Birth and Early Life of Moses: the First 40 Years (Exodus 2)

What this episode covers

This lesson covers Moses’ life as a prince in Egypt, from his birth and famous rescue from the Nile River through fleeing Egypt at age forty after murdering an Egyptian. He then helps Midianite strangers, and gains a wife. We consider two key aspects of Moses’ character that are held up in the New Testament, for Christians to imitate: He forsook the short-term pleasures of the world, motivated by a greater reward; and persevered because he saw the One who is unseen. We also note striking parallels between Moses and Jesus, the promised Prophet of Deuteronomy 18 who would be “like Moses."
