Call To Courage

The Lord called Joshua to lead Israel after the death of Moses, exhorting him over and over "be strong and very courageous."

 

Our calling in Christ is a mirror image of this transition, where the deliverer sent to us by God is "taken away" and the SPIRIT that empowered the ministry given to Moses/Jesus has now come to empower Joshua/us to walk in the way God has prepared for us, to INHERIT the promise.
