We have traveled through the desert in the pilgrimage of this land and we are about to reach the heavenly Canaan. We have already experienced all kinds of trials but we have also seen the wonders of God. Many have died in the desert and now we are a new generation that will have the opportunity to receive their promised inheritance.
Time has passed and the final test is crossing the river of vicissitudes of the last few days. Humanly it is impossible to cross it, because the fight is not against flesh and blood, but against powers of darkness. The worst thing is that we carry a lot of load with us: our tents, coats, food and some other things that only we know we carry. Who will help us cross the Jordan River? Do we have to leave every obstacle on this side to enter Canaan? My decision is firm, my family and I will serve God and cross the Jordan with his power and by the grace of God.
The author of Hebrews mentions: "We also, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besieges us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us" (12:1). E. G. White comments on this passage as follows:
The epistle to the Hebrews points out the absorbing purpose that should characterize the Christian race for eternal life [...]. Envy, malice, bad thoughts, bad words, greed: these are weights that the Christian must lay down to successfully run the race of immortality. Every habit or practice that leads to sin or dishonoring Christ must be abandoned, whatever the sacrifice (E. G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 251).
To cross the Jordan, we need to leave all the burden in this world, and fill ourselves with the energy and light of the gospel. We must fix our gaze on Christ, and let him guide us to cross the river. Only in him there are strengths, abilities, vision and miracles to cross every storm and, finally, touch the new earth.
Let us approach Christ today and, with a supplicating heart before the throne of grace, ask him to accept us as we are, to cleanse us with his blood shed on the cross and to keep us firm until we reach Canaan.
