The Murdered Servant

Acts 6-7

Stephen preached the gospel with wisdom and boldness and was faithful to Jesus even at the cost of his life.

In his death as the first Christian martyr, Stephen followed in the footsteps of his Savior. Both Jesus and Stephen were falsely accused and charged with blasphemy. Both prayed for their executioners. And both entrusted their spirits to God as they died. As a follower of Jesus Christ, Stephen reflected his Master in life and in death.

Because we have been saved through the sacrifice and death of Jesus, we bear witness to His great glory, even when we are maligned or persecuted for our faith.
