Acts 7:30-50; Psalm 39:1-13; Proverbs 1o:10
Why is Stephen giving a history lesson to the chief priests & leaders of the temple? Surely they know this material since they have been studying it their whole lives & teaching it to others. As we continue to read this sermon, we will see that Stephen has a very important point - the chief priests & leaders know the material, but they refuse to open their eyes to the truth that is right in front of them. Stephen is reminding them of the prophecies & the wicked hearts of the people. We will keep reading this sermon tomorrow.
Psalms & Proverbs tell us to recognize our sins and to turn away from them by relying on the power of the Lord. Be honest with yourself & realize that you can't do it on your own, then reach out to the Lord.
