Moses Freed Slaves

Intro When God called Moses to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He appeared to him through a burning bush, declaring, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt... and I am come down to deliver them” (Exodus 3:7–8, KJV). Though Moses initially protested, saying, “Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:11), God assured him, “Certainly I will be with thee” (Exodus 3:12). Obedient to God's command, Moses returned to Egypt and boldly declared to Pharaoh, “Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go” (Exodus 5:1). Despite Pharaoh’s hardened heart, Moses, empowered by God, unleashed signs and plagues upon Egypt as a testament to divine power and justice. Through it all, he stood as God's chosen leader, fulfilling the promise, “I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians... and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm” (Exodus 6:6).
