Moses, the savior of his time in the era time of the first chosen held as slaves by the King of Egypt
Not "The Savior" the fore shadowing of Jesus the Messiah. It takes taking the time to read it all, the entire Bible to know God's personal love to all to see it and trust God all in all, the Father of the risen Son (Jesus) for me at least.
Read it, and start a thread on it about it, To me the story is amazing and true to me at least

Hello Egesippus, since your pastor continues to bring up Moses as a baby to you, I'd be interested to know, what kinds of things is he telling you about him 
(Moses and his life's story is among the most interesting in the Bible, IMHO, especially since we can so clearly see God so powerfully at work in it, even from his birth).
Thanks
God bless you!!
~Deuteronomy (David)

Joseph was a Hebrew who found favor with the Pharaoh, and given 2nd in command in Egypt, which he had his people from Israel come to Egypt, and the Hebrews prospered, and became great in number.
But a Pharaoh rose up that did not know Joseph.
Previous pharaohs respected Joseph's role in saving their nation, while this new ruler had either no knowledge of or no respect for this history.
He said the people of Israel have become mightier than the people of Egypt, and feared if an enemy attacked them the Hebrews might join their enemy to help conquer Egypt.
He put the Hebrews as slaves with rigor, and heavy burden which seems so they would be in a weakened condition so they were worn out to where they could not fight that effectively, also it seems like he would keep their food intake low, and to use them to build their cities, structures, and work in the field.
They made their lives bitter with hard bondage, all their service was with rigour but the more they afflicted them the more they multiplied and grew.
Pharaoh spoke to the midwives to the Hebrew women and said if it is a boy kill it, but they feared God and kept them alive.
He told his people to cast every born son in to the river which seems like population reduction for them, and there would be less adult males to fight against them.
One woman hid her son 3 months and then she put it in the river in an ark, and Pharaoh's daughter went to the water to wash, and took the baby as her son and called him Moses.
She said this is one of the Hebrews' children.
Exo 2:6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
Gen 43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Exo 2:11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
Exo 2:12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Exo 2:13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
Exo 2:14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
Many people think Moses was a prince, and had much power, and authority, and could be successor to the throne.
But this is not true.
It was an abomination for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and associate with them, and their shepherds was viewed as lowly in their eyes even at the time Joseph was 2nd in command of the nation.
The Pharaoh's daughter knew Moses was a Hebrew as a baby.
When Moses was grown he went to look upon his brethren which he knew he was a Hebrew.
He was told he was a Hebrew when he could understand for the Pharaoh would not have him believing he was an Egyptian.
Also when he seen 2 Hebrews fighting he said to the one that did the wrong why do you smite your fellow.
Which he said who made you a prince, and judge over us, which if he was a prince having authority among the Egyptians he would of been a prince, and judge over them.
But he knew he was a lowly Hebrew the same as them for he was not scared to go against him saying you have no authority over us.
Moses was not the great man some people think he was, but was a lowly Hebrew in the eyes of the Egyptians, and Pharaoh would never give him authority over Egyptians, and he would never give him prince status.
But he had more favor than the other Hebrews by the Pharaoh because his daughter raised him as her son.

It’s a cool story Moses was an Israelite born at a time when pharoah had decrees all israelite male babies be thrown into the river and drown because they instituted a population control upon them as Egypt ruled over them at the time
a midwife delivered Moses but she couldn’t kill him fornber conscience so he was out in a basket and floated down the river in hopes he wouldn’t die
Pharaohs daughter found him and raised him as her son and then later in life , though Moses was one of pharoahs favorites . He sees an Egyptian persecuting a Hebrew and attacks and kills the man protecting the Hebrew from persecution
He flees for fear of punishment into Egypt and afterwards God calls him to re establish a relationship with the children of Israel who had been sent into Egypt during the great famine when they were given goshen through Joseph’s intercession
It’s really a neat story I may have messed up a few details , but the idea is in Moses life you see a shadow of Christs life
moses was born and called to deliver israel from slavery in Egypt at a time the rule decreed all make children of isreel be killed
a Jesus was born and called to deliver israel and all the world from slavery to sin as they had become over time servants defiles by it and kind Herod decreed all he make children of Israel under two be killed
moses fled into Egypt and later returned . Jesus parents took him to Egypt to save him from herods decree and later returned after as moses did
Moses spent fourty days and nights fasting in the cloud and receiving the covenant for Israel from God and became the one mediator between they and God for thier covenant
jesus spent fourty days and nights fasting in the desert just before he began preaching the new covenant being the one mediator between God and mankind
Ect anyways it’s a really cool story Moses birth and how he came about being called to deliver israel and also how it foreshadows Jesus and the new covenant you can find the story in the beginning of exodus . It really lays out the context of what’s happening before Moses birth but it’s important for the story
