Joshua 4:22
“Then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.”
What does Joshua 4:22 mean?
When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the promised land, God held back the water so they could walk across on dry ground, a miracle as stunning as the Red Sea crossing. Joshua is instructing the people to tell their children about this moment, making sure the story doesn't fade with time. He's recognizing something true about faith: what we've witnessed of God's power needs to be passed down, talked about, and kept alive in the hearts of the next generation. When we share what God has done with those who come after us, we're not just telling history, we're building a foundation of trust that can carry people through their own hard seasons.
