Jesus and Moses
December 11, 2014
The New Testament says something funny about Moses that
scholars don't quite understand. Hebrews
11:32 says that Moses' parents hid him "because they saw that the child was
beautiful." Baby Moses was special, and
his parents understood something of his wonderful calling before God. In fact, the Jewish historian Josephus wrote
that Moses' father received a dream in which he learned that his child would
grow up to deliver Israel from Egypt. Christians
look back on Moses and realize he was wonderful as one who anticipated the
birth of baby Jesus.
