Acts 7:38-40
38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us. 39 Our fathers refused to obey him, but thrust him aside, and in their hearts they turned to Egypt, 40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’
The Angel of God, Christ Himself, burned in the bush and led His people to deliverance. He gave His word on tablets of stone and in speaking through Moses, but the people refused and made the works of their hands their gods. Even now the choice remains - do we have ears to hear and eyes to see from our hearts what God has done in the suffering from death to life of Jesus Christ for us? Or do we feebly attempt to forge our own gods by effort, intellect, and selfish ambition to give our lives to?
