I guess it shouldn't surprise me
from David Bahn - Reflections · host David Bahn
Stephen's testimony is clear: in spite of God's deliverance through Moses, the people rejected him and decided they wanted to go back to Egypt. I guess that shouldn't surprise me either. We're living that dream now 3500 years later. We have been delivered from sin, death, and damnation by the curtain-splitting death and earth-shaking resurrection of Jesus. We've been saved. But we too want to go back to Egypt. We give in to temptation. We yearn for the forbidden fruit. We are a broken people who need Jesus, but too often we look to other redeemers and rulers. Yet there is no other. We must not return to Egypt, but rather return to our Lord. For in Jesus alone is found true refreshment, satisfaction, comfort, peace, and joy.
