Moses

The name “Moses” means “to draw out” (of water) (Exod. 2:10).

Moses thought that he saved his brethren by killing an Egyptian

When he saw the Egyptian beating “a Hebrew, one of his brethren” (vv. 11-12).

And he tried to deliver the man who had no fault

When he saw two Hebrews were fighting with each other

And said to the offender, “Why are you striking your companion?” (v. 13)

But the offender said to Moses,

“Who made you a prince or a judge over us?

Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” (v. 14)

So Moses was afraid that the matter had become known (v. 14)

so he fled and settled in the land of Midian (v. 15).

The one who tried to deliver was now a fugitive.

In that land of Midian (v. 15) Moses delivered seven daughters (v. 16)

from the hand of the shepherds (v. 19).

Moses, who couldn’t deliver his brethren from the Egyptian,

delivered the Midian women in the land of Midian.

God called Moses at Horeb, the mountain of God (3:1), gave him mission (v. 9) and delivered him .

God delivered him from doubt (4:1ff).

God delivered him from helplessness (vv. 10ff).

God delivered him from disobedience (vv. 13ff).  

Then God delivered the Israelites from Egypt through Moses.

Then God saved us, His people, through Jesus who is the true Moses,

from Egypt that is the kingdom of Satan.

And God still uses us, Jesus’ disciples, to save God’s chosen people in this world

who have not yet entered the kingdom of God.

When Jesus Christ comes back, He will surely lead all of us, God’s people,

to the true Promised Land, Heaven.
