What Did Stephen Preach About Jesus Christ?

As a result, this too was the only significant thing that Stephen preach about Jesus Christ.  However, he made a heart-wrenching comparison between the Jews' attitude to Moses and their behavior toward Jesus Christ.  In his last sermon, Deacon Stephen accused the Jews of betraying and murdering the Just One, who is, Jesus Christ, instead of listening and obeying him as Moses advised them.  Before, their forefather had rejected and refused Moses as a leader and a deliverer over them. Finally, as Stephen preach about Jesus Christ, what infuriated the Jews the most? Was it his declaration that he was having a vision of heaven and of Jesus Christ? Or, was it because of their guilty consciences? They stone him to death for this!

Moses – His First Forty Years

Let's divide the life of Moses into three phases: the first forty years; the second phase; and the final forty years. The first phase is the awareness stage. He became aware of his life’s purpose, and for that reason “it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel” at age forty (Acts 7:23). Moses, at forty, became aware of his purpose as deliver and as “ruler and judge over” the nation of Israel. (Acts 7:27). “And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:” (Acts 7:24). However, what Moses did in each phase of his life is crucial to his success. He allowed his emotions to over-run him and as a result he committed murder. This has far-reaching impact on his ministry. It postponed his Assignment by forty years.
