Exodus (Sharing Book)

Moses began life drawn from the river and raised in Pharaoh’s palace, surrounded by privilege and trained for leadership. Yet the faith taught by his mother never left him. When he saw his people suffering, he acted rashly—and his attempt to deliver Israel in his own strength ended in failure. Fleeing Egypt, Moses became a shepherd in Midian.

There, across forty quiet years, God reshaped him. The pride of Egypt faded, and lessons of humility, trust, and reverence took root. When Moses finally recognized his own weakness, God met him at the burning bush and called him back to the land he had fled.

With Aaron at his side, Moses stood before the king of Egypt with God’s message: “Let My people go.” Pharaoh’s defiance brought on a series of plagues that shook the nation. Yet behind every judgment was God’s determination to free His people.

When the final plague broke Egypt’s resistance, Israel marched out. But Pharaoh pursued. At the Red Sea, God placed His presence between the two camps—darkness to the Egyptians, light to Israel. When Moses stretched out his rod, the sea split, creating a pathway of deliverance. Israel crossed safely; their enemies did not.

In a single night, God freed an entire nation.

This remarkable narrative—drawn from Patriarchs and Prophets and The Great Controversy—reveals the God who delivers His people and still offers freedom to all who trust in Him.
