God makes all things beautiful in His time—even when His timing isn’t what we have in mind! When the Hebrews were enslaved and treated harshly in Egypt, one Hebrew infant was spared. Nurtured in the faith by his own mother, Moses also enjoyed the privileged life of an Egyptian prince. In his sermon “In His Time — Part Two,” Alistair Begg points out how Moses’s eventual role as the deliverer of his people points forward to an even greater Deliverer:
When you study, irrespective in where you are in the Bible, it will eventually lead you to Jesus. So Moses, who’s about to become the deliverer of Israel, setting them free from the bondage, … is pointing forward to the real Deliverer, to Jesus. And Jesus will come and set His people free. Free from what? Free from ourselves. Free from our sins. Free from our shortcomings. Free from our preoccupation with our own agenda. Free from the sense of futility that often marks our lives, even when we’re doing really well. That is what this book points us to.
And what we will discover … is there’s no detour for Jesus. Jesus doesn’t need a detour. The Bible actually tells us that Jesus, when He realized His time was come to give His life as a sacrifice for sin, He set His face steadfastly towards Jerusalem. There’s no winding road. It was straight there. Why? Because He’s the Savior. Because He’s the Deliverer. Because He has been prepared from all of eternity to enter into the plight of men and women. He is the one in whom safety is found.
