June 12, 2010 – Acts 7-7:29

Here we have a summary of Genesis from Abraham to Moses. Since it is all review, I don’t really have anything new to add. The only thing I thought about was the idea of our Salvation History. Many people focus solely on the New Testament, but our history in the Old Testament is just as important. Here we see Stephen, about to be martyred, preaching not only about Jesus, but the history of the Jewish people. We need to know what came before Jesus to understand fully of what Jesus came for and what He taught. We cannot know Jesus fully without knowledge of the Old Testament. This is clear from this earliest of preaching and martyrdoms.
