In his consclentlousness ne opposed
Jesus, for ne regarded him as an
lmpostor. Saul is TO De commenced
IN that he responded to his conscience,
but he is to be condemned for ms
attitude toward Jesus; Tor there was
| overwhelming evidence that Jesus was
GODS Son ana came IN tulhllment OF
the Scriptures. The resurrection OF
Christ was such an outstanding mira
cie-a proof OF the Deity OF Christ
that there was no room left Tor doubt

In order to understand the slgnln-
canoe OF his martyrdom we must OBJ
tain a-syntheuc view OF his LIE.
l. Who stephen was GID. He
was one of the seven who were ap-
pointed to look after the temperate
ties of the church.
2. Why Stephen was opposed (6:S-
15). In his work he testified of Christ
and by the Holy Spirit wrought mira
cles. These mighty works aroused
the people, The following features
characterized him: Q) Wisdom,
which means common sense; (2)
grace. which means beauty of charac-
ter; 60 power. He had the ability
to do wonders and great signs and
speak the truth effectively The men
of the opposing synagogues were not
able to withstand the wisdom and
the Spirit by which he spake." They
arrested and brought him before the
great council Even here they could
not silence him by argument, so they
decided to do it by violence.
8. Stephen stoned (7:54-60). Before
the council he made a magnificent de-
Tense. This he did by tracing the
history of Israel from the call of Abra-
nam to the crucifxion of Christ. His
aim in this review was to show that
God never had been localized and that
the temple was but small part of
Gods plan. In his address he did
not speak against the temple, but
| showed that God did not in the full
proved this from Scripture elsa. 81
