The Scarlet Line in the Window - Part 2 of 2

“She bound a scarlet line in the window” (Joshua 2:21).

As we consider this portion of scripture, we first see service. The spies were sent into the city of Jericho. We then see providence. They were led to a woman who would help them. Then we see faith. How unexpected to find a woman with faith in this pagan city. Now we see grace.  A display of God’s sovereign grace bestowed on a great sinner. Then, safety. Rahab lived in a condemned city but she is safe because of God’s great mercy. Next, we see transformation. She was changed by grace so that her name appears in Hebrews 11:31. And finally, testimony. She hung the scarlet chord out the window.
