For 400 years, Egypt enslaved Israel in the darkness of bondage. But God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he heard his people’s cries and took action. He saved Moses, a Hebrew baby boy from certain death, raised him to power in Egypt, then hid him in exile in Midian to prepare him for his ultimate calling: the saving of Israel. Fast forward 1,500 years, the Israelites were again enslaved in darkness, but this time because God had been silent for 400 years. Like before, God would speak through a baby boy; the baby boy Jesus who would not only save Israel but save the entire world!
