Joshua 4: Jesus Calls the Twelve&Builds a Memorial in the Jordan - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Warren Woerth, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Arnold, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Joshua 4.

Chapter 4 concludes the crossing of the Jordan River. Everything fits together still in the same theme of continuity: before the priests leave the river, Joshua calls the twelve representatives back into the Jordan to pick up twelve stones as a memorial, that their children would know what happened there that day.And it turns out that Joshua, before he had crossed, actually had set up a twelve-stone memorial in the middle of the river as well, right on the spot where the priests had stood. God had shown up in a holy way, and as Joshua honors God, God gives honor to Joshua: the Reubenites fulfill their vow and trust Joshua’s leadership. Our Lord Jesus has given us a saving memorial in His holy sacraments, and He has laid down the twelve apostles as memorial foundations for His church.
