I like Joshua from the Old Testament. Afterall, Jesus took on a form of his name, Yeshua. I believe Joshua was a shadow and type of Jesus. The first chapter and eighth verse in the book of Joshua, describes Joshua’s brave heart; This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8) Indeed, success is what the Lord granted Joshua because he had bold faith in his God. Joshua was chosen to lead God’s people out of the wilderness and into the promise land, but in order to obtain the promised land, there were many kinds of obstacles to overcome. Some of these obstacles included some tribes of peoples. Joshua’s great faith and his hearing ear to listen to God’s instructions lead him to the many victories the children of Israel experienced.
