In Stephen's historical narrative regarding Moses, he came to his Divine Commission at the Burning Bush. Learn how the thorny bush is a picture of Israel!
Stephen's message about Moses was powerfully applied to the Lord Jesus and Israel's rejection of Him when he got to verses 35 to 37. Dr. John Phillips wrote that Stephen "skillfully dropped his brush and pallet and picked up his sword" as he brought home to the Council all he had been saying about Moses in light of Jesus! With Moses, God honored the one Israel had rejected. He sent them the very one they had rejected to be their ruler and deliverer. His implication was that the Jews had done to Jesus what their forefathers did to Moses.
It is often said, by Jewish people today and others, as well, that if Jesus was their Messiah, the leaders of Israel would have known and recognized Him. However, that would not be consistent with her spiritual leaders throughout her history. This was the point Stephen was making in Acts 7. It was their typical response NOT to accept the men God sent to deliver them, as exemplified with Joseph and Moses - and how God's prophets were treated. What they did to Jesus was exceedingly more serious, for in having rejected Him, they rejected the Great I AM of the Burning Bush - they only One Who provides spiritual deliverance!
