NO OPPOSITION
Joshua 1:5
No man shall be able to oppose you all the days of your life, and as I was with Moses, thus I will be also with you. I will not forsake you nor disregard you.
Encouraging Words
Joshua has been considered a type, or image, of Christ in the Old Testament by the early church fathers. What does this mean? We are to look at the stories about him and his life and how they point us to the reality of Christ. Here, Moses is a representation of the old covenant, which is the law. He cannot enter into the new kingdom and is handing the baton to Joshua to conquer the new land that was promised to His children. He represents the image of the new covenant moving forward. That image points to Christ, the new covenant, who has conquered death, and is continuing to conquer sin for us as He builds His new kingdom. This is the story behind the story! Glory be to God!
