<p>11:28- see on 1 Cor. 10:10.</p><p><i>By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborns should not touch them</i>- This is another example of how the faith of one party can save others. It would not be surprising if Israel were not all obedient to the command to daub their doorposts with blood; but they were saved by Moses' faith rather than their obedience.</p><p>Israel's deliverance through the Red Sea seems to be attributed to Moses' faith (Heb. 11:28,29; Acts 7:36,38). Yet in the actual record, Moses seems to have shared Israel's cry of fear, and was rebuked for this by God (Ex. 14:15,13,10). Yet in the midst of that rebuke, we learn from the New Testament, God perceived the faith latent within Moses, beneath that human fear and panic.&nbsp;we can as it were do the work of the Saviour Himself, if we truly live as in Him. In this spirit, <i>Moses&rsquo;</i> faith in keeping the Passover led to <i>Israel&rsquo;s </i>salvation, they left Egypt <i>by </i>him (Heb. 3:16; 11:28); and when Aaron deserved death, he was redeemed by Moses&rsquo; prayer on his behalf (Dt. 9:20)<i>.</i> Israel were intensely disobedient to God from the time of their exodus from Egypt, even before their deliverance from the Red Sea (Dt. 9:24 = Ex. 20:5,6). Only because of Moses&rsquo; faithful keeping of the Passover did the Angel which destroyed the firstborn (both Egyptian and Hebrew- see on 1 Cor. 10:10) not destroy the whole of Israel as God had initially planned. Moses faith was not simply that God would save His people in the moment of crisis; the faith spoken of in Hebrews 11 is faith in the promises to Abraham and in his promised seed. We can conclude that these things were what motivated Moses' faith.</p>
