RAHAB.
Rahab was a Prostitute living on the wall of Jericho. Here, she entertained many visitors from far Countries.
She was beautiful and carried much sex appeal to whoever would pay for her services. Her business brought much prosperity to her and her extended family, who lived in her house.
She was well aware of Israel’s victories and welcomed two spies to stay with her at her house.
This King knew they were with her and sent a message to bring out the men to him as they were Israelite spies.
Instead, through faith and courage, she hid them under drying flax on her rooftop and later allowed them to escape through her window on the open side of the wall, sending them in the opposite direction from the Soldiers.
She was well aware of the God of Israel, who had miraculously led them out of Egypt and who had opened the Red Sea for them to cross on dry ground. She heard about the conquest of the Amorites and King Og.
She also knew of the dread of the vicious Army that permeated the people of Jericho.
She chose the Lord God Jehovah as the God she could trust and rely upon for the remainder of her life.
Upon the spies’ promised vow, she hung a scarlet cord of safety out of her window to remind them that when the army came, her house would not be plundered.
Her daring faith saved her and her family from utter destruction.
Rahab and her family were accepted into the House of Israel, and she became a mother in Israel.
Did she marry one of the spies? Romantics would like to think so!
She is included in Matthew’s Genealogy of Jesus, highlighting the Messiah’s importance.
This story of Rahab’s redemption speaks to us today, no matter our station in life.
The Lord God is gracious and long-suffering and very willing to forgive, save, and deliver you from the vilest of sin. He restores the repentant sinner as if he had never sinned at all. Think about the thief on the cross! The prodigal son!
He promises …
“Your sins and iniquities I will not remember anymore.”
You come to Him through His Son Jesus Christ the Lord who paid the price for your sin.
You put your faith in Him to cleanse you from all sin and make you His own special treasure.
With Christ in your life, you have the chance and privilege to begin a brand new life and enjoy a successful ending with Him.
This world offers many different types of things to trust.
You cannot go wrong if your faith is rooted in the Word of God. Act now to receive more in Jesus’s Name.
Amen.
