Joshua
Main Idea
The Emancipation of Israel- Josua reminds them of their past- we would do just as well to be reminded of our past
The Establishment of Israel - God had indeed done what he had promised to Abraham- he made him a great nation and had given him a land that was promised- God has done the same thing in our life- We cannot have victory in the flesh.
It can only be achieved through the power of God which is given to us at the moment of salvation.
God established Isreal and he has established a place for us.
The Exhortation of Israel- This is really the heart of Joshua’s message.
Verse 14 begins with “therefore” and this message is built upon the foundation of what he reminded them of previously.
In this exhortation Joshua does several things…
He commands them - “fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and truth”
He challenges them - “choose you this day” - he reminds them that although God is worth and although he is commanding the choice is ultimatly up to them.
The same is true with us!
He cautions them- “ye cannot serve the LORD” - “if ye forsake him” - he caution them about the repercussions of their choice.
Choices have consequences.
In our lives, in this life, choices have eternal consequences.
He covenants with them - A covenant is simply an agreement.
They said we will serve God.
Joshus said… as God’s representative I am going to make a record of that decision and write it down, to be forever recorded in the eternal Word of God.
He commemorates with them - Not only did Joshua record their decision in the Word of God but he built a monument under an Oak tree with stone.
These are long lasting permanent fixtures, symbols of things that are permanent.
What was he trying to say to Israel?
What is God trying to say to us?
