Moses was delivered as a baby from drowning in the River Nile by Pharaoh’s daughter upon which he derived his name. He had the passion to intervene for his countrymen but his deeds was misunderstood and his deeds later came to light and he had to become a fugitive. He later became Israel’s Prophet, Lawgiver and Deliverer.

Christ Our Lord, is the fulfillment of the scriptures. However, those who were from the same place with Him rejected Him. He intervened and healed the people and yet they refused to believe in Him.

As Christians, we are more privileged than the people of Chorazin and Bethsaida because we have a better understanding of who Jesus and the deposit of faith but if this expression remains only on the level of understanding then we might become rejected by God Himself at the end of our lives. May God grant us His blessings and Favour’s. Amen.
