Better to Be in the Promised Land

Rev. Nate Hill, pastor at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Winchester, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Joshua 19:1-31. The tribes of Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar, and Asher are next in line to receive their inheritance within the Promised Land. Even though they do not receive their inheritance first, the fact that they are in the Promised Land in fulfillment of God’s Word is better than even having the best land elsewhere. A variety of places within these four tribes are important elsewhere in the Scriptures. Through sections like this part of Joshua 19, the LORD reminds us that He keeps His promises to bring a Savior to the whole world. “The Promised Land Delivered” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Joshua. After the death of Moses, the LORD remains with His people to bring them into the Promised Land under Joshua. Throughout the book, the LORD proves that not one of His Word falls unfulfilled. Today, the Church has the same confidence that all of God’s promises find their “Yes” in Christ.
