God's Strategic Promise-Fulfillment

Acts 7:17-22

'As the time drew near for God to fulfil his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased. Then "a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt" He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to throw out their newborn babies so that they would die. ‘At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child. For three months he was cared for by his family. When he was placed outside, Pharaoh's daughter took him and brought him up as her own son. Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.' (NIVUK)

Stephen did not need to defend himself at his trial. The Holy Spirit gave Him the words to proclaim that God always keeps His Word, and is still doing so through Jesus (Luke 12:11). The Sanhedrin court claimed to believe in God's promises, so Stephen reminded them of the way in which God fulfilled His promise in their national history - preparing them to hear that Jesus was God's promised 'Righteous One', even though they had rejected Him (Acts 7:52-53). It was their opportunity to repent and choose to follow Jesus.
