Adventures of Moses (Part 2)

3 Moses’s Faith and Values

Behind the story of Moses is the faith that he showed in God by his willingness to forsake his life in Egypt and suffer affliction with the people of God instead.

He showed great courage in opposing Pharaoh. Moses made mistakes, but he did believe that treasure in heaven is far more desirable than treasure on earth (Heb 11:23-29).

• He chose to suffer affliction rather than enjoy the passing pleasures of sin (Heb 11:25).
• He esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure in Egypt (Heb 11:26).
• He looked to the invisible God for courage rather than fearing the wrath of the Pharaoh behind him (Heb 11:27).
• He was very humble and took the place of a servant in God's household (Heb 3:2-6, Num 12:1-9).
• He tried to keep to the exacting standards that God imposed on him (Exo 17:1-7, Num 20:1-13).
