Life of Moses #12
Jesus is called the firstborn of all creation (Col 1:15, Psa 110:1-4, Rev 19:16, Heb 1:4). Jesus was the firstborn of Mary (Luk 2:7); firstborn of God (Heb 1:6); firstborn of the dead (Col 1:18); firstborn among many brethren (Rom 8:29, 1Pe 1:4). A joint heir of Jesus Christ is our privilege -- reign (Rom 8). As firstborn of both God and man; He was dedicated to God to fulfill His purpose (Luk 2:22). Through ressurrection Jesus Christ claims His inheritence (Joh 17:17-19). Moses fully identified with the Jews (Exo 14:1-31). The Lord harrassed the Egyptians (Exo 14:25). Son of Moses (Exo 15): Ransom -- sacrifice of the Lamb -- the payment of a price (every member of the human race covered - 1Jo 2:2). Redemption - ehre the rasnom comes through blood, redemption comes through power (Hos 13:14). In the Red Sea God delivered the Jews from the power of Egypt. Reconciliation - restored to fellowship. Worship must have the right foundation (Exo 14:30-31). Example song (Psa 106:12).
