"For they did not take the land into possession
by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them;
but it was Your right hand,
and Your arm,
and the light of Your face,
because You favored them."
..
Psalm 44:3 (VW)
..
This verse from the Old Testament
POINTS TO JESUS!
..
Israel was delivered from Egypt
after being saved from death,
BY THE BLOOD OF A LAMB!
..
They passed through the baptism
of the Red Sea.
..
And they were led into the PROMISED LAND
by Joshua, whose name is derived from the Hebrew word 'Yasha' which means:
~ open wide,
~ to free,
~ to help.
It is translated as SAVE!
..
After crossing the Jordan,
Joshua saw the Captain
of the Lord's armies,
who was the heavenly Joshua - JESUS!
He gave Joshua the instructions
for commencing the conquest
of Canaan.
..
Israel was given the Promised Land.
But,
It wasn't by their Own Words!
It wasn't by their Own Works!
..
It was by God's
RIGHT HAND = JESUS
°
It was by God's
ARM = JESUS
°
It was by the
LIGHT of God's Face = JESUS
..
All because GOD had favour (acceptance)
towards them! (=The GOSPEL OF GRACE)
..
WOW ... JESUS is the SAVIOUR
..
Through Him we are
on our way to the
Ultimate Promised Land
= HEAVEN itself!
