In this final message of the series “The Gospel According To Joshua” we see Israel at the close of one chapter, but the beginning of a new one. They put back in practice some things they had stopped. This begins with circumcision , which was a physical type and shadow of a the spiritual act of the heart. The intention of circumcision was to be a sign of an inward reality.
We also see Israel keeping the Passover, it wasn’t just a holiday, it meant something to them. Passover is a type and shadow of what Christ did for us on the cross. Now we celebrate Communion to honor and commemorate our new reality, because of His grace we are alive again. Like Israel, we must ask ourselves, as we examine our lives, what does this mean to you and I?
