OF EXODUS
CHAPTER 18
JETHRO BIBLE STUDY LESSON
MOSES AND JETHRO BIBLE STORY
Nice to see you again at our
Daily Bread! It's been an eventful trip so far with Moses and the children of
Israel during their exodus from Egypt. By the Lord's hand, they escaped the
clenches of Pharaoh in the Red Sea and most recently, they defeated the
attack of the Amalekites.
Back in Midian, Moses' father-in-law
Jethro heard of all that God had done for Moses and His people and how He
brought Israel out of Egypt. When Moses left Midian to go to Egypt,
Zipporah, his wife was with him, but he sent her back. So Jethro took
Zipporah and Moses' two sons to visit Moses. It was mentioned earlier that
Moses first son was named Gershom, because Moses said, I have been an alien
in a strange land. Moses second son was named Eliezer, which means, help of
my God, because Moses said, for the God of my father was my help and
delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.
Moses and the children of Israel were
camped in the wilderness at the mount of God when Jethro and Zipporah and
Moses two sons arrived. Moses told Jethro all that the Lord had done to
Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake. Moses told about all that
they went through on their way to the Promised Land and how the Lord
delivered them from turmoil. For all of these things, Jethro was happy and
he said, Blessed be the Lord. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all
gods, because in the thing that they were most proud of, He was more
powerful. Jethro took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God and Aaron and
all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with Jethro in front of God.

MOSES AND JETHRO BIBLE CONVERSION
The next day, Moses sat to judge the
people. That means that whenever there was any kind of problem, the
people came to Moses with it, and he told them what was right and wrong. If
there were other kinds of problems that needed resolutions, Moses would
decide what to do. The people stood by Moses from the morning until the
evening, as you can imagine, with such a large amount of people, there were
many problems.
When Jethro saw all that Moses did for
the people, he said, Why do you do all this alone? Moses answered, Because
the people ask me what God wants them to do. When they have a problem, they
come to me and I judge between one and another and I teach them the statutes
of God, and His laws.
Jethro said, This isn't good. You're
going to wear away, both you and the people with you because the burden is
too heavy for one person. Listen to me and I'll give you advice and God
will be with you. Guide the people to God, then you can bring the disputes
to Him. Teach them ordinances and laws, and show them the way to live
righteously and to do the work that they must do.
JETHRO BIBLE STUDY ON SHARING THE LOAD
MOSES AND JETHRO DISCUSSION
And also, choose out of
all the people, men that fear God, honest men, hating covetousness, and put
them in charge over thousands, and hundreds and fifties and tens, and let
them judge the people. Every important matter they will still bring to you,
but small matters, they can judge, so it'll be easier on you and they'll
bear the burden with you. If you do this and God approves, then you won't
be wearied and God's people will go to their place in peace.
As you may well imagine, Moses must
have been pretty weathered after all he had done but he felt how important
his job was and his devotion to it was so strong that he never even thought
of getting help from others. But what Jethro said made sense, to give it to
God and things would be easier, so Moses listened to his father-in-law and
did all that he said. And Jethro left and went back to Midian.
Paul teaches us that we all are blessed with different
Spiritual gifts in the body of Christ ... Different
administrations to serve one another and our Lord in
harmony, and without overwhelming one or demeaning
another. Check out the studies in the C-O-O-L Related
