Numbers 14:1-45
The problems continue. The problems increase (Numbers 14:1-4). Again,
there is the Word of encouragement - "this time from Joshua, as well as
Caleb" (Numbers 14:5-9). The people bring judgment upon themselves.
They will not enter the promised land. Of the older generation, only
faithful Caleb and Joshua were to enter the land. They would lead the
next generation into the land of promise, thus fulfilling the Lord's
promise of grace, which is always free grace - but it's never cheap
grace. Grace is freely given by the Lord - but it can never be taken
for granted by us. This point - not taking God's grace for granted -
becomes clear in Numbers 14:39-45.
