“And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him … as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot [know] not what is become of him” (Exodus 32:1).

“And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the Lord, that He had done for Israel” (Joshua 24:31).

Perhaps you wonder why I have put these two verses together in today’s meditation, but there is definitely a connection between them. Let me try and explain it to you, and the lesson we can learn from these verses.

Some people like to be leaders, but most of us like to follow a good leader. This is true even in natural things. People like to follow a good boss at work, and they like to follow a good leader at the head of their country, whether a prime minister, a president, or a king. We also like a leader in spiritual things — someone who guides us in our Christian walk. This is especially true when we are young, for we often look for a “hero” whose life and character appeals to us. We see from our verses that this happened among the Israelites too.

They had good leaders, first of all in Moses, whom the Lord used to lead them out of the land of Egypt, and then Joshua, whom the Lord used to lead them into the land of Canaan. But what happened? Sadly, the people became occupied with the leader more than the Lord! When Moses stayed up in Mount Sinai for forty days, the people ended up making an idol out of gold — an idol like a calf! Then later, they followed the Lord as long as Joshua was alive, and the elders that outlived Joshua. But then it is recorded that “there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord” (Judges 2:10), and they began to worship idols again.

Why did the later generation not know the Lord? It was because they had looked to leaders whom the Lord gave them, instead of to the Lord Himself. Yes, God provides leaders to His people, and today He still gives us leaders and guides to help us. But no leader should take the place of the Lord. Those leaders can be a big help to us, but only when they help us to have a closer relationship with the Lord. Then, if the leader dies, or moves away, we can look directly to the Lord, and seek guidance from Him.

This is a most important lesson to learn when you are young. You may follow good leaders, and their example can be a big encouragement to us. However, if we get our eyes on them instead of the Lord, then, when the leader is gone, we will not be able to follow the Lord. Somehow we will think we need a human leader to follow, and if that leader is not there, we will seem lost. But the Lord wants us to have a direct relationship with Him. Then we will still be thankful for good leaders, but the Lord will be more important to us than the leader. If the leader is no longer there, we will only be drawn closer to the Lord, who will never disappear!

“And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai … they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us … And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them … And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours” (Joshua 9:3, 6, 15-16).

If you read this whole chapter (Joshua 9), you will see that when Joshua and the Israelites began to conquer the land of Canaan, no one could stand before them. The two cities of Jericho and Ai were both defeated. A group called the Gibeonites decided to deceive Joshua and the others in Israel by pretending to have come a long journey from a faraway place. They wore old shoes and clothes, brought mouldy bread with them, and brought old wine bottles with them. Then they asked Joshua to make a league (a peace treaty) with them, and to let them live. Joshua and the Israelites believed them, but it says clearly that they “asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord” (Josh. 9:14). The Israelites made a league with the Gibeonites to let them live, and swore an oath in the name of the Lord. A few days later they found out that the Gibeonites had not come from a faraway place, but were actually some of the Canaanites whom the Lord had told the Israelites to destroy. However, since they had sworn to them in the name of the Lord, they could not touch them. They had to let them live, although they made them servants to cut wood and draw water (Joshua 9:27).

What lesson do we learn from this story? This is actually the second time that Joshua had neglected to go to the Lord for guidance. If you read about the city of Ai in Joshua 7 and 8, you will see that Israel decided by themselves how to go and fight against Ai, without consulting the Lord. But a man named Achan had sinned and had taken some valuable things from the city of Jericho, which the Lord had told them not to do. Joshua did not know this, but if he had looked to the Lord for guidance, the Lord would have told him. Now, with the Gibeonites, once again they acted without asking the Lord what to do, and ended up believing a lie. The Gibeonites remained in the congregation of Israel, and there was trouble with them hundreds of years later, in the reign of King Saul.

It is very important in our lives always to ask the Lord for guidance in any decision that we make. If you get used to doing this when you are young, it will become a habit, and you will continue to do it all your life. We may hear something that seems good to us, or we may read something that impresses us. Someone may give us some advice that we like, and perhaps we think we should act on it. But it is always good to ask the Lord what to do. He knows best, and He will never guide us in the wrong way.

