Birth and Call of Moses

By Paul George

Moses was not born to be a slave in the land of Egypt. He was not born to serve in the king of Egypt’s court. He was not born the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He was not born to be the shepherd of his father-in-law’s flock. He was born to be a spokesman for God. Moses was given the honor and privilege of delivering a message from the King of the kingdom of heaven to, first the sons of Israel announcing their deliverance from bondage in Egypt and second to the king of Egypt announcing the deliverance of the sons of Israel in a diplomatic form; a request to let the sons of Israel go into the wilderness and offer a sacrifice to their God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
