The character of Caleb points to the Christ or is a “Type” of Christ in these remarkable ways
1. Caleb wholly followed the Lord, Joshua 14:8. Jesus was obedient to the point of death - Philippians 2:8
2. Caleb defeated the strongest enemy in the land of Canaan, Joshua 14:15. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8
3. Caleb claimed Hebron to be his (Hebron: a special place in the history of Israel), Joshua 14:13. Jesus reclaimed the entire earth as His, Revelation 11:15
4. Caleb lived 45 years on the promise from God through Moses, Joshua 14:12. Jesus submitted Himself to the Word of God His entire life, Matthew 4:4
5. Caleb gave a generous inheritance to his family, Joshua 15:13-19. Through Jesus, we have every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, Ephesians 1:3
Question: Are you and I living our life as a “reflection” of The Christ?
