How did Moses' choices reflect his understanding of God's promises?

Answered in 1 source

Moses' choices reflected his understanding of God's promises by valuing suffering with God's people over the riches of Egypt.

Moses understood that God’s promises were far more valuable than the fleeting pleasures of Egypt. By choosing to suffer with the people of God, Moses demonstrated his faith in God's covenant promises to Abraham, which included a future nation that would bring blessings. His choice to identify with the marginalized Israelites was not merely one of social or political inclination; it was deeply theological. Moses esteemed the reproach of Christ as greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, indicating that he believed in a future reward and a greater reality than what was visible at the moment. Thus, his choices were a direct reflection of his faith in God's promises.
