The King of kings // Joshua 10:16–27

Joshua’s decisive victory over the five kings of Canaan shows the power and confidence that strong leadership produces among God’s people. But Joshua’s triumph points to a far greater King—Jesus Christ. While Joshua conquered enemies in battle, Jesus first came in humility, suffering and dying to make a way for sinners to be saved. Today He reigns with all authority in heaven and patiently waits for people to repent before He returns in power to judge the nations and establish His kingdom. The question for us is simple: Will we trust, wait for, and submit to the true King of kings?
