Acts 7:1-45
Moses had said to Israelites,'God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.'
Stephen's lengthy defence takes the form of a review of the nation's history.
The court knows the facts, but the interpretations is revolutionary.
Israel of old rejected the prophets from Joseph and Moses onwards. The present generation has rejected the Messiah himself.
Why?
A round figure for a generation but also a number with special significance, making each new development in the history of God's mighty acts.
God allows people to suffer the consequences of their wrongdoing.
Joseph said that Jesus is the prophet mentioned by Moses, but their ancestor did not listen to the words of Moses so as today they rejected Christ.
History is His story, the Jesus Christ' story, let people cann't reject Jesus Christ is the Lord.
How?
From the history of Christ - the Bible to know the savior Jesus Christ. And through the Holy Sprit to read Bible.
