Teaching prompt
How does Moses' life hold together being a Hebrew, an Egyptian prince, a Midianite shepherd, and then a deliverer?
Reflection
Where has God used a 'wilderness season' in your own life to prepare you for what He had next?
Points to Jesus
Acts 3:22-23 and Hebrews 3:1-6 both name Jesus as the greater Prophet and greater Moses. Moses mediated an old covenant in blood at Sinai (Exodus 24:8); Jesus mediates a new covenant in His own blood (Luke 22:20; Hebrews 9:15). The Passover lamb of Exodus 12 points directly to 'Christ, our Passover lamb' (1 Corinthians 5:7).
Discussion questions
- How does God answer Moses' 'Who am I?' with 'I AM'?
- What does Hebrews credit Moses' choices to?
- Whom does Moses say God will raise up after him, and how does Acts 3:22 read that verse?
