Finding Grace in Unexpected Places and Among Unlikely People: The Story of Rahab (Joshua 2)

MGrace often shows up where we least expect it and among the most unlikely people. In this first story of Israel's occupation of the land beyond the Jordan, the people of Israel are saved by a most unlikely hero - Rahab the prostitute. She is a woman, a Canaanite, a prostitute, and she lies to protect the spies. Yet, she is celebrated in the New Testament as a hero of faith. The fact that Christians believe that grace is found in a cross (an unexpected place) through an impoverished peasant - a crucified Messiah (an unlikely person) - should cause to pay more careful attention to what God is doing in unexpected places and among unlikely people.