“And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them” (Acts 4:23).

Most people in this world like to be in the company of those with whom they feel at home. We may have to interact with strangers in our work, and perhaps we enjoy meeting new people from time to time. However, we all have those with whom we feel comfortable, and whose company we enjoy.

Even animals are like this, especially dogs. As you probably know, they have an unusual ability to find their way home, even if they are a long way from those they love. The farthest recorded distance that a dog has traveled to get back home is 3,218 km. across Australia. That is about 2,000 miles! We do not understand how a dog could find his way for that long distance, but God has given them that special ability.

Among the early Christians, as recorded in the book of Acts, there was often persecution, as various leaders among the Jews tried to stop the preaching of the gospel. On the occasion recorded in Acts 4, Peter and John had just healed a crippled man through the name of the Lord Jesus, and it had caused many to believe on Him. The Jewish leaders were upset about this, and commanded them not to speak in the name of the Lord Jesus.

As soon as they were released, we read in our verse for today that Peter and John “went to their own company” and told them what had happened. Together the whole group prayed to the Lord, asking Him to give them boldness to speak the word of the Lord. The Lord was with them, and the place where they were together was actually shaken, as a sign of the Lord’s power in supporting them.

This chapter shows us the two sides of our Christianity. On the one hand, as we have said, it is nice to be with our “own company,” among other Christians. We are all believers in the Lord Jesus, and we enjoy the same things. On the other hand, we are also to go out and speak to this world, telling them about the Lord Jesus. This is the way that others will be saved, and will also become part of our “own company.” We should do both of these things in our Christian life; we need the company of other believers, but we need to be a witness to this world too.

“And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, it is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians” (Exodus 12:26-27).

The Israelites kept the Passover the night the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt and delivered the Israelites. But they were told to keep it every year, as a remembrance of what the Lord had done for them, and how He had passed over them because of the blood on the door.

As time went on, children would be born who did not remember the first Passover, and of course they would ask what it meant, when their parents kept it every year. Their parents were to explain to them how the Lord passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, but killed all the firstborn of the Egyptians. Then the children would in turn explain it to their children, and so on throughout many generations.

Sadly, the Israelites did not keep the Passover every year, as they were asked to do. As time went on, they turned away from the Lord and worshiped idols. Sometimes they had an ungodly king who brought idols into the country, and then they did not keep the Passover. At other times it seems that they simply got careless and forgot about it. We can be thankful for the times that they did keep it, but there were many years when it was not kept.

Perhaps some of you go with your parents to a meeting on Lord’s day where they remember the Lord Jesus in His death, using a loaf of bread and a cup of wine. We no longer keep the Passover, but rather the Lord Jesus showed His disciples how to remember Him with a loaf of bread and a cup of wine. If you do not understand all this, you should do as the Israelite children did; they asked their parents what the Passover meant. You can ask your parents what the remembrance of the Lord means. The Lord Jesus values it very much when we remember all that He did for us, in dying for us on the cross.

“Now His [the Lord Jesus’] parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when He [the Lord Jesus] was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast” (Luke 2:41-42).

We do not know for sure at what age the parents of the Lord Jesus started to take Him up to Jerusalem to keep the Passover, but we do know that He went up at the age of twelve. People did not travel much in those days, so it was probably quite an event for children to make that kind of a trip. They likely enjoyed traveling with their friends, for most people probably walked in those days, although some might have had donkeys on which to ride. We know that when the parents of the Lord Jesus started home after the Passover, and did not see their son the Lord Jesus, they just assumed that he was with others in the company, and were not concerned until they had traveled a whole day. While those Jewish people surely appreciated the significance of the Passover, the children probably liked a trip to “the big city” of Jerusalem.

