Moses is the savior of God’s people. For over 400  years the children of Israel have been enslaved in Egypt. They have cried out to God for deliverence and now they have been heard and a deliverer is prepared. He will free the people of God from slavery and return them to the land of their forefather… the promised land of Abraham.
What is remarkable about this story is that it is a fore-shadowing of another event that is to come… there will be another deliverer sent to free the people of God. His name is Jesus.
