Moses was a man of great faith who made difficult choices to follow God. He refused the pleasures of Egypt to identify with God's people, even though it meant suffering. Moses chose to endure hardship and rejection rather than renounce Christ. He looked past temporary pleasures to the eternal reward of God's kingdom. His example teaches us to make righteousness our priority and dedicate ourselves fully to serving Christ.
