Acts 6:11
“Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.””
They are so upset with what Stephen is saying since he is full of the Holy Spirit, that they secretly instigate men to speak lies against Stephen. The language here suggests a bribe to those who will lie about what Stephen said in the past. The leaders and those making the accusation are way off track. Even their sentence structure reveals how far off they are. They place Moses and the Law before God. Moses and the law had taken the place of God in their hearts.
The law of God
Was nailed to the cross
In the Person of Jesus
Jesus did not abolish the law, but filled full the requirement for all who believe. Father God, thank You for sending Your Son, to cancel out the certificate of death against us. Thank You for removing it and nailing it to the cross. Help me to walk in Your freedom today, and to be filled full by Your Spirit, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
