Heirs, Part 1

Moses went from enslavement to emancipation as he was adopted by a Princess of Egypt. It is one of those stories of God’s providential guidance that prepared Moses to become a transactional leader for the Hebrew people. During his time in the courts of Pharaoh, as a momentary royal, he learned a thing or two about governance. The risk of arrogance associated with such a lofty status would be mitigated by a long stretch of tedious labor as a shepherd. For many years Moses would be on the lam with a bunch of lambs. Pushing the dull-witted beasts about the sparse country was the perfect finishing school for a man who would one day hold in his hands the original touch-screen tablet.

Just a few days ago I was reflecting on the adoption of my grandson Jude. One of the lines that had an impact on quite a few readers is worth revisiting. In respect to adoption I said this: The bond is powerful because the child has been chosen and at great sacrifice.  That was certainly true of Moses. His very name, Moshe, means, “plucked from the water.”  For the Egyptian Princess it was a foreign adoption. She scooped up a child from another race, culture and status and loved that child unconditionally. This new identity not only saved his life but it marked his destiny.

With this story ornamenting the background, Paul would say this to the church at Galatia: But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you’re no longer slaves, but God’s children; and since you’re his children, God has made you his heirs. ~Galatians 4:4-7

In respect to our relationship with Father God the same sentence holds true:The bond is powerful because the child has been chosen and at great sacrifice.  We are heirs of God. We will explore a bit more of what that means tomorrow.
