Moses was quite possibly the
greatest man to ever live, second only to Jesus, who was both God
and man. Moses was conceived with a death sentence over his head
because of Pharaoh's decree to kill all male Hebrew babies; yet God
chose him to be the man that would free the children of Israel from
slavery, take them into an uninhabitable desert and forge them into
a law based nation. God prepared Moses for this gigantic task by
educating him in royal palace of Egypt where he learned to govern as
a political leader, set up a court system, feed the people and the
training of an army. Then he spent another forty years in the desert
under the guidance of Jethro, who taught him the story of the
creation, the events that took place before the flood and the
chronicles of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The resulting five books
which begin the Old Testament are the basis for the New Testament
and the foundation of law in western nations. Moses' life is
positive example what God will do with a man who gives himself up
wholly to Him. |
