Israel’s journey parallels the believer’s life in Christ []

The journey of Israel is not merely the story of a people—it is the story of a Person: Jesus Christ. From Egypt to Canaan, every step they took was authored by the Spirit as a second telling of the life, death, resurrection, and glorification of the Son of God.

It is not about Israel as us—it is about Christ for us.

And it is about us only because we have been made to be like Him (1 John 3:2).

Their deliverance from Egypt reveals His triumph over sin and death.

Their wilderness wandering reflects His testing in the flesh, choosing the Father’s will over His own.

Their entrance into the land pictures His ascension into rest and inheritance.

This journey was written long before Jesus walked the earth—but it was always His path.

And now, by faith, we walk it in Him.

In this section, you’ll explore:

  • How Israel’s journey reveals Christ’s obedience and suffering
  • How their trials mirror His testing and victory
  • How their inheritance points to His glorification
  • And how, by grace, we are joined to His journey, made like Him by the Spirit

This is not moralism. This is not imitation.

This is union—with the One whose story was written into the Scriptures before time began.

Come see the journey of Israel as the journey of Jesus—and the journey He now shares with us.
