Moses was the greatest character in all of the Old Testament. From his incredible birth and boyhood in Egypt to his unique death and burial on Mount Nebo, Moses stands alone.

​

Moses was God's choice to deliver Israel from slavery. He was the first recipient of Scripture. He was a type of savior in the Old Testament. The exemplary life of Moses is a source of inspiration to us.

​

But a close study of the life of Moses also reveals that he was a very imperfect human being. Moses lost his temper. Moses felt inadequate. He wilted under the pressures of leadership. He was frustrated with the silence of God. He quarreled with his wife.

​

In other words, Moses had the same flaws that we have, and yet God used him, and that's encouraging.

​

Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done? 
Proverbs 24:11-12
