By Faith Moses (Heb 11:23-29): Esteeming the Reproach of Christ with His People

The letter to the Hebrews is written to encourage its persecuted and isolated audience to keep enduring in faith, trusting God's promises, for Christ is better than all they gave up.

Hebrews 11 gives examples of brethren of the past who lived by faith and endured while looking to those promises.

In the midst of Hebrews 11 we have the convicting and motivating example of Moses' faith which refused rank, sin, and riches in order to embrace reproach, Christ, and His people.
