He valued disgrace for Christ This phrase highlights Moses' choice to identify with the people of God rather than enjoy the privileges of Egyptian royalty. The term "disgrace for Christ" suggests a willingness to suffer for the sake of God's promises, which is a theme echoed throughout the New Testament (e.g., Philippians 3:8). Although Moses lived long before Christ's earthly ministry, his actions prefigure the suffering servant motif found in Isaiah 53 and the New Testament understanding of sharing in Christ's sufferings (Romans 8:17). Moses' choice reflects a deep faith in God's redemptive plan, which ultimately culminates in Christ. above the treasures of Egypt for he was looking ahead to his reward Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesA central figure in the Old Testament, Moses was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. His life is marked by faith and obedience to God, despite facing numerous challenges and temptations. 2. Egypt A powerful and wealthy ancient civilization where Moses was raised as a prince. Egypt symbolizes worldly wealth, power, and temptation. 3. Christ Although Moses lived long before the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the passage refers to the Messiah, indicating Moses' faith in God's promises and the coming Redeemer. 4. Disgrace The shame or dishonor Moses willingly accepted by rejecting his royal status in Egypt to align with the suffering people of God. 5. Reward The eternal inheritance and fulfillment of God's promises that Moses anticipated, which outweighed any temporary earthly gain. Teaching Points Valuing Eternal Over TemporalMoses' choice to suffer disgrace for Christ rather than enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin challenges us to prioritize eternal values over temporary gains. Faith in God's Promises Moses' actions were driven by faith in God's promises. We are called to trust in God's future rewards, even when they are not immediately visible. Identifying with Christ Just as Moses identified with the people of God, we are encouraged to stand firm in our identity in Christ, even if it means facing ridicule or persecution. Sacrificial Living Moses' life exemplifies the call to live sacrificially for God's purposes, reminding us that true fulfillment comes from serving God rather than seeking personal comfort or wealth.(26) The reproach of Christ.--Better, The reproach of the Christ. Many explanations have been proposed of this remarkable phrase, some of which--as "reproach for Christ," "reproach similar to that which Christ endured"--cannot possibly give the true meaning. The first point to be noted is that the words are almost exactly a quotation from one of the chief of the Messianic Psalms (Psalm 89:50-51)--"Remember, Lord, the reproach of Thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of many peoples: wherewith Thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of Thine Anointed." Here the writer in effect speaks of himself as bearing "the reproach of the Anointed" of the Lord; pleading in his name and identifying himself with his cause. "The Anointed" is the king who (see the Note on Hebrews 1:5) was the type of the promised Christ. Throughout the whole of their history the people of Israel were the people of the Christ. Their national existence originated in the promise to Abraham, which was a promise of the Christ; and till the fulness of time should come their mission was to prepare the way for Him. The reproach which Moses accepted by joining the people of the promise was, therefore, "the reproach of the Christ," the type of that "reproach" which in later days His people will share with Him (Hebrews 13:13). He who was to appear in the last days as the Messiah was already in the midst of Israel (John 1:10). (See Psalm 69:9; Colossians 1:24; 1Peter 1:11; and the Note on 2Corinthians 1:5. Philippians 3:7-11 furnishes a noble illustration of this whole record.) . . . Parallel Commentaries ...
