[:en]Thoughts from Acts 7[:]

[:en]Stephen delivered a message to the Sanhedrin about how Israel resisted the truth and rejected the deliverers God sent to them.   Upon hearing it, they were so furious.  They dragged Stephen out of the city and stoned him to death.  Stephen’s last prayer was:  “Lord, Jesus, receive my spirit” and “Lord do not hold this sin against them” (vs. 59-60)[:]
