Jesse Tree - WEEK 2 - Day 8 - Sunday

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT

MOSES

SCRIPTURE READING: Exodus 2:1 through 4:20

Moses is one of the most important figures in the Old Testament, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. His life demonstrates God’s power, guidance, and desire for freedom and justice for His people. When God spoke to Moses through the burning bush, He revealed His plan to rescue the Israelites, showing that He hears the cries of His people and acts to deliver them.

Moses faithfully obeyed God’s call, confronting Pharaoh, parting the Red Sea, and leading the Israelites through the wilderness. On Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, which provided guidance for how His people should live in relationship with Him and with each other. Moses’ leadership and the covenant remind us of the importance of obedience, faith, and God’s desire for a holy people.

Moses also foreshadows Jesus, the ultimate deliverer who frees us from the slavery of sin and leads us to new life. Just as Moses mediated the old covenant, Jesus brings us the new and everlasting covenant.

 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of Moses, who followed Your call and trusted in Your power. Help us to obey Your commands and trust in Your deliverance. Lead us by Your grace, just as You led Your people to freedom. Amen.
