Acts 7:12-13
“But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers on their first visit. And on the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh.”
Clever speech. It is tough on the surface level to see what Stephen is doing here, and how all of the Old Testament points towards Jesus. Jesus is coming again. He came once and was not recognized, just like how Joseph was not recognized, even by his family and closest people. Jesus will come again, and the whole earth will bow down to Him at that time.
Even those who
Rejected Jesus will
Recognize Him when
He reveals Himself at
His second coming
Jesus is coming back again! He is coming back to vanquish evil, once and for all. He will judge the world, and every knee will bow at that time, out of love for Him, or submission to His power and authority. Father God, I look forward to the day of Jesus’ return, and am hopeful today, patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer as I wait. Help me today, to walk out my purpose, with skill and passion in each area of life, as I walk with You and I wait for Your Son, in Jesus name amen
ACTION: Live forward
