On our stroll through the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11, we  came today to Moses.  The entire story of his life is one of faith- from the moment that his parents placed him in the basket to his final destination that fell short of actually entering in to the promised land.  Most of our morning devotional time was spent discussing the picture of Christ that we can see through Moses' decision to abandon his life of ease, royalty, and unlimited wealth and to take up the afflictions of his people.  Even as Moses was witness to the slaving burdens of his Hebrew brethren, Christ, in compassion, looked down and saw the burdens that we, as humanity, carry.  And seeing our affliction, He made that eternity-changing decision to leave the very throne room of heaven and descend to a race of people enslaved to sin. He chose to live among the slaves rather than with the Master. He chose to suffer along side of us, rather than continue on in the ease and majesty of heaven.  Philippians 2:6-8 tells us that he made himself of "no reputation" and took the form of a "bondservant". He came in our likeness and became obedient even unto death.  He who had a choice, chose to serve. And to save.  Like Moses, he looked at us and said THOSE are my people. I choose them.  How can we, the delivered, the saved, the freed, not chose Him?
