acts 7
Today in Acts class we talked about how Stephen blasted the religious leaders with a rebuke so convicting that they killed him. It's in Acts chapter seven.But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven
and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;
and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up
and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears
and rushed at him with one impulse.
When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him;
and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man
named Saul.
They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said,
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"
Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord,
do not hold this sin against them!" Having said this, he died.
Powerful stuff. It's awesome to know that Jesus is standing to welcome all the people who will die today because of their faith.
