Title: The Crimson Thread (4 of 29)
Series: Walking in Victory- Lessons in Triumphant Christian Living
Author: Mike Stone
Text: Joshua 2:1-24
Canaan is not a picture of heaven. God wants His people to live in spiritual Canaan right NOW. Not later...NOW.
Canaan is a picture of victory. It is symbolic and typical of the victorious Christian life. It is a picture of the maturity and victory God wants for each of His people. And that victory begins with salvation. It starts with a scarlet thread.
There is indeed a "scarlet thread" that is woven through the fabric of the Bible. It's the color of blood, the blood of Jesus Christ. The thread begins before the world's foundation but first emerges in Genesis and continues through the Revelation.
In Genesis 3, the thread appears in the Garden of Eden. In Revelation 4, John saw a Lamb standing as though it were slain
In Genesis 4 we see it with the rejection of Cain's sacrifice. Cain was the first to reject that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. In Revelation 5, "Worthy are You, O Lord to receive the scroll and to break its seals for You were slain and with Your blood You have purchased men for God from every tribe, nation, language, and people."
In Genesis 15, we see blood with the cutting of the Abrahamic covenant. In Revelation 7, "These are they who've come out of great tribulation and have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb."
The thread reappears in Genesis 22 at the top of Mt. Moriah with a freed sinner and a slain sacrifice. While Revelation 12 speaks of victory and says, "They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony."
This scarlet thread emerges in Exodus at the Passover, in Leviticus at the tabernacle and in seemingly innumerable places all over the Bible. But none is any clearer than here in Joshua 2.
Watch this thread hanging out the window of a repentant harlot in Jericho. And notice how it shows us three things about the sc ...