But have you ever thought of what the Lord Jesus must have been thinking as He kept the Passover, even as a boy? Although I am sure that He behaved as a perfect twelve-year-old boy, yet He could say to His parents, when His mother scolded Him a little for staying behind in Jerusalem, “Wist ye not [didn’t you know] that I must be about my Father’s business?” (Luke 2:49). As God, He understood perfectly that one day He would be the true Passover. One day He would suffer and die, so that the matter of sin would be settled once and for all. We want to say all this very reverently, but we can only imagine what thoughts must have gone through His heart, even as a boy, as He saw those lambs killed every year. For the Jews, it was celebrating the fact that their firstborns had not been killed on that night back in Moses’ time, when the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt. But for the Lord Jesus, all this was also a picture of His death on the cross.

“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7).

When the Israelites kept the Passover, they probably did not realize the full meaning of it. Yes, they knew that if they put the blood on the door, they would be safe inside, and the firstborn in that house would not be killed. Later on, when the Lord gave them the law through Moses, they learned the importance of sacrifices in which blood was shed. However, the full importance of the Passover was not brought out until the New Testament.

As we see in our verse for today, the Apostle Paul could remind those in Corinth that “even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.” This shows that the Passover was a picture of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, for He was the true Lamb of God. When John the Baptist first saw the Lord Jesus, He said by inspiration, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). All those lambs that were offered every year when the Passover was kept could not take sin away permanently; they rather looked on to the Lord Jesus, who was the true Passover.

History tells us that at the time the Lord Jesus was here on this earth, the population of the city of Jerusalem was about 55,000 people. However, it is estimated that at Passover time, there were about 180,000 people in the city. They came from many areas around Jerusalem, to keep the Passover there. Can you imagine that number of extra people in the city? They did not have hotels and other accommodation the way we have today, and even today, more than 100,000 extra people coming into a city of that size would make many problems — water, places to stay, toilets, garbage disposal, etc. You can picture it, and smell it! Somehow they all had to find places to sleep at night, and food to eat.

Can you imagine the number of lambs that were slaughtered every year at that time? Every family would have had a lamb, so thousands would have been sacrificed. The narrow lanes of that city would have been crowded with lambs being led along. Yet those sacrifices “can never take away sins” (Hebrews 10:11). But the Lord Jesus, “after He had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:12). The work was done, and God was fully satisfied. His Son was the true Passover.

“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months … it is the Lord’s passover” (Exodus 12:2, 11).

Probably all of you have heard of the Passover, which the Israelites first kept more than 3,500 years ago. But have you ever thought of where the term “passover” came from? The word teaches us something about how God works in both love and holiness.

The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for about 200 years, and the Egyptians had made life very hard for them. They had been compelled to make bricks for Pharaoh, in order to build treasure cities. There were taskmasters over them who made them work hard, and sometimes those taskmasters beat them to make them work harder.

But the time came when God was going to deliver them, and bring them out of Egypt into the land of Canaan, where they would be a free nation. In the first few chapters of Exodus, you can read about all the plagues that the Lord brought upon Egypt, in order to persuade Pharaoh to let the people go. But sadly, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and even though the land of Egypt was devastated by those plagues, yet Pharaoh would not let the people of Israel go.

Eventually the Lord said that He would bring one last judgment on Egypt. He said that “all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die” (Exodus 11:5). There would be a night when the Lord would pass through the land of Egypt, and in every house the firstborn would be killed. However, what about the Israelites? Could the Lord kill all the firstborn of the Egyptians, and simply leave the Israelites alone? No, for the Israelites were sinners too, and deserved the judgment of God. This is where the Passover comes in.

God told the Israelites that they were to take a lamb and keep it from the tenth to the fourteenth day of the month. Then, in the evening of that fourteenth day they were to kill that lamb, and put its blood on the two side posts and the upper door post of their houses. It was on that fourteenth night that the Lord was go through the land of Egypt, and kill all the firstborn. The Lord said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you” (Exodus 12:13). This is where the word “passover” comes from, for the Lord passed over those houses where the blood was on the door. Tomorrow we will see the significance of that blood.

“That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God” (1 Peter 4:2).

How long is the rest of your time in this world? How long is the rest of my time here? We have to admit that none of us knows the answer to this question. Most of you who are reading this devotional are probably young, and if the Lord does not come, you expect to have many years ahead of you in your life down here. But things do not always turn out that way.

