| Hi:
Last Sunday, during her message for all ages, Amanda reminded us that Pharaoh’s daughter rescued baby Moses from a basket among the river reeds (Exodus 2:6). She encouraged us that such seemingly small acts of courage can greatly alter the trajectory of someone else’s story. Clearly, that is true of Moses. An angel later appeared to Moses in a flame of fire out of a bush and God called him to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian oppression. You know these things.
Do you recall that in between his rescue and his response to God’s summons, Moses took a human life? It wasn’t an accident: “He saw an Egyptian beating one of his own people. He looked this way and that, and seeing no one he slayed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.” He was fully aware of what he had done. He also sensed that the shameful act was impossible to completely cover up. I’ll say more when I see you. The sermon is entitled: “Surely the thing is known.”
Love you. Mean it.
