Livia - Acts 7:54-56

When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” (Acts 7:54-56 NIV)

Steven was a witness for Jesus - he called the people "stiff necked" and "resistant" and he told them "you have not obeyed". They got so mad they stoned him.

Saul who was later named Paul was the lead guy when it came to executing Christ followers. We know , later he encountered Christ and was transformed by His grace.

Liv said she believes that Stephen was allowed to see a glimpse of Gods glory to comfort him and to witness to Saul and all those stoning him that Jesus was alive an the true son of God.

Amen Livi-g!
