She Bound the Scarlet Line in the Window - Joshua 2:21

"Have you implicitly trusted in the precious blood of Jesus? Have you tied the scarlet cord, as with a Gordian knot in your window, so that your trust can never be removed? Or can you look out towards the Dead Sea of your sins, or the Jerusalem of your hopes, without seeing the blood, and seeing all things in connection with its blessed power? The passer-by can see a cord so conspicuous a color, if it hangs from the window: it will be well for you if your life makes the efficacy of the atonement conspicuous to all onlookers. What is there to be ashamed of? Let you or devils gaze if they will, the blood is your boast and your song. Soul, there is One who will see that scarlet line, even when from weakness of faith you cannot see it yourself; Jehovah, the Avenger, will see it and pass over you. Jericho's walls fell flat: Rahab's house was on the wall, and yet it stood unmoved; your nature is built into the wall of humanity, and yet when destruction smites the race, you shall be secure. Soul, tie the scarlet thread in the window afresh, and rest in peace." Spurgeon
