There are moments when reading Scripture doesn’t comfort us—it confronts us. The conquest of Canaan in Joshua 11–12 is one of those moments, raising deep and honest questions about the character of God, His justice, and His ways. How do we reconcile a God who is described as merciful and gracious with a God who commands judgment? As we come to the conclusion of our journey through Joshua, we are reminded that Scripture must be understood as a whole—not isolated moments, but a unified story revealing who God truly is. In this final message, we will wrestle with these difficult passages and discover that when rightly understood, they do not contradict God’s character but instead point us more clearly to His holiness, His justice, His patience, and ultimately, His mercy revealed most fully at the cross.
