Have you ever wondered if you are good enough, have enough faith, or know enough about the Bible to be acceptable to God? I’m sure we all have at some point. The good news is that the writer of the book of Hebrews actually includes a prostitute in the Hall of Faith. In fact, one scholar argues that she is the most significant figure of faith in all of Hebrews 11.
This week, as we continue in our series “The Crimson Thread,” Pastor Jeff Moes takes a look at Rahab, the prostitute in Joshua 2. Rahab was the one who hid the spies and protected them when the king's men came looking for them. As a reward, Rahab and her family were told that they would be protected from the destruction of Jericho if they placed a “Crimson/Scarlett Cord” outside the window of their home.
This week, we want to look at Rahab’s faith: the simplicity of it, the sufficiency of it, and the legacy it produced for her entire family. Because if Rahab the prostitute can be made acceptable to God by grabbing hold and hiding behind a scarlet cord symbolizing the shed blood of Jesus, then so can you and me.
