    As one of the Hebrew patriarchs, Moses is very important to both Jews and Christians. As for being an example, there are a number of lessons that could be taken from his life, but I will mention only one, that of obedience.

    Remember that Moses was brought up in hte Royal household and would therefore have been used to having people do his bidding. Following the assault of a slave-master however, sometime in his youht, he had to escape and return to his own itinerant people. This would have taught him a great deal about humility, but the real lesson of obedience came when he was confronted by the great 'I am' of the burning bush. Knowing that it could easily mean his death if he were recognised, he nevertheless returned to the royal palace to plead the case of hte Hebrew people to Pharaoh. This is a real testament to the obedience that God asks of his people in order to test them and have his own purpose fulfilled.

    From a worldly viewpoint Moses was in an exceedingly advantageous position materially. He was the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter, and having this status he was in line to enjoy the finest of foods and the best of clothing, as well as living in royal style in the most luxurious surroundings. (Ex. 2:1-10) He would have a great deal of prestige and honor, and ultimately he would have inherited an extensive estate. He received the highest of educations, being “instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians” and becoming “powerful in his words and deeds.” Unquestionably, then, his position in the Egyptian world was a highly favored one. (Acts 7:20-22) Nevertheless, Moses was more concerned about his relationship with Jehovah. Therein he provided a proper example for all Christians, 1,900+ years ago and down to today. Loyalty to God and his people caused him to make the decision to refuse “to be called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh.”

    The Bible record by the apostle Paul shows Moses’ vision and understanding when it states: “By faith he left Egypt, but not fearing the anger of the king, for he continued steadfast as seeing the One who is invisible. By faith he had celebrated the passover and the splashing of the blood, that the destroyer might not touch their firstborn ones. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land, but on venturing out upon it the Egyptians were swallowed up.”—Heb. 11:23-29.

    Moses "walked" with God, and God loved him. He's a great example for everyone.
