Somebody said that, "The main lesson of history is that we do not learn the lessons of history!" Stephen, on trial for blasphemy against Moses and God (Acts 6:11), reminded his accusers of Moses' personal history – born under foreign rule, saved from infanticide, educated as a prince in Egypt, murdered an Egyptian, lost the confidence of his own people and fled for his life from Pharaoh's wrath, becoming a shepherd in Sinai, marrying the daughter of a pagan priest … and all by the age of 40 (Acts 7:20-29). Not a sparkling CV for one of Israel's most revered leaders.
