What Does Acts 7:3 Mean?
Stephen quotes the call of Genesis 12:1, the hinge of the whole story of Scripture: one man summoned out of everything familiar, toward a land God does not yet name.
Abraham obeyed and went out, not knowing where the road led (Hebrews 11:8). Faith still moves like this, forward into what God will show rather than what we already see. The call of Jesus carries the same shape: leave the nets, follow me, and the destination unfolds along the way.
