Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel

Acts 6:1-15

So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”

They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who began to argue with Stephen. But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.

Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”

For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us. All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Why?

It was the time for the disciples and Christians to go out of Jerusalem to spread the gospel, so the Lord allowed the event of Stephen to happen.

Two men a witness to accuse someone is the law from Moses, but it was supposed all men are honest.

But someone to be a witness for the money or some profit and put the righteous man dead.

Managing a church needs wisdom and the Holy Spirit, so Stephen and the other 6 men were chosen.

Lay hands on them means may the Holy Spirit be with them to serve people.

How?

God's way and mind beyond us, we just do what we should do before the Lord!
