Editor's Notes
- Rejecting the Fruits of Worldliness and Walking the Path of Humility
- Hebrews 11 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter 25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
- 26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.
- 27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
- 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
- First Post The man of faith understands the brevity of sin’s rewards.
- In Egypt, Moses enjoyed three great benefits He had position – adopted into royal family. He had pleasures – access to all of the carnal pleasures afforded to the members of the “Great House” He had prosperity – access to the treasures of Egypt.
- We are a lot like Moses early years in Pharoah’s Court: We are obsessed with titles and a will to power.
- Our will to power is only exceeded by our will to pleasure.
- Our will to prosper is so great that it has twisted the most noble elements of our society. The arts have been corrupted as artists grow more concerned with economics than aesthetics. The sciences have been corrupted as scientists grow more concerned with gaining grants than making a contribution. Medicine has been corrupted as doctors are being transformed from healers to HMO functionaries. The gospel has been corrupted by prosperity preachers who transform the gospel into a guidebook for gaining financial freedom.
- The Bible defines worldliness by centering morality where we intuitively know it should be. Worldliness is the lust of the flesh (a passion for sensual satisfaction), the lust of the eyes (an inordinate desire for the finer things of life), and the pride of life (self-satisfaction in who we are, what we have, and what we have done). Worldliness, then, is a preoccupation with ease and affluence. It elevates creature comfort to the point of idolatry; large salaries and comfortable life-styles become necessities of life. Worldliness is reading magazines about people who live hedonistic lives and spend too much money on themselves and wanting to be like them. But more importantly, worldliness is simply pride and selfishness in disguises. It’s being resentful when someone snubs us or patronizes us or shows off. It means smarting under every slight, challenging every word spoken against us, cringing when another is preferred before us. Worldliness is harboring grudges, nursing grievance, and wallowing in self-pity. These are the ways in which we are most like the world.
- There is a very definite structure in this passage in Hebrews 11.
- Each section begins with the Phrase, By Faith.
- Each logical thought ends with a causal phrase (…for, because, so that, etc.)
- Why did Moses walk away from the Three “P’s” (Power, Pleasure and Prosperity)? Two of these “causal phrases” answer this question. because he was looking ahead to his reward. because understood the brevity of sins rewards.
- Second Post The man of faith understands the reality of God.
- He grew up during the reign of Thutmose III Reigned for 54 years Launched no less than 17 military campaigns in 19 years. Brutally employed slave labor in accomplishing numerous building projects.
- Amenhotep II was the son of Thutmose III and a minor wife of the king: Merytre-Hatshepsut. He was not, however, the firstborn son of this pharaoh; his elder brother Amenemhat, the son of the great king's chief wife Satiah, was originally the intended heir to the throne since Amenemhat was designated the 'king's eldest son" and overseer of the cattle of Amun in Year 24 of Thutmose's reign.[2] However, between Years 24 and 35 of Thutmose III, both queen Satiah and prince Amenemhat died, which prompted the pharaoh to marry the non-royal Merytre-Hatshepsut.[3] She would bear Thutmose III a number of children including the future Amenhotep II. What’s the point of this history lesson? I simply want to emphasize that Moses grew up in a royal family which was power hungry and fiercely militaristic. Imagine an administration with the wealth of the US and the human rights record of Mainland China. In this context, Moses chose to sever his connection with the royals and identify himself with the Hebrew slaves.
- Third Post The man of faith understands that there is “Power in the blood”.
- Hebrews 11:27 (CEV) 27 Because of his faith, Moses left Egypt. Moses had seen the invisible God and wasn’t afraid of the king’s anger. At the burning bush, the invisible God became more real to Moses than the wrath of a Pharaoh whom he had grown up with.
- 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
- Numbers 12:3 (NIV) Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.
- Winston Churchill was once asked, “Doesn’t it thrill you to know that every time you make a speech, the hall is packed to overflowing?” “It’s quite flattering,” replied Sir Winston. “But whenever I feel that way, I always remember that if instead of making a political speech I was being hanged, the crowd would be twice as big.” Norman McGowan, My Years With Winston Churchill, Souvenir Press, London.
