Introduction
Stephen’s speech concludes with accusations against his persecutors for opposing God’s Holy Spirit, and he is put to death by stoning. Stephen becomes the first Christian martyr. The church in Jerusalem undergoes persecution, and Saul imprisons many of the believers.
Today’s Scripture Reading: Acts 7:44—8:3
Today’s Key Verse: Acts 7:55
Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw God’s glory and Jesus standing at the right side of God.
Reflect
Why did the members of the Council become so enraged (verse 54)? Stephen’s final words (verses 59-60) parallel those of Jesus on the cross (Luke 23:34, 46). What are your thoughts about Stephen? From the readings these past four days, what have you learned about God?
Pray
God of love and mercy, draw me close to you and fill me with your Holy Spirit. Order my steps this day, and teach me to walk in your ways. I praise and glorify you, O God. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 8:4-25: The gospel is preached in Samaria.
