In the second part of this series, “The Gospel According To Joshua”, Pastor Jason looks at the two pairs of twelve stones, one group moved out of, and the other into the Jordan. Twelve men, one appointed from each tribe, carried out a smooth stone on their shoulder out of the river. Joshua commanded for them to be set in the camp for a testimony to future generations.
Twelve men carried stones, but the Word explain Joshua, a type and shadow of Jesus, carried twelve stones himself into the Jordan. A visible memorial and an invisible memorial, which is a type and shadow of baptism. You see the believer going into the water in baptism, but what you don’t see is, all of our sins being cast away, it’s far more than a physical act.
