Deuteronomy 33, Deuteronomy 34:1-12, Luke 20:27-47, Psalm 68:21-27
Deuteronomy 34: 10-12 (ESV)
“And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like
Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, none like him for all the signs and the
wonders that the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to
all his servants and to all his land, and for all the mighty power and all the
great deeds of terror that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.”
In verses 10 through 12 from Deuteronomy 34, we see how the
people thought about Moses. There was no one after Moses until Christ who knew
God face to face. Although there were others who did great things, Moses did so
many amazing things to free his people from Egypt. Moses freed his people from
the bonds of slavery, and Christ freed people from the bonds of sin. Moses also
had such a unique background having been raised by an Egyptian princess and
learning to fight as a warrior. Moses had a unique destiny which was so
opposite to Christ. Moses was raised by royalty, while Christ was born in a
stable and raised by humble and poor people. But even though Moses did so much
for his people and for God, God would still not let him into the promised land.
It is also recorded that no one even knows where Moses was buried, which I
think is such a sad ending for so great a man in God’s plan to free the people
of Israel from the bondage of slavey.
