Stephen

Had learn a lot from yesterday discipleship.
Finished study of the book of Roman.

Studied chapter 6 and 7 of Acts which is about Stephen, a man full of faith. He did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. However there are opposition arose, they produced false witnesses and accused Stephen. At the end, Stephen was stoned to death. But the most interesting part is the last verse of chapter 7 saying “Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell ASLEEP.
So, Stephen didn’t died because of the severe injuries and pain caused by stoning, but he just feel asleep without feeling any pain.
