About this episode
We often like our heroes to be ready-made. We want them to spring onto the stage of history fully formed, with a clear mission and a flawless record. But God is a master craftsman, and He does not mass-produce His instruments. He hammers them, heats them, and plunges them into the cold water of adversity. The man God will use to deliver a nation, the man who will speak with God face to face as a man speaks with his friend, begins his public career with an act of vigilante justice, a shallow grave in the sand, and a forty-year exile into obscurity. Moses, at age forty, is a man of two worlds. He is also a Hebrew, a son of the covenant, and he knows it. But the method he chooses is the method of a prince of Egypt, not a prince of God.
