4. Twelve Memorial Stones (Joshua 4: 1 - 7)
After the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, God commanded them to take twelve stones from the river where the priests, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the Lord of the whole world, stood, one for each tribe, and bring them to the place where they would lodge the night. Were these stones merely for memorial, or did they have another meaning? If so, what was it? Furthermore, what is the connection between these twelve memorial stones and those who are saved by grace today?
