DOING THE RIGHT THING IN THE WRONG WAY AT THE WRONG TIME FOR THE WRONG REASONS MAKES IT THE WRONG THING.
YOU DON'T LOOK THIS WAY AND THAT WHEN YOUR DOING THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME IN THE RIGHT WAY FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.
MOSES WAS RAISED FOR 40 IN PHAROAHS HOUSE.
TAUGHT IN EGYPTION THEOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN INTELLIGENT AND ARTICULATE.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRONG AND CAPABLE OF VIOLENCE.
AND HE WAS TRAINED TO BE A RASCIST.
THOSE NOT OF NOBLE OR PURE EGYPTIAN BIRTH WERE CONSIDERED TO BE SUBHUMAN - COMPARABLE TO DONKEYS OR LIVESTOCK.
THIS IS HOW MOSES WOULD HAVE TAUGHT ALL HIS LIFE - WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 3-4 YEARS HE WAS NURSED BY HIS BIRTH MOTHER.
IN ACTS 7 AS STEPHEN THE FIRST MARTYR OF THE CHURCH RECOUNTS THE HISTORY OF THE NATION HE SAYS THIS OF MOSES:
HE SUPPOSED...THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.
HOW EASY IT IS TO THINK THAT OUR ACTION IS GOD'S ACTION AND THEREFORE JUSTIFIED.
THIS WAS MOSES' ATTEMPT TO DELIVER GOD'S PEOPLE - HE ACTED ALONE AND IN SECRET - HE RELIED ON HIS OWN STRENGTH AND POWER AND HE FAILED MISERABLY.
WE'VE SEEN POWER USED IN FEAR AND IT'S DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES.
NOW WE SEE POWER USED IN ANGER.
THERE IS A LOT TO BE ANGRY ABOUT.
“IF YOU'RE NOT OUTRAGED YOUR NOT PAYING ATTENTION.”
ANGER LIKE FEAR IS A TERRIBLE MOTIVATOR AND A MERCILESS TASKMASTER.
WE'D LOVE TO BELIEVE THAT WE'RE IN CONTROL OF OUR ANGER BUT USUALLY THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE - ANGER CONTROLS US.
LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
EVEN IF WE GET IT "RIGHT" WE ARE VICTIMS OF OUR LIMITED KNOWLEDGE AND PERSPECTIVE.
INSTEAD OF BEING RECEIVED WITH GRATITUDE HE IS LOOKED AT WITH SUSPICION AND DOUBT.
THE MIDIANITES WERE DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM THROUGH HIS WIFE KETURAH AS SEEN IN GENESIS 25.
THE MIDIANITE TRADERS BROUGHT JOSEPH INTO EXILE IN EGYPT (GEN.
37) AND NOW MOSES WINDS UP WITH THE MIDIANITES AFTER HIS EXILE FROM EGYPT.
WELL: IN A BARREN LAND WELLS WERE LIFE.
PICK UP SPOT! GO TO A WELL GET A WIFE!!!
ALSO SIMILARITIES WITH JACOB/ISRAEL: BOTH FLEE FROM THE THREAT OF PHYSICAL HARM TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY, BOTH MEET THEIR WIVES BY A WELL.
SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THIS STORY?
WHAT SHOULD THIS STORY DO TO US?
AS ALWAYS IT SHOULD POINT US TO CHRIST!
THE POINT OF EXODUS IS NOT BE LIKE MOSES - IT IS LOOK AT HOW MOSES POINTS TO SOMETING GREATER THAT WE KNOW TO BE JESUS.
LIKE MOSES, JESUS WAS REJECTED BY HIS OWN
JESUS KNEW THE STING OF REJECTION BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HE CHOSE IT OUR OF OBEDIENCE.
MAKES ME THINK OF ISAIAH 53:
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
JESUS WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD THAT WE SHOULD EXPECT THE SAME.
LIKE MOSES, JESUS CHOSE SUFFERING OVER POWER
MOSES COULD HAVE JUST STAYED IN THE PALACE AND “HELPED FROM THE INSIDE”
JESUS COULD HAVE CALLED 10,000 ANGELS.
