Redeemed and Never Forsaken

Lindsay Clancy and Our Culture of Death
As the Apostle Paul writes from imprisonment, he exhorts the Christians in Colossae to have a fixed and heavenly mindset. He commands them to put to death what is earthly within them. They are not to return to the sinful passions that once held them in bondage, but to walk in truth, holiness, love, and the peace of Christ. They had been rescued from the domain of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. Therefore Paul writes, “Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”
After forty years of wandering in the wilderness because of the sin of unbelief, Joshua, who had faithfully served alongside Moses and commanded Israel’s army, was now called to lead the entire nation. He would succeed Moses and lead God’s people across the Jordan River into the land God had promised to Abraham centuries earlier.
