Acts 8:2 (NKJV) 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Recently a celebration erupted in a prison, clapping and shouting the inmates were excited about a pastor that had come to share Gods Word. Isn't it interesting that God will open the hearts of the confined, yet the (free to choose) have little desire to hear?
Those who murdered Stephen hated the sound of redemption coming from his heart, they despised the Gift of Salvation, they rejected Gods Mercy, men who should rejoice over freedom from the slavery of sin, desired its deadly grasp.
Then there are those who recognize Gods Gift and lament over the death of a saint, may God raise up more who are willing to lay down their lives for the Kingdom!
Heavenly Father we look to You, our Hope is in You, our Help is in You, may the God of all creation hear the sound of rejoicing, in the camps of the Righteous. Amen
