STEPHEN BECOMES THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR A O . ? By NEWMAN CAMPBELL THE FIRST episode in today's lesson shows how full of love, understanding and sense of right doing ruled the early Christian church. When some of the Greek Chris tians complained that their wid ows were not receiving their fair share of the community posses sions, instead of disputes and arguments, the 12 apostles ap pointed seven men to set the mat ter right, saying "It is npt rea son that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables." After praying, they appointed Stephen, and six others?all with Grecian names?to look into the matter and set it right. Would that Christian congregations to day could settle their differences In this spirit of love and justice! "Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people." Then some Jews in the synagogue who A O.V?. came "Jesus?the Just One; of whom ye have been now the be* trayers and murderers." When they heard these sayings they were "cut to the heart, and they gnashed their teeth at him." However, Stephen, "being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly Into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus stand* ing on the right hand of God, And said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." At that the crowd went wild. They rushed upon him, cast him out of the city and stoned him. In the midst of the stoning, Stephen called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."' Then he knelt, saying, like Jesus upon the cross, "Lord, lay not this sin to (heir charge." And when he had said this "he "fell asleep." A young man was present to see Stephen stoned to death and people laid their clothes at his MlMUKI verse "To you W is siren in the behalf of Christ, not only to be lieve on Oim, but also to suffer for Bis sake."?Philippians 1:S9. had come from other countries which gave the synagogue the name of the Synagogue of the Libertines, disputed with Steph en, but "were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke." So they induced some evil men to testify that Stephen had spoken "blasphemous words against Moses, and against God." These men stirred up the peo ple and the elders and they caught Stephen and brought him to the council. There the high priest asked him it it was true that he had said that "this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the cus toms which Moses delivered us." I Stephen sat still and those that looked at him saw his face like that of an angel. Then Stephen reviewed the past of the Jewish nation from the time of Abraham to the time of Jesus and showed how in every generation the prophets sent by God had been -ersecuted and murdered. Then -d oa copyrighted outlines produced ?si Council of Churches of Christ Pistrlbuted by King feet. The mm was Saul, who con aented to the death of this saint ly man. Later this same Saul persecuted the Christians, enter ing every house and dragging people out and putting them In prison. As it was with Jesus after His crucifixion, friends cared for His body. So it was with Stephen. "Devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamen tation." And this Saul, later converted, became one of the greatest of Christian preachers, and eventu ally was martyred. We do not have to suffer perse cution and martyrdom in our day, hut we do have our moments of suffering. Do we bear them with the spirit of 8tephen, calling upon Jesus to help us to suffer cheer fully? After the death of Stephen the Christian group in Jerusalem was scattered, and so people in other cities and the countryside heard of Christ and the religion spread, by the Dlrlelon of Christian Education, in the U S A., end used by permission, features 8> ndxats I l||r LIKE FATHER-LIKE SOU W ' T Something's in the making here. Maybe it's a garden. Maybe it's nothing more than a ditch. But what really counts is that father and son are working together happily. Sonny may be more hindrance than help just now. But, says Dad patiently, "How ever will the boy learn if he doesn't do?" When you watch, with ebbing patience your child's fum bling efforts to imitate yours,do you ever think about your heavenly Father's patience with you when you are in the wrong? He's right there, working alongside you too, wanting to show you how to carry on, and staying close by in case you get into trouble. W If you keep in touch with Him through prayer and regular church attendance, you will learn from Him how to live, just as your child learns from ? THE CHURCH FOR ALL . ... ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest (actor on earth (or the building oi character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse ol spiritual ralues. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilisation can survive. There are lour sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church They are: (1) For his own sake (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake oi the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily.
