What Is Your Divine Assignment?નમૂનો

Great that you are still here! Maybe you made the decision yesterday to give your life to the Source of life. Maybe you didn’t, but that is okay. It is never too late!

Surrendering Moses to the Nile led to some sort of good ending: The box made out of bulrushes ended up at the daughter of the Pharaoh. Yet, because of a smart move of his sister, Moses could be raised by his own Hebrew-Levitic parents.

Hebrew-Levitic? Yes, Moses was a Hebrew Levite. Levites used to be a very specific group in the Hebrew tribes. They helped priests with their daily, religious tasks. A very serving role, so to say.

Today, I would like to look at the birth of another very important person in the Bible: Jesus. Moses’ birth alone has a lot of common ground with Jesus’ birth already! For example, look at the situation Moses was born in. Just like the Pharaoh wanted to kill all newborn Hebrew boys, Jesus also was born in a time where the leader of the nation, King Herod, wanted to kill all firstborn.

Another clear example is Moses’ lineage and role in society: Moses was a Levite, and therefore he had a serving role. We read in the Bible that Joseph (Jesus’ human-father) was a descendant of David. David was a Levite. Coincidence?

Their serving role also has common ground: both figures came to serve. One to free the Hebrew nation from slavery in Egypt, and the other to free all nations on earth from slavery to sin.

I don’t know what your image of God is, but on one hand He is big, strong and invincible, sitting on the throne in Heaven. And at the same time He is One that loves us unconditionally and wants to be close. And He probably is even more than that. Something that I may discover more and more in this life.

> Jesus came to serve. And if Jesus is (a reflection of) God, what does that say about your image of God? Are you willing to enlarge your view of God? ☁️
