1As soon as all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea,heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over,their hearts melted and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.
The Lord is faithful to his promises.
God’s people respond to his grace with thankful obedience.
Sacraments are important signs and seals of God’s promises, and therefore must not be neglected.
