Revelation of God the Son

Joshua 21:1–42 (ESV)

1 Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel.

What does Joshua 21 reveal about what God does in my place and on my behalf (the work of the Son)? God the Son redeems me from the curse of the law, a curse which means exile from God’s presence. Because he is cursed in my place, I can be forgiven and receive blessing. By his grace, the Lord has worked to make me part of his family even though I do not deserve to be counted amongst his people.
