Rev. Jason Kaspar, pastor at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in La Grange, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Joshua 24:16-33. The people respond to Joshua’s charge by promising their faithfulness, which is the right response. Joshua reminds them that such faithfulness is only possible through the LORD’s faithfulness to them; Israel must not place their hope in their own willpower. Joshua says that Israel’s answer will be a witness against them, and he sets up a stone as a witness as well. If Israel falls into unfaithfulness, these witnesses may serve as an opportunity to call them to repentance. Joseph’s bones are finally buried in accordance with his instructions as a reminder of the hope of the resurrection to come. The death of Joshua and Eleazar at the end of the book of Joshua remind us that even with the faithfulness of these men, the Savior is still coming. Therefore, we keep reading the Scriptures to meet Him when He comes: Jesus Christ. “The Promised Land Delivered” is a series on Sharpe
