Lesson Overview
The story of Joshua and Jericho (Joshua 1:1-18; 6:1-27) presents a sophisticated theological portrait of God’s dealings with humanity. The central theme — when god commands, obedience brings victory — has implications for understanding God’s sovereignty, human responsibility, and the unfolding plan of redemption. When understood in its canonical context, this passage points forward to Christ and has direct implications for how we live as disciples in a fallen world.
Connection to the Gospel
God won Jericho by His power, not Israel’s strength. Our battles are won through Christ’s power, not our own (2 Corinthians 10:4).
