1. My firstborn son (18-26)

The firstborn son has a special place in his father's heart. God called Israel his firstborn son. Later, the slaying of the firstborn of Egypt by the passover angel was the event that softened Pharaoh's hard heart. Gershom was Moses' firstborn son. Moses had not circumcised him--given him to God. He had been living in a foreign country and had no sense of identity with God's people. He had lived a family-centered life. When Moses became very sick in the inn on the way to Egypt, Zipporah circumcised their son. A man with God's mission must not live a compromised life.

2. Good news of God's love (27-31)

When Moses told Aaron and the elders of Israel the good news that God was concerned about them and had sent a deliverer, they believed him and bowed their heads and worshiped.

Application: Lord, pull all the roots of humanism from my heart, so that you may be the center of my life and ministry. Help me to tell the good news of deliverance from sin through Jesus.
One Word: God's love is not compromising
