If he's growing up as Pharaoh's son, 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.380 Pharaoh's daughter's son, 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:26.176 you know, 00:04:26.176 --> 00:04:31.848 he grew up in the king's household and had the benefit of everything that 00:04:31.904 --> 00:04:32.984 Egypt could offer. 00:04:33.072 --> 00:04:33.732 And so, 00:04:33.816 --> 00:04:34.674 so probably. 00:04:34.762 --> 00:04:36.322 Can I just go ahead and say it now? 00:04:36.322 --> 00:04:38.962 It wouldn't be anyway. 00:04:39.026 --> 00:04:40.676 I believe he wore eyeliner. 00:04:43.130 --> 00:04:44.658 I think he probably did. 00:04:44.658 --> 00:04:51.802 He probably had all the fancy stuff hanging around his neck and headwear 00:04:51.986 --> 00:04:55.122 and makeup and eyeliner and all that kind of stuff. 00:04:55.122 --> 00:04:59.742 And I think he was all up in the egyptian culture at the time. 00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:02.520 But when we read these statements, 00:05:02.548 --> 00:05:04.812 we see that his life didn't begin that way, 00:05:04.812 --> 00:05:05.316 because it says, 00:05:05.316 --> 00:05:05.976 by faith, 00:05:06.052 --> 00:05:07.532 Moses, after he was born, 00:05:07.532 --> 00:05:10.612 was hidden by his parents for three months because he was beautiful. 00:05:10.612 --> 00:05:12.480 He didn't even need eyeliner. 00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:16.212 But that word beautiful really is, 00:05:16.356 --> 00:05:20.212 it reflects something in Hebrew of the countenance of his face. 00:05:20.276 --> 00:05:25.374 There was something about him that pointed people to God. 00:05:25.422 --> 00:05:30.958 There was something about his countenance that made people think beyond 00:05:31.054 --> 00:05:32.334 just this baby. 00:05:32.462 --> 00:05:33.710 And we know that by faith, 00:05:33.710 --> 00:05:35.990 Moses was hidden by his parents. 00:05:36.030 --> 00:05:36.690 Whose faith? 00:05:36.590 --> 00:05:37.990 That wasn't Moses faith. 00:05:38.070 --> 00:05:39.854 That was mom and daddy's faith. 00:05:39.854 --> 00:05:41.504 Mom and daddy hid him. 00:05:43.230 --> 00:05:44.014 And the pharaoh. 00:05:44.014 --> 00:05:45.334 And I love this. 00:05:44.974 --> 00:05:46.566 Somebody I was listening to this week, 00:05:46.566 --> 00:05:49.894 getting ready for this morning was kind of splitting hairs for us. 00:05:49.894 --> 00:05:51.782 Pharaoh said for, 00:05:51.926 --> 00:05:56.542 for the israelite people to throw all the male children in the Nile 00:05:56.606 --> 00:06:02.610 river. So Moses parents threw him in the Nile river in a basket. 00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:04.238 So, I mean, 00:06:04.414 --> 00:06:06.290 they obeyed the edict. 00:06:07.030 --> 00:06:11.310 They just put him in the Nile river in a basket and had his sister watch 00:06:11.310 --> 00:06:12.246 out for him, 00:06:12.246 --> 00:06:12.726 right? 00:06:12.838 --> 00:06:15.774 Until Pharaoh's daughter comes along and sees the baby in the basket and 00:06:15.774 --> 00:06:17.590 says, I'm going to adopt this child. 00:06:17.590 --> 00:06:19.530 I'm going to raise him like mine. 00:06:19.530 --> 00:06:24.394 And so Moses grows up in Pharaoh's household as a son to Pharaoh's 00:06:24.442 --> 00:06:29.570 daughter. That was mom and dad's faith for protecting Pharaoh, 00:06:29.610 --> 00:06:30.786 not protecting Moses. 00:06:30.818 --> 00:06:31.386 Now, why, 00:06:31.386 --> 00:06:31.990 though? 00:06:32.490 --> 00:06:34.210 Let's consider them by faith, 00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:38.070 there on the morning that Moses is born. 00:06:38.570 --> 00:06:39.234 You know, 00:06:39.322 --> 00:06:41.570 mom and dad already know what the king has said. 00:06:41.570 --> 00:06:43.880 Do what Pharaoh is said to do. 00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:46.450 They already know what they're supposed to do. 00:06:46.450 --> 00:06:47.390 By law. 00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:51.040 They chose to break the law. 00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:53.880 Why? By faith, 00:06:54.940 --> 00:06:58.920 right? They chose to defy Pharaoh's order. 00:07:00.220 --> 00:07:03.640 Pharaoh's order was ungodly and unrighteous. 00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:07.000 Pharaoh's order was unholy. 00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:08.668 You see? 00:07:08.804 --> 00:07:10.708 And so Moses mom and dad said, 00:07:10.708 --> 00:07:12.372 fine, we're not killing this child. 00:07:12.372 --> 00:07:12.868 Matter of fact, 00:07:12.868 --> 00:07:14.518 we're going to hide him. 00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:19.780 We're going to preserve his life and let it float down the river anyway. 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:21.256 But you see, 00:07:21.256 --> 00:07:24.096 they didn't fear the king's edict. 00:07:24.288 --> 00:07:25.600 And then we see this one. 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.312 By faith, 00:07:26.376 --> 00:07:28.760 Moses, when he had grown up, 00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:31.600 refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:32.144 Can you? 00:07:32.144 --> 00:07:32.804 All right, 00:07:32.856 --> 00:07:36.864 let's make this as real as we can make it the morning that Moses got up 00:07:36.864 --> 00:07:39.672 and he stood in front of the mirror and he picked up his, 00:07:39.672 --> 00:07:40.456 his eyeliner, 00:07:40.488 --> 00:07:41.478 and he went, 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:42.860 not today. 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.460 I'm not living in all this anymore. 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.472 I'm not going to enjoy the sin for a season, 00:07:54.576 --> 00:07:56.940 the fleeting pleasure of sin. 00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:02.800 I'm not going to indulge in my own selfish pleasure, 00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:04.580 wants and desires. 00:08:05.930 --> 00:08:11.018 I'm not going to be what the world has made me out to be. 00:08:11.194 --> 00:08:15.786 I'm going to choose to suffer with my people, 00:08:15.858 --> 00:08:16.802 God's people, 00:08:16.946 --> 00:08:17.954 in slavery. 00:08:18.042 --> 00:08:24.950 Can you imagine going from the palace to slavery in a day? 00:08:25.730 --> 00:08:26.522 By faith, 00:08:26.586 --> 00:08:33.200 Moses chose not to be pharaoh's grandson and chose to be a slave. 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:36.060 It's a big deal. 00:08:36.420 --> 00:08:37.828 Think about that morning, 00:08:38.004 --> 00:08:39.588 right?
