
i- c wen to remember it was the sea
ion of flood tide (v. 15). The river
Jcrcnn is a great type of the judg
mont passed upon sin. Verse sixteen
tells us that the waters were backed
up beyond "the city of Adam.” Our
Joshua delivers not only us from all
sin but his deliverance is also suffi
cient for the whole human race, Heb.
9:28. I. John 1:7. Our deliverance is
complete. let us praise him. The
Jordan would not, however, have
opened had those bearing the ark
•isused upon the bank. The people
could not haye been delivered except
as ’ lie ark remained in the river bed.
Jesus v.r.t into the waters for us, 2
Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13. He has con
dumned sin for us, Rom. 8:3. He
alono has opened a pathway for our
deliverance. There was no other way
whereby Israel could be delivered and
further they were delivered “right
against Jericho” (v. 16) viz., before
their next big task, and “all the na
tion were passed clean over Jordan”
(v. 17), John 17:12.
Representatives of each tribe (ch.
1) carried from the river twelve
stones for the building of an altar so
that the history of that deliverance
might be perpetuated.
IV. The Lesson. In this lesson we
are brought, in company with Israel,
into the land at last. Abraham saw
and believed. Jacob and his sons
left it when threatened with moral
contamination and physical death.
Much has happened since that time,
but God’s purposes have gone on un
changed. Nor has Jehovah ever been
defeated. Israel is delivered because,
in the language of Ps. 114:2, “Judah
became his sanctuary, Israel his do
minion.” Note how Ps. 114:3 united
forty years of history, “The sea saw
it and fled; Jordan was driven back.”
This is the history of Israel.
