Profile: Rahab
Now, let’s do a profile on Rahab’s life.
Let’s look at the LOGOS “divine reason or word of God.”
Rahab’s Story
Joshua 2:1-24; Hebrews 11:31.
In Hebrews 11:31, it says that Rahab did not perish with the disobedient because of what she did by faith. Her heart melted in fear of the Lord, but by faith, it was rebuilt strong again. Rahab’s faith saves the spies, saves Israel, and saves her family. In the process, Rahab also gains a special role in God’s story.
Hebrew word for Rahab: It means pride or arrogance and storming against someone or something.
Quick Facts:
Born: Jericho
Children: Boaz
Profession: Spy, female prostitute
Famous For: Helping the Israelite spies.
What did we learn from this Bible character?
Rahab was doing her own thing, but she chose to side with God and help His people.
Here comes the RHEMA WORDS, which are the “spoken word of God.”
There are many Rehabs in the world today. Harlots, whores, etc. These poor ladies are being used for human or sex-trafficking purposes.
What can be done to free these women? Answer: Thank you, Lord, for non-profit organizations like A21.org.
I like the fact that she did something about her sit-ma-tion or situation. She could have stayed down and defeated and depressed.
By saying, “I’m always going to be a slut, a ho, a hooker, I’ll never going to among to anything, and I’ll never be respected in the community.” But I’m grateful Jesus stepped in, wrote on the ground, and reached her level. I’m talking about the woman who was caught in adultery; John 8:1-12.
And give her back her self-respect.
This is just a brief synopsis of…
