i LCffALTIES
, GOLDEN TEXT: "As. for me,
and my house, we will serve the
Lord." Joshua 24:15.
Lesson Text: Numbers 27:15-23;
Joshua 1:19 24: 1-31
This lessoni begins a new course
consisting of thirteen lessons, each
one of which take3 ,up some out
1 standing leader of Israel, whose life
was successful or : a failure insofar
as he followed the commands of
God and had fellowship with him. The
aim f this series is to furnish guid
ance and enrichment for present-day
living by following the examples of
avoiding the pitfalls of these leaders
JJV as the case may be.
jf Our lesson for this week is a study
of the life of Joshua. Significant is
the fact that the name "Joshua"
means "God's salvation" and in the position of
Greek language it. was spelled
"Jesus," the name of our Saviour.
Joshua in many ways is a type of
Christ. He led God's chosen people
out of the wilderness into the Land
of Promise, defeating their enemies;
Jesus leads those who will . foHow
him out of the wanderings of "a life
of sin, out of the bondage, out of the
darkness, out of the death that comes
as a consequence of sin, into a life of
plenty and peace, and power and joy
as the Canaanites required all the
courage a man could possess. But
Joshua was not afraid for had not
God declared: "There shall not any
man be able to stand before thee all
the days of thy life; as I was with
Moses, so I will be with thee; I will
not fail thee, nor forsake thee. tBe
strong, and of good courage; for thou
shall cause this people to inherit the
land which I sware unto -their fath
ers to give them." (Joshua 1:5-6.)
While Joshua was very unlike his
predecessor, Moses, he knew that he
had a God-given task to perform and
he went about to accomplish it. It
was Joshua's lot to . be a religious
warrior, to make a conquest, for
God's chosen people and to.- provide
for them a permanent placftfof,?abode
where they might grow Up into a
united, God-loving and Godrving
nation. It was his ambition to get
the people of Israel to commit them
selves deeply and irrevocably to a
unqualified loyalty and
obedience to Jehovah, their God,
After about twenty-five years of
leadership, Joshua, who was about
110 years old, realized that he was
about to die. Before going, however,
he was anxious to give a farewell
charge to the Children of Israel.
First, he summoned the elders of the
people to his home at Timnath-serah,
where he recounted to them the pro
tection and care which God had pro
vided His people ever since the time
and freedom as provided by God in; 0f Abraham, and because of this they
owed Him their service, their loyalty
and their love, putting away from
them the thought of worshipping any
other gods, as did the people around
them. Joshua reminded them that
the people must make a choice they
could either serve Jehovah, or they
could serve the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land they dwelled, but they
must make a choice.
As for himself, Joshua announced
his choice in words which come down
to us in ringing tones: -"But as for
me and my house, we will serve
Jehovah." He realized as we should
realize, that he could not ask others
to do what he was not willing to do
himself. He had long before made
his choice, had remained true to it
during his long lifetime and was sat
isfied with the choice he had made.
Therefore, he could counsel others to
do likewise.
"Choose you this day whom ye will
serve." As your choice is made, so
will your destiny be shaped. Will
Christ Jesus,
Because of Moses' rebellion against
God in the Wilderness of Zin, God de j
creed that Moses would not be allow
ed to actually lead the Children of
Israel into the Promised Land. In
stead of pleading with God for Him
to change His mind, Moses prays for
a worthy successor and God points
out Joshua, who had been born in
Egypt, had followed 'Moses' leading
throjyjhout the wilderness journey
and was one of the two spies who
had 'been sent to spy out the land of
Canaan, to bring back a true report
of conditions.
After the death of Moses, Joshua
heard the words of the Lord, saying:
"Moses my servant is dead; now
therefore arise, go over this Jordan,
thou, and all this people unto the
land, which I do give to them, even to
the children of Israel." This was no
easy task to which Joshua had been
called. To lead so great a throng of
people, to try to take the place of so
great a leader as Moses, and to go up
