Moses, Part I

This day was our introduction to Moses: his birth and his adoption by an Egyptian princess; his spontaneous killing of an Egyptian who was whipping a Hebrew; his fleeing from the consequences of his act; his marriage into the Midian priest's family, deserting his Hebrew culture; his call from God at the burning bush; his attempt to avoid God's assignment; his return to Egypt, saved from death by his wife's Hebrew ritual; and his confrontation with the Pharoah. We also noted God's concern for the Hebrew people.

We examined our own behaviors to see whether we are too often like Moses: running from our sin, rejecting our Christian heritage, resisting God's call to serve Him.

Next class will be Sunday, January 6, continuing the story of Moses.
