Answer:

MOSES from prince of egypt to servant of god

Strangers passing by barely noticed an old man tending his sheep in the desert. Forty years earlier, the unknown shepherd had been a prince-big man in a big place. But that was then. Now, the most recent entry on his resume read: “40 years, shepherd in the desert.”

At 80 years of age, he was forgotten, a has-been, leading sheep around a forsaken desert. Once a young and handsome prince, now an old and forgotten shepherd.

One day the shepherd passed a bush that began to burn, and continued to burn, without burning up. Moses was not so set in his ways that he was beyond learning something new. “I will go over and see this strange sight-why the bush does not burn up” (Exodus 3:3).

The invisible, self-perpetuating and self-reliant God spoke to Moses out of the fiery bush and identified himself as “I AM WHO I AM” God had plans for the next 40 years of Moses’ life.

Moses’ life fascinates and intrigues Christians and Jews, as well as those who do not believe in the God of the Bible. Even 20th century Hollywood has been unable to resist the magic, mystery and majesty of Moses.

Dreamworks Pictures’ The Prince of Egypt was released in late December 1998. Over 40 years earlier, in 1956, audiences were thrilled by Charlton Heston’s portrayal of Moses in Cecil B. DeMille’s epic, The Ten Commandments (a remake of DeMille’s 1923 silent film of the same title).

Speaking of 40 years, Moses’ life can be studied in three distinct sections of 40 years. Moses spent his first 40 years as a prince of Egypt. During the second 40-year period, Moses was a fugitive and a shepherd in the desert. And, the final third period of 40 years was a time when God transformed Moses into one of the great personalities of all history.

Moses was brought from disgrace and ignominy to lead a group of slaves to freedom. Under unbelievably difficult conditions, Moses was used by God to give former slaves the leadership needed for them to become a nation of people who have altered the entire course of history.

Years 1-40: From Slave to Prince

Born the son of a Hebrew slave, Moses survived because he was rescued, saved and eventually adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter (Exodus 2:1-10). He was given the best education, training and preparation that Egypt could offer (Acts 7:22). In keeping with education given to Egyptian royalty, he was probably tutored by retired military and political leaders. It must have seemed to all who knew him that Moses’ first 40 years prepared him for leadership and fame.

One day, Moses, now a grown man, was watching his own Hebrew people work in bondage to the Egyptians (Exodus 2:11-14). He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, and something stirred within him. We don’t know how and when Moses first became aware that he was a Hebrew rather than an Egyptian. But at some point as he matured and grew, Moses was conscious that it was his people who were suffering as slaves.

Moses sided with the Hebrew who was being beaten, rushed to his defense and killed the Egyptian. When Moses buried the Egyptian’s body in the sands of Egypt, he also buried his own promising future as a prince. Moses’ deed became known, and he fled Egypt in disgrace. The Prince of Egypt became a fugitive and a pauper.

Some speculate that Moses might have been acquitted, on the grounds that the murder of the Egyptian was “justifiable homicide.” After all, Moses did come to the aid of the Hebrew slave whose life was threatened. The Bible does not comment. But the Bible does tell us about the fork in the road to which Moses came and the role that faith played in his life.

Moses’ life was characterized by faith from his birth. He was saved by the faith of his parents, who at great personal risk, disobeyed Pharaoh by not having their son put to death (Exodus 1:22). Later in life, Moses refused and ran from what the vast majority of people spend their lives trying to attain — riches and fame. In the Bible’s words, he gave up pleasures and treasures because of his faith.