More than fifty years ago I was working in the emergency room of the Hospital for Sick Children in downtown Toronto. An ambulance brought in a beautiful young girl who was only twelve years old. She had been walking home from school with her friends, and a boy teased her with a large black rubber spider. She squealed and jumped back … right onto the street in front of a cement truck. We did all we could to save her life, but she was too badly hurt. At only twelve years of age, she died.

I am sure that she did not expect to die that day. She was healthy, and probably left her home that morning feeling good. But before the day had ended, the “rest of her time” had ended too.

Tragedies like this remind us of two things. First of all, it is important to know the Lord Jesus as our Savior, and to be ready if we are called to die. That girl had no chance to accept Christ at the last minute, and I hope she knew the Lord Jesus.

But there is also a lesson for us who are saved. We too have some time in this world, but none of us knows how much time is “the rest of our time.” Are we using it for the Lord, in order to have treasure in heaven, or are we wasting our time? Let us make the best use of our time down here, for how we use our time here will affect us in eternity.

“See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men” (1 Thessalonians 5:15).

When someone has done something wrong to us, our first thought naturally is to find some way of doing something bad to them. The world has a saying, “Don’t get mad: get even!” If we do not respond in this way, we may be looked upon as cowards or “wimps.” This is true of individuals and is true of nations as well. If one nations fires missiles at another nation, the nation that is attacked will usually fire some missiles back, or perhaps find some other way of taking revenge.

Once again we find that God’s wisdom for us as believers is the exact opposite of human wisdom. When the Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, they were new Christians who had believed on the Lord Jesus only a short while before. They had been idol worshipers, but now they knew the Lord Jesus. Paul gave them a lot of basic instruction about their behavior as Christians, and one thing he told them, as we see in our verse for today, was never to do something evil to someone who had done something wrong to them. They were always to follow that which was good.

When we do this, it does not make us look like cowards, but rather displays the grace and love of God, and opens the door for us to tell people about the Lord Jesus. If they have done something bad to us just because they do not like us, then treating them well will often make them ashamed of what they have done. We can leave the matter of the wrong done to us with the Lord. He has said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay” (Romans 12:19). If those who have wronged us never repent of it, and never come to Christ, the Lord will repay them in a coming day, and we can leave all that to Him.

“In the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5).

“The Gentiles, which have not the law … shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness” (Romans 2:14-15).

“Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly” (Hebrews 13:18).

Among Christians and even out in the world, we often speak of our conscience, but do you really know what our conscience is? Normally we think of it as that part of us that enables us to tell right from wrong, and that is true. But did you know that man did not always have a conscience?

When God created Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden, they were innocent, and did not have any thought of good or evil. When Satan tempted Eve to disobey God and eat the forbidden fruit, he told her that if she did so, she would know good and evil. This was true, for Satan often mixes truth with a lie. But Adam and Eve did not need to know good and evil; God had made them so that they did not have to think about such things.

However, when they sinned, they acquired a conscience, and had a sense of good and evil. As the Bible says, immediately they knew they were naked. Since then, every man and woman has had a conscience, with some sense of right and wrong. That is why God says in Romans 2 that the Gentiles, who had no law, have a law written in their hearts, for their conscience tells them right from wrong. Also, the author of the book of Hebrews (probably the Apostle Paul) asks them to pray for him, that he might live with a good conscience.

Since we have a conscience, people sometimes say, “Let your conscience be your guide.” Is this good advice? Not really, for in order to work properly, our conscience needs the light of the Word of God. Yes, we all have some sense of right and wrong, but without the guidance of God’s Word, it is easy to persuade ourselves that it is all right to do something wrong.

Our conscience is really like our eyes. We may have good eyes, but if we are in a totally dark room, our eyes cannot see. We need the light in order for our eyes to see properly. In the same way our conscience needs the light of God’s Word so that it will work properly.

When we do something wrong, our conscience bothers us, and that is good. Before we are saved, God uses our conscience to show us that we are sinners. After we are saved, God uses our conscience to convict us if we have sinned. But again, our conscience works properly only if it is guided by God’s Word.
