Faith (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter by faith. He chose instead to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. He esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt because he looked to the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt not fearing the wrath of the king. He endured as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as by dry land whereas the Egyptians attempting to do so were drowned. Moses gave up rank power honor place titles and dignities that were before him and well within his grasp. He turned his back on pleasure the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. He refused riches and deliberately chose suffering and affliction. He openly took part with an enslaved and persecuted people and became an object of distrust suspicion ridicule and hatred. He chose reproach and scorn. Moses counted the cost and his faith in God's Word moved him to see that no sacrifice he would make was so great that he could fail to break trust with what he heard of God. His parents hid him three months by faith because they were not afraid of the king's command. They trusted God would oversee the results of what they did by casting him on the water. Moses knew his ancestry and that the time of deliverance was at hand. He reasoned from the evidence he heard from God. Faith told Moses that all the dignity and greatness of rank was sheer vanity. Faith told Moses that the pleasures of sin were ruinous and displeasing to God and short lived. Faith told Moses that the rewards for obeying God were more durable and greater than that of Egypt. Faith told Moses that it was honorable to be mocked and despised for Christ and that suffering the afflictions in this regard were not evils but the schools for helping produce the character and the mind of God.
