He Tabernacles Among Us

I don’t think we fully grasp or appreciate the magnitude of Stephen’s words of conviction for his audience. It’s insulting and offensive when heard by Stephen’s hearers, but it’s meant to convict because its true. These are the highest authorities of the Jewish religion. And they’re hearing from little deacon Stephen, “uncircumcised in heart and ears,” For Christians that’s hearing, “You hell-bound hypocrite who really isn’t saved.” Uncircumcised means they’re covenant breakers!
