Rahab

As we read the first couple of chapters of Joshua today in Sunday school, we talked about the spies' escape from Jericho. Rahab hid the spies because she believed in the Promise (Genesis 12 & 15). But what I thought was really nifty was the scarlet cord she used to sneak the spies out of the city, letting them down from the window on the city wall. It was almost like Passover, what with the red sign marking the entry into the home, and the red sign meant everyone in that household would be spared.

See, His blood doth mark our door.
Faith points to it;
Death passes o'er,
And Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia!
