Let us remember that Jesus suffered in every way. This is especially seen in Isaiah 53, where we hear of the cause of his sufferings and the glorious which would follow. Jesus suffered to bring us to the Father. Thus he is the one to whom belongs the full reward.

“By trusting, the parents of Moshe hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they weren’t afraid of the king’s decree” Hebrews 11:23 & Exodus 2:1-4 (Complete Jewish Bible).

The child was kept alive because of trust. Trust, faith, and belief are powerful motivators. His parents saw that this young child was beautiful, and even though they did not keep him, he was still kept alive, and was raised in an adopted family.

The beautiful reward belongs to God. It is God’s reward. By this recognition, our hearts become alive. We realize that in Messiah, we belong to God. This is beautiful because the creator is God.

The parents of Moses weren’t afraid of the king’s decree, which was death to all baby boys. Are we afraid of the king’s decree?
