But if you remember when Moses judged between the two Hebrews when he was 40 years old,
and then the one person criticized, and what he said is,
Who made thee a ruler and a judge?
You know what the answer to that question is? God.
God made Moses a ruler and a judge.
Because, and this is Stephen referring back to the story,
because the next verse said,
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge?
The same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer.
And so the first judge you have in the Bible is actually who?
Moses.
But you see this person, well, who are you to judge me?
Who made you a ruler and a judge?
And you know what, when people say that about pastors in 2024,
it's like people that have been ordained properly and biblically,
and have the Spirit of God upon them,
Who are you to judge me?
Who made you a ruler and a judge?
Uh, God.
If you've got a problem with it, take it up with God.
