SECOND DAY: Read Exodus 2:11-14.
Q3.
a. Did Moses
plan beforehand to kill the Egyptian? Why or why not?
Moses was looking this way and that and seeing no one before he killed
the Egyptian and after that Moses hid the body in the sand. So he did plan beforehand.
b. Read Acts 7:23-29. What information
do you find in Acts that is not in Exodus?
25 Moses thought
that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but
they did not. 29 He fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner
and had two sons.
c. Why might
Moses have thought the Hebrews would see him as their deliverer?
In
God’s will, Moses grew up in Egyptian
royal family. His position is superior to the Israelites. He has never been
persecuted, but seeing his people be persecuted by Egyptians.
Q4. Read
Hebrews 11:24-26. Moses chose to identify with the Hebrews.
a. Which happened first, Moses’ visit
to the Hebrews or his choice to identify with them? Give reasons for your
opinion.
Says in Hebrews, by
faith Moses refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s
daughter first. And than he visited
his people.
b. Why
might Moses have made this choice?
By faith Moses
believes it’s God’ plan for him to rescue the Hebrew.
c. What
did Moses’ choice cost him?
Because Pharaoh tried to kill Moses, he fled to Midian, where he
settled as a foreigner.
d. Use
simple words to explain each phrase of Hebrews 11:26 as you might to a child.
Moses thought it was a greater
value for himself to be disgraced for Christ than having the treasures from Egypt.
Q5
a. What character traits, good or bad,
do you see in Moses from these verses?
Good: Brave, integrity, and merciful. Bad: Self-righteousness,
simple-minded, violent, hasty, and reckless.
b. Which
traits needed to be changed before God would use Moses to deliver the Hebrew
people?
Righteousness only in God.
