"This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up a prophet for you from your own people[d] as he raised me up.’"(Acts 7:37)
Have you ever been accused of not knowing what you're talking about? Maybe the accusation has gone so far as saying you were against something that you in fact were not against? You find yourself having to prove that you do know what you're talking about.
I picture that this was what it was like for the early disciples when accused of trying to repeal and replace the Jewish faith. And yet they probably would have said know we are pointing towards its fulfillment and returning to its purest form.
Stephen had to prove that he knew the Torah quite well. And often we are called on to show that we do know what we are talking about. Whether anyone is actually listening is a different issue.
Blessings,
Ed
