4:19-24
The date given is at the time of the Passover. The twelve memorial stones were set up at Gilgal. There would be difficult times ahead, as we all endure in life, and in those times we may wonder how and why we got here, should we be here? The stones would remind them that it was God who brought them here, and He would be with them if they trusted in Him. Joshua knew that future generations would need to know how and why they got there. Also their identity was in the Lord. They often forgot this and that is when things went wrong, when they went wrong. Likewise, it is crucial that we remember that our identity is in Christ, it is a God given identity. When we face various things in life they look very different when we remember who we are, that we belong to Christ.
