Advent services continued
at Lucan United Church Sun
day as Rev. Brown spoke of
Jesus as the fulfillment of
Old Testament hopes of a
Messiah. He was the
Prophet God promised
through Moses, one who was
to be “like Moses, yet far
greater.”
“Many things in life of
Jesus closely parallel the ex
perience of Moses, revealing
Him as the One promised by
God so long ago”, said Mr.
Brown. Just as Moses was
saved from death during the
time of persecution, by
God’s loving intervention, so
Jesus was delivered from
Herod’s attempts to
massacre all children under
two.
God used Moses to
miraculously produce water
for the Israelites in the
