MOSES: “The Principles of Faith” Hebrews 11:23-28
23 - By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. • 24 - By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
25 - He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. • 26 - He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
27 - By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. • 28 - By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.
