“Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.”‭‭Acts‬ ‭7:58-60‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because of the love Stephen had for the people he was preaching to. He knew the message would result in harm to him, but needed to deliver it anyway for God’s purpose. We know Paul was in the crowd and who knows who else saw his love and had a later awakening. Please pray that we and our friends love our friends enough to follow God’s nudge when he wants us to speak the truth in love. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
