Who was Moses in the Bible? Before delving into the biblical account of Moses' deliverance of God's people from slavery in Egypt, the author sets the scene not long after Moses' birth: Witness God's chosen deliverer as a three-month-old infant sailing down the Nile River in a pitch-coated wicker ark. There, in that setting, under the threat of death, you capture a necessary first impression of the man God chose to lead his people out of Egypt: a helpless infant desperately in need of God's deliverance. At the heart of Moses's story of the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt, the picture of God's dramatic intervention in the sin-laden affairs of humankind comes vividly to life and the bold theme of God's redemptive work is clear.
