With all the news of wars and other terrible things happening in the world, doesnt it make you think about finding a place of safety?In our Bible lesson today, thats just what a certain family was needingA PLACE OF SAFETY! 小朋友们, 在这个世界上我们常常会听到打仗的消息, 或者一些可怕的事情发生, 这些事常常让我们想到如果有一个绝对安全的地方该多好啊!我们今天圣经故事里正要讲到这样一个安全的地方。 Last time we learned that the people of Israel had a new leader! Do you remember his name?And do you remember how many people were in the nation of Israel at that time?Yes, Joshua was preparing to lead about 2 million people across the Jordan River to their long-awaited homeland, the land of Canaan. 上一次的故事里我们知道以色列人有了一个新的领袖!你还记得他的名字吗?你还记得那时的以色列有多少人吗?是的, 他们的新领袖约书亚正准备带200万以色列人过约旦河, 进到他们长久以来盼望的家乡：迦南地。 But first, Joshua sent two spies across the Jordan. They were to go to the city of Jericho, and secretly investigate the land. Jericho was a beautiful city of palm trees and flowers, but it was also a very sinful city. People there worshipped idols, and even sometimes murdered their own children because they thought it would please the idols! How wicked! As the two spies from Israel quietly entered the city gate that evening, they made note of the huge double wall. |
