The Cities of Refuge (Joshua 20-21)

About this episode

Share a comment

Where do you go when you need safety, forgiveness, and hope? In ancient Israel, God established cities of refuge—safe havens for those in desperate need of protection. But these cities were more than just places of legal asylum; they were a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the ultimate refuge for all who seek Him.

In this episode, explore how God designed these cities to reveal His justice, mercy, and plan for redemption. Learn how the role of the Levites, the avenger of blood, and the clear road signs pointing to these cities all illustrate the gospel message. Discover how this ancient practice still speaks powerfully today and what it means for your relationship with Christ.

If you’ve ever felt lost, pursued by sin, or in need of a place to run, this message will show you the way to safety. Listen now and find out how you can take refuge in the Savior today!
