We read today: Acts 7:39-60
Did you notice the repetition of the word “hands?”
In 7:41, he mentions how in the incident of the golden calf, Israel rejoiced in the work of their hands.
- In 7:48, “However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands.”
- In 7:50, “Was it not My hand which made all these things?”
We can build stuff with our hands but the Most High God and Creator is not limited by man-made objects. We need to examine our hearts to see if we are going through the outward motions of worship, but have stiff necks and uncircumcised hearts and ears like Stephen’s audience (7:51). It is possible to boast in our knowledge of God’s Word, but not to obey it (7:53).
