How would you like to stand before the authorities and plead your case! Stephen did just that. He stood before people who he probably knew were going to kill them and gave them a history of what Joseph and Moses went through and we can read in the book of Exodus. He stood there and told them that they themselves were not filled with the Holy Spirit, they were stiff necked and all they wanted to do was persecute! He spoke his mind and was stoned for it! He though was able to see heaven opened up before him and received him as he fell asleep. I could only pray that God would give me the boldness to stand up before others to preach what I believe to be true. That Jesus came to teach and to save and the only way to heaven is through him. The rest of the world will live an empty life!
May you read and believe!
Pastor Steve
