Acts 7:22 (New King James Version)
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.
3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
Interesting observations, for they are of the same man. Immersed in the wisdom and power of the world was of no use to God. Moses fled in weakness. He changed into the man that would notice and be drawn to the burning bush, to Holy Ground. Then he was ready to lead his people out of Egypt, for the Lord was his strength.
His story points to One that was to come. Jesus humbled himself, even to die on the cross. He will return to lead His people, but Almighty in words and deeds. No longer just the Shepherd and the Lamb, but the King of Kings.
The Old Testament got us ready for His first appearance. The New Testament gets us ready for the next.
