In today's sermon, we explored the story of Jochebed, the mother of Moses, and her remarkable faith and courage in the face of dire circumstances. We began by drawing a parallel between the historical figure of Napoleon, who seemed to dominate the world stage, and the seemingly insignificant events happening in a slave hut by the Nile River. Despite the oppressive edict from Pharaoh to kill all Hebrew male infants, Jochebed and her husband Amram chose to trust in God's promises and devised a plan to save their son. This act of faith not only preserved Moses' life but also set the stage for the deliverance of the Hebrew people from slavery. We also touched on the divine orchestration that led Pharaoh's daughter, Bithia, to adopt Moses, ultimately leading her to embrace the God of the Hebrews. This story reminds us of God's sovereignty and the profound impact of faith and obedience in the face of overwhelming odds.
