Joshua 4:14 Make you great!

 14On that day the Lord exalted[b] Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.


b. Joshua 4:14 made Joshua great


“God fulfilled His promise to Joshua (Joshua 3:7), raising him up as a great leader for Israel, even as He had done for Moses.” (Guzik)


Joshua 3: 7And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt[d] you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. 


d. Joshua 3:7 make you great


Make you great!

Matthew 11:11 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater [in privilege] than he.


“As we may say, as a rule, that the darkest day is lighter than the brightest night; so John, though first of his own order, is behind the last of the new or Gospel order. The least in the Gospel stands on higher ground than the greatest under the law.” (Spurgeon)


Let that sink in, You were born again under the new covenant, so Jesus says the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he under the Old Testament law.


“The child who knows the story of the cross possesses a key to religious knowledge which patriarchs and prophets never enjoyed.” (Ryle)


Can you say, thank you Jesus?


Blessings
