• Caleb means, “all heart.” That is what the Lord Jesus was. Even God says in the Old Testament “My son, give Me thine heart.” A sinner is never told to give his heart to God. Preachers often say so; but there is nothing in scripture to warrant it. It is not what we bring, nor what we give up, but what we receive that makes the difference. So it says, “My son, give Me thine heart.” There is relationship; that is for the believer. (“Chapter 13.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
• Unbelief says, “We be not able to go up,” but Caleb says, “Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.” He knew what God could do. It is exactly the same with us, you see. It is not simply difficulties, but impossibilities that God can remove. (“Chapter 13.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
• The disciples felt they would need great faith to carry out the Lord’s instruction, so they said, “Increase our faith;” and the Lord said, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Mustard seed is called the smallest of all seeds (all cultivated seed; not all in creation); so the Lord says, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed.” So the great thing is to use the faith He has given. (“Chapter 13.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
• It may seem strange that so much is said about Caleb rather than Joshua; but Joshua is a type of the Lord Jesus Christ in the energy of the Holy Ghost. The first time he is brought before us is when Amalek came out in Exodus 17; and Moses, Aaron, Hur, and Joshua, all four, in that scene of battle between Israel and Amalek, were types of Christ. It takes all four to typify Him; and then it is only the shadow, and not the very image. The Intercessor is Moses; the High Priest is Aaron; we see the Advocate in Hur, and in Joshua, Christ the Leader leading His people to victory in the energy or the Holy Ghost. We have an Intercessor able to save to the very end, “all along the way” (Heb. 7:25). But we get no restoration in Hebrews. The priesthood of Christ is brought out there; and priesthood is not for restoration. It is to help us and succor us. He is able to sympathize with us, able to save to the end. (“Chapter 13.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
