Acts 7:22 - 43

Stephen continues outlining his case for Jesus' identity as the promised Messiah. He traces the story through the line of Moses, who led the nation out of Egyptian captivity only to see the deceptive forces of idolatry woo away the affection of the nation from the God Who had delivered them. It was this Moses, said Stephen, who promised that another greater than he, but much like himself, would come to bring true deliverance to the nation.
