3 Things In The Ark — Rooted In Failure 

1. A pot of manna: God’s provision that the people complained against.

2. Aaron’s rod: God’s appointed leadership that the people challenged.

3. The Ten Commandments: God’s holy standards that the people could not keep.

Joshua 3

Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan (Decsending), he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there (Why??!!) before they crossed over.

So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp; and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. 

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.”

And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify (prepare) yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people.”

So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you shall stand in the Jordan.’ ” So Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of the Lord your God.”

And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites: 

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan. Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from every tribe. And it shall come to pass,…

 …as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap.”

So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people, and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan,

and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows (20-40 mph mile wide)all its banks during the whole time of harvest) that the waters which came down from upstream stood still,

and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan (Their Distress) . So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

Joshua 4:18

…and the soles of the priests’ feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.    You are in Him and you are not going back!!!

Romans 3 :21-25 “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,  whom God set forth as a propitiation (mercy seat)  by His blood, through faith,…”

We can go to the place God has promised us.

He will miraculously bring us through every impassible situation.

Jesus passed before us and is the way for us to experience fullness.

Are you standing on the banks of an impossible situation.

Jesus has once and for all delivered you from every obstacle to His grace.

He delivered you and is with you.
