WE may take the meaning of the names of the Cities of Refuge as illustrating the protection that Christ gives, and the kind of refuge Christ is (Num. 35; Josh. 20, 21)

  1. “Kedesh.” Kedesh means holy or separated. Christ is a Holy Refuge, and He is made such to His people (1 Cor. 1:30).
  2. “Shechem.” Shechem means shoulder, or strength. Christ is a Strong Refuge. No shot of the enemy can pierce Him, He is impregnable (Ps. 18:2).
  3. “Hebron.” Hebron means company, or fellowship. Christ is a Living Refuge, with whom we have been called to have fellowship (1 Cor. 1:9).
  4. “Bezer.” Bezer means strong, or a stronghold. Christ is a Secure Refuge. Nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:39), no one can condemn us (Romans 8:34), and no one can take us from our hiding place (Col. 3:3).
  5. “Ramoth.” Ramoth means high, or high places. Christ is a High Refuge. We are made to sit with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).
  6. “Golan.” Golan means a circle, or enclosed. Christ is a Perfect Refuge. The Lord has hedged His people in, on every side (Job 1:10).
