Quick Summary:

As far as Sunday school stories go, it’s a favorite. Who can resist the tale of baby Moses who, at the tender age of 3 months, is swaddled and packed into a waterproof basket by his mother, and set afloat in the Nile? Chances are, if you only know a handful of stories from the Hebrew Scriptures, this is one of them. But there’s a lot more here than meets the eye. As Exodus begins, a new chapter—a dangerous chapter—in the saga of God’s people has begun. Overnight, the Hebrew people have become, in the eyes of the Empire, ALIEN OTHERS; objects of fear and suspicion; subjects of racial profiling.

But in the midst of dire circumstances, God is at work in the lives of individual people to make a way when there is no way. As people of faith, we trust in this God, and offer our lives each day as testimony to the maturity of our faith in the midst of an immature culture.
