Joshua
The introduction below is from
Chuck Smith's Old Testament Study Guide,
available from all good Christian bookshops (contact
DCF
for details):
Joshua is the
first book of the Bible to be named after a person. Joshua’s
name means “Yahweh is salvation” and is the same name as
“Jesus” in the New Testament. So we find in Joshua a very
interesting type of Jesus Christ, and Joshua led the people
into the inheritance.
Moses led
the Israelites out of Egypt to the border of the Promised
Land, but he couldn’t lead them in. Moses stands for the
law, but the law can’t lead you into the fullness of God’s
blessings for your life. The law can lead you to the border,
but it can’t take you in. Joshua took the Israelites into
the Promised Land and now there is a new relationship based
on faith. They’re going to have to begin by stepping out in
faith, coming into this land that God had promised.
The
Israelites’ conquest of Canaan is typical of Christians
entering into a glorious victor over the flesh in and
through Jesus Christ. But Joshua could only lead them so
far. He led them into the conquering of the land, but he
never brought them into a rest. That is something that was
reserved for Jesus Christ. Once Christ made the work of
salvation complete through His death upon the cross, He
brought rest in our salvation, our eternal life. Jesus has
done for us what Joshua could not do. Joshua brought them
into the land, not into the rest. Jesus has brought us a
glorious rest.
