1. Summary of Moses’ Story
• Moses is born under Pharaoh’s order to kill Hebrew baby boys, hidden by his mother, and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter (Exodus 2:2-10).
• After killing an Egyptian and fleeing Egypt, Moses spends forty years in Midian as a shepherd (Exodus 2:11-25).
• God calls Moses through the burning bush and sends him back to Egypt to deliver His people (Exodus 3:1-12).
• Through Moses, God brings ten plagues upon Egypt, leading to Israel’s freedom (Exodus 7–12).
• Moses parts the Red Sea, leads Israel through the wilderness, and receives the Law at Mount Sinai (Exodus 14–20; 31:18).
• Despite Israel’s rebellion, Moses intercedes for them and continues leading them toward the Promised Land (Exodus 32-34).
• Moses dies on Mount Nebo at 120 years old, having faithfully served God to the very end (Deuteronomy 34:5-7).
2. How Moses Points to Jesus
