We cover Joshua chapters 11–12 and consider God's faithfulness in giving rest to His people—a rest that finds its fulfillment in Christ. Canaan's armies rose against Israel with hardened hearts; later, hardened crowds would cry out for Christ's death. Israel saw the ruin that sin brought on the land; later, Christ would willingly be crushed for the sins of all His children. Israel found a temporary peace in the land—yet Christ has come, that his people may have true and lasting peace. Christ is Risen!
