martyr acts 61 to 81 0815 75460 golden text lie thou faithful un to death and i will give thee a crown of life rev 210 the lesson is a whole approach to the lesson in stephen one of the seven chosen to minister in temporal things we have a magnificent il lustration of the truth set forth by the apostle paul in 1 timothy 313 for they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to them selves a good degree and great boldness in the faith which ts in christ jesus while all of the seven deacons were chosen because of their faith and their spirituality philip and stephen soon began to exercise a much wider ministry than the other five the one evan gelizing samaria and the other wit nessing in the synagogues of jeru salem to the hessiahship of jesus because of the intensity and fer vor of his discourses stephen soon attracted citywide attention and while many were brought to a knowledge of christ others were stirred to a bitter opposition which eventually resulted in the arrest of the fearless preacher his mock trial unjust condemnation and death thus he answered to the messenger in our lords parable whom the rebellious citizens sent after the absent nobleman saying we will not have this man to reign over us luke 1914 in acts 7 we have stephens elo quent and powerful defense he begins with the god of glory and ends with the glory of god he traces out in a remarkable manner israels past failures to recognize their deliverers when they first ap peared but whom they received and to whom they became subject on the second occasion apparently he was just in the process of mak ing the same application to the first and second advent of the lord jesusthus comparing their attitude toward him to that of their fathers toward moses and joseph but his angry hearers had become so en raged that they were incapable of logical thinking they stopped their ears gnashed upon him with their teeth and stoned him to death it is most significant that the young man saul of tarsus was a ringleader in bringing about the martyrdom of this servant of christ who can doubt that the glory shining in stephens face and his intercession on behalf of his murderers must have made a deep impression upon the heart and conscience of this bigoted pharisee who though he knew it not at the time was destined to continue the testimony which stephen had be gun tho historical setting the events recorded in chapters 6 and 7 followedvery closely upon the pentecostal enduement fol lowing the many conversions of that day the church of god in jerusalem grew rapidly as many more became obedient to the faith others besides the apostles began to preach the gospel persecution became more and more severe un til at last stephen the first martyr for christs sake was stoned to death by order of the sanhedrin verso by verse acts 68 stephen did reat wonders and miracles em religion verse 13 this man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law the charge was absolutely false and was very similar to that brought against our lord himself matt 2661 and later against the apostle paul- acts 245 6 when men are carried away by intense religious bigotry they do not hesi tate to stoop to untruthful charges against their opponents verse 14 we have heard him say that this jesus of nazareth shall destroy this place half truths readily become whole lies undoubtedly there seemed to be a basis of truth upon which these charges rested for stephen surely told them how the lord jesus had come to bring in a new age and to supersede the law of moses by the covenant of grace not understand ing the full import of this his hearers misapplied tiis words com pletely in their effort to inflame the prejudices of their coreligion ists verse 15 all that sat in the council saw his face as it had been the face of an angel undisturbed by all the hatred and bitter opposition of those whom he desired to help stephens very countenance manifested the deep peace and abounding joy that filled his soul gazing by faith upon the face of his adorable lord the glory that shone there was reflect ed in his own as in a mirror but even this failed to impress his an gry accusers chap754 when they heard these things they were cut to the heart the expression these things refers to stephens great discourse which is found in acts 7253 convincing as this address must have been to any open mind it only increased the anger and hatred of those who heard it so prejudiced were they against any thing that even seemed to discre dit their own religious views verse 55 he looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of god and jesus stand ing on the right hand of god as the martyr gazed heavenward it was given him to behold the glory of god and the lord jesus for whose sake he was about to die not infrequently have similar man ifestations of eternal realities been given to devoted saints about to leave this scene verse 56 i see the heavens opened and the son of man stand ing on the right hand of god it was as though he who sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high when the work of re demption was accomplished heb 13 1012 had risen up with loving concern in order to greet his de voted servant so soon to be usher ed into his presence verse 57 stopped their ears and ran upon him with one accord determined not to heed stephens words they turned deaf ears to his message and threw themselves upon him as if they were a pack of hungry wolves bent on his de struction verse 58 laid down their clojhes at a young mans feet whose name was saul apparently calm and collected despite the violence of the mob this young man stood by as a representative of the sanhedrin while stephen was slain little did he dream then that he soon would be enduring similar persecution for the name of christ verse 59 lord jesus receive my spirit commending his spirit to the saviour as the lord him 31 juniors to vie in tractor driving at toronto jan 19 thirtyone young men

as he has to make his stand known in parliament especially is this the case today government policies and practices play a bigger part in your daily life than ever before this is a condition which you
