To: InkStone; Hebrews 11:6
A story of divine courage; may we be as strong for our shared faith.

Amen

I can think of a lot of verses in which Jesus is seated at the right hand of God
but this is the only account I can recall with Jesus standing to the right of God
this makes Stephen even more amazing, that he would bring our Lord to His feet

I pray everyday for the courage and the heart of Stephen

Bless you K.
There’s a guy who looks like an Old Testament prophet in my town. From time to time he stands on the busiest corner with a bullhorn, proclaiming the Gospel. He wears a large sign that says “Repent- Jesus Is Coming Soon”

I’ve spoken to him, and he’s the most soft spoken and gentle man...

It had never occurred to me to wonder why Stephen saw Jesus standing and whether Scripture might be implying causation. Now I am. Thanks, K.
