Jesus had predicted that after His resurrection and ascension He would take His rightful place next to God the Father. After boldly witnessing for Christ before the Sanhedrin, Stephen was allowed to see the fulfillment of this promise from the Savior. Stephen died with great assurance before Christ. How we handle our own death speaks to what we believe. Christians have the opportunity to glorify God when we die, boldly declaring our confidence that we will spend eternity with our Savior.

There are defining moments in life that will change us forever. These times can inspire us or they can hurt us. Moses had one of these amazing experiences when he directly encountered God. Stephen reminds the Sanhedrin of the life of Moses to show that God worked in powerful ways outside of the Promised Land. Moses failed under his own strength, and once seasoned by God he became a great deliver for the people of promise. In the life of Moses, we find guidance for today. Moses learned to dare to forsake his own plans for God’s. Study Acts 7:20-37 with Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio on Return to the Word.
