REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. On the night before Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated, he gave a rousing and prophetic speech in Memphis, Tennessee. Do you think the “mountaintop” similarities between Moses and Dr. King were coincidental or providential?
2. Have you ever considered how two men who were used to liberate their people at different points in history, had so many things in common? Which similarity stands out to you the most and why?
3.  Following the example of Jesus Christ, both Moses and Dr. King lived their lives seeking to help, empower, and liberate others. Who are you burdened for and what action steps must you take to serve this people group?
