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 Key Scripture: 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.

Today’s Reading 

Acts 7:44—8:3

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 Good News is preached in Samaria.
