"Birth of a Savior" Exodus 2:1-10 "Some are born great some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." That line from Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" challenges its hearer to accept his greatness. As Exodus 2 opens, we're introduced to a child who was not born to greatness but became one of the most important men in human history because others put him in a place to become great.
