Lift up Jesus

"Haven't you read this scripture: "'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes?" (Mark 12:10-11)

Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you." Joshua said to the priests, "Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people." So they took it up and went ahead of them. And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses. (Jos 3:5-7)

Interpretation: Joshua is a picture of Jesus Christ of the Old Testament, so is the ark of the covenant. The priests are the church, the believers in Christ of the New Testament. In the last day which is today... Jesus said to the church, "Lift Me up and pass on ahead of the people." And the LORD said to Jesus, "Today I will exalt You in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses". Let us all lift up Jesus and exalt Him, let His light so shined before all Israel that they may know He is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior of the world... the One they rejected and that God is and was with Him as was with Moses. Jesus is the Christ! Hear Him!
