Even Her?
October 26, 2012

Imagine looking through your family tree and finding this description of your ancestor: “A prostitute, she harbored enemies of the government in her house. When she was confronted by the authorities, she lied about it.”

What would you do about her? Hide her story from anyone inquiring about your family? Or spotlight and praise her in the legends of your family’s story?

Meet Rahab. If what we read about her in Joshua 2 were all we knew, we might lump her in with all of the other renegades and bad examples in the Bible. But her story doesn’t stop there. Matthew 1:5-6 reveals that she was King David’s great-great grandmother—and that she was in the lineage of our Savior, Jesus. And there’s more. Hebrews 11:31 names Rahab as a woman of faith who was saved from the fall of Jericho (see Josh. 6:17). And in James 2:25, her works of rescue were given as evidence of her righteous faith.

God’s love is amazing that way. He can take people with a bad reputation, transform their lives, and turn them into examples of His love and forgiveness. If you think you’re too bad to be forgiven or if you know someone else who feels that way, read about Rahab and rejoice. If God can turn her into a beacon of righteousness, there’s hope for all of us.

Redemption’s price our Savior paid
When all our sins on Him were laid;
He took our guilt, He bore our shame
That we may glorify His name. —D. DeHaan

Whether our sins are great or small,
Jesus is able to forgive them all.

Read: Joshua 2:1-14

Was not Rahab the harlot also justified? —James 2:25

Bible in a Year:
Luke 1-3

So many to choose from! Almost anything with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. This one is almost a cult classic!

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

Good evening, Hawaii...((HUGS))...I sure wish the FR gremlins would get banished. I’ve been having trouble since the debate.

We had sun today, but cold. Right now it is 23F outside.

Did your drizzlies go away? Sunshine?

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Night Owl! ((HUGS))br>having the same troubles as everyone else and the drizzle has passed by, the sun came out today. How long no one knows.....but it is appreciated.

Maybe the latest eruption had something to do with it.

One of my favorite Western films is “The Wind” (1928). This is a drama that takes place in a part of the West where the wind is always blowing—and no, it’s not Capitol Hill.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my...you’ve had a big event...

VERY cool picture!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand....my Mom called me at work about more bleeding. Had to get home during rush hour...what a mess. Not sure where it came from, but got it all cleaned up. I’ve been on Dad duty this evening. I’ll call the doc in the morning. Instead of half day off to take them for flu shots, I’ll take the morning off too.

When do the girls return?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nana Hope is first!!
