As we turn to the study of our text we find ourselves being greatly encouraged and comforted by the fact that just as the great lawgiver, Moses, assured the people of Israel, corporately, and Joshua, personally, that in the same way in which the Lord had been with them in the past He would surely be with them in the future, so too, by the grace and mercy of God, through faith in the Name of Jesus, and by the Person and power of His Holy Spirit, the Church our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, corporately, and each and every Christian, individually, can also rest and rejoice in time and for all eternity in The Promise of His Presence! |
