What Does Acts 7:30 Mean?

Stephen reaches Exodus 3. Far from Egypt, in the bare wilderness, heaven breaks into an ordinary day of shepherding.

Note where God appears: a desert, a bush, holy ground with no walls. The speech keeps insisting that God is not confined to one house or land. The fire burned without consuming, announcing a presence that gives life rather than devours it. God knows how to find his servant in any wilderness.
