Imagine you're playing hide and seek, and your friend finds you for the very first time. That's kind of like what happened here: God found Abraham when he was living in a place called Mesopotamia before he moved to another place named Charran.

Bối cảnh lịch sử

The book of Acts was written by Luke around 60-80 AD, and this part is from Stephen’s speech. The audience were Jewish leaders who were listening to him because they didn't agree with his message. This took place in a setting where early Christians were trying to explain their beliefs within the context of Jewish history.
