3.30.2025 | Joshua’s Farewell
Joshua 23-24
Here’s a quick challenge: make a list of all the different ways people have shown they love and care for your family. This could be through gifts, time, or words of kindness.
When we remember the ways others have shown love to us, it naturally makes our love for them grow. When Joshua came to end of his life, he took time to recall all the ways God had shown love to him and the Israelites. Joshua reminded the Israelites how God had rescued them out of Egypt, brought them across the Red Sea on dry land, and helped them win so many battles! God had shown His faithful love to Israel over and over again.
As they remembered the ways God had shown His love, Joshua urged the people to give thanks by worshiping and obeying God. Their obedience would be a sign that they remembered everything God had done. It would be an act of worship to the God who had shown them such great love!
Joshua reminded the people that God saved them from Egypt and gave them the Promised Land. He told them to worship God alone. Jesus is worthy of all worship because He saves those who trust in Him from sin and gives them eternal life.
