What does the Bible say about the significance of Moses being put in the river?

The account of Moses being placed in the river reflects God's sovereign plan for salvation through Jesus Christ. Just as Moses was hidden for a time and then brought forth to deliver the children of Israel, Christ was sent into the world and ultimately was buried and resurrected to draw us out of death. Moses represents the 'drawn out' nature of Christ, who was sent to save His people, demonstrating that God uses means, even the seemingly tragic ones, to accomplish His redemptive purposes.
