Stephen's Martyrdom
from Sunday School Hosted by Mickey Baker
Stephens’s Martyrdom Lesson Text: Acts 6:8-7:2A #SundaySchool #COGIC #WhoUnderstandsFaith This week’s lesson continues with Stephen’s defense when he is before the Sanhedrin council. Because of his outspokenness, the council becomes enraged, and things quickly turn for the worst. Thought to Remember: One must either submit or resist Jesus Lessons learned: Stephens received a glimpse of heaven before he died. I believe that this is one of the glorious privileges that God grants faithful believers as they transition from earth to heaven. As I witnessed my father's transition, I noticed the expression of peace on his face at that moment. Likewise, I, too, want to glimpse into heaven and see my Lord standing, ready to deliver the words Well Done, my faithful servant. My Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for all the examples of true believers like Stephen. Gives us the power that we need to live for You and witness to others. Allow us to fulfill Your intention on Earth because we desire to see Jesus standing by the Father as approval of our life. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
