Since the beginning of the new school year in September 2015, Rev Foster has been speaking at two morning assembly meetings each week. His theme for 2015-16 is DV, "Pictures of Christ in the Bible." Moses the eighth picture of Christ 9. His Season of Seclusion. Before he entered upon his real mission, Moses spent many years in obscurity. Who would have thought that this refugee in "the backside of the desert", was destined to such an honourable future? He was to lead Israel out of bondage So it was with the incarnate Son of God. Before He began His public ministry, He was hidden away in despised Nazareth. "Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see," John 1:45-46. Who that saw Him there in the carpenter's shop, could have imagined that He was ordained of God to the work of redemption, that He was the Messiah!
