Acts 7:37

"This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years."

Key Reflection

This passage highlights Moses' role as a miraculous leader who performed divine works to guide Israel through their exodus and journey, symbolizing God's ongoing faithfulness and provision during trials. The narrative foreshadows Jesus Christ, who similarly performs miracles and leads his people, though on a greater scale, ultimately pointing to the fulfillment of these signs in the life and mission of Jesus.

Stephen introduced this to remind them of the promise of a Messiah; to show his fait in it; and particularly to remind them of their obligation to hear and obey him. {f} "said unto the children on Israel" De 18:15,18; Ac 3:22 {1} "like unto me" "as myself" {g} "him shall ye hear" Mt 17:5 __________________________________________________________________
