"Holy Spirit"

"Holy Spirit"
Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

Stephen is the first martyr of the Christian Church. Stephen had told others about Jesus numerous times. Each time he repeated what he knew about Jesus and His love and forgiveness, and His Salvation, the more upset the Jewish people became. They wanted to follow the Law and could not bear to hear anything contrary to the Law. The Jewish people became so angry that they wanted to kill Stephen and kill him they did. Nothing else mattered to Stephen but Christ; people could throw rocks at him, bite him, scream and holler, it just didn't matter. He would tell the wonderful story of Jesus everywhere he went and nothing short of death would stop him. What Stephen did in his last minutes before he was stoned should be always in our memory. Here the people were stoning him to death and yet Stephen was able to look all the way past them and how they treated him to the Glory of God and see Jesus setting at His right hand. Stephen allowed the Holy Spirit to lead him all the way to heaven. Where will you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you???

Say: Holy Spirit lead me here in this life and all the way to Heaven. Amen
