Shemot: Torah 13

Messiah in Life

As we open the Book of Exodus, we find the Lord beginning to "attend to" His people as they face dire circumstances. Often, what appears to be an end is a beginning, what appears as a loss, will become a victory. Moses is born under a death decree, but is delivered to be an heir of the very Pharaoh who issued the decree. Why? Moses was saved from death, raised to an exalted status, only to find himself as an unknown shepherd years later. There, out in the nowhere, the "I Am" would meet Moses, even while he wrestled with "imposter syndrome." When we meet the "I Am" we too leave the imposter behind as He forms us to the image of His Son.
