Bible Answer: Hello, Moses didn't get off scott clean when he killed the egyptian. Remember, others found out about it. As a result, Moses had to flee for his life. Also, when you look at it from a different perspective, Moses was trying to be the savior of his people then. Instead of waiting for God's time, Moses tried to do it himself a little too early. In doing so, Moses failed, and had to wait on God anyway. As you read the burning bush passages, it is evident that there is something haunting Moses. He keep hesitating and asking questions. It's possible that his incident with the Egyptian was on his mind. Also, as you read the account of Moses leading the Israelites, there are numerous times when he took matters into his own hands, and didn't wait for God. As a result, he was denied entrance into the Promised land. So, from a certain point of view, Moses was punished for killing the Egyptian. The story of Moses shows us many things, but there is one that stands out above all others. If God was able to use Moses, then he can use any of us as well. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
