The Gospel in the Life of Moses: The Pain of Betrayal

Reflection Questions

1. Describe the way in which Miriam and Aaron confront their brother Moses. What are they criticizing him for? What would it have felt like to be Moses in this encounter?

2. The sermon describes distance and revenge as two common responses when we are hurt in relationships. How does Moses respond to his brother and sister attacking him? How does God respond? 

3. How do you relate to this scene of betrayal? Is there a relationship that comes to mind where you have felt more like Moses? Where you have acted more like Miriam and Aaron?

4.The sermon describes how the Good News of the Gospel is sufficient to provide healing for the pain Moses would have felt and to provide forgiveness for the pain that Aaron and Miriam caused. How does the Good News of the Gospel speak to a current relational difficulty you are having?
