Day 34 — Stephen's Defense: Moses Part 2 (Acts 7:30-43) | May 29

After forty years in the wilderness, God appeared to Moses at a burning bush on Mount Sinai. Not in Jerusalem. Not at a temple. At a random thorn bush in the desert, and God declared the ground holy. The man Israel rejected became their deliverer, performing wonders at the Red Sea, receiving living oracles on the mountain. And still, the people pushed Moses aside. While he was on Sinai receiving God's word, they built a golden calf and celebrated what their own hands had made. Stephen quoted Amos: God gave them over. When people persistently reject what God offers, eventually He lets them have what they've chosen. Another deliverer now stood before the Sanhedrin. Would they repeat the pattern?
