Moses was one of three men God used to initiate a covenant that was purposed to unfold the revelation of God. Those "covenants" and their intent would eventually express themselves in the fulfillment found in the Person of Jesus Christ. During their time in Egypt, God was forming them as His people destined to show the nations who God was. While in Egypt, they were being taught a message and how to be the messenger. What God had for them could only be achieved against the background of a demon-driven culture like Egypt.
The story of their deliverance is the most quoted and referenced story in the New Testament. Their sojourning in Egypt was a very useful and historical backdrop for us as Christians as we make our journey through life. Just as Moses was God's chosen vessel to lead the people of God out of Egypt, Jesus is our Deliver and leader as we face our world with the message that Jesus Christ is Lord!
