One Year Bible: Day 320 - Ezekiel 30:1-31:18; Hebrews 13:1-25; Proverbs 27:23-28:6
What a contrast there is between “Pharaoh king of Egypt” (Ezekiel 31:2) and “Jesus Christ” who is “the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Pharaoh had the appearance of “majesty”, yet he was “brought down” (Ezekiel 31:2,18). Jesus has a glory which will never be diminished. It will be “glory for ever and ever” (Hebrews 13:21). “Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse” (Proverbs 28:6).
Jesus didn’t have the riches of this world, but He lived in perfect
obedience to His Heavenly Father. Pharaoh had this world’s riches, but
he hardened his heart against the Lord. The Word of God leaves us in no
doubt about which way is the better way. It’s not the way of Pharaoh.
It’s the way of Jesus.
