Chapter 1
God promises Joshua He will be with him to help him take the land.
Jesus receives the same promise from God the Father to inherit the nations.
We should be courageous to "take the land," to sanctify the territory (spiritual internal life and public square) that Christ has already given us.
Chapter 2
The Jericho prostitute Rahab helps the Israelite spies, believing their God will conquer.
Jesus is the scarlet rope that saves from destruction any house that trusts Him.
Declare your loyalty to Jesus for your house, so you will be saved.
Chapter 3
When the ark steps into the Jordan River, it stops flowing miraculously, so Israel can "pass over."
Jesus as the New Ark makes entry into Canaan possible.
We need faith to step into the chaotic waters with Jesus (the ark), so we can enter the promised land.
