Hebrews 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child… I. A BELOVED CHILD IN GREAT DANGER. Children are always in danger. 1. There are the perils connected with physical well-being. 2. Those which come from the hardening influence of resistance of Divine grace. What if the child should steadfastly persist in evil habits which already show themselves! 3. Those which come through the malice of Satan. Satan is on the track of the children. II. THE PARENTS' FEARLESS FAITH. "Parents." The strength of the faith may have been due to that; it was the joint faith of two. This faith showed itself — 1. In a quiet confidence that God would protect their child. 2. In the adoption of all possible means to the right end. III. THIS FEARLESS FAITH RESTING ON SUFFICIENT GROUNDS. What are they? 1. The intrinsic worth of a child. Who can tell what any child may become? 2. The fact that the child is fair to God. (See margin of Acts 7:20). 3. The distinct promises of God's Word. (C. New.) Parallel Verses KJV: By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. |
