J.C. Ryle emphasizes the profound choices made by Moses, who, by faith, rejected the privileges of being Pharaoh's daughter’s son to embrace suffering and affliction with the people of God. He chose to identify with a despised people rather than enjoy the fleeting pleasures and riches of Egypt, demonstrating that true faith often requires significant sacrifice. Ryle highlights that Moses' decisions were driven by a deep faith in God's promises, which allowed him to see beyond immediate comforts to eternal rewards. This faith led Moses to choose the path of reproach and hardship, ultimately resulting in a legacy that continues to inspire believers today. Ryle calls on the congregation to reflect on their own faith and the sacrifices they are willing to make for their spiritual journey.
