Stephen

Stephen was chosen as a deacon to take care of the widows and the poor. He was a man full of faith, grace, and wisdom.

The Light of Glory

When some men tried to argue with him, they could not stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. When he was brought to trial, his face shone like the face of an angel.

Looking up to heaven, Stephen saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

Forgiveness to the End

As they threw stones at him, Stephen prayed: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he kneeled down and cried out: “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.”
