FAMOUS LAST WORDS//WEEK 6 - ”Do Not Hold this Sin Against Them”

Stephen is introduced as a servant of Christ. He also preached the grace and truth of the gospel of Jesus for which many people hated him. Although Stephen seemed to do everything right, he ultimately lost his life. He died for his faith. It may not have been obvious at the time, but Stephen’s most effective contribution to the kingdom of God came through his martyrdom. Paul was not converted by seeing Stephen delivered; he was converted by seeing Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, testifying of Jesus’ glory in the midst of pain. Through his death, Stephen became one of the greatest evangelists.
