As we get closer and closer to Christmas as well as the end of the year, I can help but wonder where everyone stand's when it comes to making Jesus as their Saviour.
Not only do they make Him their Savior but truly what He went through in His life to become the gift of this world.
Do they understand the simplicity of the stories in the bible that points to Jesus as being King of King's.
If not, we need to start pointing them towards the floating Moses and show them how great and wonderful our Lord of Lord's is and what He can do with a life that didn't have any hope of a life except to experience death.
There is hope and life in the parallel stories of the floating Moses and the baby Jesus that need's and deserve our appreciation, love, and reverence for He is good and can change a life through a basket or a man who is willing to listen to the higher calling.
God Bless
Floating Moses Scripture Reading: Exodus 2:1-10 She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.” - Exodus 2:10 In Egypt the Israelites (Hebrews) flourished for generations, and eventually the Egyptians felt threatened. So the ruling Pharaoh decided that all Hebrew baby boys should be drowned at birth (Exodus 1).
But one boy survived that holocaust—his mother hid him in a basket-boat among the reeds of the Nile River, and Pharaoh’s own daughter found him and decided to raise him. Brought up as a prince in the king’s family, this baby was named Moses, because the princess pulled him out of the river and saved him. He grew up to be the liberator of his people, chosen by God to lead them back to their own land.
Another king many years later massacred children too. Out of fear and hatred, King Herod tried to kill all the baby boys in Bethlehem after hearing that a new king had been born there (Matthew 2:13-18). Like Moses, one of those babies survived. He was the child Jesus, and he grew up to be the Savior of his people—and of all other peoples too—from the curse of sin and death. Salvation comes to us through this baby boy, the Son of God, who was born into the family line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). He took up his human life to show us that our story isn’t about death, slavery, and oppression. Our story is about freedom, hope, and liberation—all found in our new life in Jesus Christ. Do you believe in him as your Savior?
Prayer: Lord, we pray for all who are persecuted or oppressed. Let them discover the Christ as their Savior and liberator. Amen.
