Summary of Acts 7:17-43
The number of God’s people increased in Egypt. The new king was cruel to the people. So, Moses was born and educated in all the wisdom of Egypt. When he was 40, he went to see the Israelites. He defended one who was mistreated and killed the Egyptian doing so. Moses was rejected as their leader, so he fled to Midian and had two sons.
Another 40 years passed until an angel in the burning bush told Moses to return to his people. God spoke to him, and Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. They wandered for 40 years before they came to the Promised Land. The people rejected Moses again and instead worshipped a golden calf.
Questions for Acts 7:17-43
6) The Israelites were oppressed by the Egyptians who forced them to throw out their newborn babies so they would die. They were oppressed. They were slaves. Odds are, they had little-to-no possessions. They were probably hopeless. We’ve all been down and out in our own way, be it with little money or other ways. When you feel hopeless in your circumstances, call out to God and hope in Him.
7) The prophet is Jesus. Moses was repeatedly rejected, but He still followed God’s plan for his life. People still reject Jesus, but he still pursues them out of his love for them, never giving up.
8 ) People are quick to turn to something that is seen and something they made. Idols today can be anything, from people to material wealth, beauty, fitness, and so much more. Idol worship only leads to eternal damnation and punishment. Here, God gave His people over to the Babylonians. Today, you may fall in with the wrong crowd, rely on drugs, and so much more. Results: you pull away further from God.
