Aim: To understand that the scarlet cord reminds us of the Lord's love and sacrifice of Christ on our behalf.
Exegesis: The scarlet cord should remind us of the Lord's trustworthiness. His honor emboldens us (v. 14), liberates us (v. 15), and guards us (v. 16). The scarlet cord should remind us of the Lord's redemption. He seals us (vv. 17-18), shepherds us (vv. 19-20), and secures us (v. 21), His people. The scarlet cord should remind us of the Lord's victory. He frustrates our enemies (v. 22) and strengthens our cause (vv. 23-24).
Key verse: v. 2 ''Then [Rahab] said, 'According to your words, so be it.' And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window.''
