Acts 7

Acts 7 rides right on the back of chapter 6.  Stephan is on trial and begins to speak of the past things God has done and of the present events of them killing Jesus.  The people become so angry that they cast him out of the city and stoned him.  Even as they stoned him Stephan did not waver, he even asked the Lord not to hold this sin against them!  How often do we wish bad upon our enemies or that they be punished.  However, the Bible tells us to pray for and love our enemies, Stephan was a great example of that.
