In the newly released Prince of Egypt, there are many lessons, but one that seems timely.

One insignificant person, who would have lived his life in obscurity, if not early death, was chosen to lead a people out of captivity.

God used Moses to open the door, but the people had the choice of leaving or staying in bondage.
