Josh 2: 17So
the men said to her: “We will be
blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us
swear, 18
unless, when we come into the
land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us
down, and
unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s
household to your own home. 19So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house
into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will
be guiltless….
The message was clear. Only inside the
house there is safety. Do NOT leave the house. The cord, and message of
salvation belongs in the house. When the entire wall came crushing down, one
part remained intact. That’s where the house of Rahab was.
Some people think: I don’t need the
church. I can just take the cord with me everywhere I go in the city, and the
cord will save me. No, the cord can only save you in the house. Salvation is
given to the church, and those in it. The house of Rahab represents the church.
Jesus said: I will build my church, and the gates of Hell shall NOT prevail
against it.
Don’t leave the church. Only in the church are you safe.
Don’t leave the church. Only in the church are you safe.
