As we continue our series on Finding Jesus in the Old Testament, we explore one of the clearest foreshadowings of Christ’s mercy and salvation—the Cities of Refuge in Numbers 35. These divinely appointed cities were places of safety where those who had unintentionally caused harm could flee for protection. But they weren’t just ancient legal structures; they were a prophetic picture of Jesus Christ, our ultimate refuge.
In this episode, we unpack:
✔ Why God established the Cities of Refuge and how they worked
✔ How they reveal God’s justice, mercy, and grace in both the Old and New Testaments
✔ The powerful connection to Jesus—our perfect and eternal refuge
✔ How salvation is freely available to all, but must be entered into to be received
Just as those seeking safety had to run to the city and stay within its walls, we, too, must run to Jesus and trust Him fully. The good news? Unlike the Cities of Refuge, where protection ended with the high priest’s death, our High Priest—Jesus—has already died and risen again, securing our salvation forever.
Are you resting in the refuge of Christ, or are you still running?
🔊 Listen now and find the peace, safety, and rest that only Jesus can give!
