Lenten devotions: Exodus 2
(please read the chapter before reading this devotion)
This is an
interesting chapter for our Lenten Journey. I’m not saying that the Bible has
non-interesting chapters, but some of us try to avoid genealogies or description
of sacrifices or ... (have freedom to feel the blank). This chapter is
interesting with its content, but I can guess you have not heard this
interpretation before – so, my devotional comments might be interesting too.
Exodus
chapter 2 tells us a story of Moses’ birth, adoption into daughter of Pharaoh
house. He was raised as a part of the royal court. When the first Christian
martyr told his story, he summarized it in this way: “Moses was instructed in
the all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds”
(Acts 7:22).
