Hebrews 11:26

JesusEgypt
FaithMoney and wealthShameHope

24 By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

25 He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.

He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

27 By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.

28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
