Difference Between Acrylics And Polyester

The choice of Moses

Reading: Héb.11/23-26

Introduction

Moses from his infancy, had an extraordinary testimony of divine intervention to end his life.

His Hebrew name "mashah" means removed - hence: derived from water.

Moses, but despite his youth was guided by his faith in God. However, being guided by faith does not exclude any difficulties or temptations.

Moses How, then it was he gone?

Three verbs in the text reveal the attitude of Moses refuse, prefer to watch.

I. He refused (v.24)

He refused or abandoned to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter.

Meaning: wealth, honor and power ground - to the detriment of faith in God. Egypt is the symbol of the world.

No Compromise: Matth.6/24; Rom.12/1-2; 2Cor.6/14-18.

Rulers of the World: 1Jn 5 / 19; Eph.2/1-2; 6 / 12.

II. He preferred (v.25)

His choice identified membership: the people of God.

Note the contrast drawn by his choice:

- be abused or suffer (contrary to our nature)

- enjoyment of sin (much more in line with the sinful nature)

But this "enjoyment" does not last long - See 1Jn 2 / 15-17; Show: Matth.16/26.

III. He looked (v.26)

The reproach of Christ: That's the main thing. Eyes on things eternal.

When you realize what living the life of God and his blessed hope, the earthly things are secondary - Show: 2Cor.4/16-18; Rom.8/18.

Conclusion

What looks do you wear?

Eyes of faith in God or enjoyment of sin?

Exhortation: Héb.12/1-3.
