I. The faith of Moses appears in "REFUSING TO BE CALLED THE SON OF PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER."

1. "Pharaoh's daughter" is your mother. No; my mother is of. "the people of God."

2. "Pharaoh's daughter" saved your life. Yes; but my mother brought me into life.

3. "Pharaoh's daughter" gave you education. Yes; but my mother taught me the "things of God."

4. "Pharaoh's daughter" made you a prince. Yes; but my mother taught me to become " a child of God."

5. "Pharaoh's daughter" brought you to court. Yes; but my mother brought me to "the Church of God."

II. The faith of Moses was TRIED BY AFFLICTION. YOU will be afflicted with poverty, with labour, with taxes, and with contempt and persecution as a Hebrew; but you shall be looked up to and respected as "the son of Pharaoh's daughter." Be it so; I prefer the favour of God to the approbation of men.

III. The faith of Moses appears in "ESTEEMING THE REPROACH OF CHRIST GREATER RICHES THAN THE TREASURES OF EGYPT."

1. In Egypt you shall have a splendid palace — that in which Pharaoh lives, in all its beauty and grandeur. My parents taught me that the Lord would give me " a mansion" in glory; I prefer it.

2. In Egypt you shall wear a very costly and beautiful crown, all sparkling with diamonds. My parents taught me that the Lord will give me "a crown of righteousness" in glory; I prefer it.

3. In Egypt you shall sit on a throne of the most magnificent and costly splendour, with all your courtiers about you. My parents taught me that the Lord "will grant to me to sit with Him in His throne"; I prefer that.

4. In Egypt you shall reign over the most extended and wealthy kingdom on the earth. My parents taught me that the Lord will give me "a kingdom, prepared for me from the foundation of the world"; I prefer it.

5. In Egypt you shall have all the enjoyment which this world can afford. My parents taught me that the Lord will give me an "exceeding and eternal weight of glory"; I prefer that.

IV. The faith of Moses appears IN HIS FLIGHT FROM EGYPT.

V. IN "HIS KEEPING THE PASSOVER AND THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD."

(James Kidd, D. D.)
