Hi Bro. John:
After you answered my question today concerning Hebrews 11’s reference to Moses, I thought I would send it on to you just in case you might want to consider it for any portion of the Father and Son book. I found it very interesting when I read it, and your answer was so good to me!
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”
When I read “esteeming the reproach of Christ” in this verse, I remembered you telling us that the Son of God was hidden and a mystery to the OT people. They knew nothing about him. So, I wondered how Moses could have “esteemed the reproach of Christ greater” if he did not know about the Son of God at all. Your answer was so good to me: because Moses loved God, he loved the Son, even though he did not know about him. That is so sweet to me!
Well, thank you for the answer today. It is wonderful to think on these things — rich feelings!
Sandy 🙂
