Introduction

Today’s reading is a continuation of Stephen’s defense before the Council, and it comprises the longest part of his speech. He recounts the story of Moses and the Israelites’ disobedience and their rejection of God.

Today’s Key Scripture: Acts 7:37

“Moses is the one who said to the people of Israel, ‘God will send you a prophet just as he sent me, and he will be one of your own people.’ ”

Today’s Reading 

Acts 7:23-43

Reflect

Stephen recalls Israel’s disobedience and the people’s refusal to obey Moses. In Christian tradition, Jesus is regarded as a prophet like Moses (see Deuteronomy 18:15) who is rejected by his own people (Luke 4:28-30). Just as Moses led the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt, Jesus is regarded as the “new Moses” who liberates people from bondage to sin and death. What are your thoughts about these parallels between Moses and Jesus?

Pray

Holy Jesus, by freeing me from bondage to sin and death, you have given me the gift of eternal life. I thank and praise you for loving me so. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those experiencing rejection

Tomorrow’s Reading

Acts 7:44—8:3: Stephen is put to death.
