This lesson from Joshua 20–21 explores the significance of the cities of refuge and Levitical cities in Israel’s spiritual and judicial life. God commanded the establishment of cities for two purposes: legal refuge for those who killed accidentally, and spiritual refuge through Levitical cities scattered across the land. These cities powerfully foreshadow Jesus Christ—our ultimate refuge, Redeemer, and source of forgiveness and rest. They illustrate God's justice, compassion, and desire to saturate His people with truth through accessible spiritual leaders. The lesson challenges believers to point others to Christ, live as spiritual signposts, and recognize that salvation is open to everyone who runs to Jesus in faith.
