Episode Synopsis

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore. (Joshua 3:4) *1/ The uniqueness of the way before the children of Israel. 2/ How they were to know the way. 3/ A way we must go like them - following Christ.* *A Lord's day afternoon service in the lounge of Milward Pilgrim Home, Tunbridge Wells Kent.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the crossing of the Jordan River as a profound spiritual type of the believer's journey through death into eternal life, emphasizing that this path—though unknown and unprecedented—is made possible by God's sovereign guidance and miraculous provision. Drawing from Joshua 3, it highlights the unique nature of this transition, not merely a movement through the wilderness but a divine passage into the Promised Land, symbolizing the believer's entry into heaven. The people were to follow the Ark of the Covenant, representing Christ, whose presence and power parted the waters and secured their safe passage, even when He seemed distant and unseen. The message underscores that faith does not require constant clarity or closeness to Christ, but rather a steadfast focus on Him as the way, truth, and life, trusting that He goes before us and will provide grace in the hour of death. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to keep Christ in view, even in uncertainty, knowing that His victory over death ensures our safe arrival in the eternal inheritance.
