The Reproach of Christ
Commentators explain that Moses bore "the reproach of Christ" by identifying with God's people, who belonged to the promised Messiah (the Christ, or "Anointed One"). Citing Psalm 89, scholars note that the suffering of God's people has always been linked to their Messiah. Therefore, Moses was participating in the same kind of suffering that Christ and his followers would endure, connecting believers across all of history.
