Moses
As the son of an Israelite slave, Moses should have been killed at birth.
Instead, his parents raised him secretly for three months, then placed
him in a floating basket among the reeds of the Nile River. No one could
have guessed this baby would one day become one of the Bible's greatest
leaders, and at the same time, the humblest of men.
Eighty years later, Moses was herding sheep in a desert
when God recruited him for an incredible rescue mission. With God's help,
Moses led the Israelites - over a million people - out of Egypt. Over
the next 40 years, the Israelites faced the Egyptian army, walked through
the Red Sea, drank water from a rock (twice!), heard firsthand the Ten
Commandments, survived in the desert and finally reached the promised
land. Today we remember Moses as a powerful leader, a servant of God and
a man of faith.
Moses has a profoundly intimate personal relationship
with God.
