Moses' Self-denial

Reflecting on Hebrews 11:24–25, Jeremiah Burroughs ponders how Moses relinquished his noble and comfortable rights as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter to find greater honor as a suffering son of Abraham. Burroughs explains how Christians are called to deny all honors, privileges, and delights for the sake of Christ. He also shows how God is especially honored when we forgo selfish desires at a time when they seem most advantageous to us.

You will benefit greatly to see how faith acts to transform losses caused by self-denial into true honor. This is an insightful, practical book—a helpful antidote for our natural selfishness.
