2.  An invitation from Moses  To a member of his family  To go to the promised land  A fitting invitation for the Church to extend  “Come with us, and we will treat you well”

3.  Those heading for a better land  They had been delivered from slavery  They were headed to the promised land  Christians are headed to heaven ( Jn 14:1-3 )  The promised land was a gift from God  The Lord said, “I will give it to you”  This was a future possession for former slaves  Heaven is a prepared gift for God’s people  “I go to prepare a place for you” ( Jn 14:3 )  Former slaves to sin are now citizens of Heaven ( Phil 3:20 )  The gift of eternal life includes Heaven ( Rom 6:23 )

4.  This invitation was given to one who would be helped by accepting it  “Come with us, and we will treat you well”  An honest desire to do good for another person  God cares about all His creation ( Jn 3:16 )  All who accept the invitation to salvation will receive good things  They will journey with us to Heaven  They will share in God’s blessings along the way

5.  “the L ORD has promised good things to Israel.”  Moses received promises for Israel from God  At the burning bush ( Ex 3&4 )  Israel’s future was as secure as God’s promises  The Lord guarantees our offer of salvation  He promises to save all who come to Him ( Heb 7:25 )  He promises to keep them all the way ( 1 Jn 5:13 )
