Pursuit (Acts 7)

Stephen responds to false accusations by using the platform to share the gospel. He starts back at the patriarch of Israel, Abraham, trying to get the religious leaders to understand God's pursuit of them through the start of history. God is pursuing a relationship with each one of us and He frequently works through unlikely circumstances, but all of scripture points to Jesus. Everything leading up to Jesus's birth was part of God's glorious plan to bring us back to Him. When we have a relationship with God our lives should point to Jesus. Everything that we do is an opportunity to give glory to God, and show those we interact with that He loves them, and pursues them.
