It's amazing what can be accomplished through the life of someone who's completely sold out to following Jesus and full of the Holy Spirit. With God, anything is possible. Even in the middle of an angry mob, and despite all he had to lose, Stephen remained faithful to serving God and telling others about Jesus Christ, no matter what it would cost him. No matter who heard what he said. His heart was focused on what our hearts should be focused on: Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for you on the cross.
