SUNDAY SERMON - Christ’s Faithfulness In The Moment Of Our Death

Christ is the antitype of the ark. He is the only way to the heavenly Canaan. The way to glory through the Jordan River (a type of death) is an untrodden and trackless path. All men must eventually go through the river of death, but only once. And those who pass through it have never gone that way before. However, before crossing the Jordan, Israel was commanded to consecrate themselves. In the ceremonial sense, Israel was commanded to consecrate themselves by washing their bodies and clothes, as well as abstaining from relations with their wives. In the moral sense, Israel was commanded to consecrate themselves by prayer, meditation, and the repentance of sin. In order to pass through the river of death to the heavenly Canaan, believers must be sanctified. For without holiness, no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
