The Cities Of Refuge Example

- Roads were cleared, rivers bridged, and elders inspected routes yearly to ensure safe passage.
Gospel As Immediate Refuge
- The gospel is portrayed as a near and accessible refuge, like the cities of refuge in Canaan.
- Jesus is a present Savior and the way to Him is direct: believe and live.
Promises Remove Stumbling Blocks
