Rahab—Grace at work

A Christmas Message:  By faith through grace, a most unlikely person was accepted into God’s kingdom.  Even more astounding, this person was in the genealogical line of Jesus.  This person is a woman. A woman of ill repute. She is mentioned by name in Hebrews 11, the chapter of faith.

Salmah was Jewish, Rahab Gentile.  Boaz was Jewish, Ruth was Gentile.  Each of enemy territories.  Both women became Jews.  Heaven will have all tribes, nations and tongues.  all reckoned by faith in Jesus, a Jew.  Born in Bethlehem of Judah in modern day West Bank.

Scriptures:  Joshua 2;  Hebrews 11:31;  James 2:25;  Matthew 1
